Sådan gendannes middagsfesten

Sådan gendannes middagsfesten

væk er de beskidte dage på middagsfesten, hvor alle var der for at gøre hinanden, og borde blev pyntet som et forkælet barns dukkehus. Men den moderne middagsselskab har genopfundet sig selv, og dets comeback giver noget helt andet.

Fra det gamle Grækenland og romerne til Henry VIII til VIP -politikere, raconteurs og bon vivants, der spiste sammen i den moderne tid, var middagsfejringerne højden af ​​mode og raffinement.

Men disse formelle anliggender, med deres flere programmer med overdreven catering, Pomp and Live Entertainment, er døde et dødsfald – ikke mindst på grund af GFC i 2008.

Men nu kommer en middagsselskab Phoenix ud af aske af den stodgy, gammeldags sidde-down soiree med sine temaaftener, trykte invitationer og ugelang madlavningsforberedelse.

Gestus af at have venner til middag er tilbage på mode.

Og den enkle fornøjelse ved den madlavning, dine besties et måltid, ses igen som udtrykket af kærlighed, som det skal være.

Hvordan ser en moderne middagsselskab ud? Og hvordan gør du det?

Et af de mest betydningsfulde problemer, folk havde med det traditionelle middagsselskab, var, hvor kompliceret, tidskrævende og dyre de kunne være.

Det var i sidste ende for stressende at være vært for. Eller at deltage i den sags skyld.

Ofte var middagsfejringerne en måde for holdet at vise deres rigdom og for at lade alle vide, hvor fremtrædende de var; Hvem kunne have den mest imponerende gæsteliste.

I disse dage handler det meget mere om at dele mad med de mennesker, du holder af.

Invitationer og RSVP’er er ikke længere en ting. Siddeplaner er moot. Og fuld-on-tabelindstillinger med flere plader, krystalware og mere bestik end en hjemmevarerbutik ville bare se fjollet ud.

I stedet handler det om at parre det tilbage.

Invitationer

Det er unødvendigt at sige, at papirbaserede invitationer er fortiden til alt andet end bryllupsniveau.

Til middagsfester er det længst, du skal gå, oprette en WhatsApp -gruppe.

Nogle gange kan det være sjovt at gøre ting som at skrive invitationer og sende dem … bare vær forsigtig med de vilkårlige uretfærdigheder ved et upålideligt postsystem.

Middagsfest mad

Den traditionelle middagsselskab var så luksuriøs som menneskelig mulig, men dette blev mere drevet af værtens ego end løftet om en velsmagende middag.

Der er så mange måder, du kan nærme dig menuen i disse dage.

En langsom mad som min foretrukne lammeskulderopskrift fungerer godt, ligesom de fleste sæt og glem retter. Det efterlader dig tid til at få huset klar … eller bare slappe af! Jeg kan også godt lide at lave en karryfest til venner af samme grund. Her nogle af mine foretrukne retter.

Tjek nogle af vores andre opskrifter her.

Hvis du ikke har lyst til at lave mad, er der en tendens til at få folk til at bringe en skål. Dette kan være en rigtig sjov måde at imødekomme festen på, og alle vil føle, at de har lagt noget i det.

Middagsfest drinks

Traditionelt ville middagsfejringerne starte med en cocktail, som jeg stadig synes er en dejlig touch. Selvom det er et glas bobler eller en øl, nyder alle noget at drikke, når de først ankommer.

Hvorfor ikke tjekke den blandede drikkebog, vi skrev. Klik her for at læse mere.

Derefter er det helt så meget som dig. Match vin, match ikke vin. Bland dine egne blandede drikkevarer eller køb RTD’er. Kør din egen bar eller få gæster til at medbringe en flaske. Det er lige så meget som dig – mere vigtigt er det lige så meget som hvad du tror, ​​dine venner foretrækker.

Hvis du leverer drinks til alle, er det et dejligt touch at have ikke-alkoholiske muligheder af top kvalitet.

Der er nogle fremragende 0% øl, bobler, vine og spiritus til rådighed i disse dage. Her er vores indlæg på et firma, der hjælper med ikke-alkoholholdige drikkevarer.

