Adventure Travel
Keep It Active
Adventure Travel is my true forte, having worked as a columnist for National Geographic Adventure, contributing editor on adventure travel for Budget Travel Magazine, and author of books for Outside Magazine, Men’s Journal, and Discovery Channel. Thus, the reason why we took the domain name, ActiveTravels.com, more than a decade ago.
All you have to do is tell us the sport you like—road biking, mountain biking, hiking, backpacking, sea kayaking, surfing, scuba diving, whitewater rafting, a multisport adventure, you name it, and we’ll tell you the best countries in the world for your particular love.
How Much Adventure Can You Handle?
This is by far the most important question! We discuss your conditioning and delve into the trips that are best suited for your level of competence. We also discuss whether you’re like us, who prefer an excellent restaurant and a bed to sleep in after a day of active travel, or are happy to be away from civilization in the bush for as long as possible.

Think I’m kidding? See my story in Sierra Magazine on Canoeing in Maine’s North Woods,
