There are some places you never leave. You may not be there physically, but a piece of you stays behind forever in the place that stole so much of your heart. It lives there, reliving those initial memories as well as waiting for new ones to be made.

Last year, I went to Lisbon for the first time, as well as though the check out was short, thoughts of it never left me. I fell madly in love, as well as the city claimed a hold on me I could never shake.

But I worry a lot about going back to cities I fall in love with the first time around. What if I’m just chasing ghosts? What if it’s not the same? What if I go back as well as hate it? will I just compare the present to the past?

So I touched down in Lisbon last week with a mix of excitement as well as trepidation, but as I stepped out onto the streets, I knew in my bones that we’re soul mates. as well as when you’re just implied to be with someone, all the change in the world doesn’t matter.

It was as though I’d never left. Lisbon as well as I just fit. I walked new streets feeling I’d been there before. I navigated the subway with ease. I felt at home in unknown restaurants. I sat around sharing jokes with Portuguese shop owners, though we didn’t understand each other’s native tongue.

Mostly, I wandered the city dumbstruck as I marveled at just how lovely it is — filled with beautifully tiled houses with red roofs as well as winding cobblestone streets that snake between multi-story homes draped with Portuguese flags as well as hanging laundry.

At every turn, I remarked to my friend, “Damn, how stunning as well as outstanding is Lisbon?”

On this visit, I unwinded at the nearby beach in the town of Cascais, where my ghost-like appearance became a bit much more human after some time in the sun. I dined on incredible fish at Santa Rita, a delicious as well as low-cost downtown restaurant (21 euros for fish, a liter of wine, bread, as well as seafood rice). I ticked off touristy sites like the city history museum as well as the castle. I stayed out so late in the Barrio Alto (an area known for wild nightlife) that I slept many of the next day away. (I still mostly blame the jet lag.)

There are moments traveling when the stars seem to align. Sipping red wine from a café while viewing neighborhood kids play soccer in the street as well as grandmothers hang laundry from windows, I knew how lucky I was to view this destination reveal itself to me in all its glory. Life can’t get better at moments like that.

Lisbon is filled with fantastic architecture, history, charisma, nightlife, people, as well as such amazing budget value that I can’t help but daydream of renting a quiet little apartment or condo on one of those cobblestoned streets.

Some places wow you.

Some places take your breath away.

And then there are places like Lisbon that capture your soul, as well as you’re never the same again.

I’m writing this as I sit on a couch in front of my barely used TV. It’s been over a month since I arrived from my last trip. due to the COVID-19 threat, I canceled my upcoming travels and self-imposed social distancing. and now, Metro Manila is under community quarantine, further chaining me to this surprisingly comfortable couch.

I can’t remember the last time that I have stayed at home for this long. Thankfully, my location-independent job allows me to work from home. but over the past few weeks, even though I choose to stay within the four walls of my apartment, I still get to explore the world and live vicariously through the shows I have been been watching on Netflix.

Here are some travel-related features you might want to check out on the streaming platform. Note, however, that I’m only including titles that are available on Netflix Philippines.

WHAT’S covered IN THIS GUIDE?

1. Dark Tourist
2. Jack Whitehall: travels with My Father
3. Tales by Light
4. Conan Without Borders
5. street Food
6. restaurants on the Edge
7. Our Planet
More tips on YouTube ⬇️⬇️⬇️Related Posts:

1. Dark Tourist

Dark tourist is an eight-episode documentary series that will take you to the places that ordinary travelers wouldn’t even dare considering for their itinerary. new Zealand journalist David Farrier focuses on “dark tourism” or traveling to attractions that are linked to death, tragedy or even the supernatural.

In the pilot episode, he flies to Medellín, Colombia, to meet Pablo Escobar’s former hit man and see the drug lord’s impact in the area’s tourism. He then proceeds to Mexico City, where he witnesses an exorcism. In Episode 7, he explores the origins of voodoo in Africa.

But the most nerve-wracking episode for me is when he journeys to Japan to visit Tomioka, a town severely affected by the Fukushima nuclear disaster, before making his way to Aokigihara forest, a notorious suicide spot in the shadows of Mt. Fuji. These are places I would never set foot on so it was interesting to see someone else do it, to say the least.

