How lighthouse keeper Ida Lewis pioneered early female badassery The heroine was called the “Bravest Woman in America.” President Ulysses S. Grant awarded her the Gold Lifesaving Medal.

These are the 10 best treks in the world From the foothills of Scotland to the remote islands of Indonesia, follow my journey of walks.
Some people collect art, others cars or wine. I am a bagger of exotic walks.

In order to get definitive about the best walks, I have been musing about their essential ingredients. There are thousands of beautiful walks, so beauty can only be…
