Category: US National Parks

One of the most rewarding opportunities about living in the US is experiencing its National Parks. Years from now, I may not remember the names of the streets i lived on or the restaurants i ate at or the names of the buildings that are world-renowned, but i will never forget the magical feeling of standing on the edge of the Grand Canyon, or Kayaking in Acadia, or looking out into the fall colors of the Valley of Shenandoah or hiking in Arches and Canyonlands. These moments are etched in my memory forever and i encourage everyone who has the chance to visit the US national parks, to take it up.

Is Instagram (And Social Media) killing the joy of travel and destroying the very places we visit; and more importantly is the solution to stop traveling entirely? 

Everglades National Park – Swampy Grasses and Alligators!

The Everglades — Here are no lofty peaks seeking the sky, no mighty glaciers or rushing streams wearing away the uplifted land. Here is land, tranquil in its quiet beauty, serving not as the source of water, but as the last receiver of it. 10 of 59.
