Globe is an info-packed magazine with travel articles by members, book reviews, travel tips, bargains and club news. Emphasis is placed on the unusual and opportunities to see places and meet people not experienced by the everyday tourist. Globe features methods of cheap travel and trips off the beaten track, as well as on well-travelled routes. There are also lists of club meetings, travel shows and other travel events.
In this Summer edition, we travel from the fjords of Patagonia and the mountains of Pakistan to the ancient sites of Turkey and the volcanic landscapes of Lanzarote. There are also book reviews, recipes and recollections from older members – as well as lists of discounts available from various travel shops and companies.
We hope you enjoy this latest collection of adventures from fellow Globetrotters and that it inspires your own future travels.
