He Said, She Said: Tips for Traveling Couples
Intelligent Travel14 Jun 2013 | 12:45 pmMy longtime beau, Andy, and I will be celebrating our ten-year anniversary next week. We spent our first anniversary in Paris. Since then, we’ve taken a pickup truck across Texas, a train across Europe, and a plane to the Middle East. Travel has been the backdrop of our decade together. Having visited 15 countries and almost two thirds of the States, we joke that we could win The Amazing Race, the reality show where pairs compete to be the first around the world. At home in New York our schedules overlap far less than we’d like, with both of our jobs taking us to far-flung… -

How to Become a Nat Geo Photographer
14 Jun 2013 | 8:24 amReader Question: How do I become a photographer for National Geographic? My Answer: Photography is really no different than any other pursuit in life if you plan to make a living at it. Unfortunately, there are very few full time salaried photography jobs. All the photographers who take pictures for National Geographic Traveler are freelance independent business owners. Taking pictures is an enjoyable activity, but if you decide that you want that to be your job you may find it’s not much fun anymore. So, in order to be a successful photographer you need to be absolutely obsessed… -
Traveling Like a Travel Writer
13 Jun 2013 | 1:03 pmEveryone’s talking about “traveling like a local” these days. Travelers, bloggers, tour operators, souvenir clerks, industry types in pleated slacks – they all seem to say it’s the best way to get to know a place. Go local or go home, right? Well, not me. I’ve spent a dozen years doing research for travel guidebooks, articles, and videos on trips that have taken me to cities on stilts in Siberia, abandoned kingdoms in Burma — even Queens on the 7 train. And while I’m likely to remember the locals I meet more vividly than the badly lit history museums I breeze through,… -
The Maine of Spain
13 Jun 2013 | 11:29 amYou’ve never heard of my favorite place in Spain. It’s not stylish Barcelona, foodie San Sebastian, or picturesque Mallorca. But La Coruña is just as unique. I’ve been returning to the small capital city of Galicia — the northwestern corner of Spain that sits atop Portugal like a cap — for twelve years now. I first came here for the traditional post-graduation tour of Europe’s best bars and cheapest hostels with my boyfriend (now husband), one of La Coruña’s adoptive sons (he grew up in Bilbao). The city became our home-away-from-home stopover, where his… -
The World Is a Carpet
12 Jun 2013 | 12:10 pmMy #TripLit Pick for June: The World Is a Carpet: Four Seasons in an Afghan Village It is easy to become inured to a country like Afghanistan, to dismiss it as a place endlessly wracked by war, hopeless. It is easy to forget that it is full of human beings who do not fight on one side or the other but simply live their destinies, giving birth and harvesting whatever crops they are lucky to grow, building and rebuilding their homes, teaching their children, burying their elders, dreaming, scheming, worrying if there will be enough food the next season, or month, or day. In her new…

Railway Hackers In Cambodia Build 'Bamboo Trains' (VIDEO)
19 Jun 2013 | 12:00 pmFiled under: Asia, Cambodia A decrepit railway line in Cambodia only sees about one scheduled train per week, but that doesn't mean it goes unused the rest of the time. According to BoingBoing.net, entrepreneurial railway hackers have been building makeshift trains out of a slatted, bamboo platform set on two sets of wheels. The cart-like contraption is then power by a motor, which propels it at speeds up to 35 mph. It's a cheap and efficient way to move both people and cargo around the countryside, although the structural integrity of the rig is questionable. A lack of safety concerns didn't… -
