There are all kinds of solutions out there and they’ll all pay for themselves eventually, if you need an economic argument to add to the moral one. This month you could even score a really nice one for free. One lucky PT subscriber will score a $99 LifeSaver Liberty pump purifier and bottle that can be used with a hotel tap or a mountain stream. It filters out anything that could make you sick and keeps you hydrated on the move.

Bruce Northam covers an activity that many do, but few write about: getting haircuts in barbershops around the world. This is a subject I’ve touched on before, but he takes it way further with selfies from the barber’s chair in a multitude of places and a reminder that these gathering centers can be one of the best places to dive into local culture. See his Barbershop Postcards story here.

Before I get into what’s in store though, I’ve got an announcement. In a couple weeks I’ll be heading to Los Angeles to accept two Gold awards at a banquet sponsored by the North American Travel Journalists Association. Two stories of mine that were published in Perceptive Travel last year pulled in “best travel writing of the year” prizes. Beyond the Bullet Holes in Bosnia and Herzegovina won in the Historical Travel category. I was quite proud of that one, so I’m glad to see it get some recognition. Then I came out on top in the Sports and Adventure Travel category with An Overdose of Adrenaline in the Copper Canyons of Mexico. (I also got an honorable mention in the Hotels & Resorts category with this review of Kilkea Castle in Ireland.)

Lonely Planet guidebook editor and author Megan Eaves wrote about teaching in China long ago in Perceptive Travel, but this time she gets contemplative while walking in the fields and forests where poets walked long ago. See Footsteps of Frost: The Poet’s Path in England.

After taking a break from new material last month in Perceptive Travel and doing a Dark Tourism issue, we’re back to our usual monthly online magazine schedule. This time we have four new narrative travel stories from wandering book authors and reviews of three books that came out recently.

Sometimes we end up with a theme running through a few different stories, purely by happenstance. This month we’ve got three travelers’ tales about the power of nature to soothe, heal, inspire, and hone your senses. Then one about the unexpected side results of a travel quest.
