 Interview with Lorie Karnath

President of the Explorer's Club

The Explorers Club is a private club that began in Manhattan in 1904. Since its inception members have included everyone from Charles Lindbergh to Neal Armstrong and presidents Teddy Roosevelt, Franklin Roosevelt and Herbert Hoover. The club, which is housed in an old mansion on the Upper East Side, features exotic artifacts from expeditions that have taken place as far away as the moon and an impressive rare book library with over 15,000 volumes on exploration and travel.

Since 2009, Lorie Karnath has presided over the club as president. In addition to being a children’s book author and patron of the arts, Lorie has traveled the world setting up programs that help foster creativity, discovery and science. She has led several Explorers Club Flag expeditions, covering some of the Earth’s most remote locations in search of answers to the world’s most perplexing environmental concerns. Her most recent expedition involved following the migration patterns of white storks, for which she went on to create a German sanctuary. 

The Explorer's Club is full of all sorts of stories and rituals in which members gather a few times a year to share the lore of their past adventures, plan future expeditions and compare notes on their recent discoveries. In addition to "members only" events the club offers a public events calendar in which anyone can sit in on presentations and screenings hosted by the likes of astronauts and the world’s most accomplished scientists and explorers.

Adventure tourism is quickly becoming one of the world's most popular forms of travel and entertainment. From scuba-diving expeditions off  the coast of Fiji to volcano hikes through the jungles of Hawaii, there are millions of adventures to be had in all reaches of the globe. However, finding appropriate, and affordable accommodations can be difficult, especially if you'll be traveling with a lot of gear. Enter timeshares. These properties tend to be larger and can accommodate more vacationers than hotel rooms. So traveling with your climbing or biking group, and finding a place for your gear is taken care of.  And contrary to popular belief, these vacation properties wont tie you down to one location. Rather, they're extremely flexible and tradeable, allowing owners to travel to thousands of destinations all over the year, for one consistent annual or biennial rate. Programs like RCI Points  allow owners to select a different destination each year, so your adventurous spirit will never feel stifled. Whether you purchase a Nassau timeshare to snorkel with tropical fish, or a Thailand timeshare to explore the ancient culture, a vacation property is the perfect way to explore a new and exciting destination year after year.