2. Jack Whitehall: travels with My Father

In this road trip docu series, British comedian Jack Whitehall goes on a tour with his father Michael around Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam in an effort to reconnect and spend some quality time together, something they have not done in years. What happens is a hilarious journey that not only features fascinating spots but also breaks down the generational divide between the father and son.

The series returned for its second season, this time with the duo road-tripping across Europe, making stops in Germany, Hungary, Romania, Ukraine and ending in Turkey.

3. Tales by Light

“The art of seeing is such an extraordinary sense, and photography is such an extraordinary art. As a photographer, you see these moments which only you see, and you just want to share them and say ‘This is the world we live in’.” – Angela Scott

If you’re an aspiring photographer looking for a big dose of inspiration, get that remote and play Tales by Light, a breathtaking Australian documentary series. A collaborative project between national geographic and Canon, it trails professional photographers as they try to capture incredible moments that tell powerful stories.

All three seasons are now available on Netflix, with the first having six episodes and the rest with three each.

4. Conan Without Borders

A spin-off of the TBS talk show, Conan Without borders takes the ever-energetic Conan O’Brien around world. but unlike most late night shows where the host takes centerstage, the spotlight shifts to the place as Conan tries to connect with locals and get a better appreciation of the culture. Yet, unlike most travel show hosts, he’s not afraid to discuss uncomfortable topics. It’s a great fusion of information and entertainment, steered by an unlikely traveler with a sense of humor.

5. street Food

You’ll find the soul of any destination in the streets, where locals go about their daily lives. and it is in the food where you’ll see the biggest part of it. street food reflects not just the culinary tradition of the place but also the social conditions. It’s why we always search for street food and local markets whenever we travel.

This Netflix documentary not only showcases countries with a strong curbside cuisine but also the success stories of people whose passion influenced the local dining landscape. The featured countries are Thailand, Japan, India, Indonesia, Taiwan, South Korea, Vietnam, Singapore, and the Philippines.

6. restaurants on the Edge

Another food-centered title on Netflix is restaurants on the Edge. While it follows the reality-show format of other restaurant makeover series out there, what sets it apart is a strong focus on the location.

In this series, chef Dennis Prescott, restaurateur Nick Liberato and designer Karin Bohn travel to spectacular corners of the world to renovate a restaurAnt med stjernernes synspunkter, men kæmper forretning. De giver webstedet en opdatering, forbedrer menuen og hjælper ejerne med at nummerere stedet. Når de gør det, graver de sig ind i byens kulinariske arv og kultur for at inspirere deres arbejde.

Der er ikke meget drama eller intriger her. Der er ingen frustreret Gordon Ramsay, der vredt råber på nogen. Men det er et fantastisk køretøj at lære mere om madens mad, de har. Og for det alene er det værd at en strøm.

7. Vores planet

Okay, dette ligner en naturdokumentar end en rejsedokumentar, men naturen er en enorm del af rejsen og turismen. Fortalt af David Attenborough, denne otte-dels-serie indeholder mangfoldigheden i livet på jorden og tackler bevaring og den indflydelse, mennesker får på miljøet. Hver episode indeholder en type habitat og de mange fascinerende livsformer, der kalder det hjem.

Rotten Tomatoes ‘kritiske konsensus siger, “En hornhindens visuelle vidunder og miljøadvokat, vores planetes betagende filmfoto udforsker mere af denne smukke, blå marmor, mens vi præsenterer en presserende opfordring til handling til sine indbyggere.”

This is a guest post by Ayngelina of Bacon is Magic. She will be writing a series of articles on traveling as a solo female in your thirties.

I had a textbook childhood. I went to university, graduated with a degree, worked hard, and eventually landed a great job as an account director at an ad agency. It paid well, and I wore jeans to work, practiced yoga at lunch, and went for pints with coworkers after hours.

But I wasn’t happy. The problem was I wasn’t unhappy either.

I was plugging away, doing my job, with no real highs or any real lows either. I worked, had dinner with friends, and went out on the weekends. I had enough money to go on vacations and do as I liked.

This was what life was supposed to be about, right? work hard to score a great job and money to afford the trendiest clothes and best restaurants? I chased after that in my twenties, but once I hit my thirties, I realized that none of it made me happy.

I had always wanted to travel more than just for a short holiday. On vacations to Europe and Southeast Asia, I met people who gave up their careers to travel long-term. I was envious. I wished I could do that.

