I promise you, from the bottom of my heart, I have no idea when that story is running. I mean this literally, no idea.

Gorilla Trekking: A Life-Changing Encounter

In Curator Magazine, journalist @ManTalkFood reflects on the most memorable travel experiences from his five years as a nomad, and among them, a transformative journey with @VolcanoesSafari in Rwanda and Uganda back in 2022.

"Coming face-to-face with a family group of gorillas in the dense jungles of East Africa was a revelatory experience," writes Emen. "Spending 10 days with Volcanoes Safaris in Rwanda and Uganda offered the ability to embark on two such foundation-shaking gorilla treks, along with hikes to observe golden monkeys and chimpanzees."

Few wildlife encounters compare to locking eyes with a silverback in its natural habitat or witnessing the tenderness of a mother cradling her infant. Travelers seeking meaningful, conservation-driven experiences, Volcanoes Safaris continues to set the gold standard for responsible gorilla trekking and immersive cultural connections in East Africa.

Journalists interested in covering sustainable safaris and fascinating experiences. Let’s connect!

This doesn’t absolve 93 or 20 at all, but NYR went into the deadline needing a 1RW and believing they were serious Cup contenders. They should have sold the farm for Guentzel. They ended up with third liners rotating on the first line.

@SOMMspirations @KatySJoyce1 Would be happy to! Have taken 20k+ miles of road trips since 2020.

[Friends Of Sri Lanka @FriendsSriLanka]

Sri Lanka can be translated as Resplendent Island, or Great Island, & with its lush, varied landscapes & abundant resources, it’s easy to see why.
Now the oft-struggling island nation is seeking to reclaim that destiny for itself.

I went on a journey to learn what makes vodka great—and why such greatness can be found on the shelves of any given Costco.

Rather than making you head to the countryside, whiskey brands are now heading to the city with dedicated visitors centers in London, Edinburgh, Dublin, Louisville and beyond.

Rome, Athens, Barcelona, Santorini? All amazing. All bogged down by tourists. Next summer, try a different approach. Maybe Malta, Paros or Madeira.

Your next apres ski session in Switzerland may be sake & sushi, as opposed to champagne & fondue. Japanese fine dining is taking the Swiss Alps by storm. https://t.co/ScZOkmcAJH

The coastline? Beautiful & unbothered.

The food? Incredible.

The wine? Getting better and better each year.

The resorts? Lavish.

Puglia is where you should be taking your next Italy trip. https://t.co/kouiey55sw
