Life of Adventure

Mandy Karlik asked:


ly, the continent of Antarctica was not officially discovered until the year 1820. However, it was not exactly unknown. Before that, it had been “contemplated” by ancient cultures who sort of surmised that there had to be land at the extreme southernmost end of the world.

Some ancient cultures figured it had to exist as a way of balancing the weight of Europe and Africa. The ancient Greeks, who knew about the Arctic or North Pole, speculated there had to be an anti-North Pole or anti-Arctic. In fact, they gave Antarctica its name.

Famed explorer Captain Cook, better known for his more temperate discoveries in the South Pacific and Hawaii, almost discovered Antarctica when he cruised within miles of it but never actually sighted land (or knew what was there).

It was not until 1820 that Antarctica was actually sighted and a few more years later until anyone managed to set foot on the continent. The actual discoverer of Antarctica remains somewhat in dispute, but suffice it to say that they were more interested in the fur trade than scientific exploration.

Fur seals were a powerful lure to bring hardy trappers to the harshest climate on earth. These greedy hunters almost drove the fur seals to extinction, but not before the Antarctic climate caused a few of the fur traders to become extinct themselves.

The continent today is a land of superlatives. It’s not just the coldest place on earth (colder by far than the North Pole). It’s also the driest (which is paradoxical since it contains 90 percent of the earth’s ice), the windiest, and the highest (in terms of average elevation).

Antarctica receives so little average annual precipitation that its stark interior qualifies as the world’s largest desert. It also has active volcanoes, several species of indigenous plants and animals, and a near-permanent settlement of temporary residents, mainly conducting scientific research.

Today, it’s also a vacation destination. True, it’s not a typical vacation spot. Few people relax by going to the harshest, most extreme climate zone on earth. But for adventure travelers, it is a great place to visit.

Commercial cruise lines run regular, if only occasional, tours there and cruising Antarctica is a great way to see it. However, even the most stalwart adventure traveler has to make concessions for the Antarctic.

For one thing, it’s daylight all of the time or not at all, depending on the season. Second, sunburn can be as much of a problem as frostbite since the glare from the ice and snow makes going outside treacherous. Eye protection is an absolute necessity since snow blindness can permanently damage the eyes. With high winds and frequent storms, air travel is dicey at best.

Planes can and do fly around the region, but schedules are almost impossible since everything is contingent on the weather.

Technically, the permanent population of Antarctica is zero, but there is actually a near permanent settlement of people who come to Antarctica on a temporary basis to live, study, work, conduct research, or even just play tourist. Recently, Ann Curry of the Today Show visited the South Pole as such a visitor.

The facilities for residents are limited at best, but growing. Today, there are even a few people who can actually claim to have been born in Antarctica.

The future of Antarctica is guarded zealously by a group of nations who signed a treaty to protect this last continent from all forms of exploitation. Scientific research is permitted, even encouraged, but it must be done in ways that do little damage to the delicate ecosystem of this harsh region.

Paul Hata asked:


Adventure travel is one of the fastest growing segments of the travel industry, but it is often difficult to find good bargains when booking adventure travel.

With so many people itching to go on the adventure of a lifetime, the prices in those travel brochures can lead you to believe that adventure travel is beyond your means.

That does not have to be the case, however. The key to affordable adventure travel is to book directly from the providers of the adventure, instead of going through multiple layers of travel agents, tour operators and tour guides.

Booking a tour directly has many benefits besides monetary ones, including meeting wonderful local people and enjoying the local culture.

Often the best way to enjoy a vacation on a budget is to book low cost airfare to the destination of your choice, take the local bus into town, and start asking around about the best adventure guides in town.

Local tour operators know the area, they know how to please their clientele, and best of all they are inexpensive. U.S. currency goes quite a long way in many exotic locations in Africa, Asia and elsewhere, so dealing with local tour guides is the best way to make your adventure travel dollar stretch even further.

Many inexperienced adventure travelers are unsure how they can possibly book an adventure tour on their own. For one thing, there is often a language barrier in far off locations, and you may be many thousands of miles from home in an unfamiliar location.

