One of the regular departments we created for Afar magazine is "Spin the Globe." The idea is literally to spin a globe to pick a destination at random and send a writer there unprepared. It's all about the joy and spontaneity of traveling without an itinerary.
Well, as you can imagine, you can't predict what will happen with an approach like that, and, of course, that's part of the fun. In Afar's March/April issue, the Spin department took writer-actor Andrew McCarthy to Ethiopia where he explored the amazing underground churches of Lalibela. And promptly got arrested.
Check out the video, then read how People.com hyped the mishap. And you can buy the issue, on sale Feb 9.
