10 Genius Vacation Packing Tips. Top Story - March 2018.
Packing for an exciting vacation trip can literally kill your mood for the trip. Even if you're going on vacation for three days, if you're like some of us, we actually pack our entire house. We end up loading our luggages with the most unnecessary things that we don't use during vacation. This causes to consume storage room and eventually lead our luggages impossible to close. We also just stuff our clothing into our bags, not even folding them at times. Either we're so fed up with packing, or packing a few hours before our flight takes off, this causes us to grab whatever we can and shoving them into our luggage.

10 Travel Tips for a First Time in Europe
After five months of consistent travel, I’ve definitely learned my fair share of lessons. Like the time I was arrested by the metro controllers in Budapest because I couldn't find the place to buy my tickets and took the metro without one... and finally ended up with a 100$ ticket instead.

What Makes Disneyland Truly Magical Pt. 2
Hello everyone! Welcome to part two of my articles pertaining to true Disney Magic. In this section, I want to tell you about the "easy to miss" details Tomorrowland has to offer. Jumping right in—Tomorrowland is one of the coolest lands Disneyland has to offer. Storm Troopers roam the walkways, and spaceships whirl through the air! There is a lot to see and do in this part of the park, so you have to really focus your attention while you're there. This land is also one of the most crowded EVER so keep that in mind when you are looking for "magical details." Luckily for you, the first thing on my list you can see while you are in line for Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters. Pretty much all of the plant life in Tomorrowland is edible, and not the "weird herb" kind of edible. The planters are actually little gardens full of kale, jalapeños, tomatoes, carrots, and even a few orange trees. Kind of cool right? Sadly they don't use the vegetables that they grow (I asked). So I'm not saying pick some and get a free lunch but seriously "waste not," right?

In Search of the Northern Lights. Top Story - February 2018.
My search for the Northern Lights began back in 2014, I had seen thousands of photos in books and online, and of course, I’d watched The Snowman… duh. One of my best friends once told me that he planned on proposing to the girl of his dreams in view of the northern lights in Greenland. How romantic is that? What a beautiful and spectacular notion. Surely something magical that the both of them will always remember! I decided I must see this wonderful natural phenomenon for myself.

Taking a Cruise
Why going on a cruise is worth it: Have you ever been frightened to go on a cruise? Do you want to try it but you're not sure if it is worth the money? I am sure people have many questions regarding their decision on vacationing on a cruise. Back in 2014, my family and I went on a five day cruise to the Bahamas. This was an overall great experience for all of us. Traveling and the cost of a cruise can be worrisome, but if you have a budget set out, and the extra money available, it is worth it.
