Here in Hawaii, winter is rainier but the waves are bigger and better.

We're halfway through November. For those of you living in the northern hemisphere, if you haven't felt winter yet, you will soon! Here in Hawaii, winter is rainier but the waves are bigger and better.

Fernando Ortiz grew up on mainland Ecuador and has lived in the Galapagos the past twenty years. His career path has led him from tour guide to dive guide and eventually dive company manager. Along the route he decided that talking to tourists about conservation was not ...3 unexpected destinations for riding like a wild west cowboy
The wild west cowboy is an American icon. Buffalo Bill. John Wayne. The Marlboro Man. These guys were as tough, rugged and wild as the west itself. They represented everything exciting and romantic about the undiscovered western half of the country. But this area of the US ...Gadlinks for Friday 11.13.09
It's Friday the 13th! I am hoping that makes it a lucky day for me. It's been yet another tough week on the home front for many non-travelers, so maybe some travel reads will help to lift our spirits. Have a look at these....
The Vans Triple Crown of Surfing is under ...Through the Gadling Lens: inspiration, courtesy of the Gadlingers
It occurred to me the other day that we've officially been together for a year here at Through the Gadling Lens -- how great is that? So it seems a little bit of a retrospective on the past year is in order, because seriously, we have talked about a lot here on the column. ...Friday the 13th: a lucky day for booking a hotel reservation

Superstitious or not, if you're thinking about booking a hotel, you might want to wait until Friday the 13th to book.
(Is that like ...Pablo Escobar's Hacienda popular with tourists
Visiting the former home of a famous person is pretty common. Tourists flock to Elvis' Graceland and who wouldn't love a look inside the creepy world of Michael Jackson's Neverland Ranch? But exploring the former compound of a Colombian drug lord....well that seems a little ...The view from inside a Colombian prison
In addition to being a traveler and a blogger, I am also, in my spare time, a full-time law student. (Should it be the other way around? Oh well.) As a future lawyer interested in criminal law, I've had a couple of opportunities to see the inside of American prisons, and ...Bowermaster's Adventures -- Tourism's impact on the Galapagos
It would be wrong on its face to say that tourism is the biggest problem facing the Galapagos today. Simultaneously, it is accurate to say that the growth in tourism in the one-of-a-kind archipelago is the primary reason the islands are "in danger." Those are not my words, ...Gadlinks for Friday 11.6.09
I don't know about you guys, but I'm really grateful it's Friday! I need the weekend to decompress, but these great reads have already helped me on my way.
I love companies that give back. Here are five travel outlets that make giving part of buying. [via Jaunted]
...Bowermaster's Adventures -- The Charles Darwin Research Center
While in the Galapagos filming we ran into an American writer living in Puerto Ayora, the big town on the island of Santa Cruz, researching a book about exactly the same subject of our film – the current state of affairs across the archipelago.
Carol Ann Bassett's ...Bowermaster's Adventures -- Welcome to the Galapagos!
Often by the time the mainstream media runs big stories about an environmental battle it's often too late. I've seen it up-close dozens of times during the past couple decades and have reported so many David-versus-Goliath stories – usually positing good-hearted ...Trans World Expedition: Driving around the globe
In a little over two weeks time, on November 15 to be exact, Nicolas Rapp will be setting out on an adventure of a lifetime. He'll be quitting his comfortable job as an art director for the Associated Press, and setting out on a year long road trip, driving his way around ...German pilot dumped, lives in Brazilian airport for two weeks

Welcome to another week of Gadlinks! There are plenty of cool travel reads on tap today. Have a seat and enjoy!
Bummer! Just when I thought I'd seen everything in Colombia, I find the Cano Cristales river, which based on these photos, does look like an awfully beautiful ...The international top five crappy pizzas
Bad pizza? Isn't that an oxymoron? Nope - despite the simplicity of melted cheese on dough, there is indeed such a thing as horrible pizza. I know; I ate some in Kaili, China - a town that has maybe 3 Westerners living in it, in a country that generally doesn't do bread or ...Gadlinks for Friday 10.16.09
Another Friday is upon us here at Gadling, and after that balloon kid fiasco yesterday, which also happened to be Blog Action Day, I think we need a good few days of rest. So cuddle up with these cool weekend reads and enjoy what I hope will be a drama-free weekend!
Our ...The ten toughest castles in the world
Castles make a pretty backdrop to any vacation. They conjure up images of brave knights and damsels in distress, but the reality was less romantic. Castles were fortifications built to defend important cities, ports, fords, or mountain passes. The best military minds in the ...Through the Gadling Lens: inspirational nature shots from our Gadling Flickr pool
As you know by now, today we're bringing attention to climate change and ecotravel here on Gadling. Personally, climate change and taking care of the environment is an issue that I've thought about a whole lot since becoming a parent -- and to be honest, my daughter has ...
