"If
travel and exploration contribute to an understanding of human flourishing,
then we hope we've added to the affluence with Richard Bangs Adventures
over this past year. Our first-rate media team has packed up our digital
portmanteaux and circled the globe, seeking out people who are making
a difference, in their world and ours, by spending their energy, enterprise
and time in pursuit of worthwhile passions and purpose. "

"Great
Escapes leverages technology into the 21st century. Today, with
satellite technologies and the Internet, we can stretch the wire of
the imagination, and break the tyranny of distance and delay. We publish
the musings and insights, images and audio, of our correspondents within
hours. There is an honesty and rawness to this format not found in the
well-tuned pages of travel print, and our hope is that we will serve
travel and its inspirations in a way no other medium can achieve."

In
September 2002, the online magazine Slate began a monthly series
of travel assignments called Well-Traveled. Along with daily
dispatches from award-winning writers from today's popular press (Outside,
New York Times, and others), were complemented by digital photo galleries
and other media as appropriate. The series continues on Slate to this
day, in a more restricted form. Key adventures include:

The
TerraQuest site was seminal in the evolution of live expeditions
on the Internet. For years it captured the imagination of its audience
— primary and secondary school students, curious Web surfers,
scientists and media geeks — as well as fans of travel and
travelers themselves. From Antarctica, to Ecuador and the Galapagos,
and finally up El Capitan with Eric Weihnmayer, TerraQuest went
where no one had gone before, and had fun doing it. Visit
TerraQuest.

During
the calendar year 2004, MSN experiemented with live online expeditions
under the banner of First and Best. The first series of dispatches
detailed the "heroes of Africa," who stayed in their home
countries to help out rather than fleeing to the developed world. Then
we followed Ed Viesturs' ascent of Annapurna, and traveled across the
state of Texas and down the coast of California. MSN has since discontinued
the series, and this rich and evocative content is no longer available
on the Web. Stay tuned for recovered content to appear here soon.
