Discover magical, remote locations around the world, from Africa to the Arctic, that will help you disconnect from modern life and enter a state of wonder. Silence. Calm. Open spaces. These are the new luxuries. In this turbulent era it has become ever more crucial to disconnect and slow down. Remote Places to Stay shares 22 out-of-the-way places where you can get off the grid and reconnect to the essentials, surrounded by raw pristine nature. Some of these remote places are only accessible by foot, others by train, small boat, or bush plane--but they are all places with a very strong sense of space. From lavish to spare architecture, from the Arctic to the desert landscapes of Africa, from a peaceful retreat in the Himalayas to a secret convent in the south of Italy, each exceptional retreat has been carefully selected to inspire and spark a state of wonder. Exploring the pages of Remote Places to Stay is a visual journey you will never forget.

This Is My South inspires the reader to explore the Southern States––Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia––like never before. No other guide pulls together these states into one book in quite this way with a fresh perspective on can’t-miss landmarks, off the beaten path gems, tours for every interest, unique places to sleep, and classic restaurants. So come see for yourself and create your own experiences along the way!

A true story about a trip to Thailand that went horribly awry-or perfectly right-depending on the perspective. Myles thought a trip to Thailand was a brilliant idea. So did his best friend, Dan; Kimmy, a young girl both had just met at a barbecue; Myles' little sister, Laura, and her boyfriend, Flash. White sand beaches, crystal clear water, and dollar-beers awaited. But, unbeknownst to Dan, or anyone for that matter, he wouldn't like beaches . . . or being drugged, robbed, getting sick, or any of the other horribly wrong things that happened to him.
