Date Night in the Carolinas
There is nothing like a memorable date. One thing that makes date night even more special is where you have that magical date night. Location is very important in making your date night magical.

Traveling is a passion of mine. When I visit a new location whether it is a new city, state, or country I always try to do something new. I am adventurous; I will try anything, at least once. My new adventure has been that I recently moved to Colorado Springs. I am still going to travel to other states, because it is a goal of mine to visit all 50 states but the great thing about Colorado is that there is so much to do within the state that I live in. From Colorado Springs to the entrance to the Rocky Mountain National Park is around an hour and forty-five minutes depending on traffic. (Side note — do not try to head to the park and leave the park during rush hours. We left there around 4:30, getting us stuck in the 5 o’clock traffic — adding an extra hour to our drive home.) If you are lucky enough to live in Colorado or visit here, I highly recommend staying near Estes Park or Boulder.
Megan MyersPublished 6 years ago in WanderPeles Castle: Worth Visiting
The "Peles Castle" is one of Romania's most prized and visited edifice. Its beauty is remarkable and it is worth visiting and taking your time to embrace it. It has an impressing architecture and collections of furniture, sculptures and paintings to match it. While you will wonder throw those halls you will feel like you were taken back in time. It also has a history to match its splendour. So let's go back 144 years ago to the moment when the construction of the castle first started and the reasons why it was built.

I adore Carmel because it is so walkable. You can park the car and part ways with it for much of the weekend. It is in some ways the jewel of Monterey County. The downtown is full of tasting rooms, it is easy to get to the beach and there are some great restaurants. And the hiking at Pt. Lobos State Park offers some astounding views.

An hour and fifteen minutes away from the city of Halifax lies the small town of Bridgewater. Emphasis on the small. As in public transit is a brand new advancement, a single main drag to speak of, and the Cinaplex Theatre being the most popular hang out spot for the younger generations. But regardless, it offers the best atmosphere for those looking for a break from the hustle and bustle of the city. With the cozy streets, and the ginormous old multi-generational Victorian homes, as well as the much needed Tim Horton's on the corner of High Street and Victoria Road, Bridgewater is completely serendipitous.

As Beijing springs into the 21st century, the city’s grandiose ancient architecture could at times be easily forgotten. However, when it comes to its stunning historical panorama, few cities or even countries on this planet could even remotely compete with the Chinese capital.

On the state line between Nevada and Utah lies the Bonneville Salt Flats. Recently, Mike and I had the pleasure of visiting this amazing place. From things I have read, I could only fathom the expanse of this place but to feel it in person is unbelievable.

It’s hard to imagine Italy without amore — and harder still to imagine Florence, the epicenter of Italian romance, without its legendary backdrops. Indeed, with all her many charms and beguiling ways, Firenze has a way of taking hold of your heart and never letting go.

Fall in Love with London
London has always been a huge tourist destination in Western Europe. It is a city that has been featured hundreds of times in both film and TV. London is a place that anybody can visualize and tell you at least one monument that resides there. However, you can't truly understand the city until you have touched it, felt it, and of course seen it for yourself.
