North Dakota Isn't as Boring as You Think
North Dakota. Ah, the hilled country side, the vast open plains where you can watch your dog run away for a year. It's always the same landscape; there's a hill over there, a tree row over there, and a field of sunflowers over there. You've got your rednecks at the local, small town bar, and the sheriff is in love with the fire chief's wife.

A Walk in NYC
Central Park Central Park is the most well-known park in NYC, and probably in the world. Start your tour of the park at the Plaza Hotel (South), this way you will immediately be captured by the beauty and magic of this place. In fact the view from this point is breathtaking and so great for photos. The Plaza Hotel was featured in many films, among films like Home Alone 2: Lost in New York. It will be fun to be Kevin McCallister for a day!

A Brief History of Disneyland
When most people hear the word Disney, they often think of Disneyland. Although Walt Disney has had some marvelous ideas, one of his best is Disneyland. More thought was put into the construction of Disneyland than was put into Mickey Mouse himself. All of the hard work surely paid off, as over fifty years later, Disneyland still stands strong, with several versions of the park placed across the globe. Disneyland is the home to millions of Disney fans around the world.

The Concrete Perception of Surfing in Los Angeles
Through the obscureness of battling for waves and escaping airborne Wavestorm surfboards bought for $100 at Costco, I have achieved my own personal sort of paradise whilst surfing in Los Angeles County. Within the deluge of dilettante crowds, set on riding one wave simply to tell their friends back in Oklahoma that they are now a surfer, I have found the anonymity enlightening. Inside the depths of America’s inner cities, pseudo-individuality is brought upon by the commotion of everyday life. Another city light illuminates, a siren clangs on the ears, and a cheerless tenant’s scream echoes from their windowsill through the interurban boulevards; and as this happens, strangers' faces shift past one’s vision anonymously. No one knows who you are except for your shadow inside the vastness of concrete essence. Whatever the emotion is that translates into this feeling of ambiguity is how I have managed to keep surfing somewhat metaphysical for myself. Eavesdropping on the conversations in the lineup as sets of waves pass them by, sounds of the cars honking at one another on the freeway above, and the twinkle of the city lights that begin to touch the horizon at dusk, all highlight the existence of city dwelling in the water. It is a beautiful thing, really, shifting past out-of-stater’s faces while paddling out, weaving through a crowded intersection of traffic on a rising tide, all while knowing that the best guy out and the worst guy out are equals in the flocks and herds of “surfers."

What Makes Disneyland Truly Magical Part 1
Whether you are a long-time visitor of Disneyland or you are doing research before you go for the very first time, I'm sure a lot of you are wondering if it is all it's cracked up to be. I read a comment once that said: "My kids would have had just as much fun at the hotel pool... [the park] isn't worth it." Obviously, this person missed a few things! There are a lot of attractions at Disneyland and if you are too busy trying to ride hop, visit Anna and Elsa, or saving a seat for the parade, you will miss out on what I believe makes Disneyland a truly magical place. Imagineers (the people who create Disney parks, movies, and merchandise) put a lot of quaint and enchanting details that you will miss if you aren't looking for them. In this article, I will share with you a few of those details as you enter the park. I will be writing a list like this for every land of Disneyland Park in following articles. SO, let's get started!

My First Time Traveling
In my 24 years of life I had never traveled before overseas. I have only had experiences traveling in my country, Panama. All these years I’ve been doing some internal tourism, but I haven’t even visited all the places in my country. I have always wanted to travel abroad, for tourism or for studying. Finally, it is going to happen.

Best Places to Vacation on the East Coast
The east coast usually doesn't get as much love as other vacation destinations across the country, but it's about time that changes. Sure, the weather can be brutal during the winter months, but when it finally defrosts, the east coast has some world class beach towns.