What these first time travelers often don’t realize, however, is that finding a tour operator is often the easiest part of the journey.

In many cases, the tour operators will find you as soon as you land, without you having to seek them out. And in most places, especially those frequented by American tourists, the guides will speak at least a little bit of English.

Listed below are some of the best tips for booking your own budget travel adventure.

- Be sure to ask around before you leave. Get opinions from other travelers who have done the adventure you plan on.

- Refer to your guidebook for references. Guidebook writers are often quite knowledgeable about which tour operators are good and which are more questionable.

- Check on the message boards, both virtual and real. Real message boards are available at hostels and local guest houses, and they can provide excellent information on local tours and tour operators.

- The staff at local hostels can also provide excellent information about adventure travel. And internet message boards devoted to travel can be great sources of information, both before you leave home and after you arrive in your far off location.

- Interview your potential trip leaders carefully. Ask lots of open ended and probing questions about the equipment used, the experience level of the guides, the lodging the food, and what is and is not included. Be sure to negotiate everything in advance, since you will have little leverage once the adventure trip has begun.

- Finally, if your crew did a great job, be sure to tip them generously after the tour has come to an end. Good tour operators rely on these tips to supplement their often meager wages, and this helps to keep the best tour guides in business and the best tour operators in operation.

“ …It is, in short, the only unquestioned and generally acceptable means of payment among nations, as dollars are the only unquestioned and generally acceptable means of payment among Americans, francs among Frenchmen, sterling among the British, and so on.”

Peter Bernstein, ‘A Primer on Money, Banking and Gold.’

Peter Bernstein is no gold bug. Rather, he is one of the world’s foremost authorities on capital markets and economics. A Primer on Money, Banking and Gold was first written in 1965, when gold was still the international currency. It is our contention that in the years ahead, gold will once again resume that role.

Prior to 1971, gold was effectively the commodity with which international payments were made. The flow of gold into and out of countries said more about a nations’ economic health than anything else. Indeed, the outflow of gold from the US in the late 1960s ultimately triggered President Nixon’s decision to suspend gold convertibility. In a fateful decision, the global financial system’s link to sound money was broken.

Ever since, the world has been on a US dollar standard, a monetary system where only one country has the benefit of borrowing and repaying debt in its own currency. In order for this system to prosper, the true international currency, gold, needs to be discredited. We believe gold has been held down for many years in order to allow the US dollar based international financial system to survive. But the official grip on the gold price is beginning to weaken, perhaps this time for good.

The smart money knows this and is beginning to move into gold. There is a silent gold rush taking place all around the world. Investors who understand gold’s role as an international currency are selling their surplus paper dollars and buying the yellow metal. This has led to unprecedented demand for bullion and coin dealers everywhere are struggling to meet this demand.

The Australian newspaper reported over the weekend that the Perth Mint is not taking any more orders for gold until January. Our guess is that the Mint does not want to expose itself to higher future prices given that it does not have the inventory to meet the demand for bullion. In a recent report, The World Gold Council said investment demand for the September quarter was $10.7 billion, double last year’s quarterly total.

Yet the price of gold in US dollars has been under pressure and gold producers have little incentive to increase output at these price levels. Even in Australian dollars, the price of gold is not high enough to encourage increased production. According to Bloomberg, Australian gold production was down 8% in the third quarter.

Strong demand and weak supply should be creating much higher prices. One explanation as to why this is not happening relates to the short term impact of hedge funds selling gold to meet investor redemptions. However, we do not see this as a major cause. Hedge funds are more likely to deal in gold futures rather than physical gold. We will discuss the futures market in a moment.  

More ominously, we believe central banks and bullion banks (basically large international banks) are attempting to keep the price of gold down to reflect the ‘strength’ of the US dollar monetary system the world has operated under since 1971. This theory has been convincingly argued for many years by the Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee (GATA) in the US.

In summary, the argument is that central banks loan or lease gold to the bullion banks, who then sell the gold on the spot market and invest the proceeds in higher yielding treasury securities, earning a positive spread and easy money. In this way, central bank gold holdings are monetised and the proceeds are reinvested back into US government debt. More importantly, the additional supply of gold coming onto the market from the vaults of the central banks helps keep the price down.

