Destinations Travelers Should Avoid In 2018
There are amazing places out there across the globe that we have not yet seen. From Italy to Peru, Scotland, and India, we hope to someday visit any of these locations and explore what they have in stock for us. As for travelers, we love to climb through these place's landmarks, dine at their best restaurants, and simply enjoy the diverse atmosphere. Either honeymooning or casually looking to book a travel, there are tons and tons of locations to check out. Through various cultures and sceneries, most of us can't narrow down where we would like to visit first.

On the Road Again
Excitement, nerves, wonder, panic, exhilaration. These are all the emotions I was feeling and continue to feel as I packed my whole life into my vehicle in the center of the Historic Lockport NY, and began my journey back across the States to Oklahoma. Being able to cut the amount of things you own down to fit it all in one vehicle knowing that is all you have is a humbling moment. I realized while preparing for my trip how dependent on materialistic items I became. 25 years of collecting and saving things just for the sake of trying to hold onto a memory, had taken over my life. We are taught from a young age that the more you have the more important or valued you’ll be. However during this purge I realized without all these knick knacks, I still have the same memories and the same value on myself. In fact it felt incredibly uplifting to be able to donate everything that has been sitting in boxes to someone that can actually use it and appreciate it. I packed my trunk, put my cat in, and we hit the road at 11:00 am EST.

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?

French Phrases to Know Before Going Abroad
I've been hooked on the French language and culture for years, and it drives me crazy when English speakers insist the French are rude. The reality is actually the opposite, they're very polite! It is often the accusers misunderstanding the culture.
