Wild Adventures
“Away” is not just a place—it's taking the time, and the sea route, to let the magic of discovery happen. It’s the patience of watching the horizon for spouting whales, or seeing the outline of a remote island materialize, the joy of letting the birds change your plans, and the belief that nature always delivers the best show. For nature, silence, and solitude are the last real luxuries left in the world—and all three are becoming harder to access. This is what “epic” means and what the expeditions featured here do—they reach beyond the man-made world, the touted destinations, to arrive in the untouched places. To meet animals that seem surprised to see you. To take the time, and nautical miles, to separate yourself, and discover terra incognita.
