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 to provide you inspiration for [...]

I pretty much praise anyone who finds a reason or the time to explore my site, and when people search the web and end up on Nomadderwhere, I’m just as thrilled. Some of my most popular posts are some I wouldn’t have pegged to be for the masses, for example:

When traveling to distant lands and seeking adventure make us more vulnerable to risk and danger, but statistics [...]

As often as one would see a road sign or a mailbox on the highway in America, in Cambodia, one sees the reoccurrence of signage displaying political loyalty: Cambodian People’s Party, Funcinpec, and oodles others adorning the mouths of people’s driveways.
