She Slept Soundly on the Seashore
The best things about camping are the things we don’t have while we’re at home living our busy lives: Solitude, an open sky, the sounds of a living earth that get overpowered by an ever-active civilization. I go for the crickets and the whispering of critters’ feet on the forest floor, but many sleep better with the thundering roll of water against the shore when they escape urban life and wander out under the stars.

'Ship Life' Is The Best Life!
Cruise ship vacations are often perceived to be designed for old or retired people. After spending time on a large Royal Caribbean ship, my perception of cruise vacations has completely changed. I had no idea there was so much to do on cruise ships. I honestly thought guests just sat around by the pool, ate food all day, and then gambled money in the casino.

7 Reasons to Book a Ski Trip
1) Try Something New If you have never skied or snowboarded before, you’re in for a treat! With a few lessons, most people are able to get to grips with the basics and it’s always a great sense of achievement when you learn a new skill. Ski or snowboard lessons are a good introduction to the sport because you will learn how to move yourself about safely, and you will also learn how to fall without hurting yourself!

Guinness Storehouse . Top Story - December 2017.
When I started looking into what I wanted to do when I get to Dublin I immediately wanted the Storehouse. Why, you ask, since you don't drink or even LIKE any beer at all, ever? Well, I like the stories, and I wanted to do some of the more traditional (ie: touristy nowadays) Irish stuff I could- drinks, dancing, and history.

Where to Experience Floor-to-ceiling Panoramic Views of Toronto, Canada?
Before arriving in Toronto I made sure to look at different interesting things to do. You'd be surprised to know that Toronto is full of fun on every corner. After googling I came across The World's Tallest Tower. It is also the very place that well-known rapper Drake took his famous picture for his album "Views" that dropped in 2016. So I know you must be curious about what tower I'm referring to and it is the LA CN Tower. This tower is famously known as the tallest tower and is acknowledged by Guinness World Records for being the tallest tower. I was informed that the CN Tower stands at 1500 feet. In order to get to the top of the tower you must take an elevator, well, of course, I'm sure no one would want to take the stairs. Imagine having to walk up 1,776 stairs. Sheesh, I'm tired even thinking about it. When I was getting on the elevator it was over 15 people bundling up in order to fit. The bottom of the elevator floor was made of glass, and as I was going up the elevator my ears popped due to the height of elevation and speed of the elevator. Ultimately once you step off the elevator you reach the floor-to-ceiling panoramic windows which are breath-taking. I was able to see my hotel, Lake Ontario, and many other buildings right from where I stood. The sun was setting so it was perfect. I spent about 30 minutes just taking in the view. The only thing I didn't care for was all the traffic it can be hard capturing photos due to everyone trying to capture the same view or just sharing the space of staring in amazement. After overlooking the city I took another few steps down the stairs where the glass floor was. The glass floor was cool but difficult to capture photos of including yourself. There also was an outside view beyond the glass windows when I stepped outside I was consumed by wind it was EXTREMELY cold. I think the coolest thing to me was that at night time the tower changes colors. The best time to experience the tower would be at night. It was a cool experience but that was it I expected to see more of the tower after the glass floor, but unfortunately that was not the case unless you pay extra to experience the edgewalk. The edgewalk is where visitors walk in a group of six and are harnessed to an overhead safety rail via a trolley. The participants are allowed to lean off the edge of the tower with nothing but air and breathtaking views of Lake Ontario beneath them. Which could be very scary for most people but very reviving for others. Within the tower, there is the 360 restaurant that allows guest to have lunch or dinner while overlooking Toronto. The CN Tower also has its own wine brewery in the inside. My experience at the CN Tower was pretty cool I was expecting more but the amazing view kind of made up for that. Toronto by itself was amazing and I wouldn't change anything. I would advise anyone to take a trip to Toronto it's well worth it. Being in the sky made me appreciate the beauty of the busy world we live in every day. Experiencing the CN Tower made me feel special and alive to be apart of a place full of beauty and overlooking such greatness. I feel like I made a great decision picking the CN Tower as a must-see spot on my to-do list while in Toronto.

5 Experiences in Louisiana
When you close your eyes, and someone mentions Louisiana, what are the first things that come to mind? New Orleans, Mardi Gras, and the oh so popular, Bourbon Street. I had visited Louisiana the week after Mardi Gras, and while the exuberance of Mardi Gras had passed, the excitement was still there. I’ll explain the places I went to and the things that I had seen while I was there that were very wonderful and made my experience feel spectacular.
