For over a century, like the other Hawaiian Islands, Hawai‘i Island depended heavily on sugar cane as a major component of its economy. The story of how sugar barons controlled the Kingdom, Territory, and State of Hawai‘i in the late nineteenth century and well into the twentieth need not be recounted here. Global competition ultimately brought an end to Hawaiian sugar, and today it continues in a much reduced form only on Maui. Even so, if we look closely, we can still see the influence of sugar, especially in North Kohala. Sugar production needed water, an enormous amount of water. To produce a pound of sugar required up to 500 gallons of water. One million gallons was required every day for even a relatively small 100-acre plantation.

For a country with 7,000 years of history, Malta isn’t usually a place that comes up often on your radar of potential vacation spots. It gets overlooked for other Mediterranean spots like Cinque Terre or Positano or Corfu. Here’s why it shouldn’t. On a map, Malta looks like just a peek of land below Sicily; you’d miss it if you weren’t squinting with the intention to find it. But this Mediterranean nation is a unique gift that keeps on giving for travelers who like food, wine, beaches, and history. Two majorly important Caravaggio paintings are here under one roof, in one of the most jaw-droppingly gilded cathedrals you’ll ever see. The island is home to the oldest free-standing structures on the planet (yes, older than the pyramids). They make a very tiny quantity of very good wine, and more than enough cheese to eat along with it. Most recently, its claim to fame has been Hollywood’s use of the timeless landscape for filming (i.e. Game of Thrones, Gladiator, Assassin's Creed, Murder on the Orient Express). With tourism numbers growing wildly every year, it’s time to visit Malta.

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.

A year into extreme challenges, we’re asking ourselves some big questions. Untethered from our daily commutes, where do we really want to live and work? Faced with health and travel restrictions, how do we still have fun? In the midst of so much change, how can we adapt? The answers will be different for everybody, whether you’ve lost your job, gone remote, moved back home, or stuck it out. Maybe you’ll take to the open road for outdoor adventures and history lessons in real time. Work remotely from the beach or the backseat. Find a new town to call home and a new community to serve. The Roaming ‘20s is all about seizing this moment of exploration. We’re talking to creative risk-takers about how they used 2020 to start a new chapter, flip their work-life balance, and have a ton of fun doing it. We’re embracing the nomad in each of us and rethinking the way we live, work, and travel.

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.

In many countries in Southeast Asia, such as Myanmar, Thailand, Laos and Cambodia, the arrival of spring also marks the beginning of the new year. Songkran (สงกรานต์), as the festival welcoming in the new year is called in Thai, is often celebrated with playful water fights on city streets over the course of three chaotic days. In 2022, Songkran will begin April 13 and last until the evening of April 15. The dates are calculated via the lunisolar calendar, which accounts both for the movement of the sun through the zodiac and the moon’s cycles. Specifically, the dates mark the period when the Sun’s leaving the constellation of Pisces and entering Aries. Over these days, cities turn into playful battlegrounds. Children emerge armed from their houses and bands of revelers gather on the sides of the roads ready to waylay passersby. This, though, is a war with water.