After ten years of working, that dream was neatly tucked away in the cabinet of things I wanted to do but was too afraid to. I had lots of excuses: I didn’t make enough money, I didn’t have enough in retirement, I wasn’t where I wanted to be in my career. None of those were true, but they helped me legitimize not traveling. but I promised myself I would someday.

But we all know someday never happens. We tell ourselves we’ll go after the dream in our head…but only if all the stars align, there’s a full moon, and we get a perfect Yahtzee score. jeg

n reality, “someday” rarely comes, and we resign ourselves to simply dreaming about it.

What finally pushed me over the edge was turning 32 and sensing my biological clock ticking. I didn’t know if I really wanted to have kids, but I knew if I did, I had to travel now. I believed once you had kids, your life changed too much to travel.

My friends with children never contemplated going to Colombia or Mongolia; they just wanted a decent night’s sleep and a sale on diapers. If I was going to have children, I wanted one last taste of glorious independence.

When I fantasized about this one last great adventure, I thought it would be with someone else. I tried to beg, cajole, and bully my then-boyfriend into coming, but it wasn’t his dream and I was too scared to go alone.

I had traveled alone once before, on a week’s vacation, eating my way alone around Rome. but that was easy. A week in Italy is much different than selling everything, quitting your job, and taking a one-way flight to Mexico.

This time, I would be giving up my comfortable life, and that was a scary thought.

But one lazy Sunday afternoon as I was watching a movie with the boyfriend asleep on the couch, I looked around and thought:

Is this all there is? Is this my life? Is my dream to travel over?

I was on this track for the boyfriend/apartment to turn into husband/house/kids, and I suddenly realized wasn’t ready for that. There was no convincing him, though — I would have to go alone.

“Someday” had turned into now.

I got up from the couch, went to my laptop, and started figuring out my finances. That was the beginning of the end of my old life.

I was so afraid to go, but more afraid to face the regret of not going. I made a promise to myself, and I was too stubborn to break it.

Somehow, thinking that children were the end to independent travel gave me the push to finally go travel. I slowly started selling off all the pieces of my life, from furniture to clothing to my beloved book collection.

I put on a brave face when I told friends and family I was going, but inside I was terrified.

What would I do alone for a year?

Would I be lonely the entire time? W

ould I be scared to travel in countries where I didn’t know the language?

After going away parties, goodbye lunches, and farewell dinners, my boyfriend drove me to the airport. We broke up outside airport security. As I gave him one last hug, I clung to him tightly. He represented all the safety and security in my life. I had a hard time breaking the embrace. I was so scared of the next step.

But he was stronger and let me go. We said goodbye, and as I walked through security, I looked back the entire time, glassy-eyed, watching him watching me go. I finally turned around and walked through the security doors.

And, as I passed the metal detector, all my fear and doubt vanished. It was replaced with this strong sense of knowing I had done the right thing.

Now, a year later, I look back with certainty that it was the right thing. I have no plans to return to my old life. I have no idea what the future brings on the road, but I’ve never been happier.

Ayngelina left a great job, boyfriend, friends, and apartment to find inspiration in LatinAmerika. Du kan læse om hendes eventyr på Bacon er magi (hvilket det er!).

Manny as well as Olivia are two 33-year-olds who lived the business way of life working as advertising managers for two of the biggest media/telecom conglomerates in Canada. In half a year, they saved $40,000 as well as stop their workstation tasks to comply with their enthusiasm for travel, writing, as well as photography. I wished to interview these two since I believe it is important to show that even though I’m American, the money-saving advice I talk about is universal.

Nomadic Matt: tell everybody about yourselves!
Manny as well as Olivia: We are both 33 years old as well as from Toronto. In half a year, we saved $40,000 and, on July 25, 2012, left Canada to begin our trip around the world. We plan to be on the road for 14-18 months.

How did you discover this website? I’m always curious.
We very first thought about doing an around-the-world trip in October 2011. I mentioned it to a few close friends, as well as one of them, a huge travel buff, mentioned that Nomadic Matt was a fantastic resource. One look at the site as well as we comprehended why.

It was truly motivating to see that we weren’t alone dealing with this option as well as that other people available such as you have effectively complied with their passion. It ended up being easier to plan whatever as well as hesitation provided in to excitement.

