SynopsisDiscover the pleasures of slow travel with this inspiring introduction to the beauty and possibility of the great outdoors. Whatever your pace or purpose, the stories within will provide you with a fresh perspective on what it means to be "outdoorsy," whether that means trekking from hut to hut in New Zealand, saddling up at a Patagonian ranch or simply taking a moment for mindfulness amid the pristine peaks of Bhutan. Featuring vibrant photography, practical guidance and thoughtful reflections on land stewardship, Kinfolk Wilderness brings together inspiring itineraries from five continents that promise adventure, inspire awe and spark a deeper connection to the landscape. You'll find entry points into bucolic European idylls from Denmark to Romania, discover new hiking trails through the ancient hills of Iraqi Kurdistan and learn how to stargaze in the haunting dark-sky deserts of California. Guided by the belief that travel is as much a state of mind as an action or itinerary, Kinfolk celebrates a way of exploring our world that not only fosters thoughtful perspectives on the places we visit but also deepens our relationship with home once the journey is over., The second volume in the new Kinfolk trilogy (following Kinfolk Islands ), which invites readers to celebrate the beauty and possibility to be found in the great outdoors.
