What they say: Adventure. Exploration. Discovery.
We human beings are rigged to fear the unknown. It’s a survival mechanism rooted in our genes; the evolutionary legacy of having once been prey. Yet adventure and discovery expose us to the unknown, and woven into the process of overcoming our fear, in how we react and adapt, we see something of the truth of ourselves. And by exposure to what we fear, our tolerance grows – we learn not to be afraid. But that’s not all we learn.
Adventure enriches. Achievements inspire. Discovery educates and enlightens. Adversity strengthens us. The world might seem smaller, more digitally accessible, but its remote regions challenge just as much as they have ever done. The secrets they hold, the treasures they offer, need to be experienced first-hand. We need to touch and feel and see, to smell and taste.
What we say: While the covers of most issues of Sidetracked focus on life, be it an adventurer exploring some far flung corner of the globe, of an inquisitive polar bear, Issue 11 simply presents us with elemental power, the stuff of life. Opening said cover will reveal a first for Sidetracked: a small inserted adventure guide to Austria, for those looking to explore the mountainous interior of Europe. Diving into the issue itself will take you through cold climes around the world paddling, climbing, skiing, kite-skiing, trying to stay warm! Don't worry though, there are a few pieces from warmer locals to help you dream of warmer seasonal adventures (or in one case, getting oh so close to the innards of a volcano).
