Whale Watching: A Sight to Remember
Set sail and get ready to witness the whale watching experience that will stay with you for your entire life. One will have a close affair with the whales to observe several diverse species of gigantic whales, including finbacks, humpbacks, pilot whales, minkes and the vanishing right whales. There will be naturalists from whom one can learn about the whales. These naturalists are always on the ship to spread information, answer tourists' questions and enlighten visitors on the incredible behaviors of these truly splendid mammals.

Struck Gold
A week stay on the Gold coast of Costa Rica has spoiled me. Paradise is the best word to describe it. Guanacaste was amazing. My grandparents have had a timeshare for years, and they love to travel so they racked up enough points to get this amazing four floor home built alongside the cliffs of the beach. I was financially blessed in 2018 to grab a room, and be a part of this week-long international experience. There was everything you needed from views, to an infinity pool, a beach right below you, along with a beachfront restaurant. There were three restaurants in walking distance, but there was also a beautiful grill at the house on the third-floor deck along with the infinity pool. Officially, I am completely obsessed with this idea of renting a house for every vacation!

Urban Exploring 101
As a species I think it's fair to say we are a nosey bunch. Not just because we tend to stick our noses in other people's business without realising it, but because we are famous for letting curiosity get the better of us.

Looking for Fall Mushrooms in New Hampshire. Top Story - June 2019.
Mushrooms are a truly magnificent thing to behold. According to mycologists (people who study mushrooms), there are over 10,000 known species of mushrooms, and there are even more which are undiscovered. Identifying mushrooms is a challenging and rewarding hobby, even if you don't set out to consume any of your findings. Learning about different structures and features can seem overwhelming, but once you can start to put the pieces together, simply identifying different species feels extremely gratifying.

Yoga in the Meadow at Spring Mountain Ranch
Personally, I wouldn't call myself a yogi, but more of a person who has done many, many yoga classes over the past twelve years or so. While most of my yoga experiences have been at my local gym, I have participated in a few classes in different locations that I have really enjoyed. Doing yoga outdoors has been a very cool experience for me. I think being in nature helps me feel more connected to the practice of yoga. I am able to be more mindful during the class, and I feel more relaxed when it is over compared to when I have done yoga at the gym. Recently, I took a yoga class at the meadow at Spring Mountain Ranch State Park just outside of the Vegas Valley. I had a great experience I'd like to share, as well as provide some information to those who would like to give it a try.

An Exceptional Haven— Bobiri Forest and Butterfly Sanctuary, Ghana
The light and warmth which is received from the sun when you start entering Bobiri Forest and Butterfly Sanctuary is extraordinarily marvelous. The sun that falls on the thick trees gives it a special beauty. The forest canopy also creates a cool and conducive environment for visitors who walk on the carefully laid path. Expect to feel some sort of happiness, because the variety of butterflies were à gogo with charming colours which obviously, is visually attractive. The sanctuary is 54 square km of the semi-deciduous tropical rainforest and one of the nicest ecotourism centres found in Ghana and West Africa in general. As one of the patronised butterfly gardens in West Africa, Bobiri forest and butterfly sanctuary has well over four-hundred kinds of butterflies. These harmless butterflies are at their best during mid-day since they do not like moisture. Meanwhile, the various trees here are grown for research, educational, and ornamental purposes. Institutions, individuals and students once in a while throng to the Bobiri forest for various research.

Cotswold Hiking Trip with Macs Adventure
Being brought up in the UAE, and having to put up with scorching hot weather most of my life, I longed to live in a place where I can take a lengthy walk in nature, and breath in the fresh air of forests and green meadows without sweating to death. I moved to the UK five years ago, and it's like my dream came true! What a stark contrast it is. Now, my family takes every opportunity to go hiking, especially with our close proximity to the Peak District.

TOP 10 Broke Girl Adventures
Let’s be real, summer is approaching with quickness, okay, okay. Some of us (me AF) are awful at saving money. So here it is summer—almost—and I’m kicking myself in the ass because I wasn’t strict on my saving plans. Now I don’t have nearly as much as planned to have an epic summer. I know I’m not the only one with this problem, so I figured I’d post my Summer Broke Girl Bucket List—trust me, it’s worth the read, even if you’re not broke and want to have a lit but cheap summer. Read my shit, that’s all I’m trying to say—just kidding, but seriously, don’t spend and WASTE your money just to have a good time. A good time doesn’t always have to break the bank, bro.
