Found this little story over on BuzzFeed thanks to our friends at Living Overland, "41 Camping Hacks that are Borderline Genius". While some of them are certainly innovative, most have been seen before in various forms, and many are just plain silly.

The latest from Jordan, he's still in Myanmar and is having a very interesting time. Read all about it!

Jordan's latest update, this time from Myanmar.

We really wish we could be out & about with him, can't wait to see what adventure awaits!

Jordan has another update for us, this time from Bangkok.

Apparently his best advice for exploring a new, foreign, land is to run around early in the AM. That's military training for you :)

Enjoy this report!

Have you ever dreamed you could ski every day regardless of season, temperature, or any other factor? Can you imagine moving to one of the hottest places on the planet to do just that?
In Episode 2 of A Skier's Journey, we learn about Ski Dubai and a 26 year old Moroccan that has done just that. He may ski more than anyone on the planet.

National Geographic has posted thier top 25 picks for the best ski towns in the world. All of the usual suspects are included, with a few interesting additions, just to keep things interesting.

Among our favorites are Whistler and Jackson, Wyoming. We've been hearing a lot of good things about Bozeman lately, and since our new friends from Expedition Overland live up there, it's on the list for the upcoming season. Not sure why Vail was omitted, but it's their list...

Are there any missing? Are any of these destinations in your future? Let us know on Facebook ;)

While on a somewhat ordinary flight for fun, a "cool guy" named Ryan Thompson decided to fake an in-flight emergency in order to propose to his girlfriend. While the video is certainly entertaining (Adventure Journal reports that she did say 'yes'), we're not sure if this is the safest way to start a new life together. It sure is interesting though. What do you think?

Here at Adventure Insider, we go to great lengths to get our adrenaline fix.  For those of us based in NYC, escaping the daily grind can me difficult at times.  With this in mind, we had to ask ourselves, "How do we get the hell out of the city ASAP?" The answer came easy; learn how to fly.  The Northeast provides some of the most beautiful flying in the country, while offering some amazing adventure travel opportunities.  The best part of it all, besides the view, is soaring 5000 feet over bumper to bumper traffic on the infamous New England toll roads.  Throw some climbing gear, mountain bikes or surfboards in the cargo hold and adventure travel is limitless.  Adventure Insider has some pretty exciting stuff coming out in the near future, and we look forward to sharing every thrilling moment with you.

A view from the eastern cliffs of San Sebastian
For an adventure traveler, a trip to Spain cannot be complete without visiting Basque Country in the northeastern part of the country.  The dramatic geological clash of mountains meets sea (reminiscent of Marin County, CA) provides endless opportunities for adventure sports, including surfing, mountain biking, rock climbing, kayaking, wind surfing, hiking and many more.  Basque Country's capital, San Sebastian provides the perfect Trifecta that makes me weak in the knees: great surfing, miles of cross country mountain biking and world class cuisine.  The streets of San Sebastian are a harmonious mix of antiquated cobble stone and sweeping modern plazas which are cluttered with bar and restaurants serving traditional pintxos and local wines.  San Sebastian will not disappoint the hedonist in any adventure sports enthusiast.