What type of trip did you plan?
We were planning a full around-the-world trip (with the exception of South America). starting with Europe we would work our method to Africa, India, Southeast Asia, as well as then Australia as well as new Zealand.

After that, we would take the Trans-Siberian railway with Russia. ideally we will end the tour with a trip to Denmark as well as the Netherlands.

We weren’t precisely sure exactly how long it would take, however our preliminary calculations came in at just under two years.

Were you afraid or anxious before you went on your trip? I was terrified.
Planning a world trip is extremely overwhelming, as well as it’s difficult to expect problems that you may deal with as well as prepare for them in advance. reading your experiences as well as “traveling” with you provides a bit of reassurance that things will work out — even if they don’t always work out precisely as you planned.

How did my site assist you with your trip?
Olivia: When planning a huge trip, particularly one for over a year, you truly requirement to budget, see what you can as well as cannot do. It’s difficult to discover great resources on the internet that tell you what to expect to pay for simple things like food as well as regional transportation.

Your website saved us a great deal of time as well as money, enabling us to budget plan properly utilizing your travel guides as well as travel tips. We have just recently ended up being virtually addicted to your newsletter as we move ahead in our journey.

Manny: When we decided to do a world trip we weren’t sure what to do with our stuff. should we keep it? store it? What about our house? A truth inspect came when we checked out your article on “saving money for your travels.”

So to save money, not be stressed, as well as truly online out our world experience, we offered our stuff, including our home as well as car, as well as took off.

You saved a great deal of money for your trip. exactly how did you do it?
Manny: We produced a spreadsheet that outlined typical everyday living costs for every country as well as multiplied it by the number of days we would spend in each country. We factored in when we would be staying with household or friends, in addition to transportation costs. We then added a 15% buffer, understanding full well that it’s next to impossible to stay right on budget.

After averaging out the entire trip, we came to a everyday expenditure amount: $100 CAD a day. We made sure to have extremely realistic expectations, understanding we would strike our budget plan in Western Europe as well as comprise for it in Asia. While we were working on budgets, we began to tighten up on our spending, particularly dinners as well as nights out.

We did try to online off of one income as well as bank the other. We put some money away in a high-yielding rate of interest account as well as are utilizing $40,000 of it for the trip.

Olivia: I likewise handled a number of different event-planning contracts on the side, working 18 hour days rather often. It wasn’t that easy, however it was workable since we had a remove goal in mind. We made it a point to not dip into our general cost savings or any type of money we made of the sale of our house or cars. This method we have no hesitation or regrets costs the money on our experience as well as can really enjoy it stress-free.

Within six months we were able to raise about $40,000. This enables us about 600 days of travel.

That’s a great deal of travel! Hvad medLivet på vejen har overrasket dig mest?
Vi er virkelig overrasket over nøjagtigt, hvor komfortable vi kan komme på udenlandske steder såvel som forskellige senge hver aften.

En anden overraskelse er sprogbarrierer. Dette er ofte bekymringen for mange rejsende, men det bliver ikke -eksisterende, når du virkelig begynder at rejse. Indikationssprog såvel som forskellige oversætter -apps er virkelig sjovere såvel som at tilføje en ny, sjov dimension til typiske interaktioner.

Ophold på budgetplan kan være et problem for en hel del mennesker. Præcis hvordan forbliver I to på budgettet?
Vi har et regneark, hvor vi holder styr på hver enkelt udgift. På en side har vi klassifikationer såsom restaurant, købmand, transport, indgangsgebyrer, gas, bil osv. På det næste ark har vi totaler for hver klassificering såvel som da vi typiske udgifter til dage for at se, hvor vi er På såvel som hvis vi kræver at begynde at skære ned. Vi deler ofte måltider, da generelle dele er uhyggeligt store.

Vi leverede vores husafhængighed til slik såvel som alkohol såvel som derfor skar en mere stor del af udgifter. Vi bruger ikke useriøst såvel som virkelig lejet helt udstyrede pladser til en smule ekstra udgift såvel som at købe dagligvarer, hvilket sparer en masse penge på mad. Vi spiser meget mindre såvel som sundere, da en hel del af de fødevarer, vi køber, er friske såvel som vi koger dem selv.

