My search to buy local, reduce plastic and stay natural for decent quality toiletries at an affordable price turned far more difficult than it should be.

Thankfully, I tracked down some options in my western Canadian world.

I received no kickbacks, royalties or any other incentives for posting this article. The links go straight to their websites and I do not collect any benefit for directing you there.

Slabs of ice rose like crooked steps that led to a snow-crusted palace. Its frozen walls towered over surrounding peaks, most of which were giants themselves standing nearly seven thousand metres high. Although there was no real palace on Khangchendzonga’s summit, its shape and grandness appeared to reign over the landscape. It is a sprawling mountain often hidden under clouds or seemingly lost in a fog. At 8,586 metres, Khangchendzonga—also spelled Kanchenjunga—ranks the third highest mountain in the world.

Experience Rwanda's gorillas and Malawi's elephants in two of Africa's stunning national parks. Seeing animals with such depth of emotion living in their natural environment is a touching experience, a glimpse worth experiencing.

Big animals bring big swigs of adrenalin. I recollect sitting inside a Land Rover in Southern Malawi when a solitary male elephant decided to charge us. All the cells in my body felt momentarily stunned, unable to move beyond flicking my eyelids wide open. 

Curious to find out about my most memorable moments? Hint: Both took place in some of Africa's most remote national parks

Why You Should Read Searching for Unique before Your Next Vacation

9/9/2019

0 Comments

 
I wrote Searching for Unique to help fellow travellers cut through the myriad of travel guides, blogs and brochures and focus on the best destinations from around the world—those hidden gems that still elude most tourists.

Instead of trying to pick a country and then figure out what to do there, Searching for Unique covers multiple countries and groups each destination by theme. So, as a reader if you feel like an active holiday then you can look at the Wilderness Treks chapter or if you prefer the cultural experience of a local festival, then the Rare Festivals chapter may suit your interest.
