Alone UK winner Tom Williams spent 35 days solo in the Canadian wilderness and came out with one clear lesson: fear is almost never as big as the reality. Here's what he learned about discomfort, growth, and why the trips that scare you are the ones that change you.

I'm heading back to Kenya in March with two group trips, and after watching what worked (and what spectacularly didn't) during my first overlanding experience, I've got some thoughts on packing. Let me save you from showing up with a hardshell suitcase and unrealistic expectations about looking cute in the bush. Because trust me, that's not happening.

You've seen the Instagram posts - hotels promising "eco-friendly" stays, tour operators using "sustainable" in every caption. But most aren't walking the talk. Welcome to greenwashing in tourism, where buzzwords are cheap but real ethical practices are anything but. Learn the two questions that reveal whether a travel company is actually ethical or just good at marketing.

Dating abroad sounds romantic until you're resolving conflict in your second language. Digital nomad Lindsey Tague spent 5 years dating locals across Mexico, Colombia, Peru, and beyond—here are 10 truths nobody warns you about.

We've all said it: "I'd love to travel, but I just don't have time right now." But here's what I've learned after taking hundreds of people on transformational trips: the people who think they can't afford to step away are usually the ones who need it most. Your brain needs space to work its magic—and that space doesn't happen at your desk at 10 PM grinding through emails.

Last year on a scouting trip to Kenya, a teacher asked me for one thing: pads. Girls at her school were missing 3-7 days every month because they didn't have period products. Some were dropping out entirely. Their futures were shrinking because of something as basic as a period.

That conversation changed everything. In March 2026, both of my Kenya groups will distribute period care kits to 260 girls at a local school. Each $10 kit includes four reusable pads that last up to 10 years, underwear, soap, and a carrying pouch.

This isn't about showing up with disposable pads and leaving. It's about providing a decade of reliable period care, keeping girls in school, and investing in their futures. Here's how we're doing it—and how you can help.

If someone who literally gets set on fire for a living can book a trip to Morocco right after a divorce, what's actually stopping you? I sat down with two Hollywood stunt doubles to talk about fear, risk, and why the people who do the most "dangerous" things are often the calmest travelers. Here's what they taught me about overcoming travel fear.
