Wilderness might not be everyone’s description of luxury, but it does provide for an intimate and unforgettable escape from the ordinary
Wilderness also doesn’t always mean ‘roughing it’
Only 23 percent of the world’s land surface (excluding Antarctica) can be considered wilderness and most of that wilderness (70%) is in only 5 countries – Russia, Canada, Australia, United States (all in Alaska) and Brazil.
