Since first arriving on the fabled Indonesian island in the 1970s, Canadian John Hardy has gone from jewelry-brand founder to environmental trailblazer. He and his wife, Cynthia, a silver-haired California native, are well-known around Bali for establishing the “bamboo cathedral” Green School, which instructs future generations in how to be eco-savvy. Some 500 children under the age of 12 now attend, and there are similar projects underway in New Zealand, South Africa, and Mexico.

Today, there are plenty of ways we can get a glimpse into the past. Looking at old photos and gazing at artifacts in museums can help us learn about history, but the best way to feel like you’re really time traveling is by setting foot on age-old sites. Jet-setting across the globe to sightsee is not entirely feasible for most people, but luckily we live in an age when you’re only a few clicks away from seeing the other side of the world. So if you’re ready to take a trip around the world, we’ve put together a list of 8 awe-inspiring ancient ruins that you can excavate and explore from the comfort of your home.

(CNN) — Like something straight out of a fairytale, the abandoned village of Houtouwan on Shengshan Island, part of the Shengsi Archipelago off the eastern coast of China, has recently become an Internet sensation and an unusual travel hotspot. Houtouwan was once a prosperous fishing village, with a 1980s population of more than 3,000 residents. However, because of its remote and hard-to-access location, its residents started to move out in the '90s. In 2002, the village was officially depopulated and merged into a nearby village. After decades of abandonment, empty houses in the ocean-facing, cliffside village -- some of them still furnished -- have been taken over by a blanket of lush climbing plants.

When America left the military base after the war, the remaining goods—everything from weaponry to bottles of Coca-Cola—were offered to the French and British at a very low price, 6 cents to the dollar. However, the colonizers were going on the assumption that should they refuse to buy the items, the U.S. military would be forced to simply leave them behind for free. The Americans were having none of this. To spite the British and French, the military made the rash decision to drive all of the vehicles, food, clothing, drinks, and other equipment to a wharf on the southern coast of the island. The army then drove all of the vehicles into the sea, used bulldozers to dump the rest of the supplies over the wharf, before also driving the bulldozers into the sea, ensuring that the European countries would not be able to get their hands on the items at all, free or otherwise. Millions of dollars worth of goods were completely destroyed over the period of those two days, rendered unusable at the bottom of the ocean. As a result of the dumping, the waters were contaminated with fuel, rubber, metal and other waste, leaving the local Vanuatuans shocked at the carnage, though they salvaged what they could once the Americans had finally departed.

Most of us will never climb Everest, but the mountain still looms large in our minds every spring when hundreds of hearty souls travel there for adventure. Everest sits on the border between Nepal and China, and the most popular route to the top has long been via Nepal, on the mountain's south side. Here's an overview of what that journey entails. Much of this text originally appeared in What You Missed: Everest, a limited newsletter series published in 2018. We'll be publishing What You Missed: Everest in 2019 as well: subscribe to this email list to receive the special Everest edition every Saturday during the climbing season, starting March 30. While climbers are resting and getting their bodies used to the altitude at various camps on the mountain, we'll be sending you updates on various expeditions, alongside historical context from Outside's vast Everest story archive.

To sweat or not sweat, there’s the perennial problem faced by guys all the time. Let’s be honest – all of us are afraid to annoy our surrounding colleagues and peers with wet and (sometimes stinky) underarms. To prevent this unwanted situation, the Tropika Club team is going to help differentiate a deodorant from an antiperspirant, and explain which one might be more ideal for you. Read on. Simply put, we’ll do whatever we require to do to smell good– or at least not scent bad– yet does that indicate it’s far better to regulate the smell our bodies naturally generate with antiperspirant or to stop the problem at its resource with an antiperspirant?
