Traveling to Missouri
byLigia Andrade (Zuniga), M.A. Traveling alone to a destination you have never traveled to, knowing no one but one person, and they don’t even know you’re coming is pretty scary, right?

On Safari in a Wheelchair: Inclusive Tourism in KwaZulu Natal
Scott Rains, Rolling Rains Report srains@oco.net I travel a lot – more than most other quadriplegics that I know.

The San Gennaro Catacombs in Rome
In Rome, early Christians escaped persecution and buried their dead in catacombs. From the 18th century until the mid-twentieth century, tourists doing the “Grand Tour” of Europe escaped the heat of Roman summers in them.

Red Tiled Roofs – Travels Across The Adriatic
The narrow alleys twisted towards the depths of the town, catching glimpses of azure sea; I was struck by the human element. Unique arched doors, brightly painted shutters, balconies adorned with vibrantly colored flowers. Clean laundry strung out to dry from window to window. Continuing up cobblestone roads to the pinnacle of Rovinj; the view of the […]
