Southern Travel

Laura Pariani è andata per la prima volta a 15 anni in Argentina e in Patagonia, in un viaggio folgorante alla ricerca di un nonno che si era trasferito là. Su questo palinsesto i ritorni si sono accumulati come fonte inesauribile di scoperte di sé e della vita. Nella sua Patagonia il paesaggio del Fin del Mundo è segnato dalle ferite immedicabili dello sterminio indio. C'è uno spaesante contrasto tra la "discrezione dei manufatti umani", spesso definiti "arrugginiti", e la "densa vitalità" della natura.

For many people, Brazil conjures up images of football, Carnaval, and fine coffee, but it's much more than beaches and bossa nova. If we had to choose one word to describe the country, it would probably be diversity. The variety of lifestyles, ethnic groups, landscapes, and climates Brazil encompasses is quite simply enormous. This guide provides you with a comprehensive introduction to everything you need to know.

The second-largest country in South America, Argentina has been through great changes in recent years. Its journey from dictatorship to democracy has left many scars, but these are largely eclipsed by the pride and resilience of the Argentinian people, who have developed a style, a language, and a joie de vivre that are all their own. Embracing much more than gaucho, tango, and soccer, Argentina is very unlike its neighbors. And, due to the unique way in which it evolved, is quite different from the expectations many visitors have of a stereotypical Latin American destination.

The largest and most populous Central American country, Guatemala is a land of contrasts and contradictions. It offers great physical beauty alongside ancient Mayan ruins and a conglomeration of diverse peoples and cultures. It is also unique in Central America in that more than half its population is of Mayan Indian origin.

Ben and Helen Harrison set aside their comfortable life in San Francisco and headed to Costa Rica to build a 38-foot sailboat.

It was a dauntless task and a challenge that put their marriage, their sanity, and their very lives on the line.

In India, a popular trivia about a movie of Superstar Rajnikanth is that it was shot in Machu Picchu, one of the seven new wonders of the world. But not many would be aware that Peru is the country where Machu Picchu is located. Even fewer would have had the chance to visit it. I was fortunate to spend a couple of weeks there during December 2023. I was inspired by its antiquity, history, and natural beauty. I have attempted to share my experiences through this book.

This is the fifth of a series of books I have or will be released titled "Italy Then and Now," each dedicated to one of the twenty Italian regions. This book showcases both the Trentino-Alto Adige as well as the Friuli-Venezia Giulia regions' evolution, notable historical and contemporary figures, and unique regional cuisines and wine specialties. Given the relatively small size of the Trentino-Alto Adige and Friuli-Venezia Giulia regions, this book, as an exception, includes both regions.

Culture shock hits you in ways you never expect. I guess that's why it's so...well, shocking. Living in another country is a fascinating experience. Southern China is absolutely beautiful and Chinese food is figuratively to die for. A native of Minnesota, the transition to mega-city-China was challenging, but it was a challenge which allowed me to grow. It opened my eyes with new experiences, new sights, new sounds, and my hope is that I'm able to share some of that with you in this audiobook.
