Texas - Houston & East Texas

More down-home than Dallas, more buttoned-up than Austin, Houston has money and cul-ture, but wears them like a good ol’ country boy come to town. Within day-trip distance you can visit NASA and the place where Texas won its independence.

- kick back on a shady patio, drink at hand, in an atmospheric Houston bar like Porch Swing Pub

- explore newly gussied-up Buffalo Bayou Park, which is surprisingly naturalistic, in the very heart of Houston

- ponder what was, what might have been and what still could be at Space Center Houston, the heart of NASA’s US space program

Coverage includes: Houston, Clear Lake & Around, Kemah, La Porte, Seabrook, Huntsville, Washington County, Brenham, Burton, Round Top, La Grange, Chappell Hill, Washington-on-the-Brazos, Bryan–College Station, Northeast Texas, Nacogdoches, Tyler, Canton, Kilgore, Jefferson, Caddo Lake, Carthage, Edom & Ben Wheeler.

Hike, Drive, Stayin' Alive!

by The Raven Brothers

On Amazon >

Out of shape and unprepared, The Raven Brothers return to the road in a collection of ten quests to travel to their dream destinations against all odds! After two decades pioneering new routes across the globe, you would expect the authors of 'Driving the Trans-Siberian' to be hotshot explorers, with a sixth sense and an ability to survive in almost any situation. Think again! With virtually zero knowledge of the workings of the internal combustion engine and very limited skills of wilderness survival, Simon and Chris struggle into their hiking boots and power across three continents by river, tarmac and trail.

Venture to the top of Norway, cruise the road to Damascus, hike the Camino trail into Spain’s Wild West, row the Ganges, explore Frida Kahlo’s world in Mexico City, hangout with the dead in Sicily’s eerie catacombs, crawl deep inside Bolivia’s notorious silver mine, seek lions in Gujarat, wellness in Berlin and journey into the Naga Hills where tribal kings still rule.

Noted by Lonely Planet for their talent to portray an “accurate view of what to expect”, 'Hike, Drive, Stayin’ Alive!' signals a return to the duo writing “buttock clenching” travel comedy with the first in a series of candid stories of adventure by The Raven Brothers.

Join the Raven brothers on four epic overland adventures across the USA, Russia, Black Sea and South America!
