The Haunts of the Many Writers of Edinburgh
Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland, boasts two extinct volcanoes, 13 castles, and more festivals than months of the year. Edinburgh (pronounced Edin-bruh; Edin-burr-uh; or even embra, if you're a Leither) has also been home to a large number of well-known writers across its rich past. The authors of everything from Peter Pan to Trainspotting; Sherlock Holmes to Harry Potter; have called the city home at some point.

A Solo Travel in Venice
There are places that have nothing to do with our ideas of home, family and affections. Places that nothing have in common with important moments of our lifes. And yet, sometimes some of this places steals our hearts and minds, until they become “places of body and mind” where you go to find something, and that something is often yourself.

Must See Places Whilst Visiting Manhattan
One World Trade I tend to start my visit with all the cool things downtown. The One World Trade Center is so mesmerising, and if you head down there early morning the sunrise reflecting on the glass panels gives it a beautiful shine.

When Paradise Is Underrated: An Insight Into Montenegro’s Most Luxurious Marina

Little Rock City Park, New York
The 2018 Summer will be over in about two months. There is still plenty of fun to be had and some of it can come pretty cheap! Maybe you're still trying to enjoy this year’s record hot weather outdoors, instead of in a motel or hotel. You could be on the last few days driving home from vacation and would like to cut costs. If you're anything like me, you just need to get away from civilization for a little bit. Whichever it is, you need a financial break. I know a park just north of Allegany State Park that can offer you a break for free. I have gone there myself and it's pretty isolated, but don't go alone! It's rumored to be haunted, which is perfect for those who like a ghost hunt all year round!

6 Fun yet Unpopular Things to Do in Calgary This Summer. Top Story - July 2018.
Summer time is my favourite time of the year. I’d take warm nights, long days, and short sleeves over Santa Claus and holiday cheer any day. (Santa if you’re reading this, I’m just trying to act cool in front of my friends. Please don’t forget about the LEGO I asked for). Tons of my friends at one point or another have said that Calgary is a boring city, and that there isn’t much to do here. I find most people who say such things aren’t looking hard enough for the aspects and events that make this city fun, and are giving up and going to Cowboys for draft night for the 11th Thursday in a row. Just like with a significant other, you often have to search and dig for the qualities about them that enthrall you. It’s the very same with this city. So I’m going to let you in on my secrets of some really fun things to do in Calgary this summer that the average person doesn’t take advantage of.

Jamaica - It's Not Alright!
Jamaica was my dream destination: Sun, Sand, and Surf. Unfortunately, the build-up of excitement and anticipation of getting away for a week was probably the most enjoyable part of my trip!

Virtual Tour of Cabbage Town - Atlanta
Krog Street Tunnel - Cabbage Town I am a geek for walkable neighborhoods. Anything that allows me to feel like I’m part of a community—local eateries, galleries, gathering spaces—draw me in like a moth to a flame. Atlanta in my opinion is not the most walkable city, but it has its enclaves; it’s little nooks and neighborhoods within the city.
