Wine Dine & Travel Spring 2014

Joy, wonder, fear, confusion, anger, disgust, amusement, and curiosity – all are among the emotions travelers experience at one time or another. By definition, travel forces us out of routines and comfort zones. Strange cultures, customs, languages, foods, and situations contribute to our unease – and excitement. That’s why travel is an adventure, challenging the mind, exercising the body, and stimulating the soul. We feel vividly alive and part of something much larger and complex. This issue features stories that illustrate that range of emotions. From death on the Ganges River to the joy of renewal in Utah, the stories in this issue are entertaining and thought provoking. In this issue, the talented writers who have contributed since our inaugural issue last year are joined by some veteran talent making their WDT debut. Among them are two Brits, Mark Moxon and Amy Laughinghouse, evocative writers who can make you laugh out loud or move you with reporting on travels with a darker side.
