St. Mary's Island

These islands aren't just any islands; they're a geological marvel that has remained a well-kept secret of nature's most incredible handiwork. Picture basalt rock formations that seem straight out of an otherworldly landscape, mesmerizing columnar joints, and striking hexagonal-shaped pillars that defy imagination.

The Brushstroke of Time. Content Warning.
In the charming town of Willowbrook, nestled on the banks of a tranquil river, there stood a centuries-old art gallery known as "The Brushstroke of Time." It was a place where art came to life in the most unexpected way, and where the past and present danced together through the magical power of time travel. This is the story of a gallery that held secrets as vivid as the paintings it showcased and a mystery that transcended the boundaries of time itself.

What to know before visiting Iquitos, Peru
Red/Green lights or any form of a stop sign is a suggestion. There are so many moto-taxis. I feel like I am in southeast Asia, and it is so loud that I have not heard myself think for at least a week. Even in the hostel and at night!

Popular Places to Travel
Almost all countries are finally open for tourism! I hope that in 2023 you can safely travel to some new places in our beautiful world. We'll begin with the Portuguese island of Madeira, located in Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Africa. Madeira is often called the Hawaii Europe, because the island was born of volcanic origins. If you love hiking or just relaxing on the beach, Madeira is the place for you. Punta du Sol is a great place for swimming. There is no sand, only smooth Boulders, but the ocean is amazing to swim in. A great place to go cliff jumping is Pico de Arriero, one of the tallest points on the island. The elevation is so high up until you will often be in or above the clouds. The hiking there is a sight to see. The trails are so well maintained, you get some of the most phenomenal views. Pico Dugato is nice if you're up for an adventure.
