MOROCCO
Travel writer John Vlahides explores the road less travelled in Morocco on assignment for guidebook publisher Lonely Planet. On a journey down the spine of central Morroco, he steps back hundreds of
years in the labyrinthine medina of Fez, roadtests skiing African-style in the rugged Atlas Mountains, explores the crumbling kasbah of a despised Moroccan despot, and joins a family of Berber nomads in the dunes of the Sahara.
COLOMBIA
Lonely Planet sends intrepid photojournalist Dominic Bonuccelli on assignment down the road less travelled in Colombia. Setting out for the Caribbean Coast from the once notorious city of Medellin,
Dominic braves army roadblocks, kidnap warnings and gun-slinging cowboys as he explores the glaciers of the Andes, gets his soul cleansed in a remote Indian village and puts on his dancing shoes for the world's second-biggest carnival.
