Travel is essentially about storytelling, about sharing what we discover of our global home. This blog is about just that — the unusual, the unique, the gems — from Tombée du Ciel, House Fallen from the Sky, to the ghost trees of India, to the Bolivian cemetery where trains are buried. There are countless stories, large and very small, that we come across as we travel the globe. It would be a shame to pass them by without notice.
