Memories with Marian

"Travel makes one modest. You see what a tiny place you occupy in the world," as Gustav Flaubert put it, is why I continue to travel. I'm Marian, a 22 year-old with a passion for travel. Join me on my adventure as I attempt to visit every nook and cranny of our home, planet Earth.

Cancun, Mexico

A Mexican city on the Caribbean coast that is well-known for its beaches, cuisine, nightlife, and resorts. Cancun was such a rejuvenating city, brimming with natural beauty and love. There is no comparison to the enjoyment you will have there. F from the turquoise waters to the finger-licking good food. Attractions such as Xplor park, a jungle adventure park with zip lining, amphibious vehicles, underground rivers, and even rafting for $129 USD. Isla Mujeres is a Mexican island off the coast of Cancun where you can go snorkeling, scuba diving, riding around in golf carts, and relaxing on the beach with a nice massage. Cancun also boasts an exciting nightlife, with establishments such as Coco Bongo, The City Nightclub Cancun, and Mandala Cancun. Cancun, Mexico is the ideal vacation destination.

Colorado, United States

If you're looking for a diverse landscape with river canyons, deserts, and rocky mountains, Colorado is the place for you. If you want to unwind and take in the scenery, or if you want to be adventurous and go skiing or perhaps take a hike through the desert, this destination truly has it all. Breckenridge, Colorado Springs, Winter Park, and Canon City are just a few of the best places to visit. You can go on excursions such as hiking in Rocky Mountain National Park, riding the scenic railway through Peak National Forest, or visiting the Dinosaur National Monument. The views and adventures will compel you to return.

Puerto Rico

La Isla Del Encanto es una encantadora isla llena de vida. That once you've arrived, you'll never want to leave. One of the most familiar and almost homelike places I've ever visited. The island offers a variety of activities, including visiting its clear beaches and mountains, renting ATVs and UTVs for $65 USD each, horseback riding for $49 USD each, visiting El Yunque National Forest, and touring Old San Juan with its culture-filled streets and delicious restaurants. One thing that stood out was Puerto Rico's people; they were more than accommodating when a question or favor was requested, and would joke around and make you feel at ease. This is a trip that I strongly recommend to everyone, and you will leave wanting to book another as soon as possible.

Dominican Republic 

This Caribbean paradise is always a good choice. The scenery, resorts, food, and beaches alone are worth the trip. It's one of my favorite islands to visit, and each time I return, I'm taken aback. Punta Cana, Santo Domingo, Higuey, Isla Saona, Samana, and El Seibo are a few of my favorite destinations. Apart from visiting the city, you can participate in excursions such as Buggies, where you can enjoy a mud-filled adventure for only $85 USD. For $129 USD, visit the adventure-filled Scape Park and experience activities such as visiting a cave, exotic animals, ziplines, and swimming in underwater caves. Another fantastic attraction is the $125 USD whale watching tour in the Samana province, which includes horseback riding through the Cayo Levantado forest and a beach lunch. The Dominican Republic is one of the world's most popular tourist destinations, which is entirely understandable.

Cayo Santa Maria, Cuba 

A small island off the northern coast of Cuba. Clear water, rare wildlife, local eateries, and resorts are just some of the highlights. With various attractions, one of the most well-known is the Dolphinarium, which charges $5 USD for admission and allows visitors to swim with dolphins, visit their well-known bar, and eat at their on-site restaurant. You can charter a Catamaran for $72 USD and sail down the coast, sipping cocktails, eating an included lunch and snack, snorkeling, or simply relaxing and staring at the lovely ocean. Another excellent alternative is to take a stroll through town and take in all of Cayo Santa Maria’s culture. The culturally rich island has so much to offer and is eagerly awaiting your visit!
