Travel Mistakes And How To Avoid Them

1. Being Stingy

If you have to take 5 planes and take 3 buses to save $50 is never worth it, you’re going to be cranky and irritated when you finally reach your destination. Also, it’s almost always worth it to stay in the central areas. They’re more expensive for a reason, and you’ll save money on transportation costs, time, and energy.

2. Going In Culturally Blind

There are many thing that we do in our daily lives that may be insulting to other cultures and we must be mindful of those things to have a safe trip. Normal things to us such as eye contact or a pat on the shoulder could be disrespectful in other countries.

3. Planning Every Second of The Trip

Nothing is ever going to go perfectly. Usually we plan, plan, plan and  try to fit everything into a few days but in reality we may only do about half of those. Remember to plan some time for spontaneity and relaxation.

Alaska

I’ll start off by saying that everyone i’ve ever known who has gone on vacation to Alaska has either gone back once or more or plans to go back again. It’s said to have a very calming ambiance. The views of nature are uncomparable to anything else in the United States. Glaciers, mountains, lakes, rivers, and more awaits visitors. More for people who enjoy connecting with nature, this is the perfect place to rent a cabin on the water and turn your phone off. Alaska is also known for its’ abundant wildlife. Watch moose, whales, bears, and more pass by on a morning hike.

Three Places In Greece You Should Add To Your Bucket List!

These are some awesome places everyone needs to visit before they die. Starting with the place where modern civilization began, take a trip to see Athens, Greece. This was the intellectual hub of the world. The leaders of the world-doctors, lawyers, philosophers-  would gather here to discuss life and democracy, religion, and more.

Santorini is the dream honeymoon vacation. The crisp white houses and the bright blue roofs that match the bright blue water is a piece of heaven. Take in these heavenly views while eating dinner at a waterfront restaurant with a nice glass of wine.

Lastly, Mykonos is the party capital of Greece. This is a place where you have to experience the insane nightlife. Clubs and bars are lined up side by side all around the island, edm is blasting, and everyones dancing. Similar to Ibiza, Spain, this island has an electric feel to it. Go out for a few drinks or a few light out on the town, make some new friends, and have some crazy new experiences!

Prettiest Pink Playas!

These beaches are pretty enough to plan a whole trip around. These rare pink sand beaches are the result of million of broken coral pieces from reefs nearby, pink and red shell materials from tiny insects called Foraminifera that live in the nearby reefs, and soft, white sand.

 The first picture is Komodo Island, Indonesia. A place that is arguably one of the best beach-visiting countries around the world. This is partly because it consists of 17,000 islands. With that much beach space at least a few have to be worth a visit. 

And the second picture was taken at Elafonisi Beach, Crete, Greece. Everyone wants to go to Greece. It’s a universal truth. From the beautiful white houses and blue roofs matching the impossibly blue water, or the nightlife scene in Mykonos, and everything in between.

If you’re taking a trip to Italy, these are two lakes you should definitely make some time to go see! The first picture is a shot of Lago di Braies in South Tyrol, Italy. A beautiful and peaceful way to spend some downtime on vacay when you’re running around trying to see everything your city has to offer. Relax in this calm lake surrounded by the beauty of the sky-high Alps, and don't forget to pack a picnic. The latter picture is Lago di San Domenico in Abruzzo, Italy. This is another great option to check out, especially if you’re closer to it. The beautiful architecture plus the natural beauty of the Alps landscape makes this a must see!
