Before or after 40, never stop having an adventure list.

The thing to know about flotilla yachting is that it really has nothing to do with “destination traveling”. It is not about the destination. YachtLegend happens to be in the Med, but it could be anywhere, even Lake Michigan in the summer. The magic of this kind of travel is that sense of being a *part* of something new — and that’s something you can only do with a gaggle of other people. It takes a brave soul to open themselves up to new places, but an even braver one to open themselves up to new people. It’s a leap of adventure unlike any other! That’s the ultimate kind of travel!

That sounds awesome! The med, however, I don’t know about that. We are planning sometime in the future to take a 190 mile trek in Nepal to visit monasteries.

Not so.

In West Africa, I was jostled to the point of no return by potholes the size of hot tubs. At the DMZ, the descent into the tunnel was ok, but the ascent back out was a true test of lung capacity. And on flotilla yachting weeks, tacking takes a fair amount of body strength! (and the whole week takes a fair amount of good balance!) Thanks for your comments.

You raise good points. I’ll think about how to answer those questions via follow-up posts. Happy to share knowledge with kindred travel spirits. Cheers.

I am the kind of traveler who likes to explore by foot, bicycle or public transportation. At the end of the day, I am dead tired and have to admit it is sometimes hard to wake up early the next day. However, the excitement of discovering new places helps me to keep up. Even though not everybody follows my travel style, I believe most aspects of travel requires some sort of endurance (and good health). Things are going to get more complicated with age so it is better to start traveling young and stay fit so you can continue enjoying as time passes. So, agree with the article. Try to visit those physically challenging places sooner than latter.

The beginning paragraph also resonates very strongly.

It would be great if you could extend the article by offering ideas of how to do it. For example, you say to take a guided tour through West Africa but don’t mention where or how to find a (safe) guide driver / vehicle. Equally, how do you get into North Korea? I’m assuming you would need some sort of native guide?
