  • Cultural Immersion: Embracing Diversity Through Travel

    Imagine embarking on a journey that not only takes you miles away from home but also deep into the essence of what it means to be a part of this vast mosaic of human culture. Travel, in its most transformative form, invites us to step into the shoes of others to see the world through a lens tinted with the colors of diverse traditions, languages, and ways of life.

    This isn’t just about ticking destinations off a list; it’s about weaving yourself into the fabric of each place you visit, allowing every dance, meal, and conversation to etch itself into your understanding of the world.

    Join us as we explore how travel can be more than just an adventure – it can be an embrace, opening our arms wide to the diversity that makes this world endlessly fascinating!

  • Goodreads Reviews I Left for Myself While Writing My Book

    ★★★

    Idea Has Potential.

    I don’t hate the idea of this book. It feels like the author (full disclosure: it me) doesn’t really have a clear idea of it, and instead of writing the book they keep getting distracted and reading about dysfunctional relationships on reddit. I keep calling it a “book proposal” even though it mostly consists of a bunch of post-its and random sentences scribbled on the back of Rite-Aid receipts, but it’s not … bad? It feels way better than the author’s other previous DNF post-it-note book ideas.

    ★★★½

    A Vast Improvement!

    I started writing on my computer?! (This makes the “proposal” as I insist on calling it, much easier to read). I had previously said that I “didn’t want to do that” because it was “too intimidating” which is a certifiably bonkers thing for a writer to say. You shouldn’t be afraid of the thing

    10 Quick Tips for Improving Your Wildlife Photography Today

    Wildlife photography is one of the most rewarding pursuits a photographer can explore. It is also among the most challenging. Wild animals don’t pose for the camera like models. They don’t warn you when a “Kodak moment” is about to happen. 

    To help you take beautiful wildlife photos fit for National Geographic, try our 10 quick tips on your next shoot.

    Tip #1: Get to Know Your Subject

    If your objective is to get shots of a particular animal (say, manatees, for example), it will help a lot to do some research about your subject in advance of your shoot. What time of day are they most active? Do they travel in groups or solo? Will you find them on open, grassy plains or amid the trees? Will it be possible to get right up close to them?

    By answering these sorts of questions, you’ll be able to tailor your approach

  • How To Tune In To Your Wanderlust Travel Style

    Wanderlust is more than a mere word; it’s an incessant calling from adventurers and dreamers alike. No matter your travel preferences – solo vs group travel; international vs domestic travel can lead to vastly different experiences. So let’s embark on an exploratory literary journey to uncover solo, group, and virtual travel and determine which meets our thirst for exploration best.

    Considerations When Traveling Solo Solo Travel and Its Freedom 

    Solo travel’s essence lies in its unbridled freedom. When traversing the globe alone, your journey becomes entirely self-directed with each decision and discovery becoming part of its narrative. Traveling alone allows for spontaneous detours and unfettered curiosity where only your limits define your adventure. Yet this independence also comes with increased personal responsibility regarding both safety and logistics. An experience both exciting and daunting at the same time!

    Solo Travel and Solitude 

    While solo travel offers opportunities for discovery and serendipity,

  • 6 Tips for Travelling by Bus Across the USA

    Travelling by bus can be an effective way to see the sights or simply get to your preferred destination in a timely and affordable manner. However, as with any other mode of transportation, you’ll need to have a plan in place to ensure that you get to your destination safely and with all your belongings. 

    Keep Luggage to a Minimum

    Ideally, you will pack as light as possible to avoid losing items or having them stolen while on your trip. Packing as light as possible can also help to minimize luggage fees or other burdens associated with lugging around multiple suitcases.

    Before booking your bus tickets online take inventory of everything you intend to bring on the trip. If possible, try to bring only what will fit into a single rolling suitcase or backpack. If necessary, you can bring a backpack onto the bus that has items that you’ll need

  • Avid Adventure Traveller Looking for Sunglasses? These are the Best Ones for the Job

    With the wide range of travel experiences you can try, it helps to figure out what type of traveller you are to narrow down your destination and activities to what you can truly enjoy. For instance, you might be an adventure traveller, which a previous post explains to be someone who prefers spontaneous journeys over overly planned itineraries and avoids tourist traps in favour of daredevil activities like mountaineering.

    While an adventure traveller embraces spontaneity and thrill, this doesn’t necessarily mean you should forget about essentials that otherwise ensure a safe and smooth experience. Among these is a pair of sunglasses, which helps shield your eyes from sunlight, wind, sand, and other harsh outdoor elements that may otherwise compromise your vision. In many cases, sunglasses can also enhance your outdoor performance by improving the detail and clarity of your surroundings — here are the best ones you can choose from.

Ever caught wind of the Great Emu War? It’s not a comedy sketch; it actually happened. Imagine a showdown, humans vs. giant birds, and a plot twist – the emus strutted away with the win. So, when you spot one, tip your hat (or whatever headgear you’ve got)

  • A Dry January, All Year Long.

    People keep reminding me it is January. I consider this an act of aggression. I keep writing “October” on all my checks. I also keep writing 1997. I also keep writing checks? What the hell is even going on with January, anyway? How can a January ever possibly feel normal? The year just started; the opening credits for it are still rolling, people are still looking for their seats. And yet here we are, already mid-way through the first month of the year, 1/24th of the way into 2024. All of us collectively trying to ignore the fact that Januarys are really just a leftover of the year that preceded it. There are extremely important dates therein (MLK Day, Inauguration Day, Insurrection Day, Everyone Being Mad at Taylor Swift for Showing Her Face in a Sacred Men’s Space Day(s)), and some of us just aren’t in the right mindset to
