Am I a Cultural Imperialist?

I got on a bright yellow bus with "Awesome" scrolled along the side of its body. I lined up behind rolling suitcases, backpacks and wide-brimmed hats to book a ticket to the islands. I arrived to five resort employees singing a Fijian welcoming song, somewhat half-heartedly. A tourist I became ...

Journeys of a Lifetime in March

Welcome back to my new monthly series on Nomadderwhere, one which highlights the incredible trips one could take in that current month - thanks to a vibrant book called Journeys of a Lifetime by National Geographic. Each month I pick a couple adventures from each section in the book in order ...

Congrats again on the great gobackpacking.com debut. I looove these pics. They have so much spirit and life in them. I think some of my favorite travel pics feature people, especially kids. The one of the children reaching for the camera in this post made me so happy. The cute pig is priceless too!

  Thanks, Nancy! Those kids really wanted to grab the camera, and the number they did on a plant below their trample was pretty brutal. Excited kids sure can take down a fern. Uganda was great, and I hope more people check it out.
