Hailing from Colorado, Matt attended school in Connecticut and graduate school in Pennsylvania. He now calls Brooklyn, New York, home. Beside running TheExpeditioner.com and traveling as often as possible, Matt spends his time putting together books like this one, watching nature documentaries and foreign films on Netflix, and sleeping. Usually in that order. Luke Maguire Armstrong set off hitchhiking after college from Chile to Alaska. He made it as far as Guatemala where he directs the educational development organization Nuestros Ahijados in a mission to “break the chains of poverty through education and formation.” His is the author of iPoems for the Dolphins to Click Home About and is in the process of finding a publisher for his first novel, How One Guitar Will Save the World. Jon Wick was pulled by the education universe from his home in Wisconsin to Iowa, Alaska, and finally into an elementary position in Montana. He entered the realm of travel writing while on sabbatical teaching English in Korea. You can find Jon at TheExpeditioner.com as the Managing Editor and in-house bike mechanic, authoring the series of QWick Guides for Montana trails, and pursuing his Master’s Degree in Technical Communication at Montana Tech. i ii DISCOVER THE WORLD This book begins with general information about getting started on your trip, then launches into strategically ordered chapters divided by groups of pieces that have a common theme. This was the result of the Editors (Matt Stabile, Luke Maguire Armstrong, and Jon Wick) realizing, late one night, that doing so would probably be a good idea. The tabs on the side of the book should help you navigate, or completely confuse you. COVERAGE LAYOUT We begin with pieces that may be helpful to you before your trip, like how not to get kicked out of a hostel, the benefits of smuggling contraband into foreign countries, and why you should always listen to your taxi driver in Delhi for advice on accommodations. We then head out into the world, making our way through the happier parts of travel, like finding love (even if it’s fake) on the road, and getting the best haircut on the Korean Peninsula this side of the DMZ. From there we head off the beaten path and explore the lesser discussed parts of travel, like getting assaulted by taxi drivers and catching near fatal diseases in sub- tropical countries. We end our coverage by looking back at all we learned during our trip, like why glaciers are great places to make friends, and how disco music is universally accepted as the music of the devil. TRANSPORTATION INFO Transportation can be a little tricky in the world. Be prepared for massive landslides, highly turbulent airplanes, and introspective train rides through former Soviet states. Also, always remember to iii bring loose change. WHEN TO GO Anytime, really, is a good time to travel. However, certain times are optimal. For example, try visiting politically unstable nations during their election season, countries in need of ESL teachers when you don’t want to get a real job at home, and frigid Nordic countries during Spring Break. Not doing so will result in you having very uninteresting stories when you return. WHAT TO EAT The world has a rich culinary history, and there is no shortage of options of foods to try, but we recommend the following: poison fish on remote islands that will assuredly find you everlasting love, and fresh pineapple in Kenya that will help you make friends. And if you travel to Indonesia, you must try at least eight varieties of coffee, or you may as well not even bother visiting. WHAT TO DO The world offers activities for travelers with all types of interests, including those looking to improve their fashion sense in France, to those looking to say goodbye to their grandmother in Cuba. However, whatever you do, don’t miss out on hiking questionably safe trails in Colombia, visiting what is widely regarded as the most dangerous place on Earth, or exploring one of the world’s most crowded cities in an effort to find some peace. There are also some quaint villages with breathtaking views to explore that will make for some great subjects to write about upon your return. INTERNET RESOURCES There are many travel web sites we recommend, many of which we’ve plundered (mostly with permission) for both articles and iv authors to fill this offline collection of travel pieces printed on dead trees called a “book.” Some of our favorites include World Hum (WorldHum.com), BootsnAll (BootsnAll.com), Matador Network (MatadorNetwork.com), and, of course, our own The Expeditioner (TheExpeditioner.com), without whose moral support, staff, resources, and questionable legitimacy, this book would not have been possible. v THE EXPEDITIONER’S GUIDE TO THE WORLD STORY Since its founding in 2008 by Matt Stabile, The Expeditioner has grown to become one of the leading online travel magazines for the independent, active traveler. Featuring original content from the best up-and-coming and established travel writers in the field, The Expeditioner is also home to the writings of contributing editors Jon Wick, Luke Maguire Armstrong, Brit Weaver, and Maria Russo. After some serious head scratching, doomed Skype conferences, and late-night emails, early in 2010, we here at The Expeditioner decided to do what any good online publication does after a period of time: revert to print and publish our very own book. Our goal was simple and purposely broad: to produce a creative, offbeat, edgy group of travel pieces that stands out from the run-of-the-mill travel anthology (no offense to run-of- the-mill travel anthology publishers). If you would like to be considered for publication in next year’s edition, we will be accepting submissions in all formats (long articles, short articles, poems, haikus).

