Famous for Carnaval, the Amazon, Ipanema Beach, Iguassu Falls, Corcovado, Sugar Loaf, Parilla, Beaches and Capoeira Brazil is a magnet for the Globetrotter looking for a different kind of Latin America. But Brazil is more than these famous sites, sounds and experiences.

 

There is the Pantanal, a vast wetland comparable to the Okavango Delta rich in wildlife; the African cultural hub of Salvador, where African beats, culture and a ...

Join “Professor” Goway and Jason Stratford, Goway Account Manager as he, Jason, recounts his recent visit to Switzerland.

 

See how the Swiss Alps don’t just dominate the landscape — they define it. Yet for all its natural splendor, Switzerland is not wild. It is refined. And oh, the trains. To ride the Glacier Express is to trace a line through wonder.

 

The cuisine, like everything else in Switzerland, balances indulgence with in...

Tucked deep in the heart of the South Pacific, Samoa is the kind of destination where nature feels untouched by hurry, where culture breathes with quiet pride, and where every sunrise feels like the beginning of something new. Samoa's beauty is unapologetically bold.

The coastline unfurls with white-sand beaches, kissed by turquoise lagoons. Inland waterfalls tumble from jungle-covered cliffs. The fa'a Samoa, or "Samoan way," surro...

There are mountains, and then there is Kilimanjaro — the great snow-capped crown of Africa. It doesn’t roar or boast. It simply rises. Silent and impossibly beautiful.

To trek Kilimanjaro is to answer a call — not just to adventure, but to exploration. To answer the call of running its Marathon is, some would say, crazy….for the runners out there – it is the challenge!

From the moment your boots touch the forest floor of the lower ...

It’s not always about spending less—it’s about gaining more: more meaning, more connection, and more personal growth. Finding value in travel means looking beyond the obvious, embracing the unexpected, and discovering that the richest experienc...

“G’day mate,” “Throw another shrimp on the barbie,” and “That’s not a knife… this is a knife”—these are just a few of the iconic phrases from Crocodile Dundee and Paul Hogan that made Australia, the land Downunder, famous to many North Americans in the ’80s.

Both Canadians and Americans have been fascinated with my hometown, from the creepy crawlies, magnificent shorelines, famous wines, the equally famous welcomes from Aussies, an...

    Cardiac Cowboys

    The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
