Oklahoma Indian Coupe All of the Earth is sacred. She is a woman. She is our Mother. She is the physical manifestation of Mother Divine. When She gives to us, we must give to Her in return. When we take from a plant, we must give thanks. When we cut down a tree, we must replant another. We must replenish, not kill... not trees, not water, not animals, not each other. Knowing this sacred way of life is what gave impetus to the original game of Indian Coupe.

Besides the dread and confusion of work visas and language barriers, working in another country can be an incredible experience. Not only is experiencing other cultures a humbling and exciting experience, it’s also known to enhance learning and adaptability. Studies show that learning about other cultures is a critical component of the adaptation process, and it adds value to creativity. By working in another country, you’re not only experiencing the lifestyle of others—you’re also opening yourself up to a world of opportunities.
Pam JannesPublished 5 years ago in WanderThe Beautiful Side of Religious Tourism
No doubt, tourism brings significant economic benefits for local communities and residents. It preserves and protects the natural environment and ensures compliance with customs, traditions and cultural heritage. In addition to these benefits for tourism development, the main foredeal of tourism is the national income generated. Tourism in general has become very global because religious tourism has also integrated into this sector.

Hi guys (hand wave emoji) :). Thanks for reading my first Vocal Media post. I really appreciate it! :) Vidaadi was an old article I had written way back in 2016, during my trip to Azerbaijan. I wanted to start with this one, as it is the article that impacted me the most, and made me want to write more. It had a great reaction on an Azerbaijani blog website. The article below hasn't been edited since 2016, so bear with me with the grammar and spelling mistakes. I promise—I got better. ;)

Adapt to their fantastic coffee culture. When in Rome do as the Romans do. This means not asking for a caramel macchiato or frappuccino. The closest you'll get to a traditional cold drink is coffee shaken over ice (which is then sometimes strained out). 9/10 times if you ask for a latte, you're just going to get a cup of steamed milk.

Darryl C. RichiePublished 5 years ago in WanderHay Vida en Las Calles (There Is Life in the Streets)
During my visit to Salento, Colombia, a beautiful town located in the foothills below the Andes Mountains, and adjacent to the famous Cocora Valley, I picked up on a slogan that I found very endearing and memorable. “Hay vida en las calles” was posted on an advertisement on one of the vendors there who was dishing out ice cream, snacks, and other goodies. “Hay vida en las calles” translates to the English language as “There is life in the streets,” and I found that to be a very positive sign, and one that gets people out of their homes and into the parks, squares, and plazas where the basis of all community life is formed. While life in the streets cannot be found everywhere, I found this prevalent attitude consistent in many towns and cities during my travels in Latin America.
The Stylish Traditional Art of Ngmayem Festival, Ghana
So I arrived at the grounds with so many expectations. I had followed and watched highlights of the Ngmayem festival on television. I was so anxious to be a part of it. Of course, I expected a huge crowd, but thankfully, the crowd control barrier was there to calm things down. A melodious sound interspersed with songspiel welcomed me to the grounds of the Ngmayem festival.
