With that title you probably know…it’s time for a new collection of the best travel stories on the web . The July issue of Perceptive Travel is out now and we go wandering in pursuit of some strange angles.
Luke Armstrong is back with another tale from his adopted home of Guatemala, following a naturalist with exploration in his blood who is looking for a rare butterfly first discovered by his great-grandfather.
Steven Crook, author of several books on Taiwan, takes us deep into Blood Rites in a Taiwanese Temple .
Carolyn Heller returns this month, fresh off her award from the Travel Media Association of Canada for a previous story on northern Ontario . This time she looks at isolation of a different kind while encountering a North Korea soldier on the border with China. See One Step Across .
William Caverlee checks out a few soul-searching travel books from Frances Mayes, Donna Leon, and Esther Woolfson. Graham Reid covers new world music albums from around the globe, including a great collection of Indian classical music and the return of Sierra Leone’s Refugee All Stars.
We give away something cool each month to a Perceptive Travel subscriber/follower who is paying attention and last month two readers scored. They each got gift certificates to go shopping at the Samsonite USA website for a new suitcase or a daypack. Speaking of something to take on your next trip, this time one lucky reader will get this nice $140 value Drifter Pack from STM Bags. I’ve been using one of these myself lately and it has become my go-to daypack when I need to travel with my laptop and have loads of pockets for other gadgets.
