TRAVERSE Issue 03 - December 2017 | Page 5

EDITORIAL TRAVERSE: Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays! A s the year comes to a close and a new one be- gins it's time to reflect on what has been quite a chaotic 2017, the launch of Traverse has domina- ted our time and thankfully so. Traverse has allowed us to meet some very interesting people with even greater interesting tales; we've been transported to the most amazing places, seen the most amazing sites, ridden the most amazing roads. The coming year looks even more exciting. Issue 03 introduces us to the ins- pirational people at Pikilily and hear about the unbelievable story of the Blind Scooter Guy. We're taken to the wilds of Cambo- dia and Colombia, and discover the backroads of Siberia. Trevor Marc Hu- ghes shows us some of the history of British Columbia. We also get an insi- ght into the political history of Bolivia. Mike Hannan and Chris Foster sha- re some of their travel insights while Antonia Bollingbroke-Kent gives Five Reasons Why ... we should all do the Pamir Highway. Of course, we have reviews that we hope will help with the Christmas sho- TRAVERSE 5 pping too. Please check out the advertisemen- ts throughout the magazine, all are hyperlinked directly to the businesses page, and many offer great discounts for our readers. YES! YOU! To get into the festive spirit and as a thankyou to you all, we have a small give away, thanks to Water-to-Go and Traverse. Details page 19. We mentioned briefly last issue that the rumours doing the rounds regar- ding the sealing of Australia's Oodna- datta Track were just that. Rumours! So this issue we've included a little piece about the track and it's place in Australian history. Have a read of Traverse issue 03, enjoy the adventure ... Leigh
