“Travel and travellers are two things I loathe — and yet here I am..." -- Claude Lévi Strauss (1955)

The paradox of travel explored brilliantly.

On the visual — and psychological — contradictions of pictures from the road.

Sometimes you forget that the chaos of civilisation isn't everything, or everywhere.

Here's a beautiful reminder:

"It's a particularly odd thing to contemplate at a time when environmental concerns have never been greater. In the cockpit, at night, up-shining cities are among my favorite sights. But over most of the world, sailing under the dome of stars, we see only the occasional light below us, if we see any at all."

When I started flying long routes regularly, my intuitive sense of the planet changed completely.

"Before I went to see him, I knew I loved getting wet.

I knew I loved going deep and I knew the deeper I went, the better it felt.

To get there though, I needed to suck… suck… and blow."

Actually, no, this isn't what you think it is... as Khai says, it's much, much better!

This is something most of us have never tried. And those that have, never stop raving about it. What is it?

When I swiped right on Kevin Henry two years ago, little did I know how much that one match amidst the thousands of random faces would change my life.

Is that a ship? A sub?

NON! It's a CHURCH!

Straight up, Norway has some of the weirdest holy sites, like this one-- a Cathedral designed in honour of the northern lights.

DID YOU KNOW: The most northern Church in the world is located on a Norwegian Archipelago really, really far away from anything. Why go there? Well, according to a certain Stewart on TripAdvisor, they have "nice coffee and crackers for guests". Anything to get people up there, really.

They say that taxi drivers are the ambassadors of cities. They are often a traveller's first human connection in a foreign land. And if you actually take the time to listen to them they'll teach you more about your destination than any guidebook.

Well, we may have just found THE best ambassador of all the cities in the world-- nay, galaxies.

Everyone, meet the amazing Mr. Devan Taxi from Kuala Lumpur!

His dream? For the government to recognise him as the no.1 taxi driver and call him on his birthday, Dec. 14. We will be crossing our fingers and toes for you, brother!


(p.s. If you happen to pass through Malaysia's capital city make sure to look him up on fcbk Taxi for the guaranteed ride of your life... or at least a freaking good smile and conversation)
