A big jump
When I was younger I was really scared of heights. Even while walking up a tower I can feel my knees tremble. I have to grab the rails tightly to ensure myself that I will not fall. Eventually I wanted to conquer this fear and little by little I became an adventure seeker. The first major step that I had was to do bungee jumping. Upon seeing the height of the cliff I almost backed out but I don’t want to live in frustration and fear so I did muster up the courage to take a step and jump. During the first few seconds my head was blank and after that I opened my eyes and I gasped because of the beauty of the surroundings. There was a different feeling while you are hanging. After that experience it may sound crazy but I wanted to do more of this kind of stuff. My next agenda is to do skydiving, so the next destination is in Taupo, New Zealand which is said to be the sky diving capital. There are schools in their so that you can get a license. There are 3 dive centres but only one does AFF or accelerated freefall which I intend to do. Hopefully this coming summer I will have a chance to do this.
The city that never sleeps
Many people are attracted to New York which is also known as the “Big Apple”. As a matter of fact many migrate to this city thus it is the third most populous place in United States. It is one of the most industrialized states which makes it the center of finance and culture. There are tourist attractions that you can visit and surely love. In fact New York is globally known as a fashion capital. You can high end boutiques especially in Manhattan and this would surely fill your appetite for shopping. Aside from that every year fashion enthusiasts gather here to launch and watch fashion shows. Arts, media and entertainment are also showcased through the different broadways shows held different theatres, while in the Lincoln Performing arts centre houses different organizations. There area also a lot of world class museums and are galleries that can be found here. Some Televisions shows and movies are also shot in this famous City, to get a feel of being in TV you can even book a touring company to bring you to the different locations. The architecture within the city and its landmarks should also be explored that is why the Grand Central Terminal, Empire State Building, Statue of Liberty, Time Square and Central Park should be visited.
White Christmas
Many people dread the cold winter season but instead of sulking over why not turn it to an enjoyable one. There a lot of activities you can do during this time of the year. Aside from the outdoor winter activities like ball fights, building igloos and skating, one of the most fun things to do with snow is skiing. Since there is a long holiday break, I thought of a better way to spend this wisely by having a white Christmas, by going to Colorado to have a ski trip. I have been to Pennsylvania a year ago and I really enjoyed it there. To try a different scenery, my friend recommended Silverton Mountain. Though there are many ski resorts there, Silverton Mountain has one of the best services and facilities so that you can have access to the steepest peak by riding their chairlift. Expert and professional skiers would probably be thrilled with their trails. No wonder that this resorts garners the vote of those who are adrenaline seekers. Though there are patrollers roaming around the area to watch the safety of the guests, they still give classes to give instructions like avalanche watch, to avoid jeopardizing your safety.
A Parisian chic
A good friend of mine has been working as a flight attendant for a year now. One of the advantages of this kind of job is that you will be exposed to different people of various nationalities. Another benefit is that you are able to travel a lot and visit wonderful places without paying for a plane ticket and hotel accommodation. She has been to countries like Japan, Australia, Thailand, Vietnam, Qatar but amongst this places her favourite destination is France specifically in Paris. I too dream of going to this place. It is truly a romantic city that is why many people are hooked in this place. She said that there are quite a number of things that you can do and visit. On her first visit she immediately went straight to Eiffel Tower. It is very famous especially for all the love birds. Eve n Tony Parker and Eva Longoria got swept off to the romanticism of this monument where they got engaged. For all the art lovers, the Louvre is a must see. It houses the artworks of the world’s most renowned artist, Leonardo Da Vinci. She said you should not also miss the chance of going to the Catholic churches like Notre Dame Cathedral and Sacré Coeur Basilica. Because of the amazing Parisian stories I am more psyched to visit this city someday.
Buddy travel
I am a certified pet lover. I was first drawn to owning a dog because of my grandmother. My grandmother who happens to be crippled owned a very bright labrador. That dog accompanied her everywhere and assisted her with her daily routines. I was inspired to get one for myself. They say that dogs are man’s bestfriend and true enough it became my buddy. Paopao is a poodle and like my grandmom he became a good companion. I even brought him along in a few of my latter travels abroad since I still have to train him to be well-behave while on board. There may be a lot of considerations when flying your pet. You have to reserve a separate ticket which may be costly. Since my dog is just small, the carrier can fit under my seat. It is ideal for the owner to bring blankets and treats and toys as well as the dog diapers to avoid mess. Place an id tag together with your contact number in case it gets lost. A requirement for airlines is the health certificate that is why you should bring your pet to the veterinarian for about a week before your trip. After securing all this, you may now be assured of a smooth flight for you and your pal.
A ski experience
I have long been a follower of the Winter Olympics. I love the excitement felt through watching the different players strive hard to win for themselves and especially for their country. One of the most anticipated events is the cross country skiing competition. Due to its simplicity even people with physical activities can do it that is why it is also included in the Winter Paralympics Games. There are players who have cerebral palsy, amputations and visual and mental impairments. This makes cross country skiing even more inspiring plus it really is enjoyable. It is like distance running except that you do it on snow. To try it out, me and my friends headed to a wonderful ski experience. We stayed in a nearby lodge which is just a short drive away from Lake Tahoe. The place has a big area dedicated for skiers. It even has multiple tracks fitted for different skill levels. With their smooth tracks you can swerve your way up and down the area. You will surely take pleasure with the country resort and I think it is one of the largest that I have seen. It is a lot of fun to ski around and feel like an Olympic player.
Soaring high
How does it feel like if you are soaring up in the sky? With ziplining you can truly experience the hype of being above and flying. In ziplining you will be in an aerial rope, attached with a harness while you are sliding. In Asia you can find the highest zipline in Lake Sebu in the Philippines. While you are up and gliding, you can ingest Mother Nature and its beauty at its best and it is just around you. This place is developed by the government to be a great tourist attraction. One of the key features of the place is the seven waterfalls which really looks majestic. You can also see the green lush of trees which can be found all over the place. You will also experience the adrenaline rush as you speed down to the other end. For your first ride you may be shouting loudly because of the fear of the height but as the second ride goes on you will be more relax and instead of being nervous you will be enjoying the breathtaking sights just below you. After experiencing this adventure you will surely come back to this awesome place and want more.
Packing up
Hiking and camping is a fun way to have bonding with your family and friends outdoors. For our family reunion this year we thought doing something unusual. Instead of holding it in a hall we decided to go Yosemite instead for an adventure. We will be hiking through the day and have an overnight in the tents. It will be unusual for us since we will all be away from the comforts of our own home.
This place is packed of trails and while you are walking through the path you can see towering trees, lakes, waterfalls, mountains and beaches. A night before the trip I already checked on the must bring items. Since it will be a long hike bringing liters of fluid is a must to keep a hiker well hydrated. Though someone is bringing the food, packing extra snacks will be helpful. To protect myself from the harmful rays of the sun, a hat, shades, a small towel, sunscreen and extra clothing should be handy and this are all placed in a small backpack. For additional equipments they said that we can just rent them for small amount of price. Now I am all set foot for a day’s adventure. Canyon de Chelly here we go!