Læg dit bord

På sin højde handlede middagsfesten om at vise din sofistikering. Fin sølvtøj og masser af det.

Frugt gafler, kaviar skeer, sennepsstier, aspargesang – jo mere uklar, jo bedre.

I disse dage er ideen at holde det enkelt.

Hvis du har separat hovedret og hovedknive og gafler, og du vil bruge dem, på alle måder. Bare husk, du er den, der laver opvask!

Plader og porcelæn, synes jeg dog er vigtigere, men det er stadig lige så meget som personlig præference.

Vi elsker virkelig vores Gio -middagssæt fra Wedgwood. Det er moderne, men alligevel tidløst og er så dejligt at spise fra.

Mønsteret er subtilt og giver dig en guide til, hvor meget mad du skal lægge på din tallerken! Selvfølgelig er det ikke vigtigt, men at have smuk bestik til dine venner at nyde middag på gør en overraskende forskel.

Wedgwood Gio-sættet er et 16-delt sæt i fint hvidt knogler Kina, og den bedste del af dette sæt er, at det er fantastisk til daglig brug, men ser stadig godt ud til en middagsselskab, hvor du vil trække flere stop ud.

Og fordi det er Bone China, som er det stærkeste materiale i porcelænet og Kina -keramikken, er dette sæt ideelt til regelmæssig brug, og selv når din middagsselskab bliver lidt ujævn!

Tjek rækkevidden her.

Wedgtræ

I godt over 260 år har Wedgwood været et symbol på keramikkeramik af højeste kvalitet – fra middagssæt som disse til ornamenter – i verden.

Foretrukket af Royals siden 1700 -tallet sidder Wedgwood også på borde i Whitehouse og husene til mange andre statshoveder. Dronning Elizabeth II fik Wedgwood Royal Warrant i 1997.

Men der er så mange ting ved Wedgwood, som mange mennesker ikke kender.

For eksempel kan grundlæggeren af ​​Wedgwood og uden tvivl verdens mest berømte Potter – Josiah Wedgwood – ikke bruge et Potter’s Wheel.

Og vidste du, at Josiahs barnebarn var ingen anden end Charles Darwin? Eller at han var en aktiv figur i afskaffelsen af ​​slaveribevægelse?

Vi kan også takke Josiah for ting som pengene-tilbage-garantien, gratis levering og købe en få en gratis-alle hans ideer.

Det er ikke underligt, at Wedgwood fortsat er et husholdningsnavn, især da håndværket bag produkterne er så bemærkelsesværdigt. Når en lærling skal træne i 10 år for at blive en mesterhåndværk, forstår du, hvor meget arbejde der går ind på hvert emne.

Men i sidste ende, mens alle disse kendsgerninger producerer samtalepunkter under din middagsselskab, er det den virkelige fornøjelse at have Wedgwood -plader under den mad, som dine venner nyder, den virkelige fornøjelse.

Den moderne middagsselskab

Indstil dine egne regler! Kog noget let eller bede venner om at medbringe en plade. Gør det til en regelmæssig dato med dine bedste venner eller brug den som en lejlighed til at vokse din vengruppe ved at invitere nye bekendte.

At samle omkring et bord med venner er, hvor de bedste samtaler sker, og minderne er lavet.

Vi blev begavet Wedgwood -produkterne, men vores meninger forbliver vores egne.

The newest addition: star Cinema’s summer offering “You’re My Boss.” While the majority of the sequences were set in the corporate world, the latter part was shot in Batanes, with its mesmerizing landscapes giving a stark contrast to the usual office setting. Starring Coco Martin and Toni Gonzaga, the film used Batan and Sabtang Islands as the places where the characters’ budding romance fully blossomed.

Disclosure: I co-wrote the film with its director, Antoinette Jadaone, so of course, I am promoting it. There are a few spoilers below so read at your own risk.

1. Honesty Store

The film is about many things, but its biggest theme is HONESTY, making this humble coffee shop an important part of the film.

