Two Wonderful Articles on GoNomad: Antarctica and Israel

I read a very inspiring article by Chole Jon Paul on Gonomad. She writes "

“After life in the vastness of a vacant continent, civilization seemed disappointingly narrow, cramped, superficial, and empty.”

- Frank Hurley, photographer on Sir Ernest Shackleton’s ship Endeavor

Those words certainly ring true for me. As an older woman traveling alone to such a distant place, I knew that I would have to start planning well in advance and explore all my options before booking passage.

And where did she go? She went to Antarctica! Now that is something!

Also, I read a lot of Gonomad blog (naturally as my blog is also hosted by them) more so when the good folks started providing the update status from the main GoNomad page.

I have been reading Be Our Guest by Kent E. St. John and I was so surprised to see that he was a guest of the president of Israel (though now in news for all the wrong reasons). He has an interesting account of his trip to Israel.

Ahh! When will December come? Only then I get to travel once again.
