One of the strangest adventures I’ve ever been on was visiting a hotel with no electricity or cell service in the middle of the Bergslagen Forest in Sweden. A mere two hour drive or ride on public transportation will give you a once in a lifetime experience of sleeping in the Swedish wilderness surrounded by wolves, moose and capercaillie. The staff takes you on excursions to view wildlife and learn how to survive on the food and shelter resources around you. A unique and fulfilling outdoor experience!

China is the world’s most populous country and the second-largest country by land area. Learn more about the country as travelled by air, rail and bus through some of China’s major cities. On this adventure, I saw local sites such as the Great Wall, Terracotta Warriors, a panda breeding center, the Leshan Buddha, biked through karst mountains and hiked the Leaping Tiger Gorge.
