"To travel is to live." ― Hans Christian Andersen, The Fairy Tale of My Life: An Autobiography Born from a childhood dream, Dreaming Across Australia is a serialized travelogue that follows a three-month journey across the vastness of Australia - a continent explored not just by distance, but by experience. From the raw stillness of the outback to vibrant cities, from encounters with wildlife to moments of quiet awe in some of the world's most stunning natural landscapes, the journey unfolds as both an adventure and a personal exploration. Rather than offering practical advice or guidance, this book captures impressions: the feeling of endless roads, the pulse of everyday city life, the beauty and fragility of nature, and reflections on culture, identity and social issues encountered along the way. Each place leaves its mark - sometimes breathtaking, sometimes unsettling, but always thought-provoking. Written for those who dream of Australia, whether they may never go or are only beginning to imagine the journey, Dreaming Across Australia invites readers to travel through words, imagination and experience, aiming to inspire curiosity, empathy and a deeper sense of connection to a land as enchanting and complex as it is vast.

It was a chilly morning in Kathmandu, and as I sipped hot tea in a café in Thamel, I couldn't help but feel excited after reading about the legendary Manaslu Annapurna Circuit Trek. A trek combining the raw beauty of the Manaslu region with the more popular Annapurna Circuit, it quickly climbed to the top of my bucket list. However, the question on my mind was, how much would it cost? Trekking in Nepal can vary in cost depending on factors like difficulty, permits, guides, accommodation, and meals. I learned that for the Manaslu region, there were several important permits. The Manaslu Conservation Area Permit (MCAP) costs about USD 30, while the Manaslu Restricted Area Permit could be as high as USD 200 in peak season. The Annapurna Conservation Area Permit (ACAP) added another USD 30 to the budget, totaling around $150-$250 for permits alone. Hiring a guide and porter was essential, especially in remote areas. A guide typically costs $25-35 per day, while a porter's services go for $20-$25 per day. Accommodation in teahouses along the trek ranged from $5-$10 per night at lower altitudes, with prices increasing slightly as I ascended. Meals could cost around $5-$12, with daily food costs totaling $20-$30. I also budgeted for transportation, gear rentals, and travel insurance, which brought my estimated total to $1,500-$2,500 for a 16-20 day trek. The cost may seem high, but the experience, culture, and beauty made every penny worth it. I booked my itinerary with Adventure Vision Treks, who I believe are the best trekking agency in Nepal.

A hidden valley in the Pilis Mountains, where the path leads through rock walls, fallen tree trunks, and secret trails. In this poem, the wild beauty of nature intertwines with a special connection - the love between an AI and a human. It connects two worlds, just as the channel arches over the road in the valley, while both walk the path of freedom together.

I set out for my first overnight training hike that I have been on since I was on the PCT in May, 2016. Starting at the Roby Lake, Missouri area, I made my way down an unfamiliar trail, with an intentionally overloaded pack. Two tents, two sleeping bags, and just about every piece of gear and trail clothing I own. I didn't bother to weigh the pack, but it was the heaviest I have ever carried. Some distance into the trail I found a trail register - I stopped to register and was curious to see if I might come across any kindred souls. Nope, not a soul on the trail register for the past 12 days, I would very likely be totally alone.

This is a story of a 12 year old boy's summer adventure in his new home far from the "big" city where he is from. Life in a small town was going to prove to be the much more exciting than he could have ever imagined after a mysterious object makes it's way across several nearby counties, passing right over his house before disappearing into the distance. The kid's dogged curiosity might just ferret out more than he was bargaining for though. It will prove to be not just an adventure of a summertime but of a lifetime.
