A Desert Oasis
Of all the places I’ve traveled to so far, Havasupai holds a special place in my heart; a place that heightened my sense of wander. I have never backpacked, let alone hiked strenuous miles to a magical place before.
Krystal ChubirkaPublished 4 years ago in WanderSecret tunnels and surfers: Why you need to visit Austria’s Almkanal
The Almkanal winds unobtrusively through Salzburg. Most tourists don’t stumble across it at all, despite the fact it flows straight into the heart of the city. But the locals know that the walk along the canal is one of the most beautiful in town. A stroll along this historic waterway isn’t just a treat for the eyes; there’s a rich history waiting to be discovered here too.

Saif NajjarPublished 4 years ago in WanderLoving the Color of Nature
Mother Nature is the grand creator. From the bountiful trees that produce the oxygen we desperately need to breathe, the river and streams we drink, foods we eat, and medicine we use to treat. She bestows upon us the gift of life, despite the unappreciation and mistreatment from the humans she graciously supports. Selflessly, nature continues to provide everything we need to survive and thrive.

Jaymie SuhPublished 4 years ago in WanderThe Proverbial Easter Storm Never Misses
Easter is the first Sunday after the first full moon after the Spring Equinox,(March 21). This is why it can come as early as the third Sunday in March and as late as the fourth Sunday in April. As a child growing up in the 1960's I heard my grandma say something every year that pertained to this annual event that seems to be true. Every time there was rain, hail, snow flurries, cold temperatures and or wind she would say that it was the Easter storm. I began to pay attention and sure enough, in our neck of the woods there would always be an abrupt change in the weather within the week before or the week after Easter Sunday, I have see periods of time where there was rain for more than a week, or extreme heat for weeks at a time during other seasons, but there s always a storm just before or after the Sunday when Christians celebrate the Resurrection of Christ.
Cheryl E PrestonPublished 4 years ago in WanderTrees Are an Essential Part of Our Life Experience
Trees are not just a key to the natural ecosystem; they are an essential part of our life experience. From majestic individual trees that have historical significance or to a quiet grove of greenery, we seek for solitude; trees enrich our life experience only by just being there. Trees are the longest-lived and most substantial plant form on Earth, and throughout recorded history, trees have been acknowledged as symbols of power, wisdom, fertility, and life.

People who have spent some time in Montana tell eerie tales of the warm winter winds. Have you ever experienced a chinook? If so, you surely remember the sudden change in the weather. A dismal, gray, snowy day, and suddenly everything doesn't look quite so bleak. A bit of sunshine breaks through the dark cloud cover, and the day begins to brighten. A frigid cold day warms.
Marlene AffeldPublished 4 years ago in WanderFive Places to see in Manila, Philippines
I barely remember visiting the Philippines when I was 12 years old. That was over 30 years ago. So much has changed, especially in my mom's hometown. It was very breathtaking. My first take when we arrived is how busy the city is even at night. There are so many motorcycles everywhere. It had the typical city vibe but in a very relaxed way.
