The cards are dealt, or the die is cast. That is what it means Alea jacta est. The deadline for submitting photos and videos to our annual travel photography and video competition has now passed.
We're happy to announce formally, if you haven't seen it yet, that we've released new website of Viatges Tuareg.
Join us on 26 January for an in-depth discussion of Madagascar. We will meet in the Turkish Airlines conference room on Barcelona’s Passeig de Gràcia to talk with expert travellers and communicators who will give us a rich and varied view of this beautiful African destination. Come and find a place beneath this metaphorical baobab in the centre of Barcelona to hear the best stories from Madagascar.
Before I start writing like a man possessed, I think it is useful to set out what we expect from a trip and from taking photographs.
I assume we see a journey as more than simply moving from one place to another. I hope you see it as an experience: a chance to enjoy ourselves, feel alive and learn. We travel to see the world as people elsewhere see it, and to try to feel what they feel. Viewed this way, travel is an excellent opportunity to learn in a completely different way: first-hand.
