		<title>Make &#8220;first contact&#8221; with an undiscovered tribe</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Survival International, the movement for tribal people estimates that there are still around 40,000 people in some 100 tribes around the world that have had at most limited contact with &#8216;civilisation&#8217; (lucky them!).
The Brazilian government department for Indian affairs, FUNAI, estimates that there are up to 70 tribes that have had limited contact in its [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Great Unmapped Desert</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Due to massive irrigation to feed Soviet era cotton fields, the Aral Sea (in fact a lake) in Uzbekistan has reduced from nearly 70,000 square kilometres 40 years ago to under 20,000 square kilometres now.
This leaves vast tracts of desert that are mostly uncharted and unexplored &#8230;
Get out there and explore!

		<title>Global Warming and its threat to packing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Never wanting to be one to be unprepared when I travel, I always like to know what the weather is likely to be at any new destination. So prior to setting off for Prague in the Czech Republic last week I checked the weather data on WhereWhenWhy. Seven degrees celsius average temperature in April sounded [...]]]></description>

		<title>travellers tales  ~ sources of travel inspiration #2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As has happened since we first staggered out of our caves, people love to tell others their (often tall) tales of the adventures they&#8217;ve had on their travels. We love to listen and share, placing ourselves in their shoes, following in their footsteps, wondering what we would have said / done / felt in the [...]]]></description>

		<title>grief tourism</title>
		<description><![CDATA[An intriguing site that has come to my attention lately is grief-tourism.com a site that has dark tourism, battlefield tourism and dead celebrity tourism as it&#8217;s central themes.
It&#8217;s all about tourism to the sites of tragedy and evil &#8212; Ground Zero, Holocaust sites like Auschwitz and infamous places such as Strawberry Fields &#038; the Dakota [...]]]></description>

		<title>travellers woes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I must admit that travel no longer holds the appeal for me that it did. Perhaps Osama can add me to his count of the victims of global terrorism?
In truth, it&#8217;s not the risk that may be present in other countries that puts me off travelling (I think I&#8217;m probably at greater risk at home [...]]]></description>

		<title>take 2 ~ Some hand luggage sense at last?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Back in September, I speculated, Some hand luggage sense at last? when the restrictions on what can be carried as hand luggage started to be eased. 
Now I read on http://www.wherewhenwhy.eu/ that liquids are to be allowed on flights - seems sensible, but on reading further, this is to be limited to&#8230;
100ml containers carried in [...]]]></description>

		<title>writeabout.us</title>
		<description><![CDATA[writeabout.us is a site that has one of those &#8216;ah, wish I&#8217;d thought of that&#8217; ideas going on.
Basically, you write about them on your site (like this) and in return get a link from their site to yours&#8230;a million dollar, travel pixel, home page mashup type scenario&#8230;
So this is me writing about them&#8230;and now you [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tourism hooliganism?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[An article on the BBC news this morning gave me pause to think. It was regarding the threat of mass tourism to the fragile ecology of the Galapagos Islands (off the coast of Ecuador for the initiated.)
Basically, cruise ships have begun to visit the waters around the islands and those concerned with protecting them are [...]]]></description>

		<title>childhood dreams ~ sources of travel inspiration #1</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We all have dreams in childhood, dreams of adventure in far flung places. So use those dreams when looking for inspiration for your next journey&#8230;
Having played the Emperor of Kyoto  in a school play, dressed in a kimono (is that what Japanese men wear?) with fan in hand, Japan and the orient have always [...]]]></description>
