My 10 Favourite Cities
I’ve got “top ten” lists on the brain these days…
I thought it’d be fun to dredge through the foggy corners of my memory, brush aside the cobwebs, and post a list of my top 10 favourite cities, taken from 25 years of travel.
Number One aside, I didn’t post this list in any particular order. Each place is unique and has some individual character that can’t be compared with the others. But a list of ten has gotta have numbers. The arrangement is purely arbitrary.
Under Prehistoric Skies
I was digging through my files the other day, looking for the seeds of a new blog story, when I came across my first magazine assignment.
I had just sold a major feature to Outpost on an expedition I’d done in the Taklamakan Desert. The story was getting good feedback, and when an opening came they asked me to travel on assignment to South Dakota with photographer Jason George. I was given complete freedom to come up with my story angle, and I worked with our contacts on the ground to arrange the trip.
