On this intense trek, you will climb three of Armenia's lesser known mountains: Aramazd, Sandukht and Sartsapat. You will explore corners of Dilijan national park and Lastiver plateau that can only be accessed by foot or 4WD. Eagles soaring above your head, hottest and coldest lakes of the Armenian highland, hamlets perched on the edge of cliffs, all this creates an experience of Armenia for the very adventurous.

Hi guys,
I am looking at a project of Paddling 50-100km/day on a SUP for approx.2 months in Europe. I have a ground crew but I will be in the water solo, I am still nutting out the mapping/logistics. I was hoping to get some professionals advice on training and nutrient. I am currently in Australia but will be situated in Europe as of September 15, with the project to start in May 16.
If you have any advice or contacts that could help me with this and any other aspects you can think of please don't hesitate to contact me...every little bit helps.
Keeping things low key at the moment due to the association of charities and potential sponsors.
Thank you,
Mark

My name is Cassie De Pecol and I am a 26 year old female adventurer from Washington, Connecticut. I spent my early years involved in Montessori, Waldorf, Public and Home Schooling before enrolling in 5 universities spanning across two countries and five states for 3 1/2 years before deciding to travel the world indefinitely. On July 24th, 2015, I departed on an international expedition for World Peace and Sustainability as I attempt to break aGuinness World Record for being the Fastest Person to Travel to All Sovereign Nations as well as the first documented female. I am meeting with Ministers of Tourism, Skal members (skal.org)as well as Mayors of Towns, Cities and Villages in each of the Sovereign Nations as I present to them a Declaration of Peace. In February of 2015, I spoke at the IIPT World Symposium held in Johannesburg, South Africa and it is here that I will be honoured as the IIPT Ambassador for Peace. I also attended the World Travel and Tourism Summit in Madrid, Spain in April of 2015 and was honored to meet the King of Spain, Felipe VI. I am not travelling as an American, but as a Global Citizen.Throughout my expedition I will be filming to create an educational documentary that will ideally be used as a toolkit in High Schools and Universities across the globe, showcasing Global Peace, what it means to both children and citizens of the Millennial Generation and how they can go about creating a more unified world.

Im walking the last 2 degrees of the Earth (222km) completely unsupported with just one other man, Conrad Dickinson. This comes after being diagnosed and treated for bowel, prostate and skin cancers (all unrelated)...its a celebration of my recovery and a way to get my message of the importance of early diagnosis out!
I am planning to walk hadrians wall within the next couple of weeks. Ideally I would like to carry all food and wild camp along the way.Nothing has been planned yet, but it is quite a simple trip, that doesn't require much more than turning up with the right kit. We can work out the route at the start. I will be taking one or two sets of clothes, warm gear, sleeping bag, tent / bivvy bag, food, small stove,a head torch, a toothbrush and a water bottle.
I will be doing it on my own anyway, but if anyone would like to join, it would be great to have some company!I am notoriously bad at planning, but get in touch via email... ollie.shurville@gmail.com and we can come up with a start date and position. I look forward to meeting some of you guys!

The plan is to cross the nation this coming summer 2015, travelling and working on the ground with other teenage writers/photographers/filmmakers/good travel partners to capture the american teenage experience across regional and socioeconomic borders. The goal is to see what, if anything, we have in common, and get more teenagers interested in national and international affairs. Ted Simon had a more succinct assessment, I assume your purpose it to get young people off their asses and into the game. Right - O.
I'm currently looking for other teenagers who'd be interested in being a travel partner for the trip or a leg of it, or working with us on the ground. If you are one, or know one, we'd love to hear from you. I'm also looking for potential backers of the project. Not necessarily monetarily,but by adding a name to it, and acting as a reference to our (mostly) good character. Partnering with the project would be a great for small, start up-y adventure companies to get some exposure, and make the project more legit. Once again, if you are part of or know of any organisations that might be interested, wed love to hear from you. Lastly, if anyone knows anybody at Amtrak or others involved with trains in the U.S, that'd be much appreciated. Travelling across the country by rail poses challenges in the U.S, but I think it also gives a unique perspective. If all else fails, the car remains an open option. Thanks, and cheers to the new year,Will Friend
I am planning a trip to visit friends in/around Bangkok for two weeksin the period between 15th January and 24th February.HOWEVER, would love to explore the untouched/less-touched spots in the far southern stretch of Thailand and Myanmar.Looking for a buddy to do this latter part with -for the purposes of safety and extra fun.
It is known as Europes last wilderness. This route hikes through spectacular mountains and valleys and from the 1800s become known as the king of trails The Kings Trail. During the summer season, it is essentially daylight all day and north of the Arctic Circle, the midnight sun shines brightly for several months.
A planned solo expedition to cross Mongolia. On horseback. Yes, that's right. Two horses actually. With the world in a seemingly endless rush to get its hands on a Black Friday Asda telly, what better time to embark on a nostalgic adventure harking back to the good old days of equine exploration. Forget doing it fast or furthest. Just enjoy doing it.
Ever since I could speak, I spoke of horses. Now I have the time and energy to do something few people would think of, or it turns out, care to do. Ride across Mongolia and visit one of the last Nomadic horse cultures left. Really visit. Learn what it means to live or die by your horsemanship.Kindly recognised by The Long Riders Guild and with their huge wealth of knowledge and expertise in equine based exploration as a resource, I have put the plans in place for a three month Expedition across the Steppe.
Tough logistically and physically, the romantic notions of riding off into the sunset were something I was keen to avoid. Long riders are a tough breed but never have I come across a group of people more willing to impart knowledge, often hard fought on the trail, then these quiet heroes. If you haven't read Tim Copes new book On the Trail of Genghis Khan, you should. In it he details his odyssey across Mongolia to the shores of the Danube. Some 10,000km away in Hungary. It took him three and a half years. He had never ridden a horse before.Expeditions are often arduous and difficult, perhaps more so when the typical hierarchy of needs such as a warm place to sleep for the night, are superseded by thoughts for your horses well being.
This is the Long Riders code. The journey, not for glory or recognition, but more as a sharing experience between two different species. To me, the very essence of adventure.If you are in Mongolia next year, drop me a line. If you fancy hearing how I got on, drop me a line. If you ever dreamed of riding across the Steppe, drop me a line.Good luck with all the other adventures going on out there, there are still many more to be found.Jack
