Downeast. Runner-Up in Twenty-Four Hours Challenge.
For as long as I can remember, my family has gone up to Branch Lake in Ellsworth, Maine for some amount of the summer. My grandparents owned a camp there and my mother spent much of her childhood there. My family rented a camp for a period of time each summer before purchasing our own.

My Day, My Way. Runner-Up in Twenty-Four Hours Challenge.
Want to spend a day with me? Let’s see what my perfect twenty-four hours look like. I’m retired, so I’ll stay in bed until I feel like getting up. When I wake up, I will doze for a bit before waking again. Then I’ll lie there a while, letting random thoughts float through my mind. After reciting what day it is, I'll decide the order of my perfect day. I won’t make myself get up early and get busy. I will move slowly and deliberately, breathing deeply. When I get out of bed, I must first push up the blackout shades; then the glorious morning greets me through the window.

"There Are Wolves Up There!"
My professor friend K and I went for a hike to the mountains around the town of Mestia in Svaneti, the highest region in Georgia. We wanted to see the Koruldi Lakes near the glacier at the foot of the two-peak Ushba mountain of the Greater Caucasus Range separating Georgia and Russia.

A Day In Settle
Introduction Settle is a favourite holiday haunt of ours. The first time we stayed we brought a car. It was parked, and it never moved til we left. Since then we have stayed for a week or two each year, getting there by train from Newcastle to Carlisle, then Carlisle to Settle over the Ribblehead Viaduct.

Three Reasons Why I Love Settle
Whenever I go on holiday I always track down places of interest to visit. This is one of the reasons I love coming to Settle. I take April Cottage at the bottom of Castlebergh Crag, and this is a quick rail journey to The Huntress of Skipton Castle Woods by train (a wonderful Willow sculpture by Anna Cross).

7 Days in Morocco Changed the Way I See Travel Forever. AI-Generated.
7 Days in Morocco Changed the Way I See Travel Forever I had dreamed about visiting Morocco for a very long time before this journey finally happened. Every time I opened Instagram, Pinterest, or travel blogs, I kept seeing photos of the Sahara Desert, colorful Moroccan markets, blue streets in Chefchaouen, and travelers riding camels during sunset. Morocco looked completely different from the places I had already visited in Europe. It looked more alive, more emotional, and more authentic. I wanted to experience the culture, taste the food, meet local people, and see if the famous Sahara Desert was really as magical as travelers described online. So finally, after years of thinking about it, I booked a 7 days Morocco tour from Casablanca, and honestly, it became one of the best travel experiences of my entire life. Morocco surprised me every single day with its landscapes, its people, its traditions, and the feeling that every place had its own unique soul. This was not just another vacation where you take photos and move on. It became one of those rare trips that stay inside your memory long after returning home.

Chilling With Elephants in Sri Lanka
“Colombo? Where’s Colombo?” I said. “It’s the capital city of Sri Lanka, an island in the Indian Ocean immediately south of the mainland,” my partner replied. Sri Lanka is a melting pot of colonizers and cultures, Portuguese, Dutch and finally the British who developed a lucrative trade in tea when Sri Lanka was called Ceylon. We were in Sri Lanka not for tea but for elephants.
