Tourism in Carmel, CA
I adore Carmel because it is so walkable. You can park the car and part ways with it for much of the weekend. It is in some ways the jewel of Monterey County. The downtown is full of tasting rooms, it is easy to get to the beach and there are some great restaurants. And the hiking at Pt. Lobos State Park offers some astounding views.

Driving Cross Country for Dummies
Driving across the country seems scary, seems like a massive, and impossible trip. However when I was 19 years old, I took on this so called crazy drive, in the middle of winter, in a punch buggy, with just my dog and not to brag but we survived!

Will We Ever Vacation on Mars?
It's a mere dot in the night sky, nothing more than a speck 2,106 miles away from us, holding up two satellites of its own while spinning at about 24 kilometers per second. Mars, the red terrestrial planet whose very existence has given us both a feeling of literal warmth and extreme high hopes, unfortunately has an atmospheric pressure of 0.636 kilopascal and a composition rating of 95 percent carbon dioxide. Add that to the near extreme distance of utter darkness separating it from us, Mars oftentimes seems like a singular part of our own existence yet to be accurately unraveled.

Hopkinsville Kentucky
Its always been my dream to travel and write while I travel. I first thought of this dream in July 2012 while sitting on the steps by an inside fountain at Gaylord Opry Land Hotel in Nashville, TN but, let's not get to carried away.

Why Travelling Is the Greatest Investment
As many of my friends and acquaintances know, I am an avid traveller. At the current age of 26 years, I have visited over 20 cities in 14 different countries across North America, Central America, the Caribbean, Europe and Africa. I can tell you it has been the greatest investment in my life to travel as much as I have thus far.

Walking Through History
Unexpectedly, I found myself walking through literary London, right past the blue plaque commemorating the Bloomsbury Group. On a foggy day, it’s like being back in the early 20th century; you can practically hear them scribbling away behind the white walls of the Edwardian homes on Gordon Square. Not far away on Woburn Walk is William Butler Yates’s old house, and just around the corner in Cartwright Gardens is where Percy Bysshe Shelley and Mary Shelley made their home.

Bridgewater, NS
An hour and fifteen minutes away from the city of Halifax lies the small town of Bridgewater. Emphasis on the small. As in public transit is a brand new advancement, a single main drag to speak of, and the Cinaplex Theatre being the most popular hang out spot for the younger generations. But regardless, it offers the best atmosphere for those looking for a break from the hustle and bustle of the city. With the cozy streets, and the ginormous old multi-generational Victorian homes, as well as the much needed Tim Horton's on the corner of High Street and Victoria Road, Bridgewater is completely serendipitous.

You Can Surf in the Great Lakes?
A powerful crescendo grew until the momentum became too much to contain and it ruptured with a thunderous crash. As I stood on the shore, I listened to wave after wave break in the vast body of water that spread from the tips of my toes all the way to the opposite horizon. For as long as I could remember, on days when rain clouds filled the sky and wind filled the air, I had stood on that shore and watched the waves crash. But this time was different. This time, the waves were inviting me to have an adventure. And so it began as I paddled out on my surfboard.

I Am Adventure
I am adventure. For many of us Millennials, life is a little complicated. We’re that “still-figuring-it-out-whilst-pretending-to-look-like-we’ve-got-it-sorted” generation and in the midst of being suffocated by all the Valencia-filtered Insta posts and the incessant motivational quotes I think we lose sight of adventure. Real adventure.

The Price of Being A Foreigner in India
My pale skin-tone, shiny blonde hair, and crystal clear blue eyes can be quite a different sight than what many Delhi locals are used to seeing. Due to this fact, no matter my whereabouts, I had attracted the attention of many locals.

Most Charming Route 66 Tourist Attractions Worth Seeing
Nat King Cole famously sang "get your kicks on Route 66" and this has never been truer as I attempt to rundown the best Route 66 tourist attractions around. The road itself runs from Chicago to Los Angeles and is often considered to be one of the most fascinating and historic routes in the whole of the United States. It was constructed and paved back in 1926 and since then has become a focal point of popular culture, as well as being host to some of the most interesting and exciting points of interest in America. The most charming Route 66 tourist attractions worth seeing are quirky, beautiful, and delicious!
