Volunteer When You Travel In Nepal
Have you been to Nepal? If the answer to that question is no then you really need to start planning a trip as soon as possible. The country is absolutely amazing and has something for any type of traveler. I have just returned from volunteering in Nepal and I can’t recommend it enough.
People fall in love with Nepal for a number of reasons; the trekking, people, culture, weather, food and much more. I couldn’t choose which one thing was my favourite but I do know that volunteering in Nepal is something we would all enjoy and should try at least once.
Koh Chang Is Perfect For Nature Lovers
Koh Chang is the second largest island you will find in Thailand, here you will find an abundance of exciting activities to keep you entertained during your holiday. We were lucky enough to visit last year, being nature lovers Koh Chang was absolute heaven for us. The beaches are awesome, the waters a perfect blue and there are many other things to enjoy too.
The island is in the south of the country and is really easy to get to from Bangkok. We went from Chiang Mai to Koh Chang, despite being at the other end of the country it was really easy to get to and took less than a day – we flew via Bangkok. I recommend all you lovers of nature out there to hit up Koh Chang if you’re in Thailand because it’s a great place and well worth the travel. Here are some of the activities that we loved during our time there.
The Best Ski Resorts On The Planet
What gets a resort into my list of the top resorts? It is not just the ski runs, the hotels, guides, restaurants and spas. Well, they are obviously all important factors but I think we must always feel at home when we’re on a ski holiday. I don’t want to feel like I’m just another tourist or a faceless guest, I want my ski resorts to be a home away from home where my whole groups is comfortable.
So with our further ado, here are 3 of the best ski resorts I have been fortunate enough to visit:
3 Reasons To Love Thailand
Thailand is the land of smiles, the smiles here welcome millions of tourist from all over the world each and every year. I am lucky enough to spend most of my time here in Thailand, I feel blessed to enjoy the sunshine, food and friendly people every day.
So here are 3 reasons why I love Thailand:
The Food
I used to think that Indian food could never be beaten but that was so wrong. In Thailand everything tastes good, and don’t worry if you’re not in to spicy food because in the tourist areas they’ve toned down on the chilli. On the other hand if you do love a bit of burn on your tongue the Thai’s will be more than happy to oblige. I recommend ordering Pad Krapow, that is a mixture of minced pork, chilli and basil – it sounds simple but the taste is unbelievable, especially when topped with an egg.

Tips for Managing Common Travel Emergencies
Just like at home, we’re prone to experiencing emergencies while traveling. Unfortunately, dealing with these emergencies while on a trip is much more difficult than tending to them at home.
Here are five helpful tips for managing common travel emergencies.
1. Carry multiple copies of important documents in case you lose them
Print a photocopy of your government identification, passport, and other credentials. You should also take pictures of each of these forms of identification. If possible, sign up for mobile apps that allow you to present IDs, passports, and the like to necessary parties without needing anything more than your smartphone.
Urgent Accessories for the Luxury Traveller
If you travel a lot, be it for work or pleasure, you need to get good at travel. It’s not just a case of learning how to spend your time during a layover, and sleeping well on aeroplanes, you need to supplement your knowledge with a tool kit of the vital accessories all the most seasoned travellers keep with them to ease their passage as they travel around the world

When you’re packing for a trip, you need to strike a balance with toiletries: you need to bring enough to keep yourself not merely clean but at the top of your game but not so much that passing security becomes an impossible task.
A first time visitors guide to San Francisco, California
San Francisco is one of my favourite cities in the United States and many people just seem to love the mix of culture and openness, and a way of life that you just cannot seem to find in other cities in the States, let alone the world. It is always important to me to share posts with you guys about destinations that I like going to and this time it is San Francisco. You worry about booking your hotel in San Francisco, and I will worry about the things you should see. Enjoy reading!
Golden Gate Bridge

This is undoubtedly the most iconic image of San Francisco and is world-renowned. It is absolutely huge at over 80 stories high and creates one of the most stunning views of the bay in combination with the ocean. It is always a great idea to head to San Francisco when the weather is good, so I would definitely recommend midday, but keep an eye on the weather, and you can never go wrong.
Walking is a great way to experience the bridge, but I also loved riding my bike there too. These are truly going to be some of the best views of the city and the bay that you are likely to see. If you want to learn more about the history of the bridge, I highly recommend the visitor center there too.
Take a cable car
The cable cars are an absolute must when traveling around San Francisco. There are a number of routes that offer stunning views and refuge from walking some of the very steep streets that you can find in the city. I love to take them everywhere, and it is a nice way to look around and truly experience what is on offer. You simply jump on and off them and go wherever you want. If you’re curious to learn more, you can also visit the free cable car museum.
Visit Golden Gate Park
Whenever you hear the locals talking about the park, it is almost certain that they mean Golden Gate Park. This huge rectangular park starts in the heart of the city and reaches all the way to the end of the island into the stunning Pacific Ocean. The park is filled with various gardens, playgrounds, and even a golf course. You won’t be searching for things to do here, they will literally be right in front of you.
You absolutely must see the Conservatory of Flowers, which is a restored 1878 Victorian greenhouse that houses over 2,000 species of plants and flowers. It is like another world being in a huge greenhouse with some of the most exotic and beautiful plants that you are ever likely to see in your life.
I also really enjoy the Japanese Tea Garden in Golden Gate Park, especially because I am a huge fan of these types of gardens. This particular garden gives you the feeling that you could truly be in Japan with a Japanese temple, a curious looking bridge, and all the well-kept and trimmed plants that the Japanese are famous for.
Whatever it is that you are looking to see, you are going to have a great trip. Enjoy your first time in San Francisco!