Hvilken ting, som du troede ville være en vanskelighed, har vist sig ikke at være?
Olivia: Jeg troede, det ville være en vanskelighed at klare det gennem sådan bitbeklædning. Det viser sig, at jeg ikke engang kræver alle de ting, jeg bragte. Det er lettere at komme forbi på færre ting for at sikre, at ompakning er hurtig såvel som rygsækken er lettere. Jeg kommer virkelig til at grøfte nogle tøj snart.

Manny: Jeg troede, det ville være en kamp om ikke at have en telefon, der holder mig knyttet til omverdenen på alle tidspunkter af dagen såvel som natten den metode, jeg blev brugt til i Canada. Jeg har nu indset, at jeg foretrækker at være væk fra nettet såvel som at forbinde med mit indre selv, mens jeg finder naturens skønhed på hver dag.

Eventuelle afskedigelsesord til at påvirke andre til at overholde i dine fodspor?
Da vi begyndte at fortælle folk om vores tur, har vi stødt på de nøjagtige nøjagtige samme reaktioner – og disse reaktioner er ikke ændret gennem vores tur. Uanset hvilket stadium i livet de er på, nøjagtigt hvor rige eller dårlige de måtte være, siger de alle “Jeg ønsker, at jeg måske gør dette, men jeg kan ikke fordi …”

“Fordi” overholdes normalt af “Jeg har lige købt en condo” eller “vi sparer til en ny bil” eller “Jeg er bange for at forlade mit job.” Det er forståeligt, at alle os kræver penge til at overleve, men der er ingen mening i at overleve, hvis du ikke vil leve.

Vores ene råd er, at når du er på en ægte tur, vil du genkende lige nøjagtigt, hvor lidt du har brug for, ikke bare for at overleve, men at være virkelig glad. Ud over at alle de ejendele, du holder samler, er bare bagage. Alle kan gøre, hvad vi laver, du skal bare virkelig have det såvel som at tage en chance.

Bliv den næste succeshistorie

En af mine foretrukne dele om denne opgave er at høre folks rejsehistorier. De påvirker mig, men endnu vigtigere, de påvirker dig ligeledes. Jeg rejser en bestemt metode, men der er mange metoder til at finansiere dine ture såvel som rejser verden såvel som jeg håber, at disse historier viser dig, at der er mere end en metode til at rejse såvel som det er inden for dit greb for at nå din rejse mål.

To San Diegans dominerer deres frygt såvel som rejser verden rundt

Hvorfor Trish tilbød hvad hun måtte rejse

Hvordan Helen effektivt rejste såvel som frivilligt omkring Afrika

Hvordan (og hvorfor) denne 72-årige dame backpacking verden

Hvordan DJ gjorde sine rejsedrømme til virkelighed

“You will fall in love with Peru.”

Every single one of my close pals who had gone backpacking in South America said the same thing when they met me for the first time after their trip — that I would love Peru the most. I’m not even kidding or exaggerating. Every single one of them.

And it drives me crazy.

Hvorfor? because even without them saying it, Peru has always been up there on my list of destinations that I would sell my worldly possessions for. and all their wonderful stories are amplifying that voice in my head that screams, “WTF are you waiting for?” because really, what have I been waiting for?

Peru’s current tourism campaign posits the country as the richest in the world. That may be quite the stretch to some, but wealth isn’t always about money or gold. Often, memories are precious and moments are priceless. Peru, with its unforgettable natural and cultural wonders, is a real treasure trove.

Peru is visa-free for Filipinos. In fact, citizens of a total of 99 countries and territories can check out Peru without a visa. This includes Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and the Philippines, whose citizens can stay for up to 183 days for tourism purposes. Here’s the list of these jurisdictions:

South America is one of the only two continents that I haven’t set foot in. but it looks like that’s about to change soon. I can safely announce as early as now that we’re hitting Peru next year! but while teleportation and time travel are not yet possible, I’m indulging my extremely eager spirit by admiring other travelers’ unforgettable moments, captured in these inspiring photographs.

1. Huascarán national Park

At 6,768 metres, Huascarán is the tallest mountain in Peru and is part of the Cordillera Blanca range, which is also a part of the larger Andes range. It’s a UNESCO world Heritage site and is popular among mountaineers, adventurers, and nature-lovers!

