Why it is Important to Have Travel Insurance.

My first trip outside of the U.S. was with family to western Canada. Inspired by the summertime scenery in the gorgeous rocky mountains including moraine lakes, glaciers, snow covered tips of mountains and wildlife, upon returning home I began to dream of more overseas travels. My next trip was to Costa Rica as part of a college sponsored trip; I remember this was the first time I swam in an ocean with warm water. And the wildlife in Monteverde Cloud Forest was prolific. I then followed this up by another college trip to Nepal. , , Allianz Travel Insurance US

Sofiero Palace and Gardens – August 2024
These beautiful gardens are about a 10-minute drive from the historical center of Helsingborg. Parking is free, in a small gravel lot directly across from the entrance. The estate dates back to 1864 when Swedish royalty, Prince Oscar and his wife Sophie built the magnificent castle. Prince Gustaf Adolf (who later became king) tended the gardens for many years.

Latest book mention posted on , First Date by Mark Scott
If all first dates went the way of this one, there would never be any second dates. Ever. Period. A suicidal jump off a bridge in the dead of winter at night led to a second jump. Both individuals survived, their drifting in the icy waters stopped by an anchored barge. The jump remarkably left them physically not much worse for the wear. More than 200 pages covers a span of time from the jump late at night until early the next morning, a period of only about 8 hours.

My Rural Peruvian Experience
Upon our arrival in Peru, my family and I found ourselves residing in a hotel room adjacent to a beautiful beach. Determined to experience something authentically Peruvian, we made a unique request to our tour guide: a visit to local communities to gain insight into their way of life—a stark contrast from the modern and industrialized society we know in the United States."

After spending three months backpacking around Australia, our inevitable return was imminent. A 27-hour flight awaited us, like the final boss in a video game. However, as always, we managed to do it in a way that was more than enjoyable."
