Our Trip to Rome
Every winter, my son and I travel around Christmas to warmer places. We both have long winter breaks as I teach and he is a student in academia, so we reward ourselves with a trip abroad. We've been to Brazil in 2019, Peru in 2021, and France last year. And this year, we decided to go to Rome.

A Trip to the Biltmore
“Holy Moses!” That was all I could think to say when I first laid eyes on the house. The largest, privately-owners home in the United States, by the way. That’s right: the current generation of Vanderbilt's still own their family estate to this day, and, in the spirit of their famous hospitality, they open up the house to public tours year-round.

Budget Trip from Delhi to Phuket
Traveling gives us an openness to a different way of life. It helps us to escape our monotonous routine. Traveling is fun. One person will never be intellectually accomplished if they always remain at home. Traveling lets us witness different cultures, creeds, cuisine, climate, etc. Though traveling is enjoyable, it can be more economical.

Is Disneyland losing its magic?
When I was a kid, going to Disneyland was a truly special experience. Of course, in the early 90s the average adult ticket for the day was 35 dollars. It was also only one park then but compared to today’s 194 on peak days. Of course, the peak season keeps gradually increasing meaning more days for nearly 200$. The value days price at around 104 which still is three times the price for a single park trip thirty years ago. Now I know about inflation, you don’t have to remind me. However Disney is a multibillion dollar company that charges this much money yet still can’t properly pay their employees to live in a high cost area like Southern California. Disney charges an arm and a leg for admission because they know someone will pay it, pricing out many lower income and even middle class families today.
