Where to visit next?

Here is a game for someone who can't decide where to go to for a holiday.



Atlas Obscura has listed 24,336 places with extraordinary sights to visit at their site. Close your eyes and just roll your mouse all over the map and right click it.  If you can't afford the trip to the destination you have just discovered, I am sure you can find some videos on YouTube about the place so that you can visit it from the comfort of your couch.

By doing that I discovered inforamtion about Soyuz 11 Memorial. Not a place I will consider visiting for a holiday though but the story behind it is interesting but sad.

Abe and Esther - a Tax Story ...

From My InBox:

Abe and Esther are flying to Australia for a two-week vacation to celebrate their 50th anniversary. Suddenly, over the public address system, the Captain announces: "Ladies and Gentlemen, I am afraid I have some very bad news. Our engines have ceased functioning and we will attempt an emergency landing. Luckily, I see an uncharted island below us and we should be able to land on the beach. However, the odds are that we may never be rescued and will have to live on the island for the rest of our lives!"

Thanks to the skill of the flight crew, the plane lands safely
on the island. 

An hour later Abe turns to his wife and asks, "Esther, did we pay our Visa and MasterCard bill yet?" 

"No, sweetheart," she responds. 

Abe, still shaken from the crash landing, then asks, "Esther, did we pay our American Express card yet?" 

"Oh, no! I'm sorry. I forgot to send the cheque," she says. 

"One last thing, Esther. Did you remember to send the Income tax cheque to Revenue Canada this month?" he asks.
"Oh, forgive me, Abe," begged Esther. "I didn't send that one, either." 

Abe grabs her and gives her the biggest kiss in 40 years. 

Esther pulls away and asks him, "What was that for?"
Abe answers, "They'll find us!"

Traveling? Pack less.

Do you tend to be more daring when you are away from home?  I have a tendency to try things that I would never consider doing back home.  Like screaming my head off going on thrill rides at theme parks.  Well, it's part of the holiday package deal after all.

Now I am wondering if I have the guts to pack less in my luggage by going for the Vestido Multi Look. Don't know what's that?  Then watch how it is worn.



Packing less is not a bad idea, especially when the currency of your country is stronger than the one you are going to and there are bargains to be found.

In a limbo? Try international volunteering.

Are you in a limbo wondering which career path you should hop on? Maybe you are still wondering on the courses you should take up. Maybe you would like a change in lifestyle and wondering how, when and where to start.

In that case, it is time for you to explore the world of international volunteering and add some sparks and directions into your life.

Thinking of migrating? First do a search and check out if the country you are interested in is in UniversalGiving's project list and offer to go on an enriching volunteer trip and learn more about the country.

UniversalGiving works with trusted U.S. based and independent NGO (non-governmental organizations) partners and their services are free to individuals and NGOs.