Central bank officials certainly deny that they lease gold in order to keep the price low. Their explanation is that they simply lease gold to earn a small return on an asset that does not pay interest.

This is an ingenuous argument. Gold is an insurance policy – a wealth protector not a wealth generator. The benefit of earning a tiny return is more than offset by the risk of losing control over a country’s gold reserves. This fact will soon become painfully obvious to a number of countries.

The gold leasing and carry trade has in effect created a huge short position in the gold market. That is, the loaned gold must be paid back at some point. So central banks have considerable counter-party risks as they are relying on banks to repay the gold loaned to them.

How much gold is loaned out? That is an impossible question to answer, as there are no requirements for central banks to disclose this information. According to IMF (International Monetary Fund) accounting standards, central banks can include swapped or leased gold as a part of their official reserves, a practice that would lead to double counting of gold. So there is a decent likelihood that some of the world’s official gold reserves are not safely stored away, but have instead been leased and sold on the spot market.

This is certainly the contention of GATA and others. Recent efforts to obtain an updated audit of the US’ official gold reserves, stored mainly in Fort Knox, Kentucky, have been met with silence by the authorities. Despite the gold being the property of the US public, the facility is completely off limits and no official tours are conducted. Conversely, tourists and US citizens alike can see foreign central bank gold held in custody at the New York Federal Reserve in Manhattan.

If the market for physical gold is confusing and opaque, then so is the market for gold futures. The futures market is a way for investors, or more correctly, speculators, to gain exposure to the gold price without owning the physical metal. And futures provide leverage.

For example, the active futures contract at the moment is the December contract. One contract represents 100 ounces of gold. So the buyer of one December contract at US$820/oz will pay the seller US$82,000 in exchange for 100 ounces of gold. In practice though, most contracts are settled with cash rather than delivery of the physical metal.

There are increasing rumours that the COMEX, the exchange that runs the gold futures market, does not have the required physical metal should buyers of the contracts demand bullion as payment instead of cash. This is not surprising, as many of the players on the futures market are hedge funds. Such speculators look to capture leveraged price moves rather than buy contracts to receive physical delivery. 

The ‘open interest’ in the gold futures market reflects the amount of activity in gold futures and since peaking in early 2008, the amount of contracts ‘open’ have declined considerably.

Part of the decline obviously reflects lower participation from the hedge fund players. More importantly though, we believe the decline in open interest represents investor distrust in the exchange to deliver on its promises of gold delivery. If you really want to own bullion, why buy a futures contract? In the past, the gold futures price led the spot gold price. If participation in the futures exchange continues to decline, we wonder how long this will continue. 

Given the anecdotal evidence of physical accumulation around the world, we sense that investors large and small are beginning to wake up to the fact that the days of the US dollar as the world’s sole reserve currency are numbered. The fiat money experiment that began in August 1971 is drawing to a close.

Not that anyone in an official capacity wants to recognise this. In a recent meeting of the House Financial Services Committee in the US, Republican Senator Ron Paul asked Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke whether central bankers ever discussed gold in the context of a new international monetary system. Bernanke’s response was to the effect that they only discuss gold in terms of how much they plan to sell.

If this is true, the trade by central banks has so far been a poor one. Central bank sales (separate from the leasing of gold discussed earlier) have been co-ordinated since the Washington Gold Agreement was signed in 1999.

The agreement was precipitated by Gordon Brown, the country’s then chancellor, selling half of England’s gold reserves in 1999. The fact that Brown inexplicably advertised the government’s move prior to the sales saw the gold price plummet and threaten the gold mining industry, so a formalised gold selling agreement was put into place.

The first agreement, from 1999-2004, stipulated that the 11 member nations of the new euro, plus a few other European nations, limit their gold sales to 400 tonnes per year, or not more than 2000 tonnes over five years. The countries signed a second agreement in September 2005, limiting sales to 500 tonnes per year, or not more than 2500 tonnes in total.

