This particular day was BEAUTIFUL...all emphasis intended!

You may wonder what Singapore is like. You may have heard the good and the bad of it. I believe that Singapore is one of the greatest cities in the world and everyone should at least visit once in their lifetime before your last breath. There are so many beautiful places to see and eat. No matter how small the country or the negative aspects you have been told. They are wrong. Even as a local, there are places to explore and places you have not been to.

Vancouver is a beautiful city located on Canada's Pacific coast in the province of British Columbia. Sandwiched between mountains on one side and beaches on the other, it offers visitors a wide variety of unforgettable experiences for the whole family. Vancouver is a few hours north of Seattle, Washington, and in many ways the cultures are similar. In other words, Vancouver is a haven for outdoorsy types as well as those who enjoy vibrant nightlife and an eclectic restaurant and shopping scene.

As the crow flies, or given the location, as the seagull flies, the distance from Durlston Castle to Anvil Point Lighthouse is about 1000 metres. Without any foreknowledge the walker can see the lighthouse from the castle and, as in my case, set off in high expectation of a reasonable walk.

So, you might be reading this upon reflection of your recent wanderlust adventures. Remembering those nights under skies and stars. Those passing days that mingled perfectly; its fulfilment and satisfaction based entirely around the square parameters of a city map in the palm of your hand. You are craving it again. To be out there in the wilderness, happily lost amidst the perfect chaos of it all. Where nobody knows who you are, nor do they care or expect anything from you but a passing smile on the streets of somewhere. Well let me tell you, that feeling that you keep homing in on constantly is not a negative one at all. It's your inner consciousness coming out, giving you a navigation to who you actually are. It’s as if the inner chemistry of your body repels the connections that it has already sought and lived through before; the paleo pull is dramatically pulling you elsewhere. But the question is to where, why and what is the journey like ahead for those who cannot remain in one place for too long?

Everyone should travel solo at least once in their life. It is a very rewarding experience that will leave the traveler feeling more confident and capable. Recently, I went on my very first solo travel trip but it took me a few months to feel comfortable enough to travel on my own. I get it, traveling alone can be scary especially if you are a woman. In fact, if someone had asked me two years ago if I would ever travel alone my answer would have been a definite "no". But oh how the times have changed. I have compiled a list of the top five biggest reasons people (and my past self) are afraid to travel alone and how to get over that fear. Let me start by saying that there are so many reasons to travel solo and only a few keeping people from the world. People travel solo not because they can't find someone to go with them, but they make the conscious choice to do so. Even if you prefer to travel with someone else, life is too short to wait around for others.

On my first night in Amsterdam, I saw an interesting piece of street art through the window of the tram I was riding. It was written on the side of a building in huge letters:

THE WORLD AWAITS. Where will your next photo adventure take you? Based on weeks of reading travel and photography books, watching vloggers on YouTube, researching travel trends from tourism boards and considering world events over this past year, I've picked the planet’s 20 most exciting destinations (in my humble opinion) for 2020. So, grab your photo gear, pack your bags and let's go!

I grew up in Amsterdam, but have moved around the world ever since graduating secondary school. I know what you’re thinking...

You can fly to Majorca with the Travel Agency or you can arrange the trip yourself. Of course, as always, both solutions will have their supporters and opponents. From the entry about the Hotel you already know that we organized our trip by ourselves. So how to organize a trip to Majorca? And more importantly, what to see in Mallorca? This entry will be on the bank long, because although I tried very hard to limit the number of photos, I have the impression that on average it worked out. But it's only because these frames are just necessary here. They will say more than a thousand words.

Every city in this world has a unique vibe. Some have history. Some have fashion. Some have nature. Some have food. What if a city has an exceptionally extraordinary nightlife? And, what if you are a part of that imaginary night? Some cities in the world are splendid for the way its night rises in the sky. You can find the best drinks, alive and energetic nights, fun people, rocking dance floors, crazy music, bizarre crowd, overall, and an ultimate experience of life. You can forget about all the odds and live to the fullest amidst the cheering crowds and loud sounds.

