Embark on a journey with me, Mark Faldmo, as I reveal how travel can transform your view of the world by stepping off the beaten path. What if your next adventure took you to places you've never even considered, like the culturally rich Novi Sad in Serbia or the serene fjords of Montenegro? Discover how these less-traveled destinations can offer a profound experience far removed from the crowds of Paris and London. I’ll share my unique voyage aboard the Aranui, where the fusion of a cruise and cargo ship provided an eye-opening adventure through the Marquesas Islands, offering an authentic taste of French Polynesia’s untouched beauty.

But the adventure doesn't stop there. Venture with me to the enchanting islands of the South Pacific, where the cultural richness of traditional Polynesian life promises unforgettable memories. We’ll also explore Panama's vibrant blend of history and modern charm, from the iconic Panama Canal to indigenous villages, and I'll give you the inside scoop on the best places to stay. Feel the wind in the sails aboard the Star Clippers, where the atmosphere is more akin to a close-knit family gathering than a typical cruise, redefining the way we connect with fellow travelers and the world around us. Join me for an inspiring journey that challenges the norm and reveals the hidden gems waiting to be discovered.
