Widen Your Horizons

Why do we travel, or rather why should we all travel more? It is not because we are unhappy where we are currently, or that we are looking for an escape – these reasons are perhaps too negative. Instead let’s look to some positive reasons for to widen our horizons and travel more. In this article we look at the positive effects that travel can bring to each individual that partakes. Whether it’s off to the other side of the world to a Martial Arts retreat to learn Qi Gong, or simply 200 miles down the road to another part of the same country, all travel is great. Your adventures do not have to involve Qi Gong if you don’t want, pick what excites or interests you and then build your travels around these. We’re all different, and the World is a wonderful place, so why stand still? Let’s get moving, and here are the reasons why travel will be great for you.

Transformational

We cannot expect to do the same thing day in and day out and get different results. In other words, unless we add some variety into our lives, then it is possible that we will become stale, tired, bored and unfulfilled. Travel is the perfect remedy to cure this, whilst it isn’t upping roots, it is testing the waters elsewhere – seeing the wonders of the World in all their glory. Returning home after travelling may seem disappointing, but it creates memories that can last a lifetime that can be recounted at any low moments and moreover can act as an inspiration to live your life more. In this sense travel is truly transformational. Through encounters and experiences, you will change your very being to the core, become a better person, or put another way, become an improved version of you. Really there is no reason not to do it, save for financial, so if you can start planning! Continue reading “Widen Your Horizons”

The ‘Sistine Chapel’ of Rotterdam, in Holland

The Markthal Rotterdam (Holland) is a gigantic arch within which there is an attractive and crowded market with more than 90 stalls, eight restaurants, 20 stores and 1,200 underground parking spaces that blend seamlessly with 228 ultramodern apartments. A place that leaves no one indifferent, neither national nor foreigner.

Some compare it with a contemporary cathedral, not only for its architecture and dimensions, but also for its colossal interior open space and for the huge and seductive work of art that covers its very high ceiling, like a Sistine Chapel, but of simply oversized proportions. Although this is a secular cathedral, and more than secular, mundane: totally devoted to food, drinks, leisure, shopping and good quality of life.

10 different experiences to do in Japan sometime in life

Japan is the country where I have noticed the most culture shock in my life. Everything is completely different, like the customs, traditions or way of being of the Japanese. The trip itself is a mix of the most peculiar experiences. Therefore, I have recapitulated in this post the best experiences you have to do in Japan. Do you want to know what are the rarest? We start!

The 10 best experiences to do in Japan (atypical, different and that will surprise you)…..

1. Sleeping in a ryokan

One of the best experiences that I recommend doing in Japan is sleeping in a ryokan. Now surely you are wondering what the nose is that of a ryokan, right? Do not worry; I’ll explain it to you.

A ryokan is the most traditional accommodation in Japan. It is a classic room, quite diaphanous, with a tatami, a table surrounded by cushions or chairs on the floor, a closet where the futon is stored (what will be your mattress that night) and little else.

Forget the Tourist Traps – 4 Cool and Unusual Things to Do in Italy This Summer

Steeped in rich culture and some of the world’s most famous masterpieces, Italy has much to attract visitors from all over the world. However, those are things you’d expect a tourist to do and so they are typically extremely crowded and noisy – not somewhere you want to spend the lazy days of summer.

If you have been dying to see Italy, maybe for the first time ever, by all means visit Vatican City, tour the Catacombs and spend a few days on the canals of Venice. When you’ve gotten all that touristy stuff out of your system, it’s time to enjoy the real Italy where you’ll get an authentic taste of regional customs.

Five rarest luxury hotels in the world

From Malaysia to Canada, through Switzerland, the Netherlands and the United States, there are hotels that are characterized by their originality. The website Booking.com did a search and these were chosen among the accommodations not designed for traditional travelers.

1. Kameha Grand Zurich

Zurich (Switzerland)
It is a new and exclusive hotel located in the center of the city. Its rooms have varied and incredible designs. The Princess Suite, floral theme, has an illuminated mirror with makeup. It costs around 1.3 million pesos a night. If your profile is more ludic, you can choose Fair Play Suite, which has a football table, board games and a boxing bag. And for an otherworldly experience, the recommended one is the Space Suite, designed to make the guest feel like an astronaut. It has ceilings and floor with galactic design, pictures with images of space and a floating bed.

2. Hotel Not Hotel

Amsterdam (Netherlands)
The reception of this accommodation looks like a gallery or a library: it is full of works of art and books. The rooms are another chapter. For example, the Crisis Free Zone has a bow of skulls and carved hearts. There is also an old tram converted into a room and even a (crow’s nest) elevated. All the rooms are different from each other. If you want a quiet place to read, you can get into one of the five rooms hidden behind shelves of books, or find a comfortable table at the Kevin Bacon bar.

3. Fantasyland Hotel

Edmonton (Canada)

The themed rooms of this hotel transport guests to past eras and far corners. You can relax one night in the hydromassage of the Roman Suites and escape to the Superior Modern Polynesian (another room) the following night.

If it was with guys, it has the Luxury Western room, with a Wild West setting, including the county jail. There is also the Igloo suite, ideal for an arctic adventure. If the rooms do not seem enough, Fantasyland also has direct access to West Edmonton Mall, one of the largest shopping centers in Canada, which has two parks, one for amusement and another for water.

4. Madonna Inn

San Luis Obispo (USA)
In this case, the rooms are quite extravagant and ornate, with a style of the Far West. There is the Yahoo suite, with ‘cowboy’ inspiration, and the cavernous Rock Bottom, carefully carved and with a mystical touch. You can take a dip in the pool, admire the California coast and then go to eat at the picturesque Alex Madonna’s Gold Rush Steak House, all pink.

The Louvre Abu Dhabi opens its doors to the world

The Louvre Abu Dhabi (LAD) is an architectural jewel full of artistic treasures. This building, designed by the French architect Jean Nouvel, houses a permanent collection of more than 600 pieces and has just opened its doors.

It is the first place of the cultural district that is planned to be built on the Saadiyat Island or Island of Happiness, a natural island of 27 square kilometers that will host a series of cultural establishments of great importance.

In this metropolis of towering skyscrapers and shining glass and steel, it is a relief to be welcomed under a low dome that seems to float, seemingly weightless and without obvious means of support, on a group of white buildings and cuboids located on the Arabian coast, where the light is blinding and scorching heat.
