Hello fellow traveller, It’s Abi from Bradt and let's get started! If an email each week seems like too much, then you can always switch to monthly by clicking right here (you will know we've registered your preference because you'll land on a lucky dip travel article. No further action required.) Last week, I wrote from the snow-flecked Arctic Circle. This week, I’m surrounded by the sticky, sweltering greens of a hillside jungle in Thailand. But never fear, by next week, I’ll be back in the UK, desk shaped at a coffee shop, wondering when my FitBit will stop beeping at me for inactivity. But whether you’re on the road or staying at home, it’s always the right time to read about the world. First, you can check out our entire travel narrative range, with titles that range from A Connemara Journey to A Tourist in the Arab Spring. Second, did you know that we have a Bradt blog? You'll find hundreds of articles there, covering everything from the magical Himalayan caterpillar-fungus to the best green things to do in Tallinn and the best places to see whales in Britain. And is there something you want to see that you can't find? Hit reply and let us know. We love working on new ideas. See you again next week when we build on our summer reading list. Cheers, Abi Focus: Rwanda When it comes to travel to Rwanda, most people think of gorillas. But there is so much more to the country than that. Here’s an inside guide to the more unusual things to do in Rwanda from those who live and work there. Seeking unusual travel experiences often means that you’ll be travelling to places less spoiled by tourism. We all want to preserve those experiences for future generations of travellers, and that’s why engaging in sustainable tourism is so important. That’s why we’re happy to be sponsored by Laba Africa Expeditions for this article. Laba Africa specialises in individual active, adventure, and volunteer trips all over Africa – including Rwanda. Its team of expert guides pride themselves on sustainable travel initiatives, including its Sustainable Safaris Itineraries and Tree Mapping programme.
