10 Reasons to Visit Alaska
While the northern reaches of the 49th state are undeniably harsh, and nearly inhabitable, during the winter months, the broad, striking beauty of this region offer many reasons to visit Alaska. From beautiful, awe-inspiring landscapes to incredible and rare wildlife, and sights you can't find anywhere else to unique cultural festivals, it is truly one of the world's most incredible natural wonders. Furthermore, misconceptions about the comfort and habitability of Alaska—especially during warmer seasons, and in the south—mean that it is often overlooked as a vacation spot, despite its wide-ranging offerings. Whether you're a die-hard outdoorsman looking for a challenge, or a more comfort-oriented vacationer in search of inspiration, Alaska has many compelling features that you just can't find anywhere else.

10 Reasons to Visit England
Assuming you weren't born yesterday, you probably know that England is a pretty important player on a global level. Turning through the pages of history, you can note that this prestigious country has had a significant influence across the globe, seeming to (and definitely trying to) colonize every bit of land it came into contact with. Promoting economic growth in Asia, initiating the deconstruction of Africa, and giving birth to the United States, the expansive history of England has touched the lives of modern day people in ways that they couldn't even begin to realize, all over the world. In reference to England as a country, people are typically on one side or the other when it comes to their true feelings about the nation: They either love it vehemently, or hate it with a passion. This piqued perception of one of the longest founded nation-states, according to recorded history, will always be on the forefront of people's minds when they are reading about or researching the place. Despite its historical accomplishments and misgivings though, it is a place that can easily be appreciated, especially for travelers. If you're having trouble coming up with reasons to visit England outside of it's poignant place in world affairs, this list will be sure to give you something you, too, can marvel at.

How My Solo Trip at 21 Can Help You!
I decided a week before my 22nd birthday, I wanted to do something that scared me. I have always wanted to do a solo trip, but it was the most terrifying thing I could think of. Only being 21, and nearly everyone telling me it was a bad idea, I was petrified. I eventually took the leap because I realized that I am not guaranteed tomorrow, next week or even the next minute. This was a dream of mine, even though it scared me. I saved my paychecks and took the leap to do something crazy. I chose Paris, because it has always had a special place in my heart. I must say, it was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I have met the most amazing people, I experienced a great culture and had the most amazing food. I could not have asked for a better trip. If anything, this trip has taught me that the world is not so scary and there are amazing people living in it. Even though this was a solo trip, I rarely felt alone. I just came back Saturday and I did not want to leave. I will always hold this trip near and dear to my heart and I can't wait for the next one!
