As you get farther and farther from the main tourist tracks in the world, the standard and definition of national parks [...]
A couple of years ago the TWBR route began to take shape. When first planning a route for a grand voyage like this, the sky is the limit. Countries that you never even knew existed become possibilities; geography becomes a daily topic of conversation. It is quite interesting just how large some countries are that [...]
