You hear a lot about San Francisco (SF) these days but what you should know is that the city continues to deliver a vital fusion of cultural ideas and influences. This is the kind of town where self-driving cars cruise by historic row houses, where authentic dumpling and taco joints sit next to Michelin-rated restaurants, where hippie meets hipster, where Victorian buildings give way to Mediterranean architecture, where the water meets the woods, where…well, you get the point.

With just 29 suites, Shinta Mani Mustang - A Bensley Collection, is perched high above the town of Jomsom at the gateway of Upper Mustang, an isolated land which was previously forbidden to outsiders for centuries. This almost mythical region with its dramatic landscapes is hidden in the Kali Gandaki valley between the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri Mountain ranges. It is one of the deepest valleys in the region and one of the most unique and preserved regions in the world. "Mustang" in Tibetan, translates to "Plain of Aspiration". It is bordered by the Tibetan plateau with an elevation that rises from 1,372 to 8,167 meters above sea level. Shinta Mani Mustang – A Bensley Collection is the perfect base for trekking and adventures in the surrounding area, exploring Buddhist monasteries and culture, or just enjoying the awe-inspiring vistas of some of the highest snow-capped peaks in the world, including the formidable Mount Nilgiri Himal.

Our original plan was just to do relatively short trips around the east coast, mostly just beach camping in Montauk, NY, where the summer rental properties are insanely expensive. But eventually, that first camper took us across the country, all over the Baja Peninsula, down the Pacific Coast of Mexico and all over the Southwest USA. It’s incredibly liberating when you get really mobile and comfortable enough to live long term. When I found the Mercedes G Ambulance, I was originally going to just import it, but then I started thinking it would be a wasted opportunity to not also tour Europe, and while you’re at it you might as well dip down to North Africa and explore Morocco. It can kind of snowball once you start exploring. If you’re going to go here, you might as well check out there, and so on.

My friend April, adventurous sailor and world traveler, had told me of Moonhole not long after we sailed our boats to the Caribbean island of Bequia. The story was one that captured my attention and drew me in instantly. It was a story of an American — Tom Johnston — who dreamed of living a life at one with nature, a life of peacefulness without the trappings of society, without electricity or technology. A story of how that same American, in 1964, founded a community of homes that were built with materials only found on the small island of Bequia — whale bones, rocks, shells, concrete, discarded anchor chains, etc.

In the 20th century, anthropologists fell over themselves to study the “cargo cult” phenomenon in the South Pacific. But was it really a new religion—or just a Western fantasy? ---- ONE DAY IN 1900 OR 1940, or at some point in between, a man whose name was John Frum—although he might not have been a man, and his name might not have been John Frum—arrived on Tanna island, in an archipelago that was then called the New Hebrides but is now called the Republic of Vanuatu. He came, someone told me, in a plane that could somehow land in the bush without needing an airstrip, but I also heard that he simply walked up from the sea, and that he appeared, mysteriously, in a village one day. His home might be on Tanna’s tallest mountain; or nearby, inside of the island’s active volcano, which shoots lava and smoke into the sky every night; or in my own country, the United States, thousands of miles away. He may have appeared first as a tiger, although Tanna is deep in the South Pacific, where no tigers live. Then again, that may have been only a dream, and the tiger also could also have been only a cat, and John might have appeared first as a black man with a mustache, before finally returning in his final form, that of a white man who could magically speak the native languages of the island. Anyway, he came, and that much almost everybody agrees on.

(CNN) — Another day, another company offering a "dream job" in a tropical location as a publicity stunt -- although we have to admit this one's pretty cool. Floyd's Pelican Bar, a wooden shack bar in Jamaica that's only accessible by boat, is giving one lucky applicant the opportunity to "pull pints in one of the most Instagrammable drinking spots in the world." According to the ad created by UK travel company Virgin Holidays, owner Floyd Forbes has finally decided to take a break after nearly 18 years behind the bar, and needs someone to fill in for him this summer.
