Couples Travel–There's nothing quite like exploring the world with your significant other, though it has its challenges.
Kauai
We opted to take the red eye flight out of Vegas to Kauai to make sure we could take advantage of as much of each day of the trip. To those worried about not being able to sleep on the flight, no worries. Kauai has some of the best coffee in the world grown right on island—enjoy! Landing on Kauai with our first beach stop at Poli Hali, naturally we picked the beach with a four-mile dirt road entry as the very first spot to head! We enjoyed a few hours of decently aggressive shorebreak with maybe another six people within sight along over 14 miles of beautiful beach. This beach is actually only a few miles away from our next destination: the Napoli Coast, back behind those rather large volcanic cliffs in the background of the photo below:
Jaclyn HeddenPublished 7 years ago in WanderWhat's That Smell?
We all know with every country comes its own quirky customs and cultures. Us Brits are the best for forcing our superior traditions on to "foreigners" with such barefaced yet subliminal effort. But the nation I've come to speak of today is a nation that has many customs that are widely accepted ways of behaving, but ones to which I find particularly strange. In what world is it normal to leave babies outside in sub zero temperatures? Nor is it appetising to eat the flesh of fish marinated in piss?
Charli KnightPublished 7 years ago in WanderBest Honeymoon Locations Ever
There was a time in history where honeymooners never left the house. In the 19th century, a honeymoon was a month-long period of time after the wedding where couples would just get to know one another at home, without working or having to do much. However, honeymoons have changed over the year, and now they're seen as an opportunity to travel the world with your sweetie.

The first thought that comes to mind when thinking of coffee is gasoline. "America runs on Dunkin,” is something you’ve most likely heard. It would seem this black liquid has devolved into nothing more than a required fuel in our society. Picture this: Monday morning commute. Bumper-to-bumper traffic on a highway at 7 AM. Angry and frustrated motorists, all weaving in and out of haphazardly-organized lanes to arrive at their destinations.

Much like there may be a race to see the most expensive cocktails ever made, there's currently a race among resorts to see who can create the most luxurious resort vacation packages. These packages are designed to be hyper exclusive and insanely costly.
Ossiana TepfenhartPublished 7 years ago in WanderStay Safe with Defenselessness
As so many people and/or nations gear up for battle, denounce “others” as the enemy, and contract with fear, we need to take a deep breath and reflect on our situations from a very different, and much more helpful, point of view. We cannot hear too many times that defensiveness does not make us safe; quite the contrary. Many disciplines remind us that only when we are open and accepting, rather than closed and suspicious, are we truly safe. Long ago my husband and I had an opportunity to put this philosophy to the test, one I will never forget. We were touring several South American countries, including Ecuador. As we had planned our trip (pre-internet), I remembered reading in National Geographic about a tribe of indians that lived only in a small area of Ecuador and nowhere else in the world. Dubbed the Colorado Indians, they were so named because they painted themselves up with red berry juice (Colorado in common usage means “colored red” in Spanish), and since we were from Colorado, it seemed like a great idea to find these name-sake Colorado indians and have a look for ourselves.

One of the newest trends that involves celebrating growing families is the invention of the babymoon vacation. A babymoon is a lot like a honeymoon in many senses; it's a vacation taken together by couples to celebrate their romance and love of one another. They are both romantic vacations that involve a nice respite from the world - however, with babymoons, the couple is expecting a new baby within a matter of months.

If you are gay, lesbian, or trans, planning a vacation can be difficult. In fact, going to the wrong country with your partner can result in you being hurt, charged with a crime, or even killed. Additionally, discrimination is always an issue - even in cities that are supposedly cool with LGBTQ couples.

Traveling Earth
What I haven't traveled anywhere in 18 months. Wrapped up in work, bills, necessities and day to day shenanigans, life potentially eliminated a wise all vacation trip. Intelligence is expanded when there are global interactions, conversations had, various foods and settings are altered. Seeing the world in its many forms is a necessity for me before I leave this world. It's been a very long time that I have traveled anywhere. To add to it, I've never left the country. The time has truly come that I put away with my own personal travel ban. Before we are all stranded and not allowed to leave and respective homelands, there's a imperative need to put the wheels on the travel van. It's time that I get out and venture into different corners of the world. Visiting different parts of this great country that I haven't seen is always exciting. Still have never been to California nor New York. D.C was a joy last time I was there but that was during the teen years. Last all out vacation was Myrtle Beach back in 2015, first time visit. Being it was late in the year, the town was quite empty, beach was still little warm overall very fun time.
Joe RussellPublished 7 years ago in WanderNorth To Alaska
They say taking the road less traveled and off the beaten path brings a sense of reverence and humility toward life that one would miss entirely if they proceeded on to that beaten path. Through-out my entire life the path I have always chosen has been the road less traveled. Sometimes I got in trouble but through it all the paths I have taken only brought out the inner strength of character along with a keen awareness of the sanctity of life that would have laid doormat otherwise. My travels to the far corners of the globe have also given me a unique perspective for different cultures and a deeper respect for their way of life. But, in all of those travels the one place that holds me captive with its natural beauty and sheer majesty where so much of the land is virtually untouched by man is in America's "Last Frontier" Alaska.

The King's Day national holiday commemorates the birthday of the King of the Netherlands on 30th April and serves as a symbol for patriotism and national unity. The night before King's Day is also celebrated in some Dutch cities. Keeping with convention, it’s known as King's Night and the largest of these celebrations takes place in Amsterdam where many of the restaurants, bars and clubs will remain open throughout the night.
