Writer ali lemer describes why she loves New York City. "Life in NYC can be both thrilling and maddening. It's not the easiest place to live, but the dizzying array of rewards here - restaurants, live music and theatre, museums, shopping, beautiful parks, a breathtaking skyline - makes most other cities pale in comparison. But best of all is the indefatigable spirit of the people. When the pandemic hit, New Yorkers came together to figure out ways to help each other survive, from mutual-aid groups delivering groceries to musicians playing outside to entertain during lockdown. Tough times never last, but New Yorkers do - and so does NYC."

Hike, Drive, Stayin' Alive!
by The Raven Brothers
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.
