Cheyenne, Wyoming Highlight - Terry Bison Ranch
If you are driving through Wyoming, Terry Bison Ranch is a must do. Visitor are allowed to roam the ranch and enjoy the environment at their own pace. The best way to share this experience is through pictures so that is what I will do accompanied by short commentaries. We stayed in the RV park and there is no addition fee to explore the area unless you wish to partake in the bison tour.
Brenda MahlerPublished 7 months ago in WanderUse the Power of Questions to Prompt Writing Topics
Traveling, visiting landmarks and eating cuisine of new regions ignites my senses. However, getting to the destination tests my patience. During the hours of driving, my interest wanes requiring me to get creative to stay awake. First up is the alphabet game. Once each letter has been spotted on road signs, I begin to find a license plate from every state in the union. Then I torment my husband by exclaiming, “I spy!” and describing some obscure item. He plays along until we both lose interest and move onto other stimulating games like listing animals whose names start with every letter of the alphabet.
Brenda MahlerPublished 8 months ago in WanderAn invitation to venture Beyond the Border...
Why listen to a story? You know the answer right away. Because you want to know what happens next — because you want to be swept away — because you want to be taken out of yourself to other worlds, mythical and true. Stories connect us to our deepest selves; at heart, we all know that. It’s why you’re reading this here on Vocal, after all: Vocal is a home for storytelling.

Reading up about the small beach town of Hopkins before we went, it sounded like there were lots of things to do. Technically, there is, but the problem is you can’t get to any of them!
Sh*t Happens - Lost Girl TravelPublished 9 months ago in Wander5 Must-See Destinations in Greece (Excluding the Islands)
Around this time, I'm at the halfway point of my Greece road trip with the next stop: Olympia! After my fantastic experience in Arachova and Delphi, I thought any Greek destination afterward would not compare. However, as the least athletic girl in the world, Olympia proved that I could get excited about sports and humbled me.
Crystal A. WolfePublished 10 months ago in WanderMost travel bloggers give the worst advice: spending a week in the birthplace of humanity.
I just read an article on Colombia and traveling here that was the worst advice I have ever read, and it was by a very, very, very popular OG travel blogger.
sara burdickPublished 10 months ago in WanderTulip Town
I challenged myself upon arriving to Washington State that every week I was going to do something. Whether that being big or small, I just did not want to stay home. After working with my therapist, we developed healthy coping mechanisms for helping me manage my mental health issues, because staying at home and sleeping in bed all day is not an option.
Kayla LindleyPublished 11 months ago in WanderA Fortnight in Finland: From Snowy Sights to the Northern Lights
Space and time are intimately entwined. I read up on this — on spacetime — a lot during my time in the snow-dipped space of Yllas, northern Finland. Two of the four books I took with me for my 14-day stay; Space, 10 Things You Should Know and Time, 10 Things You Should Know enlightened me on exactly how one influences — exists because of — the other.
The Spear and the Watch
Unexpected grab outta nowhere! The man nearly bowled me over in his enthusiasm. He grabbed my wrist and twisted my arm to an awkward angle. Since I’d been standing like a dorky penguin with hands clasped behind my back and peering downward in a Snoopyish vulture stance, knocking me over would have been easy for anyone. However, this man loomed high above me with his at least six-foot seven frame. Though he was lanky like virtually all of the Nilotic peoples he was all muscle, distilled by a childlike expression of awe and delight across his outrageously handsome face.

Zaura RizkyaPublished about a year ago in WanderThe Arthur's Seat Failure
Introduction I had intended to try to climb Arthur’s Seat in Edinburgh on my current visit to actually do the climb and get some photographs from the summit. I do like being up a height (even though I have a fear of heights) just to prove to myself that I can do it. At the end of this story are two other stories documenting my climbing exploits (successes and failures) in Edinburgh which you may find interesting if you enjoy my ramblings in this particular piece.