Life can use a little Vitamin Sea. It brings a glow to the skin and a kiss to the nose. In Santa Monica there is not just beautiful beach, but for the fun, thrill seekers an amusement park is at their feet. The park is located on a peer over the ocean and giving amazing backdrops for photos from the rides.

When one thinks of Illinois, they mostly think of Chicago. Although it's well-known and big enough for someone to see something new down a street, it won't be the subject of my discussion. I shall, instead, be discussing one of the suburbs of the Chicagoland area: Oak Park.

NEVADA - After spending a somewhat lucrative casino filled nightlife in Reno, NV, my wife and I decided to rent a car and meander up the winding dry hills towards the emerald waters of Lake Tahoe. On the map, a historic stop intrigued us through the renowned "Old West" town of Virginia City.

You may wonder what Singapore is like. You may have heard the good and the bad of it. I believe that Singapore is one of the greatest cities in the world and everyone should at least visit once in their lifetime before your last breath. There are so many beautiful places to see and eat. No matter how small the country or the negative aspects you have been told. They are wrong. Even as a local, there are places to explore and places you have not been to.

Price Range: Moderate

Rawai is one of the nicest areas on Phuket in my opinion. It's quiet, the resorts I have stayed at there are reasonably priced and I never have had a problem finding really good Thai or Farang foods there. It is home to Rawai Landing Pier my number on pick for places to watch and photograph sunrises (see my article here) and several unnamed beaches along the west coast of Phuket that are quite nice and tourist free. Rawai Beach on the other hand is not even in my top ten favorite beaches on Phuket.

Price Range: Low to Moderate

So long story short...

Rockford is a vibrant city in Illinois, famous for its strategic location and fantastic landscape. The city goes by various names due to the number of physical features and beguiling landmarks it possesses. These include the forest city and the city of gardens. Rockford is always trending for all the right reasons. That is why it is an ideal place to visit or live.

Not just because of the sweet, lyrical and at times comical way the words roll off my tongue. Or the way it reminds me of those late nights held tightly in a handsome Italian's arms. I'm in love with Italian because of how the language is formed.

Over the years French style and the French way of life has been coveted by women the world over. In fact I would go as far as to say we are obsessed with the skinny, chic ladies from over the pond who know that they just have that ‘Je Ne Sais Quoi”.

All that Willa wants to do after she climbs Mount Meru is to treat herself at Pizza Hut. I was not very surprised to find a local in the area around Shoppers Supermarket, the Plaza. Around the area one could see parked Land Rovers, unusually clean and seemingly out of place, lacking the African Savannah in the background. Arusha Town is quite a different landscape to explore. It is bustling with cars and its walls remain peeled by unforgiving humidity. The windows oxidized by the tropical rains. It is an urban area that grew despite the biome that surrounds it. This part of nature did not expect to be paved over or built on top.

As the crow flies, or given the location, as the seagull flies, the distance from Durlston Castle to Anvil Point Lighthouse is about 1000 metres. Without any foreknowledge the walker can see the lighthouse from the castle and, as in my case, set off in high expectation of a reasonable walk.

Travelling by train is my second best choice of public transport. My first one is the tram, but that’s another story. Two days ago, I took an early train from cloudy Edinburgh and in 86 minutes, I magically landed in England. Sunny Newcastle upon Tyne, to be exact. I had pinned on GoogleMaps several places I didn’t want to miss, but I also left some room for improvisation.

On my first night in Amsterdam, I saw an interesting piece of street art through the window of the tram I was riding. It was written on the side of a building in huge letters:

Have you ever traveled alone? Especially in the places where you are warned not to go alone because of the safety issues?

Definitely not something I was thinking about in much depth when preparing for my first solo trip, but it was bound to happen at some point. Excitement, adrenaline, endorphins. All the best feelings that boil over in that restless long-haul flight into the unknown. On a completely unrelated note—Dad, please don't read this one.

