Special Travel Experiences

In 2019 Kurt and Kate took a sabbatical from their daily work routines for a year of travel and adventures around the world. This book is a visual journey and travelogue of the year that was. From exploring villages with locals in Malawi and the San bushpeople in the Kalahari desert to camping under the stars with the Big 5 and mokoro-ing around hippos in Botswana; from floating in the dead sea and learning firsthand about tensions in Israel and Palestine to caravanning around and overlooking sunset ocean views in Montenegro and visiting a nuclear powerplant in Eastern Europe; from swimming with sharks and eating lobsters in Caye Caulker to roasting marshmallows atop an active volcano in Guatemala and cooking nakatamales in Nicaragua. This book will appeal to intrepid travellers looking for unique, local and authentic experiences and inspiration for their next great trip that they won't find on the usual "best-of " or "top-10" travel lists. The experiences are categorised into themes, including adventures, cultural, social projects, nature/animal encounters, walks, on the water, history, sunset/views, food experiences, and markets.
