useful links, pictures and some notes on adventure travel – Paul Caturegli
I have visited 70 countries.
Some of my favorite areas are Mediterranean Europe, The Caribbean, SouthEast Asia and Southern Africa. People go on vacation to "relax and get away", but traveling to me is more about adventure, growth and personal transformation. I always travel with a purpose, a plan and a set of goals in order to experience and learn something new.
Below are some my most used and useful links for travel planning and a few recommendations.
