According to our dictionary widget, an adventure is an exciting, typically hazardous experience or activity. That said, it seemed fitting to call our world travels something of an adventure, to say the least, and so begins The Missadventures.
Traveling, it enables one to escape from the day-to-day, but more importantly, to see the world from a different perspective and if you are lucky, you might just learn to love something you never imagined existed.
From climbing the Pyramids of Giza by moonlight to off road mopeding in Cappodocia, we’ve been fortunate to do and see things that many have only dreamed and the best part is that we experienced it together. We hope our travels will inspire you to create your own adventures. Read more
Kaila loves travelling in South East Asia, but she has found the travel guides she used were too generic – she writes
It was when I was at a travel gear store stocking up for my big Southeast Asia trip, and the informative (and slightly annoying) sales rep was trying to give me travel tips, that I noticed a problem. You don’t even need to take shampoo or conditioner! He exclaimed, as he held up the itsy bitsy holdall that he was sure could cater to all my toiletry needs. You can just use a body detergent to cleanse your hair, and you’re good to go, he explained. I stared at his shiny astro-turf-like hair, and imagined mine after washing it with body detergent, sans conditioner or blow dryer. There are just some things boys don’t understand.

nomadderwhere - is the name of lindsay clark’s blog – pretty cool name I think.
“I’m a recent graduate, an amateur traveler, and a nanny who lives in their parents’ basement…it can’t get much better than that. Oh, I certainly hope so, which is why I want to be the STA World Traveler Intern and transport the youth travel audience around the world via all forms of media. Why do I want to do this? Because education is everything.
Wanderlust and Lipstick is Beth Whitman’s travel blog and also the name of her book which is subtitled The Essential Guide for Women Travelling Solo.
Foreword Magazine (May/June, 2007)
Media images of vacations tend to depict happy couples hiking, swimming or biking with a scenic vista in the background. Some scenes sport children looking blissful or a rugged man tackling a mountain or hitting the ski slopes. Rarely are there images of women alone, navigating unfamiliar streets or eating solo at a sidewalk cafe. And that’s a shame, believes this author. More reviews of her book
Beth has heaps of tips for solo women travellers, and l blogs about her own travels around the world, often leading small groups. I notice she has led a recent trip to China with tea enthusiasts – one thing I never really got to do in China was the Tea Thing, I am sorry to have missed that.
Isn’t networking a fabulous thing. I was just reading the Journeywoman newsletter and followed a link to a local kiwi travel writer Heather Hapeta. I was intrigued by the name of her book – Naked in Budapest: travels with a passionate nomad.
One of my best friends has just started a travel writing and photography course. Travelling makes us wonder and ask questions of ourselves and the world around us, and sharing this with others is part of that journey for many of us.