There are a few points to note about these agreements. Firstly, the sales represent supply over and above annual production and the gold price has increased considerably since the agreements began. There is now less than one year left in the second agreement and sales in the first four years have all been under the 500 tonne limit. Evidence to date suggests that sales in the final year will be well down on the proposed limit, as banks decide to hold onto their remaining gold.

The fact that central bank sales have added supply to the market while the gold price has continued to rise over the past 9 years suggests the unfolding bull market is a powerful one. While unelected officials sell their citizens’ gold wealth, individuals are taking matters into their own hands and buying the gold back. We believe this will prove a great trade for the individual, and a poor one for the central banks, with major ramifications.

Pankaj Sharma asked:


“You must really hate this job.” That’s what my boss said when I told him I was moving from San Diego to Siberia for a year. In reality, I was bored and looking for something that would be completely and utterly new. Whether it was sunstroke or a developing tolerance to margaritas, San Diego just wasn’t cutting it anymore. Heck, I hadn’t even gone to the beach in nine months and it was only a few blocks away. Time to rediscover a zest for life.

As you are doing now, I trolled the Internet looking for that rare opportunity that would renew my vigor and let me brag to my domesticated friends. Pick coffee in the South Pacific? No, I already drink too much of it. Sail around the world on a container ship? No, I wasn’t ready for involuntary self-reflection. Before I knew it, I had agreed to move to a city in Siberia known as Chita. Yes, I was going to be a professor at Chita State Technical University through a program put together by Siberian Intercultural Bridges. Donate – they need the money.

So, what does one take for a one-year stay in Siberia? Why, I’ll just go buy a guidebook on Siberia and read the “what to take” section. My search of the local mega bookstore was disappointing. Shockingly, there were no guidebooks for Siberia. I was tempted to write a nasty letter to Lonely Planet and others until the bookstore clerk said, “You’re going WHERE?” When she started giving me the “you must be a criminal on the run” look, it was time to go.

Fortunately, I was able to find experienced travelers that could provide me with the details and items that were absolutely necessary. My girlfriend gave me the all-important electric blanket, a power converter and intimate details about what would happen to me if I should dare share it with another women. Grandpa gave me a World War II down coat that was about three sizes too big and made me look like a walking gopher. Family, friends and random strangers contributed further items and advice that would be critical to my survival.

Apparently rating my chances of survival at 50-50, friends and family put together a going away/never see him again party the day before I left. Of course, everyone brought Vodka as a humorous going away gift. The tide quickly turned, however, as all were asked/forced to try a “taste of Russia.” Many of the events of that night will remain forever sealed in antiquity, but it should suffice to say that the wife of one friend went into labor which made it a very fun night and subsequent day for him at the hospital. Few got off so easily.

Gigantic backpack, electric blanket, hangover and I headed to the airport the next morning. But that’s a story for part 2 of this nomad adventure travel series…

James William asked:


It becomes quite boring going to the same old places where you shop till you drop; see cars end to end and high-rise buildings in the name of a holiday. Adventure travel is nowadays being taken up many people as they want to experience life on the risky side. But dare not think of that without holiday insurance for outdoor adventure travel.

When it comes to adventure, many different things can come to your mind as per your risk-taking capacity like parasailing, paragliding, bungee jumping, rock climbing, trekking, white water rafting, etc. but as we enumerate these activities, we also realise that they actually involve a lot of risk and we can even end up in a hospital in a foreign land if a mishap happens. So it is better that the traveller buys himself holiday insurance for his outdoor adventure travel.

All risks involved in adventure travel are covered with this insurance plan. Any medical urgencies arising in these adventures are also covered. Hospital charges are all reimbursed to the traveller which he spends in such a situation. Also, any loss of baggage or documents is also under the coverage of this holiday insurance plan.

Since high risk is involved in these adventure trails, the premium for these insurance plans is also higher. But with the help of in-depth research for a good policy, the travellers can get low premium plans. These can be obtained by comparison and do not cause a burden for the traveller as well. Extra premium helps in getting extra privileges like more sports at no extra costs etc.

For outdoor adventure travel, it is best to avail holiday insurance to safeguard yourself and your finances. This will help the travellers taking the risk have a mental satisfaction about their expenses.
