Wilderness camping in the Boundary Waters (one of Nat Geo’Traveler’s “50 places of a Lifetime”).

Navigating unfamiliar waters is tricky.


A seasoned travel knows the importance of homework.

Much of the information compiled on this web site is built toward answering questions like what to see, what to wear, what to pack. The standard printed guides or ebooks are also helpful in this respect (e.g., Fodor’s, Blue Guide, Lonely Planet, Bradt, etc.).

Information collected under this tab is channeled in a different direction: toward the preparation of heart and mind. Apart from reviews of shoes and socks, what other sort of homework might be done in advance of travel (or in the wake of travel)?

Three collections follow.

The first offers helpful links to other responsible websites.

The second gives connection to auxiliary materials produced for the college classroom.

The third lists books (and ebooks) worth finding and reading.
