It turns out the notorious computer game we all loved as kids is named after a real-life long-distance trail in the Eastern United States. Spanning approximately 2,190 miles, the Appalachian Trail offers hikers the opportunity to explore a diverse range of ecosystems as they move from the forests of the South to the rocky terrain of New England. This trail is both challenging and highly rewarding, taking most hikers between 5 to 7 months to complete.

At a height of 33,159 ft and a length of 145 miles, the trail circumnavigates the Annapurna Massif in the Himalayas, offering hikers postcard-worthy views of alpine landscapes and traditional villages along the way. On average, the trail takes about 2-3 weeks to complete depending on skill level and the specific route travelers choose to take.

Literally translated as “The Long Path”, New Zealand’s Te Araroa Trail offers adventure enthusiasts the chance to take in a diverse array of the country’s natural wonders through one 1,800-mile trek. The trail was officially opened in 2011 and consists of a series of tracks and walkways that connect New Zealand’s North and South Islands.

]]>516 Arouca is set to open this fall as the world’s longest pedestrian suspension bridge, and it’s easy to see why it will take some guts to cross it.
Hanging 575 feet above the ravine which hosts Paiva River at the bottom of it, this new bridge is held by only two concrete V-shaped towers on either side of the ravine. This means that the footpath sways and rocks with the wind and with the motion of people crossing it!
Measuring at 1,692 feet long, depending on how scared you are, it will take about five to 10 minutes to cross in its entirety.
Part of the Arouca Geopark, a paradise for nature lovers in Portugal’s north-central Aveiro district, you’ll be able to see panoramic views of the Paiva River, the mountainous terrain, and the Aguieiras Waterfall if you’re brave enough to look anywhere but forward as you cross!
The COVID-19 pandemic has delayed its opening, but the new bridge is all tested and ready and set to open before Christmas this year!
A 12 euro admission ticket will grant you access to the bridge as well as the Passadiços do Paiva hiking route in the park. If you find yourself in Portugal and looking for a thrill, this unique attraction is a must-visit.

]]>Driving
Due to the long travel distances and the long time you will spend in the car, it is advisable to rent a relatively large and safe vehicle. Even if you have GPS, it is important that you carefully examine the route before you set off, especially in the east of the country. The GPS may take you through side roads, dirt roads, and roads that are not suitable for a regular vehicle. Avoid driving at night as much as possible, especially on unlit side roads, where wildlife often roams.
Cities
It is advisable to avoid walking outside in the dark, especially in cities where crime rates are high such as Johannesburg. Avoid carrying a lot of money and valuables with you as much as possible. Keep your cell phone and other valuables in an inner pocket.
It is important to be careful and vigilant when withdrawing money from ATMs, and it is better to carry side bags rather than backpacks.

]]>Pick a Good Spot
Help the cars stop for you and stand at a spot where it is safe, legal, and easy to stop, and where the speed is relatively low.
Look Clean
You don’t need to dress formal but if you look clean and tidy people will feel more comfortable letting them into their space.
Patience, But Not Too Much
Be patient but know when to call it a day and move to another spot and don’t get in a car that feels wrong just because it’s been a long wait.
Keep It Happy
This is good for you, but also will make people want to stop for you. Have a happy song in your head and a positive attitude.

Be Available
Once in the car be present, don’t spend the entire trip staring at your phone. Prepare some conversation topics and anecdotes to share with the drivers.
Be Generous
If you can contribute gas money, and if you have food share it.

It’s good to know where you’re going, but wait to hear where the driver is heading, perhaps it’s a better idea!
Read the Room
If the dynamic isn’t fun, make up an excuse to be dropped off sooner. This will help both you and the driver.
Don’t Hitchhike If It Scares You
Bottom line, hitchhiking isn’t for everyone. Only do it if it’s fun.

Before setting out on the 20-mile adventure, make sure to check with the authorities that it is safe, the weather is dependable, and most importantly, that they know you are out there and when you are expected back.
