Those Hidden Getaways

The days of mass tourism may be at an end thanks to the sky high price of fuel, and the growing restrictions to the travel experience thanks to geopolitical events.

Many are starting to realize again that there is beauty everywhere, and maybe a quiet weekend looking at the sea, lakes or the mountains can achieve more than being thrown around on Roller Coasters, jostled by swarming crowds and putting up with the stress and inconvenience of the major tourism destinations.

The Fisherman

There is a peace and beauty about fishing that just can't be described. The cares of the world just seem to drift away in the gentle noise of the waves, or the stream.

Studies have been undertaken that proves fishing leads to a better, and more relaxed lifestyle.

Alan Simpson has been a fisherman for over fifty years, from the lakes of England, Texas and Florida, to the wide oceans off Australia and the United States.

This love of the Great Outdoors has prompted him to leave aside the Corridors of Power in Washington, DC and focus on the Chesapeake Bay, as well as the occasional trips North and to Florida.

In the months ahead he will be writing and filming the pleasures of fishing, the tranquility of the surroundings, and the enjoyment of the Great Outdoors.
