ROVA Adventure Twelve has changed things up slightly—or rather, we’ve added a couple of rad new features! First, we have hand-drawn postcards for you to tear out and send to your buddies. Second, there’s a brand-new international section, with this edition featuring Costa Rica.

Also in Adventure Twelve, find some rock-climbing inspiration, discover the South’s hidden history, meet a road-tripper who runs her quilting business from her Airstream, find out how it feels to quit a job to live a better life, and check out this edition’s photo essay on crystal hunting.

And, as usual, follow our contributors around the country; in this edition, they head to Alaska, Nevada, Oklahoma, Illinois, Charleston and Connecticut.
