You've been brainstorming fun summer activities to do with your family/friends for weeks now, and everything seems to be so... repetitive.

Well, I'm here to tell you all about a great place called The Bronx Zoo. It has been my favorite zoo since I was a little girl, and for good reason.

Stavanger
One of the first places we’ve stopped at on the Britannia cruise was Stavanger. It’s sometimes known as Norway’s oil city and is twinned with Houston and Aberdeen. It’s popularity has been constantly booming in population thanks for its oil economy. It’s a really pretty area and love looking at all the exterior designs of the houses. I like how the streets are colourful and they feel unique and homely. Especially all the reds, yellows, and whites.

How It Feels to Touch the Clouds
Growing up, have you ever wondered what it feels like to fly? Or what it feels like to touch a cloud? I did, but I was also scared of heights. I refused to ride in an airplane and was even terrified to ride roller coasters. So how did I become one of these crazy people that jump out of airplanes, you ask? Well, sit back and enjoy my tale.

Finding Nessie
Nessie, what a beautiful name! I had never heard about it before until my recent trip to the highlands of Scotland, a place known as Loch Ness, situated a few miles away from the small town of Inverness. It was an instant plan, we booked two tickets a night before with the much recommended 'Loch Ness by Jacobite.' It was a guided tour of approximately three hours. We had to reach the pickup point at Inverness Bus station. The adventure started as soon as we boarded the bus. Our bus driver, Ian, took us on a short ride of the city Inverness and then told us the legend of 'Nessie' the monster.

Snowball
It's three PM on a Friday and I find myself at Clark's Market in the Aspen Downtown core. I've got a guitar in the back of my Honda CRV and I'm passing time. This is the second time that I've been invited to play at the networking Snowball event in Aspen, Colorado. It happened randomly before and it's not disappointing that flow again. I know the world is in abundance as I pass a car into town earlier with triple eight's on its license plate. I snap a picture and send it to my fellow friend whom interprets everything metaphysical. She instantly texts back "full of abundance" and I smile. The world is in flow at the moment. It's 5:30 PM and I park my car at the Gazebo park right across from the Molly Gibson. Those two spots have held music nectar in the past and so I reason, why not again? I leave the guitar in the back of the vehicle and stride the Aspen Main Street corridor. There's a fresh feeling to a settled in Friday afternoon. It's one of those moments where the "walk" lights change to walk as I approach the cross streets, there's no pause here and now. I reach the only gas station left in Aspen and then feel that it's time to turn around. The time is approaching six PM. It suddenly occurs to me that I haven't frequented one of my favorite shops in Aspen for a while. "The Flying Emporium" has a cheery welcome sign and I take a left and immediately feel the draw in, "Yes, this feels good." Shae is a long time friend, fellow neighbor and is the creator of the place. Inside various fantastical trinkets adorn a cozy enclosure and I scan my eyes looking for a warm fire in a fire place as it gives off the feeling, but I know has never had one and never will. I think that, a fireplace would ruin this space. I reason, but I search for the reason that my mind has come to this conclusion while I meet the cheery new souls that I find myself with. The Emporium is one of those places where you just might pick up a mug or pen or eat a chocolate and get the inspiration to write a song. My friend Casey comes out the woodwork and little by little I realize this is one of the many Snowball locations. I'm in the place to be and chocolates are shared, which bring on stories as well and people follow and we meet.

Skiing Tenney
The old chairlift was empty as far as the eye could see. Though the weekend temps were comfortably into the 50s under blue skies, no skiers appeared on the slopes below us. We were skiing on a ghost mountain. In March of 2018, Tenney Mountain reopened on a whim eight years after bankruptcy and closure. Now, coming to the end of the month, a few dozen locals were rediscovering Plymouth’s forgotten ski hill.

3 Types of Trips You Might Spot on Your 2018 Travel Feed
2017 was the year for me, along with my doting husband, to stretch our legs and explore the world . We visited an atlas-full of places, witnessed a camera-full of things, and met an address book (OK, Facebook) of great people, but the scholar in me couldn't help but look for budding travel trends in what quickly became our day-to-day lives.
