Savannah, Georgia
Located on the coast of Georgia separated by the Savannah River to South Carolina is a small tourist town filled with history from the houses to the streets, unique stores, and hidden gems of restaurants. When it comes to history it can be powerful and beautiful to terrifying and creepy but all of it makes Savannah and why it has become such a great place to visit. There are plenty of stores and like all tourist towns you will get the basic souvenir stores but there are also small marketplaces filled with local crafts, a great dog/cat boutique with about five locations within this small location (very pet friendly town), and one of my favorites Savannah Bee Company where anything you can make with honey is developed and sold at this store. As for restaurants you will find cuban food, bar food, seafood, and amazing southern breakfast food; it is refreshing to go through a town and see very few chain restaurants and you will get that experience in Savannah.

Mudeford Quay
This is an extremely popular spot for visitors and locals alike at any time of year. My own preference for making the ten mile drive from to Mudeford Quay is when there is a storm coming in from the English Channel or when the tide is turning.Mudeford Quay forms a man made bank of one side of what is called 'The Run.' This is a strip of water no more than 50 meters wide that is the inlet and outlet for the tidal movements between Christchurch Harbour and the English Channel.

Casa Di Guiliette
Hidden within the city center you are able to find a sweet little courtyard which is home to Juliet. Originally a medieval palace owned by the Capello family, this stunning architecture has for many years bought tourists from all over the world. Many visit to see the balcony that you have have read about in Shakespeare's writing, however what you may not know is that the balcony was not added on to the building until the 1930s to increase tourism! Despite this, it is still a must see, if not for the architecture then maybe the hope of luck and love will bring you running into the loving arms of Juliet herself. Well... a statue that is.

8 Exciting Activities to Do in New York City That Your Tour Guide Will Not Show You
New York City is an amazing place to both live and visit. Whether you’re a morning person who wants to enjoy the city during the day or a night owl who is looking to see why they call it the city that never sleeps, there is something for everyone. But New York City tour guides will mainly bring up the same tourist traps to everyone. The Empire State Building, Top of the Rock, The Statue of Liberty, Central Park, etc. While I do recommend everyone visits these at least once in their lives, there’s so much more to see in this city.

Avail the Benefits of Parking Facilities for a Better Trip
It is no surprise why some travellers are desperate to avoid the hassle of self-parking. They are totally aware of how nerve wracking it can be. It is like one wrong move can put you in the worst possible situation. But what if you were to choose a smart parking solution? Wouldn’t that simplify the journey for you and all the people travelling with you? Has it ever occurred to you that the modern era that we are living in has a broad range of parking solutions to offer? We get so caught up with other domains of travelling that we turn a blind eye to what could be one of the most important aspects of the journey. Travellers should know that there is more to airport parking than they think there is. Sometimes all it takes is a bad airport experience to realise how essential this aspect is as far as travelling is concerned. So, if you are planning to visit one of the busiest airports in UK soon, then you better choose a suitable off-site parking service.

Adapting to Au Pair Life
‘The measure of intelligence is the ability to change.’ - Albert Einstein. Adaption. It’s something that we all have to do in life. Whether you are adapting to a new school, job, city, or person, it is an aspect that we cannot avoid. I would say that, overall, I am a fairly adaptable person. In new situations and surroundings I do tend to initially freak out and feel nervous, however this normally settles after a few days. As mentioned in my first post, I moved to Spain in 2017 for almost a year, and I began work as an Au Pair. Prior to my move, this was the extent of my Spanish vocabulary:

Joshua Tree National Park
It was a long drive into the desert. Hungover from the night before and forever in a rush, we hit the freeway with only music and conversation to distract us from the unbearably straight roads to the desert. After a few hours containing only the occasional pit stops to stretch our legs we arrived in the National Park and drove straight towards the cliff that held view of the Coachella Valley and San Andreas fault. In one direction we could see the journey we had just made and the mountain range we had driven though; in the other it was a clear view to the US/Mexico border 96 miles away. So, we just stood there; taking it all in. Every direction you looked you saw something new or notable.