  • Faith, We Strive to Love Our Neighbor and Uphold the Innate Human Dignity of Each Person
    Dear President Trump, As Americans and people of faith, we strive to love our neighbor and uphold the innate human dignity of each person. We are thus gravely concerned about the recent letter from Republican officials from ten states calling for your administration to rescind Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). The brave, hard-working DACA recipients and DACA-eligible individuals embody our country at its best. Rescinding DACA is an appalling rejection of our faith and our nation’s values of compassion and welcome. Together, we call on Secretary of Homeland Security John Kelly and Attorney General Jeff Sessions to keep the DACA program intact for the remainder of your presidency. We must live up to our nation’s proclaimed values of hospitality and opportunity for those seeking a better life. The DACA program grants a work permit and protects young immigrants from deportation. As a result, many lives have been changed for the better. Eight hundred thousand young people have received protection. Of those, 48% have found jobs with better working conditions, 63% have obtained better paying jobs, 90% have received a driver’s license or state ID, and 12% have been able to buy a home for their families. DACA has allowed the courageous young people known as Dreamers to build a brighter future for our nation. They are mothers, fathers, teachers, nurses, lawyers, scientists and leaders of a new generation of Americans. The repeal of DACA would end the American dreams of thousands of immigrant youth who worship in our pews, study in our schools and work in our communities -- and it would devastate their families.

  • 86 Afar.Com October 2012 Prague Is Europe's Next Great Food Destination
    The New Bohemia 86 AFar.Com ocTober 2012 PRAGUE IS EUROPE'S NEXT GREAT FOOD DESTINATION. DAVID FARLEY EATS IN THE CITY’S MOST INNOVATIVE RESTAURANTS AND TALKS TO THE MAVERICK CHEFS WHO ARE DEFINING MODERN CZECH CUISINE. PHOTOGRAPHS BY JOÃO CANZIANI fifteen years ago, you never would have heard the words “celebrity” and “chef” uttered in succession in a discussion of Czech Cuisine. hen i lived in prague for three years in the mid-1990s, it was a golden age of sorts for the Czech capital, at least if you were one of the expat writers and artists who flocked to the city for its beauty, affordability, and general anything-goes vibe. I spent my days teaching English and my evenings consuming a local product the Czechs have always made well: beer. When W I stumbled out of a pub, I would traipse down winding cobblestone streets flanked by plus-size Baroque churches, burgher houses dating from Habsburg times, and the occasional socialist realist sculpture of brawny workers looking to the horizon with optimism. With my stomach rumbling for something to absorb all that hoppy liquid, I would go in search of food. More often than not, I ended up staring at a barely edible pizza, squiggly red lines of ketchup spat atop heat lamp–baked cheese on a crust resembling cardboard. If, as historians are wont to say, the past is a different country, the Prague I knew back then seems, in retrospect, like Siberia. The Soviet monuments and debauchery-seeking expats are long gone, and now one can say it’s the locals themselves who are experiencing something of a golden age.

When we first began working with the 380 cooperative members, they — like many coffee farmers in El Salvador — were cultivating beans beneath tropical trees that provide some of the last refuge for wildlife in this tiny Central American republic. But some five years ago, as the price for coffee fell around the world, forcing many small farmers to abandon their holdings, the Las Lajas cooperative sought Rainforest Alliance certification in the hopes that the certified seal would enable them to sell their coffee at a premium. The farmers stopped using dangerous pesticides, started soil conservation and recycling programs, upgraded housing, instituted regular training programs, improved the school and health clinic, planted thousands of seedlings, and in the spring of 2000, were awarded the Rainforest Alliance seal of certification. Not only did the changes required by our certification standards make the Las Lajas farm- land more sustainable, improve life for workers The mission of the and their families, and enable them to sell their beans at a premium, but their new status piqued Rainforest Alliance the interest of Kraft, which in 2003 began buying high quality beans from the cooperative.

  • T Wef Ve Generations of Farfeys
    T wefve Generations of Farfeys by Jesse Kelso Farley,Junior Privately Printed Evanston, f flinois, 1943 Press ofAlbin 0. Horn Company . Chicaso TWELVE GENERATIONS OF FARLEYS To E. TF PREFACE A DESIRE, to learn the historical past of his immediate antecedents, prompted the writer, in 1916, to delve into the lines and deeds of the early Farleys in America, by ascertaining the identity of the grandpar­ ents of Jesse Preston Farley of Dubuque, Iowa. Apparently little or no information was then available. No other member of the family had ever tried to record facts,_ or to uncover them from sources that might have been available. The J. P. Farley fam­ ily Bible, dated December 25, 1855, which Twelve Generations of Farleys still remains in the family, was the only written record. Other material consisted only of such scraps of family tradition as were remembered by his children and grand­ children. Appeals were made to a nephew and niece of J. P. Farley, John S. Smead of Epworth, Iowa, and Cornelia Smead (Mrs. John V.) Rider of California, and to his sons, Edwin B. Farley of Pasadena, California, and Jesse Kelso Farley of Chicago, Illinois. These requests yielded a portion of the material that appears in the second section of this biography. Thanks must be given to them, to their families, and to other relatives who were burdened with confused correspond­ ence and questions. Slowly, piece by piece, the Virginia history, and its sequences in Tennessee, Illinois and Iowa, were gathered and placed together. The material on the Virginia Farleys was obtained in many ways.
