Susan Blum, Adventure Travel Specialist

Meet Sue Blum, your consultant and guide through some of the most exciting and exotic destinations in the world. Here, Sue shares a few of her favorite destinations:

India
The history, architecture and diverse cultures of this continent fulfilled my dream of exploring the Far East. India has an array of cultures and religions that have thrived for ages, each expressing its beliefs and traditions in magnificent artistic and architectural achievements. Although a challenging destination, those who travel to India discover the treasures of one of the world's great civilizations. If you enjoy delving into convoluted cosmologies and thrive on sensual overload, then India is the destination for you.

Africa
In contrast to India, Africa moves at a slow and gentle pace. There are no appointments to keep, just stunning scenery, beautiful people and an astounding variety of wild life. In 1999 I joined an Abercrombie & Kent tour to East Africa and since that visit, I have returned to explore the wonders of Kenya, Tanzania, South Africa, Namibia, Zambia, Zimbabwe and Botswana. Luxury tented camps, excellent guides and the unique experience of being on safari are everything and more than you can possibly imagine. A trip to any part of Africa is a life altering experience with endless opportunities for adventure, discovery and relaxation. Throw away your watch, plan your safari and begin dreaming of Africa!

Vietnam
Nearly thirty years after the war's end, Vietnam has emerged as a destination of exciting cities, luxurious hotels, fine dining, shimmering paddy fields and unspoiled sugar white beaches. Throughout the tour, I was overwhelmed by superb natural scenery, friendly people anxious to interact with Americans, ancient Buddhist culture, French-fusion architecture and delicious food. Vietnam continues to change rapidly and dramatically. If you want to enjoy its traditional culture, I suggest that you travel to this destination soon.

Cambodia
If you plan a tour of Vietnam, do not miss taking an extension to Cambodia. The World Heritage ruins at Angkor are truly one of the most remarkable destinations on Earth. In Cambodia you can explore areas just newly opened to travelers, enjoy the fascinating capital of Phnom Penh, once known as the "Paris of the East" and meet a gracious and hospitable people.
