Do you get frustrated when you're on vacation and you can't make yourself understood? Or maybe you'd like to be appreciated by the locals and your family for making an effort? Maybe you don't want to come across as that guy who thinks everyone should speak English? I was that guy once. We went on vacation to Costa Rica, and in the more remote places we went, not a single person spoke English. I ended up miming things to bemused locals, or saying English words really slowly, and I felt really dumb. By the end of the trip, I vowed I wouldn't put myself in that situation again.

I started my backpacking days in my late 20s and have not stopped since. I still feel there are so many new places to discover, people to meet, new food to try. When I was a newbie traveler, I made many mistakes, forgot to take essential items, and just made some bad choices. Over the years, through experience and learning from others, I have learned what you need to do to travel as safely as possible, what essential items to take, how to take care of your health, and how to make the most of your trip.

If you're traveling to a Spanish speaking country but don't know how to express yourself in their language, then keep reading.... Many Spanish speaking people can't or are not willing to speak English. This causes a problem for foreign travelers who want to communicate and be understood by the native population. How many of these travelers miss out on remarkable experiences…without even realizing? Could you be one of them? You see, most travelers make the same mistakes - they aren't aware of any Spanish phrases.

Hi friends, my name is Glenda, and teaching foreign languages is my passion! There are a lot of different ways to learn a language—studying books, taking a class, or even watching foreign movies. But I’m an auditory learner. I have to hear and repeat the language to make it stick. In fact, when I was a teenager taking Spanish classes, I would often make my own (cassette) recordings and study for my tests by listening to them. All learning methods are valid! But there is only one you can so anytime and anywhere, and that’s what you’ll experience with this audiobook.

Have you ever had that deep desire to learn another language? Have you ever wanted to travel the globe, see amazing sights, and experience a new country like a local? Germany is an amazing place. Full of snowcapped maintains, untouched landscapes, historically significant cities, and some of the best food on the planet. But Germany is not an English-speaking country - which means, very simply, if you want to see everything that this wonderland has to offer, then you need to learn the language. Or at least learn enough of it to talk with the locals.

Spanish is more popular than ever before. Maybe because of the undeniable sex appeal of Latino legends such as Shakira and Pablo Alborán. Maybe because there are 21 Spanish speaking countries you might not want to miss out on. Charles the Fifth already once said if he were to speak to God, he would speak in the Spanish tongue. Whatever motivates you to learn the language of God, I promise you won't regret it.

The “mountain men” were the hunters and trappers who fiercely strode the Rocky Mountains in the early to mid-1800s. They braved the elements in search of the skins of beavers and other wild animals, to sell or barter for goods. The lifestyle of the mountain men could be harsh, existing as they did among animals, and spending most of their days and nights living and camping out in the great unexplored wilds of the Rockies.

Celebrity Charles James can't shake the nightmare that wakes him each night. He sees himself walking down a long, broken highway, the sides of which are lit in flames. Where is he going? Why is he walking? What is the wailing he hears around him? By day he wonders why he's so haunted and unhappy when he has all he ever wanted - fame, fans, and fortune and the lavish lifestyle it affords him. Coming from a childhood of poverty and pain, this is what he's dreamed of. But now, at the pinnacle of his career, he's started to wonder if he's wanted the wrong things.

The real stories behind the scenery of America’s national parks. For 12 years, Andrea Lankford lived in the biggest, most impressive national parks in the world, working a job she loved. She chaperoned baby sea turtles on their journey to sea. She pursued bad guys on her galloping patrol horse. She jumped into rescue helicopters bound for the heart of the Grand Canyon. She won arguments with bears. She slept with a few too many rattlesnakes. Hell yeah, it was the best job in the world! Fortunately, Andrea survived it.

Story4 out of 5 stars 310
The “mountain men” were the hunters and trappers who fiercely strode the Rocky Mountains in the early to mid-1800s. They braved the elements in search of the skins of beavers and other wild animals, to sell or barter for goods. The lifestyle of the mountain men could be harsh, existing as they did among animals, and spending most of their days and nights living and camping out in the great unexplored wilds of the Rockies.

When Edmund Hillary first conquered Mt. Everest, Sherpa Tenzing Norgay was at his side. Indeed, for as long as Westerners have been climbing the Himalaya, Sherpas have been the unsung heroes in the background. In August 2008, when eleven climbers lost their lives on K2, the world’s most dangerous peak, two Sherpas survived. They had emerged from poverty and political turmoil to become two of the most skillful mountaineers on earth. Based on unprecedented access and interviews, Buried in the Sky reveals their astonishing story for the first time.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 548
For 30 years, drummer, author, and songwriter Neil Peart had wanted to write a book about "the biggest journey of all in my restless existence: the life of a touring musician." Finally, the right time, and the right tour. In the summer of 2004, after three decades, 20 gold albums, and thousands of performances, the band Rush embarked on a 30th Anniversary World Tour. The "R30" tour traveled to nine countries, where the band performed 57 shows for more than half a million fans. Uniquely, Peart chose to do his between-show traveling by motorcycle, riding 21,000 miles of back roads.

Tired of the pace and noise of life near London and longing for a better place to raise their young children, Mary J. MacLeod and her husband, George, encountered their dream while vacationing on a remote island in the Scottish Hebrides. Enthralled by its windswept beauty, they soon were the proud and startled owners of a near-derelict croft house - a farmer’s stone cottage - on “a small acre” of land. Mary assumed duties as the island’s district nurse.