2. Machu Picchu

Peru’s most iconic site! This 15th century settlement perched 2430m above the Inca’s sacred Valley. This UNESCO world Heritage site was also voted onto the list of the new 7 Wonders of the World.

3. Paracas Peninsula

The Paracas Peninsula is where the desert mingles with the ocean. It’s part of the Paracas national reservation in the Pisco Province, which is a UNESCO world Heritage Site.

4. Rainbow Mountains

This geologic wonder is notoriously hard to reach, but if you’re the type who likes chasing incredible views, these striped slopes are worth the days of tough trek! These painted peaks are part of the Andes and are accessible via Cusco.

5. Salinas de Maras

Der ser altid ud til at være noget dårligt i nyhederne. Hvis det bløder, fører det rigtigt?

Selvom det ikke bløder, er det stadig der. Og alle de dårlige nyheder ser ud til at dæmpe verdens ånd. Økonomien, klimaændringer, politik, forurening, terrorisme, nationalisme, fattigdom, sygdom – listen over udfordringer og ting at bekymre sig om virker uendelig. Fremtiden, selvom den altid er usikker, forekommer endnu mere så for nylig.

Vil planeten være beboelig om et par årtier?

Vil nogle jihadi få hænderne på en nuke og sprænge Paris?

Vil Israel gå i krig med Iran?

Vil der være nok vand og ressourcer til at gå rundt? Falder himlen?

Meningsmålinger viser ofte, at mennesker, selvom de er optimistiske generelt, er bekymrede for verdens korte og mellemlang sigt. Globalisering, en styrke, der tvinger os sammen, har fremskyndet ændringer i verden. Folk kan ikke rigtig lide forandring. Det skræmmer dem.

Men jeg er optimistisk med hensyn til vores fremtid af to grunde: teknologi og unge mennesker.

Teknologi bringer alle tættere sammen og gør arkaiske forestillinger om race og forskel forældede. Firefox blev opfundet af to mennesker halvvejs rundt om i verden fra hinanden, der aldrig mødtes. Jeg ansætter grafiske designere fra websteder uden nogensinde at møde dem. Vi køber produkter fra virksomheder på andre kontinenter. Vi debatterer om rejseblogs med mennesker fra hele verden.

Internettet gør den globale landsby mindre, og gør det derved folk mindre hængt op på forestillinger om race, køn, religion og nationalitet.

Det er fantastisk, fordi en af ​​de triste realiteter er, at de fleste amerikanere ikke rejser til udlandet.

Men med de unge, der ikke er så bange for omverdenen, tror jeg, de vil rejse mere, og at rejsen vil ændre verden. Selvfølgelig er det ikke et universalmiddel, men jeg tror, ​​at øgede rejser vil hjælpe med at helbrede mange af de sociale sygdomme, vi står overfor.

Hvorfor? Fordi rejser udsætter dig for nye ideer, nye kulturer og nye mennesker. Ved at interagere med mennesker fra hele verden lægger du et ansigt til navnene. De er ikke nogle mennesker, der bor “derovre” med et eller andet problem, som du ikke rigtig interesserer dig for. I stedet er de rigtige mennesker med virkelige problemer.

Vi bor enten sammen eller dør alene.

Og så meget som rejse fremhæver vores forskelle, fremhæver det også vores ligheder. Rejser rundt i verden har jeg fundet ud af, at forskellene mellem kulturer er mindre, og at folk over hele kloden alle har de samme forhåbninger og drømme.

Vi vil alle være sikre, glade, arbejde, gøre det, vi elsker, blive elsket og sørge for, at vores børn fører et bedre liv end vi gjorde. Disse idealer er ikke begrænset til et sted eller ideologi. Mens vi gør det anderledes, er vi alle efter de samme ting i livet. Jeg tror, ​​at anerkende, at det vil gøre vidundere for at hjælpe med at helbrede verden.

Rejse ændrer alle. Ingen ser nogensinde på livet på samme måde igen efter at have rejst. Vi kommer alle tilbage med en større påskønnelse af livet og for mennesker. Sådan kan rejser ændre verden.

Det løser ikke den økonomiske krise eller reducerer energiomkostningerne. Det løser ikke klimaændringer. Det sender ikke en mand til månen. Og det vil helt sikkert ikke få dig til morgenmad i sengen, selvom jeg nogle gange ville ønske, at det gjorde det.

