- Facing a Bone Crusher on Prince Edward Island
Lobsters are like prehistoric aliens with giant claws capable of crushing a man’s gonads to dust. They’re also delicious, which is why I set out one morning to pull in 300 lobster traps and stand knee deep in fish guts.
- Flying Doctors and the Migration of the Wildebeest
This week in East Africa, I discover two sides to a coin. The luxury, beauty and exotic wildlife of the ultimate safari, complete with butlers, five-star tents, and the migration of the wildebeest. In Nairobi, a different story, as I take to the air with the Flying Doctors, participating in a medical evacuation, and seeing the human cost of violence. This is Africa, and there is nowhere else like it.
- Heat, Dust and Dirt Bikes in Egypt
The traffic, chaos and 3000 years of bureaucracy take their toll, but I manage to Belly Dance over the Nile anyway. After clocking in at the pyramids, it’s off to the Sinai to rock the desert by ATV, dirt bike and dune buggy. Egypt has stayed much the same since my last visit 16 years ago. I haven’t.
