Introducing
Our New Travel Magazine - We
are going to tell you about those travel destinations, experiences, and
techniques not written about in the Sunday travel section of your local
newspaper. We are going to present articles depicting travel that
has some brass. Did we say bad ass? No, we didn't, but we could
of. Not everyone is interested in the politically incorrect; but
we are and we know that our readers are. We're not concerned with
the politically correct, because we are political exiles, we live in foreign
lands and having become refugees from nations that have been taken over
by idiots, we have become rational anarchists, independent of nations;
living our lives on the cusp; in a state of freedom and independence.
We aspire to that form of travel that is about personal exploration through
world travel.

Western Mindset -
Hilarious writing about travel and culture clash.
| In
the Land of The Yankee Pig |
|
By
Robert Young Pelton |
In
the Land of The Yankee Pig - America
is such a polyglot culture that it is impossible to stereotype a country
of a quarter billion people who literally come from every country in the
world (if you assume that the Indians came over the land bridge from Russia).
Yet people from all over the world have an itch to walk straight up to
you and yell, "Die American Pig!" or "Get out of Bosnia" or any other slogan
of the week.

Letters
From The Blue Water ~ The Log Of The Yacht Barraveigh - Part Two - Three
guys, a 41-foot sailboat... -
and enough gear and equipment to wrap half way around the world...which
is exactly what they intendt to do. Sailing south from California...along
Central America to Costa Rica ...then west across the South Pacific...
Australia... Asia... India. Why? To learn and experience the world
first hand, and challenge themselves against the vast unkown. To escape
the daily routines that blur one week into the next. To shirk steady secure
careers now, in favor of amazing memories that last forever - The adventures
and explorations of the Yacht Barraveigh with its crew of three risk taking
young guys who have taken off the safety belt in search of a life fully
lived -

Hunting |

Namib
Hunting - Namibia?" you ask yourself. "Where the hell is that?"
If you are familiar with Brad and Angelina´s recent baby excursion
then you´ve heard of the country. Still in the dark? Get a world
map and look on the African west coast near the bottom just above South
Africa. It is a big country, about the size of Texas and Louisiana combined,
but it only has two million or so inhabitants. It has good infrastructure
and it feels wild once you get outside the capital...

Brad
Does Brazil - "The
call of Brazil beckoned me like a verdant song of sirens comely and enchanting.
I was not disappointed. By the time I returned to the States three months
later, I'd bought a modest though majestic parcel of land and I had fallen
in love with a beautiful Brasilera."

By
Jason Gaspero |
.Stay
in touch—top six communications options for global travelers - In
1996, while living in Paris, France, I´d often send postcards to
friends and family back in the States to stay in touch. Occasionally, I´d
make a long-distance phone call to say "Happy Birthday" or "Happy Holidays."
But the call never lasted for more than a few minutes. Rates were too high.
Fast forward 10 years. Now we´ve got more options for staying in
touch than ever before. Here are today´s most effective methods of
staying in touch while traveling overseas

Seven
Habits of a Truly Observant Traveler
- (Or, what
frequently published travel writers know that you might not)One
important trait the most accomplished travel writers share has nothing
to do with their writing abilities. The best travel writers are, simply
put, observant travelers. They've trained themselves to notice things.
You can, too.

Where's
Robin? -
I
have dreamt of living in a foreign land for as long as I can remember.
Seven years ago I began a global project which has taken me to over 24
countries. I wanted to learn who expatriates were, why they had left the
countries of their birth, how they chose a new one, and to see first-hand
what their day-to-day lives were like in their new homes. Ultimately, I
hoped to discover the perfect country for me.

John Pugsley |
China,
Dubai and Individual Sovereignty - Natural selection insures
individuals remember failures more vividly than successes, as those who
learn from mistakes survive to pass on their genes. But while failure teaches
individuals, nations seem to forget and endlessly repeat failed experiments.
This memory defect is especially evident with protectionism, a poisonous
scourge that impoverishes every nation that tries it.

the rip off, the B.S. and the run-around common to most books on this subject.

residency, and student visas in every region of the world. Twenty seven
nations covered - 241 pages of rock solid facts. |
| Cozumel - The Complete Guide
- Cozumel
- The Complete Guide - Click Here - Cozumel Vacation the complete
guide offers more than 200 pages of reviews, business listings, tours,
attractions, and money saving tips for island visitors. Cozumel, the largest
island in Mexico is a vacation hotspot visited by thousands of people each
day. Some stay only for a day and some stay for weeks at a time. Visitors
travel to Cozumel arriving by plane, ferry, and cruise ship. This beautiful
island has long been known as a cruise ship and diver's paradise. World-famous
dive sites discovered by Jacques Cousteau and beautiful white beaches,
Mexico's Cozumel is home to one of the biggest barrier reef systems in
the world. For the past ten years, author Patricia A. Holt has been
coming to Cozumel and experiencing all it has to offer. The one thing Cozumel
was missing was a complete guidebook for visitors to find things. That
was her purpose in compiling over 10 years of real life experience into
the perfect island directory. Now you can benefit from the knowledge she
has gained visiting Cozumel for more than a decade. You can relax and enjoy
your vacation knowing that anything you need to know from A to Z is at
your fingertips. If you are coming to Cozumel for the first time or coming

| Retirement
Planning for Offshore Living - The advantages of outsourcing your retirement have never been better! Why
not start a second "dream" career, or retire in a low cost, tropical country?
Spend less than 25% of your present monthly budget while maintaining or
even enhancing your lifestyle. Say "goodbye" to your financial planner
and her "advice" that you must accumulate at least $1,000,000 or more in
liquid assets before you retire or leave your "day job". "Retirement Planning
for Offshore Living" will become your personal coach and roadmap to "offshore
living". Use the standards provided to identify, compare and analyze your
optimal country and retirement or second career haven. |
| Privacy - Your most important
possession - They've Declared War on Your Wealth & Your Privacy
..and You Could be the Next Innocent Victim! - The
Privacy Report - Regain Lost Privacy With The Lifeboat Strategy - Mark
Nestmann was one of the people whose work I consulted when writing the
book version of Escape From America. The ongoing erosion of privacy in
the United States is the most important issue facing Americans today.
Without privacy, we have nothing, or less than nothing. Privacy is a human
imperative because privacy of self is an important biological necessity
of a sane and stable sense of self. It is a scientific fact that a rational
person cannot have their autonomous sense of self (their sense of privacy
of self,) compromised and still function as a healthy individual.
Thinking and creativity require the capacity to make independent judgments,
an invasion of our privacy such as that going on in America today violates
that capacity. It is more than important to reclaim our privacy, it is
a biological necessity. Those who want to know about privacy and how to
regain it turn to Mark Nestmann; he is the authority on issues of privacy,
and he has a wide range of solutions to our loss of privacy problems. |
