JOUR 1. 30 juillet 2018. Moscou. Je rejoins les quais nocturnes de la gare Jaroslaw, mon sac à dos bien accroché et mon enregistreur à la main. Direction la Mongolie. C’est l’heure, il est minuit, comme dans les contes. Il y a deux ans à Paris, j’ai rencontré un Böö, un chamane Mongol. Il m’a donné un conseil : « Écoute le son du vent. Va au contact de la nature et laisse-la te soigner. Il te faut retrouver la Terre Mère. » Aujourd'hui, je pars en quête de son et de sens. » C'est le début du carnet de voyage sonore de Vincent Guiot.

The second-largest country in South America, Argentina has been through great changes in recent years. Its journey from dictatorship to democracy has left many scars, but these are largely eclipsed by the pride and resilience of the Argentinian people, who have developed a style, a language, and a joie de vivre that are all their own. Embracing much more than gaucho, tango, and soccer, Argentina is very unlike its neighbors. And, due to the unique way in which it evolved, is quite different from the expectations many visitors have of a stereotypical Latin American destination.

The largest and most populous Central American country, Guatemala is a land of contrasts and contradictions. It offers great physical beauty alongside ancient Mayan ruins and a conglomeration of diverse peoples and cultures. It is also unique in Central America in that more than half its population is of Mayan Indian origin. Today the country reflects a combination of ancient Mayan heritage, Spanish colonialism, and modern Western influences, mainly from the United States.

Travelling through every state in the USA is something few people will ever achieve, even those residing in that country, and certainly not in the style of Mavis Gore and her husband Jeff. After Jeff had a quadruple heart bypass, following which most would succumb to a peaceful early retirement, the couple instead decided to repeat a journey across Canada which they had taken in the early years of their marriage; but this time in a hired motor-home. However, they had not anticipated the return trip through the northern states of the USA would start them on a seven-year exploration of all ...

The allure of living in a tropical country referred to as the last undiscovered Paradise is enticing, intoxicating, and seductive.

It is only after someone moves to Paradise that they discover the dirty secrets: corrupt bureaucracy, endemic crime, and a cast of oddball characters who could be rejects from a Fellini movie. The CIA recruits Maya Warwick to become the editor of a glossy lifestyle magazine. Her primary function is to infiltrate the expat community to root out certain fugitives.

This is an extensive diary of my time in Costa Rica from January to May 2001, sandwiched between two more recent reflective entries. I recommend listening to this if you are interested in exploring Costa Rica, in what Monteverde, Costa Rica, was like in this particular time period before much of the modern development, or if you are interested in hearing a firsthand account of a young woman with bipolar disorder in between severe swings and culture shock.

Die Geschichte einer abenteuerlichen Reise kreuz und quer über den südamerikanischen Kontinent. In einem 4x4-Van, den wir unbesehen online gekauft und in Buenos Aires übernommen haben. Der Plan? Es gab keinen. Die Sümpfe im Norden Argentiniens, baden im Atlantik und Pazifik, die Atacama Wüste in Chile, die Pinguine auf der Peninsula Valdes und das Ende der Welt in Tierre del Fuego, Feuerland. Das alles haben wir gemacht und noch viel mehr erlebt. Zwar klappte nicht alles und manchmal auch das Auto zusammen, aber es wurde eine unvergessliche Reise mit Sehnsuchtspotenzial.

Laura Pariani è andata per la prima volta a 15 anni in Argentina e in Patagonia, in un viaggio folgorante alla ricerca di un nonno che si era trasferito là. Su questo palinsesto i ritorni si sono accumulati come fonte inesauribile di scoperte di sé e della vita. Nella sua Patagonia il paesaggio del Fin del Mundo è segnato dalle ferite immedicabili dello sterminio indio. C'è uno spaesante contrasto tra la "discrezione dei manufatti umani", spesso definiti "arrugginiti", e la "densa vitalità" della natura.