Men hvad det kan ændre er social misforståelse og opfattelse. Det kan udsætte folk for problemer, de ikke ville have set derhjemme. Det kan vise dem, at ikke alle muslimer er terrorister, eller at franskmændene ikke rigtig hader Amerika.

Rejse tager folk ud af deres komfortzoner og tvinger dem til at konfrontere noget nyt og anderledes. Og mens Boomers havde deres tid, og Gen X blev lidt for sløret, er nutidens ungdom mere begejstrede for at rejse.

Kald dem “Gen Z”, men undersøgelser og afstemninger bekræfter, hvad jeg ser på vejen – dagens ungdom viser sig i større antal for at prøve at gøre en forskel i verden. De vil se, hvad der ligger uden for deres grænser og have en positiv indflydelse på det. Det er denne generation, der frivillige mere end de andre.

Så derfor er jeg håbefuld. Unge mennesker i dag synes mere interesserede i rejser end folk på min alder! Det er en lovende tendens, og når denne næste generation bliver mere involveret i verden, vil de gå ud og se den mere. Rejse får os ikke alle til at synge Kumbaya og holde hinandens hænder, men det vil hjælpe med at rive nogle af de vægge, der deler os. Det vil vise os, at vi alle er sammen i dette, og at vi ikke er så forskellige, som vi kan lide at foregive, at vi er.

For at citere Maya Angelou:

“Måske kan rejser ikke forhindre bigotry, men ved at demonstrere, at alle folk græder, griner, spiser, bekymrer dig og dør, kan det introducere ideen om, at hvis vi prøver at forstå hinanden, kan vi endda blive venner.”

Book din rejse: logistiske tip og tricks
Book din flyvning
Find en billig flyvning ved hjælp af Skyscanner. Det er min foretrukne søgemaskine, fordi den søger på websteder og flyselskaber over hele kloden, så du ved altid, at der ikke er nogen sten, der ikke er vendt.

Book din indkvartering
Du kan booke dit hostel med HostelWorld. Hvis du vil bo et andet sted end et vandrerhjem, skal du bruge Booking.com, da de konsekvent returnerer de billigste priser for gæstehuse og hoteller.

Glem ikke rejseforsikring
Rejseforsikring vil beskytte dig mod sygdom, skade, tyveri og aflysninger. Det er omfattende beskyttelse, hvis noget går galt. Jeg tager aldrig på en tur uden den, da jeg har været nødt til at bruge den mange gange i fortiden. Mine yndlingsfirmaer, der tilbyder den bedste service og værdi, er:

Safetywing (bedst for alle)

Forsikre min rejse (for dem over 70)

Medjet (for yderligere evakueringsdækning)

before this Davao City tour, I had never tried any zip line. I guess I was chicken like that. After all, I am the poor Traveler, not the brave Traveler.

But because Zip City is part of Airphil express Davao Highland adventure and because we were already there, it would really be a shame to not push through with it. So I mustered all the courage I had and gasped, “Suck it up and just do it.”

Located at Hilltop, Barangay Langub, Davao City, ZIP CITY provides a good view of Davao Gulf and Mt. Apo. Their zip line is considerably shorter than others, which makes it ideal for younger thrill-seekers and first-timers.

After a few minutes of gearing up, the first five from the group climbed the tower and once we were there, the first thing we discovered was that the view was fantastic. Davao Gulf and mount Apo were lovelier from the top of the Zip City tower.

But of course, that amazing feeling went away easily when I realized I was next.

It seemed like “Oh My God” was on loop in my head as the staff was busy making sure I was completely ready for it. and when they let go, it began. despite my fear, I made sure I was holding my video camera and put it on video mode so I could file the experience. It was really scary at first but after a few seconds, the worry was replaced by, ah, I dunno. It was FUUUUUN!!!

Zooooom! photo by grow Boncan.

When it was over, I was actually pretty disappointed. I wanted more. Lol. I wanted to do it again but I didn’t want to fall in line again so I easily dismissed the idea. I guess it was really implied for first-timers like me. One day, I’ll try a much longer zip line!

Oh, by the way, “ZIP CITY is using the conventional equipments approved by UIAA (Union Internationale des Associations d’Alpinisme) international Mountaineering and Climbing Federation.” That’s according to their website. 😀
