There are many locations around the world that can provide the perfect backdrop for such a vacation but you need a passport to visit many of them. Your first step to an international experience is to be sure you have a passport so go to an online passport agency and download a USA passport form.

Experienced hikers often move up to trekking. This sport incorporates intense hiking with the assistance of a guide as well as some four-legged friends. Horses or donkeys are often incorporated to aid in transport equipment as trekking can encompass several days and often requires extensive climbing.

This location has been recognized by UNESCO as a biosphere reserve, and thus is one of the most untouched areas you can explore. Traveling here will give you the opportunity to experience giant glacial fields, beautiful white-tipped mountains, and the famous pink granite pillars.

One Quebecer missing after post-tropical storm Irene blasts Quebec, Maritimes

MONTREAL - One person was unaccounted for and tens of thousands were in the dark Monday after the residual power of hurricane Irene cut a destructive path through Quebec and the Maritimes.

The post-tropical storm may be to blame for a road collapse Monday about 100 kilometres northeast of Montreal, where the resulting crevasse swallowed two cars and left authorities searching for a missing driver.

After smacking southern Quebec on Sunday with heavy rain and howling winds, a system that was once hurricane Irene churned northeast Monday across the province and into Atlantic Canada.

But Canada appeared to emerge relatively unscathed from the remnants of the powerful hurricane that killed at least 35 people in 10 U.S. states. It left millions of Americans without power and thousands of flights were cancelled.

Brad Pitt saves woman on movie set

Brad Pitt saved a woman on the set of 'World War Z' from being trampled.

The 47-year-old actor was shooting battle scenes for the horror apocalypse movie in Glasgow, Scotland, with 700 extras when the actress fell to the ground in the melee.

Quick-thinking Brad scooped her up in his arms and put her back on her feet before she faced the risk of getting badly injured.

A source told the Scottish Sun newspaper: "Lots of people hurt themselves and Brad came to the rescue of one woman who slipped. I don't think she could believe it when Brad picked her up.

"He didn't have time to speak to her as it was mid-shoot. But she said afterwards how grateful she was, despite having a grazed knee."

Although the actress had her very own Hollywood hero to save her, many of the other extras weren't so lucky and were left with injuries following the dangerous battle scene.

What Your Birth Order Says About You

Whether you're very close to all your 47 siblings or your sister leads a secret life, your siblings are by far the most influential people in your life — more so than your parents, your husband, your own children. So says Time science writer Jeffrey Kluger, who mined the latest research on sibling relationships for his new book, The Sibling Effect. Conventional wisdom says that siblings are "essentially fungible, interchangeable people," says Kluger. "But in terms of the fundamental ways you're shaped, I don't think anything touches siblings. From the time we're born, they're our collaborators and coconspirators, our role models and our cautionary tales. Our own children arrive comparatively late in our lives; our parents leave us too early." We asked Kluger for other insights into brothers and sisters.
