Out
of Antarctica - Safari Without Borders - Antarctica is a frozen
otherworld safari without borders…stadium-sized, sculpted blue and green
icebergs drifting past, thundering, skyscraper-height glaciers over jagged
mountains pouring into a sea of breaching whales and affable penguins.
This continent gives new meaning to hitting bottom, way WAY down under.

Destination
TBD - In the KR years, it was tattle or be killed. How can a society
endure that and come out unscathed? Some ex-pats say the Cambodians are
dysfunctional, one generation passing it onto the next. But I have not
seen bad behavior, malicious intent. In Cambodians, I have seen nothing
but a genuine kindness. But I am just a transient visitor, barely scratching
the surface…

Bohemia
on the Black Sea - In
Act 3, Scene 3 of Shakespeare’s A Winter’s Tale, Antigonus asks, “Thou
art perfect then our ship hath touched upon the deserts of Bohemia?” Scholars
have long debated if the English scribe had geographically misplaced the
landlocked region (which is now the western part of the Czech Republic)
or if he was making a statement about the region as a cultural outpost.
Or both.

Montenegro
- Just Another Tourist Playground? - As the global economy evolves,
tourists often find themselves in destinations that survive primarily because
of their visits. Places that supported themselves for millennia by exporting
olives, grains, textiles, or lived off their own produce now must promote
themselves as show places of history and playgrounds, dependent on attracting
wallets and cameras from abroad. Take Montenegro, a true jewel on the Adriatic.

 "The
work I do today is the stuff of dreams... stress-free, romantic, fun. And
all sorts of everyday people do it. Like me, they've left behind the drudgery
of 9-to-5... the brainless monotony... the boring desk job... and today
they get paid to follow their bliss. Care to join us? As far as I'm concerned,
it's the best job in the world. Who wouldn't want to travel the globe and
get paid for it?" Steenie Harvey - Freelance Travel Writer - Steenie Harvey
is right. Travel writing sets us free to pursue more than a monotonous
humdrum life plus it also allows us to live where we want to live.
Travel writing has become an art form, but it is an art form that can be

You Ever Wanted To Know About Buying A Castle |

By
Captain Robert Sean Friedman

 All
You Ever Wanted To Know About Buying A Castle By Helga van Horn
- I once said that most people will do almost anything to read about buying
a castle, because it's such a fascinating subject; but few of them will
ever really go out and buy a castle. Well I wrote that before the Berlin
wall fell and the sudden surprise appearance of numerous magnificent castles
in Eastern Europe. Suddenly we were seeing castles worth buying at
prices we could afford. Then came the expat revolution, (diaspora?) and
thousands of people starting moving overseas; and what better house could
we ask for beyond a castle? That's the top of the line in housing.
...and think of the business you could run out of a castle; Bed & Breakfast,
Resort Hotel, Restaurant, Spa, Condiminium Project, Joint Ownership, Time
Share . . . you can use your own imagination to figure out dozens of use
concepts, because the greatest part of buying a castle is the dreaming.
. . . and there's money to be made with castle ownership . . .
People have
always traveled to distant parts of the world to see great buildings or
other works of art, to learn new languages, to experience new cultures,
or to taste new cuisine. As long ago as the time of the Roman Republic
places such as Baiae were popular coastal resorts for the rich. Castles
are a natural draw; always have been, always will be. They aren't building
any more 300 year old castles - supplies are limited.
Last year tourism
generated USD$ 5,490.4 billion dollars of economic activity and it is set
to generate even more in the coming years. It is perhaps the major industry
that anyone can enter - - with no limits to its growth. If you get
a castle - and if you buy it as a result of seeing it advertised on EscapeArtist.com
or as a result of reading this eBook report on buying castles, and if you're
willing to put a statement on your website stating as much; then EscapeArtist.com
will give you free advertising for your castle-run business.
Also, keep
in mind that if nothing else, traveling through Europe looking for a castle
would make an ideal vacation... |

eBooks are a great idea. Consider

buy a ranch, get residency and a passport; you won't find a standard book
on how to go about accomplishing those ends at your local library.
You will here. We have hundreds of great eBooks lined up and coming
your way. Our list of titles is growing daily.
| Discovering
China - Discovering
China ~ China is a fascinating country that offers a wealth of
opportunity for visitors, investors and potential residents. Of course
there are plenty of options all over the world, so why China? Well, anyone
can observe that the world’s economy is shifting and the Chinese dragon
is on the rise. It is an exciting place to be right now that is full of
new horizons. But there’s also the history, the culture, the amiable nature
of the people, the atmosphere – being right there in the middle of these
wholesale changes where an entire country is seemingly stepping out of
the darkness and into the light – there is so much to like and to discover
about China. It’s an amazing feeling you get witnessing all of this progress
and being there to follow it first hand. Then there’s the work ethic and
family-oriented nature of the people…and the challenge that goes with breaking
through your own cultural barriers and starting something new. Get the

| The Sultanate
of Oman -
The Sultanate of Oman ~ The
peaceful and stable Sultanate of Oman has been welcoming foreigners for

new vista for expatriates and travelers to find opportunity. This detailed
eBook covers all that this country has to offer, from enchanting cities
and coastal resorts to natural splendor and historical sites. Among plentiful
photographs and extensive descriptions of every geographic area, Daniel
Cox exposes a country that has been otherwise obscured by its bigger and
bolder neighbors. You will be intrigued by what you see. Get the report

are surprised and sometimes even blindsided but what great accomplishments

| Futures
and Forex - Futures
and Forex
~ Do you have a small amount of money that you can afford to lose? Have
you ever wanted to ‘play the markets’ …but just a little bit? Then
these books are for you. Speculating on ‘futures’ or ‘forex’…the money
markets, is always risky, and requires skill, but these two excellently
concise eBooks will give you an idea of how to make some money, and not
lose too much. Offered as a ‘two for the price of one’ package, ‘Futures
for Small Speculators’ and ‘Forex for Small Speculators’, are essential
companions to the small investor. A small speculator is someone that “is
willing to engage in risky business transactions on the chance of generating
great profits” but, for whatever reason, has very limited capital to risk.
The small speculator’s risk capital is typically between $2500 to $15,000.
