As I personally grew up in the south (Georgia) my family went to Destin, Florida just about every summer for a week on the beach. With white beaches and clear blue water, Destin is a major destination (no pun intended…) for southerners as well as tourists from all over the world. The Emerald Coast as it’s known as offers the vacationing visitor all of the activities that one can expect when going to the beach.
For every high-risk, adrenaline-seeking lifestyle, there are ten thousand high-risk injuries that might happen.

You??re in an out-of-the-way corner of Japan, enjoying a mid-morning ride on a cheaply purchased mountain bike, viewing a landscape that only so many places can offer.
A smoking volcano to the left, and a revolving sushi restaurant on the right, not yet open for the lunch crowd.
Everything takes getting used to.
Whether it??s sleeping on the street with your family, saying ???no?? to beggars, fasting for days, functioning with dysentery, or even something so simple as casting off one??s attachment to toilet paper.
The most important lesson I learned in India is that (for better or worse) human beings can adapt to anything.