Road trips are a perfect adventure you can plan with your girlfriends to have fun and see amazing places. You should start preparing for the trip at least a few days in advance so you make sure you have everything you need. It is important to have fun and enjoy the process, however, staying safe is a must. So, before you go, make sure everything is in order, and if you need help, read our little guide to figure out what you should keep an eye on.

A comprehensive climate change program isn’t exclusive to companies, it’s something we need to all apply to our individual lives. Carbon offsetting is one of the most popular methods of reducing your carbon footprint, but how do you make sure you’re doing it properly and in a way that has lasting benefits to the planet?

East Croydon.

One weekend in June I realized I was given a chance to tour the arctic but then the reality of it still hadn’t hit me yet & everyone was freaking out & excited about me wining this trip and going to Arctic but I was still meh but when I was 2–3 weeks out from going in august I started getting excited for it but also then I realized oh snap I won’t have any internet or cell service for the whole trip (2 weeks) in my 6–7 years of being on social media & constantly being connected for last 10 or so years my family & friends were like how will you survive will you go through withdrawal cause I had never experienced such a disconnection before

The grass, scorched and scratchy stems pricked the skin on my legs as I sat in the African red dust. The children on either side of me were holding my hands, their eyes wide in fascination as they traced their fingers up and down the blue and purple veins in my wrist. They poked every freckle, pinched my fingernails.

Kuala Lumpur – Where a trans woman can be in a public bathroom, fixing her lipstick in the mirror next to a Muslim woman adjusting her headscarf, without either woman feeling uncomfortable or threatened.

Marked as one of the most belligerent and happening events for queer men and women from across the globe, the Mardi Gras is unlike something you’ve ever seen before.

Havana, is a faster-paced city that is somewhat different than the stereotypical Caribbean islands. With the taxi speeding down the Malecon to take tourists around the city, it is a city that, thanks to some of the steps being taken, may open their doors to travelers from the United States and around the world. But there are a few things that you need to know as a potential tourist.

Europe is an exciting place for worldwide sailing holidays that offers you a lifetime of experience. Full of many sandy beaches, deserted landscapes, historic towns, luxurious resorts, and countless attractions in deep blue water sports, you can find thousands of cheap sailing destinations here to spend your summer vacations peacefully.

A BLACK SUMMARY

Fireworks can usually be found at important events and celebrations, from national holidays to weddings and birthdays. They are there to signify excitement and happiness, and sometimes they can be so big and shiny they seem to cover up the entire sky. So, if you enjoy these fun fire flowers, and you happen to love traveling as well, here are a few places you should visit if you’d like to see some of the best fireworks in the world.

It's time to talk about the dreaded blisters! The bane and fear of every Pilgrim on the Camino because who wants to suffer from blisters?

Monkey Sanctuary, Ubud

I fell for it. The whole struggling mom needs a hand at an airport in Cusco ruse. The ones your grandparents hear about on dateline & while they are telling you over Thanksgiving dinner you’re silently thinking “I’m not stupid enough to fall for that.

The world is an art form, different at every step and corner. In the North Pole, you see the frozen ice cap mountains, experience chilly air, and frozen lakes while in the South Pole you get the ultimate frozen mystery of Antarctica or extreme hot lands of Australia.

Before the birth of civilization and human civilization as we know it, humans made clans and roamed the world in nomadic clans. Now before we had countries and boundaries and world wars, people were simply looking for the best place that would tend to their needs along with the needs of their clansmen. So they took many years of roaming around the planet to find that resting place, people migrated from one place to the other depending on the weather of places. This wandering was done on foot and if not on foot people used horses and other such animals to help them look for their homeland.

I don't know about you, but when I fly I love having a window seat. I'll do whatever I can to make sure I get that window seat. When flying out of the county I just knew I had to get that window seat. 13-hour flight? That's fine, I have a window seat, I'll be comfortable. Boy was I wrong.
