5 Trips Every Person Should Take at Least Once in Life

Why You Should Go to the Rose Parade
The Rose Parade is a celebration on New Years in Pasadena, where people can watch floats, bands, an even see celebrities. It always starts at 8 AM and you can sit where ever you want. You can either buy seats on the bleachers or just sit on the curb of the street like most people. I love going to the Rose Parade because it's so much fun every year and I love to sleep over along with other people. I am going to tell you why you should go too. In a different story, I will tell you tips and tricks if you plan on going to The Rose Parade. It's free if you plan to sit on the curb, but it costs money if you want to be on the bleachers.

The peace lines or peace walls first appeared in Northern Ireland in 1969, after sectarian trouble first flared up across the Province. Believe it or not, in 2018, they are still there keeping different religious factions apart and are a must for any tourist visiting Belfast or Northern Ireland.

Find Friends That Road Trip
Growing up in Canada and in the rural parts of the Great White North, having a vehicle is important not only to get from one place to another but is needed if you ever want to see the country. Transit isn't always practical and trying to get out to the mountains without a ride can be a long and harrowing adventure all its' own. When I first began to drive my friends and I would pile into someones truck, usually mine, and just go out driving around the country side to go fishing, camping or just meet up with other friends further down the line. These trips instilled a very important lesson right away. If you want to see a place, you need to see it through your guides eyes on a road trip. Somebody who knows the area, the roads and the hidden gems that many of us don't have a chance to hear about on a typical wander.
