Packing for an adventure can be stressful for some, yet for others it can be an enjoyable experience. Yes, it is true, we can actually enjoy packing for an adventure.

by stayadventurous on May 6, 2018 in Guest Post, Sunset Sunday
As an “outdoorsy” person I am always on an endless ‘hunt’ for scenic areas and unforgettable views. It’s what I live for. However, one thing that I hadn’t done until recently is taking photos of nature, and now I can’t stop! One of the photos which is especially dear to me is one of a […]

by Craig Zabransky on March 23, 2018 in Destination, Mexico Travel, National Park Travel
“You need to take a step and then jump,” instructed the guide as I approached the ledge pondering the eight-meter plunge into the pool of refreshing water below. The narrow ledge could not support both feet so there was no chance to stop and freeze with fear on the edge. This jump needed to be […]
