The road of the traveling book lover is fraught with hardship: while the carefree traveler traipses from one destination to the next with a light carry-on and a spring in their step, the travels of the fretful book connoisseur are typically weighed down by questions such as How many books can I fit into my carry on? and Should I pack more underwear, or more books?.

Membership travel, with its emphasis on peace of mind, is surging during the pandemic. But is health and safety only a guarantee for those with an “in” and money to burn?
Shot with clarity and thoughtfulness, these striking photographs not only provide a glimpse of the Gurung honey hunters’ unique lifestyle, but also serve to chronicle the death of this old tradition. Honey hunting is threatened by several things: the decreasing number of honeybees due to climate change; the dwindling number of honey hunters, as more and more young people in the tribe are reluctant to learn the craft; the growing medicinal reputation of Himalayan honey, which has resulted in the government opening honey-harvesting rights to contractors instead of indigenous tribespeople so that honey can be exported and sold to people in other nations; and the increasing commercialization and offering of “honey hunt tours” to tourists, which leads to the depletion of resources for traditional honey hunters.

I’ve traveled almost everywhere in Cuba: growing up on the island I spent my summers traveling from Havana to Pinar Del Rio to discover all of its treasures: Cayo Jutias, Vinales Valley, Cueva del Indio, Las Terrazas and much more.
On our second day in the world’s largest atoll, Marovo Lagoon, we spent the morning kayaking and then visited the small island of Sabulo, where a small open air market was set up for us on this uninhabited island. Artisan wood carvers from several nearby islands (who canoed over) presented their exceptional sculptures for sale. These islanders are renowned for their mother-of-pearl inlays in the figures and masks they carve. The inhabitants of the lagoon are regarded as the purveyors of the finest artisan products in the Pacific. We made several purchases…) We also had a chance to get a glimpse of lagoon islanders’ life. In the afternoon we had more opportunities for snorkeling in the pristine waters that were teeming with sea life.

The Library Room Ca'Sagredo Palazzo is one of the finest rooms in Venice and a step back in time to the baroque grandeur and opulance of the 15th Century. This era, when the rich and powerful traded silks and spices through this gateway to the East, was the foundation of Venice's pivotal role as the commercial heart of Europe.

MOUNT EVEREST BASE CAMP, NEPAL Hundreds of international mountaineers journey to Mount Everest each spring hoping to make a successful ascent of the world’s highest peak. The vast majority of their time, however, isn’t spent climbing up the flank of the mountain. It’s spent resting, acclimatizing, and preparing at the mountain’s two principle base camps, one on the Nepal side and one on the opposite side of the mountain in Tibet. Life at base camp is an odd mix of mundane domesticity, logistical challenges, and the occasional flash of life-or-death drama. --- Since commercial climbing trips began on Mount Everest in the 1990s, tourism to the peak has soared, creating a bustling city at 17,500 feet at the base of the Khumbu Glacier in Nepal. Here is a look at some points of interest in the temporary, thin-air metropolis. Heli-pad, south: Helicopters help evacuate sick or injured clients for care in Kathmandu. In recent years, the use of helicopters has increased greatly in Nepal. National Geographic Camp: For the 2019 climbing season, a National Geographic Society team is busy doing scientific research. Everest Link: Climbers stay connected with the rest of the world through pre-paid high-speed broadband Internet cards. Nepali-owned Everest Link sells the cards to both guided clients and locals. Everest E.R. tent: The Himalayan Rescue Association’s “Everest ER” provides walk-in services for basic ailments. For more serious concerns, patients are evacuated to Kathmandu via helicopter. As climbers move higher up the mountain, their bodies are increasingly at risk for a number of ailments, including pulmonary edema, cerebral edema, and blood embolisms. Big Dome Tent: The guide service Climbing the Seven Summits has a huge dome tent in the center of camp, which has clear panels for epic views of the surrounding peaks. Sagarmatha Pollution Control Committee Camp: This NGO established in 1991 by the people of the Khumbu region manages solid waste removal from camp and along the trekking trails. Heli-pad, north: Helicopter services are big business in Nepal, where aspiring climbers trek for a week to arrive at base camp. Those willing to pay the high fees can hire a helicopter to reduce travel times between villages.

Destination unknown - A Cinemagraph motorbike trip Munich, end of october, 11.30 am, 7 degrees, drizzling rain. Not the ideal conditions for a roadtrip. But since I bought my Ducati Scrambler only some months ago, this was the first opportunity this year. Packed a few clothes, my camera and headed westwards. No schedule, just ride, shoot cinemagraphs and go with the flow. Destination unknown. Quickly i realized this was going to be a tough experience. After 400 freezing and wet kilometers I found shelter for the first night at Lichtquell Haus in the Schwarzwald area. Unable to feel my body anymore, i was constantly thinking about giving up and turning back home. But as the next morning welcomed me with sunshine, i decided to really start that journey.
