Twenty-five of the World's Best Sporting Havens

International Living Postcards--your daily escape

Dear International Living Reader,

Many of us have had holidays spent breathing recycled air in "luxury" coaches…watching bad television in hotel rooms…eating beyond our capacity simply because meals were included in the "package" and there was little else to do.

We don't mean to suggest that a bit of R&R might not be just what the doctor ordered…sometimes. But there are times when you want an active holiday. You may have little desire to scale Mt. Everest, bungee-jump off a cliff, or swim the English Channel. Perhaps a week of boat fishing is what you need to sort your head out. Thing is, you want to do something on your holiday this time around.

After more than 25 years spent traveling the world, the editors, contributors, and friends of International Living have compiled a collection of sporting destinations with you, the active traveler, in mind. It's a mixed bag, from the quirky (cheese rolling in Gloucestershire) to the extreme (ski-jumping in Thunder Bay, Ontario). It's called Twenty-five of the World's Best Sporting Havens, and as an IL Postcards readers, it's yours for free. You can download it in PDF format here: http://www.internationalliving.com/free_reports/pdfs/Sporting_Destinations.pdf.

We hope this collection will inspire you to plan for the most adventurous, activity-packed holiday of your life.

Happy travels,

Kathleen Peddicord
