I asked Marco Polo how he spent those long years without a family or wife. He said ‘when a woman's husband leaves her to go on a journey of infinite time, as soon as he has left, she takes another husband, and this she is fully entitled to do by local usage. And the men, wherever they go, take wives in the same way’ .Dead man, you know then he laughed and I made my answer in my mind.

This is the home to millions of wildebeests... each one driven by the same ancient culture of annual migration from Tanzania to Kenya via the seasonal Mara river., fulfilling its instinctive role in the inescapable cycle of life: a frenzied three-week bout of territorial conquests and mating; survival of the fittest as 40km (25 mile) long columns plunge through…

One of the great things about living in Miami is its unrivalled mix of Latin cultures, and Brazilians play a big part in that. One thing that especially stands out is that it…

Politically, the Tuva…

When the Belize Tourst Board offered me a press trip to Belize. I jumped at the opportunity. When they told me that upon arrival I would be whisked off to the Belize Zoo, I was skeptical if this first stop would be worth a visit. My feeling is that zoos are mostly depressing places. I figured that there would be imported Lions, Tigers, and Giraffes. I could not have been more wrong.…
