TraderDaily: Three-Dog Night in Norway

Posted by migrantblogger on September 22, 2008

My latest travel article has been posted to TraderDaily.com. If you have the cash (this one’s from Alexander & Kent, too), you can go dogsledding in northern Scandinavia for more than a week.

This is not a luxury experience, despite the exclusive pricing. The trek involves lots of camping and plenty of cold nights, but you’ll get the chance to experience something that others will only hear about … probably from you.

New Trader Travel Article: Adventure in South Africa

Posted by migrantblogger on September 16, 2008

Check out my latest travel article for TraderDaily.com. In “Air, Land and Water– Live Risk in All Elements,” you will live on the edge. Fly in a fighter jet, drive a Formula 1 race car and SCUBA dive with sharks. If you are rich and desperate for a thrill, this is where you’ll find it.

This is an Alexander & Kent Extreme Adventure trip, so it’s far from cheap. But, for those with the means, it should not be missed.

New Trader Travel Article: On the Edge in New Zealand

Posted by migrantblogger on September 8, 2008

Check out my latest article on TraderDaily.com– it covers the New Zealand “Adrenaline Adventure” from Alexander & Kent. This is one crazy experience, with hang gliding, bungie jumping and other stupidity.

Again, this is A&K, so you know it costs an absolute fortune. But, for those with no love of life and plenty of cash to fuel their demises, this gig would be absolutely ideal. I wish I’d been able to go on this one rather than write about it from the comfort of my desk … despite being deathly afraid of heights.

Eh, such is the writer’s poverty …

Kenya: Vacation + Rifle Support

Posted by migrantblogger on September 3, 2008

This was a fun excursion to cover for TraderDaily.com. While I wasn’t able to go– and wrote the articles from secondary materials and interviews– I did find the entire concept to be nothing short of fascinating. If you have the inclination (and the means) to go on this trip, I’d definitely suggest doing so. I sure as shit would.

The Kenya experience, which includes a rifle-toting guide to protect you from the wildlife, is one of many programs offered by A&K Extreme Adventures. These guys deliver thrills to the wealthy, quite simply. So, if you have one of those jobs where you have to work your ass off in exchange for fantastic pay, this is where you need to be.

Have the bucks to pull this off? Check out the whole experience at A&K Extreme Adventures, Kenya >>
