The Always Greener Grass
October, a few days after Michaelmas and the narrow lane shows signs of autumn’s progress. Golden-green crab apples lie strewn along the crown of the road glowing, almost lambent, in the half-light of the holloway. A grey murk penetrates the trees, a twilight wrung from the fabric of a squall. It’s a suitable gloom for the trek up Blagdon Hill in Dorset, a place already seeded by burial mounds and the field furniture of Bronze Age death cults.

How to explore Sri Racha
Sri Racha is quite a sleepy little coastal town where travellers seem to just want to relax by the beach or indulge in great cuisine. The Sri Racha sauce came from here and that’s how the place earned a spot on the map. Discovering Sri Racha means learning about the beginnings of the sauce and things to see around the town.

Superior Goods + Superior Coffee
Nested on 4th Street in Downtown Troy, NY stands a beautiful space filled with curated items thoughtfully chosen as well as amaing coffee and food. It was a happy accident, coming across Superior Merchandise Company. My husband (who was then my boyfriend at the time) wanted to find a new spot to try out but stay local. We enjoy supporting local businesses in our small city of Troy and I had chosen this small, interesting coffee shop.

The Health Benefits of Travel
You may not think that taking vacation days is important. In fact, one study found that more than half of Americans failed to use all of their paid time off in 2018.

Will You Join the Buen Camino Tribe?
As I was walking along the street with a friend here in Porto, my home city, I suddenly greeted a man on a bike with a big “Buen Camino!” the customary greeting between Camino de Santiago Pilgrims.

The Gardens of Bomarzo
Italy is renowned for its art. It was the home of the Renaissance masters, it's where Dante wrote perhaps the first epic trilogy the world had ever seen, and it's where the Greeks and the Romans created the rules for Western civilization. For tourists with a taste for the bizarre, or who want to see something truly off the beaten path, there's a little spot north of Rome called Bomarzo. An unassuming place, it's also the home of the Monster Park.

Why You Should Take a Break to Travel
Life as we know it can be either exciting, stressful, depressing, or even just plain boring. Most of us have been taught at a very young age to work, work, and work as hard as we can to get what we want in life. Although this is somewhat true, sometimes people work too hard and then they exhaust themselves to the point where they hardly have any time to enjoy life. Many people also believe that they shouldn't spend money on pleasure and entertainment because that will eventually make them overspend or become lazy. All of these are false statements, and it is actually beneficial to enjoy your life and get away from stressful work. People suffering from high levels of stress are required by doctors and psychiatrists to take a break from work day and night in order to relieve anxiety. Here are ways to make life less stressful and benefit from a nice vacation:

So, What Makes Brunei Unique and Wealthy?
Most people have an assumption that the greater the population, the richer the economy. This is a thought based on more work, more production. Fortunately, in Brunei Darussalam simply called Brunei, this is not so, but it's one of the fastest growing, and the richest states in the world. As little as it was, Brunei struggled for independence in the early 1950s. Luckily, a new constitution was adopted proclaiming Brunei a self-governing state in 1959. Due to the little population of about 421,300, its foreign affairs, security, and defense was still managed by the United Kingdom. There were fears they wouldn't be able to take full responsibility. The oil powerhouse, Brunei, officially gained its independence from the United Kingdom on January 1, 1984, but celebrates the country’s independence on February 23 on a traditional basis. Based on economic data, the wealthiest nations are also amongst the tiniest, and Brunei is no exception.

Soulstice's Kickstarter Campaign Gives You a New Way to Save the Rainforest, One Bracelet at a Time. Top Story - September 2018.
Deforestation is destroying rainforests at a rate of more than 1.5 acres per second. If that rate remains steady, that means that 47.3 million acres of rainforest will disappear each year. The impact this destruction has on our planet is almost incomprehensible. Considering that the Amazon rainforest houses almost half of the world’s known species—many of them already endangered—as well as provides more than 20 percent of the Earth's oxygen, this level of destruction could very well wipe out thousands of species in just the next few years, and permanently alter our global ecosystem. With extinction rates rapidly expanding, and the forest rapidly disappearing, there will soon be no Amazon to visit.

A Love Letter to the Worst Town in America
“We were talking about what it is like to spend one’s childhood in little towns like these, buried in wheat and corn, under stimulating extremes of climate: burning summers when the world lies green and billowy beneath a brilliant sky, when one is fairly stifled in vegetation, in the color and smell of strong weeds and heavy harvests; blustery winters with little snow, when the whole country is stripped bare and gray as sheet-iron. We agreed that no one who had not grown up in a little prairie town could know anything about it. It was a kind of freemasonry, we said.”
