Best Parts About Summer for Travel
Everyone has their favourite time of year to travel. Maybe it’s because the weather favours a certain activity or maybe it’s because that’s the time of year they get time off of work – whatever the reason, summer for many is their time of year to get out there and love life across all corners of the Earth. For me, summer time is when travel is at its best. Winter is great for getaways to a tropical destination to bask in the heat and autumn is perfect for taking it easy somewhere close to home but summer is all about seeing something different and getting out there with others.…

Do You Go Out at Night?
The world we live in is a very different place at night and for some, this is a world they never really know. Depending on where you live or travel to, going out in public at night may not be something that is advisable because of safety concerns. Especially if you are a woman, the world that comes alive at night can be full of risks that can be avoided if you just stay in.

Have you ever been in an airport, checking in for your flight, and come across some people who are travelling with two or three kids under the age of 10 and wonder ‘why in the world would anyone do that?’ Maybe that’s been you and you have your reasons, but you probably have to admit, it’s not the most ideal situation to find yourself in.

Kids like what they know and travelling is the definition of taking in something new.…

Travelling creates a difficult situation for anyone who likes to keep to a routine. For people who don’t, they’re probably wondering what the big deal is. Who cares, I’m on vacation right? Routines are for those who lead boring button down lives and have no business with the thrill seeking, seat of your pants types who frequent the travel world. Which, of course, isn’t true at all. When it comes to staying in shape to travel, people seem to fall into a few different camps: – Those who don’t care – Those who get in shape for their holiday but let it go during – Those who try to stay…

Other Travellers Stress Me Out!
Do you ever find yourself playing the competition game with other travellers? You know the one I’m talking about. Who has been to most remote place, spent the least on gelato, went on the least amount of sleep, who has eaten the grossest thing? Does this ring a bell? We’re all guilty of it on some level. We get proud of our accomplishments and like to compare notes with others to see who is doing it the ‘right’ way and get pleasure from knowing you’re superior in some way to someone else. It’s douchey and pointless but in a lot of ways it’s also fun. Except it really stresses…
