The Lessons That I Derived from My Recent Wanderlust
The darkness that surrounds the storm is often the most turbulent period of hardships that embellish us into the trance of not knowing what to do. I learnt the lessons of patience, virtue and gratitude from the darkest periods of my life. Life has its ways of embracing us in its wisdom, staggering us into the whirlwinds of challenges and adversities, only to gift us with peonies of hope. Hope can metamorphose mountains of hatred into the galloping beauty of existence that showers us with the narrative of self-belief and confidence. It is often in a wanderlust away from our daily surroundings that we realize the wonder that the world we live in has to offer. Forgiveness after a storm is like accepting the catastrophe without denying the damage it has done. It is painful but necessary to survive, to thrive in our lives.

Six Flags: Get Your Act Together
Six Flags has never took theming as seriously as Disney World, but there are different lands in the park. When I worked at Six Flags St. Louis as a teen, employees had different outfits based on the themes. As a ticket seller at the front of the park I was categorized as being in the “1904 World’s Fair” section and had a red and white pinstripe shirt and bow tie to give me the look of an old timey carnival barker (that is when the wardrobe department didn’t accidentally give me a blouse). Even as I worked there in the 1990’s though, those outfits were replaced with generic polos worn by employees across the park -- this was one of many small changes that represented a decreasing commitment to motif. As new attractions have been added that fit less but remnants of old themes remained there has been an increasingly incoherent feel to the park. I’m going to go through the different rides and how well they fit into their respective lands.

Whittier, Alaska: The Unique Town Living Under One Roof
Nestled between the icy waters of Prince William Sound and the rugged peaks of the Chugach Mountains, Whittier, Alaska, is unlike any other town in America. Known for its breathtaking landscapes and remote location, Whittier has captured attention for a rather unusual reason: almost its entire population lives under a single roof. In a town of roughly 272 residents, 90% reside in the same apartment building—the Begich Towers. This distinctive setup has earned Whittier the nickname “the town under one roof,” making it a fascinating destination and a unique study of communal living.

Exploring North Carolina
The 495-mile Blue Ridge Parkway has been nicknamed "America's Favorite Drive". The parkway was designed by landscape architect Stanley Abbott. It offers fantastic views of the Blue Ridge Mountains and is popular with bicyclists and motorcyclists. Many hiking trails branch off from the parkway as well as picnic areas and campgrounds. In the autumn the changing colors are spectacular and in the summer you can delight in colorful azaleas and rhododendrons.