Unmanned and always open, the Honesty shop is a sari-sari store and coffee shop that puts so much trust on its customers. You get what you want and drop your payment at designated boxes, a testament to the admirable values of the locals. The province boasts virtually ZERO crime rate.

2. Ivana Port

Situated just next to the Honesty store is Ivana Port, the takeoff point for people taking the boat to Sabtang Island, where Pong (Coco Martin) was born and raised.

3. Sabtang Port and Lighthouse

There was one aerial shot of this side of Sabtang Island, with the lighthouse dominating the landscape.

4. Chamantad-Tinyan Viewpoint, Sabtang Island

Where Georgina (Toni Gonzaga’s character) fully realized she has completely fallen in love with Batanes. (On my count, 1… 2… 3….)

A foot trail takes visitors across rolling hills to a viewing area. Rocky cliffs rising from the slopes of the hills, creating natural frames for the fantastic vista of Chamantad Cove below.

5. Marlboro country (Racuh a Payaman)

That scene where Pong and Georgina were taking lots of selfies as the day was coming to a close — it’s here!

It is one of those places where you can just sit, relax, and wallow in the utter peace and beauty before you. pick a hillcrest and you’ll have the most picture-perfect view of the Tayid Lighthouse to the left, Mt. Iraya to the right, and Diura beach in between. absolutely stunning.

6. Tukon Church

The wedding conversation happened here.

Boulders make up the church’s walls, interrupted only by carved wooden doors and stained glass windows. Inside, hand-painted images of the province’s patron saints, one for each municipality, wrap its ceiling.

7. Octagon Bed and Dine

I said, “Two bedrooms.” Hindi two beds!
Where Pong and Georgina stayed. The script originally called for Fundacion Pacita but it was unavailable on the dates of the shoot.

8. Imnajbu point (Alapad Pass)

Alapad Pass
Motorcycle scene. This is also the iconic setting of one of the most unforgettable scenes in Hihintayin Kita sa Langit.

9. Chavayan Village

A stone house in Chavayan Village
Where Pong’s grandparents live. One narrow street weaves the small settlement, lined with sinadumparan stone houses. A tiny chapel and a house mark the end of the concrete road and the start of the sandy shore.

10. Chavayan Beach

Chavayan Beach
That sweet sunrise scene was shot here. One corner lodged tataya boats, waiting for another fishing session. The sand here is far from fine but mixed with shingles and small pebbles. The waves, ferocious as usual.

You’re My boss is showing in more than 170 theaters nationwide.

GAINING THE question OF travel

GAINING THE question OF travel

Updated: 02/05/2019 | February 5th, 2019

A few months ago, I was in a slump. After four years on the road, I was a bit burnt out. since my last “rest,” I’d been traveling for 11 months solid. That’s a long time to go without a breather. I composed about exactly how I had lost the question of travel. Som jeg sagde:

“The more I travel, the more I recognize travel is the only thing I want to do, as well as I would never trade my way of life for a cubicle. But, eventually, travel does ended up being repetitive: more trains, more waterfalls, more beaches, more, more, more. I’ve been lost: I’ve done the hostel thing, I’ve ridden on trains, I’ve explored jungles, seen bridges, as well as got drunk with people from around the world. I’ve partied, I’ve slept, I’ve satisfied countless faces I’ll never see again, I’ve taken day trips as well as explored ruins… In short, I’ve done all these activities over as well as over igen. as well as that repetition can sometimes take the glitz out of travel.“

After so long on the road, I was just going with the motions. The only treatment that works when I’m feeling this method is a break.

Sometimes when you do something so much, it can take the radiate off it. It becomes…work.

Travel ended up being work for me. I understood it was ending up being tedious, as well as soon everybody was telling me the exact same thing. “Stop as well as relax,” they said. “There’s no reason to push yourself.”

And they were right.

I’ve spent the summertime in new York City as well as the months have flown by. It only seems like yesterday that I was landing in nyc for a conference. now August is coming to an end as well as I am heading to see household in Boston. I’m unfortunate to leave new York. however it was a fantastic break.

And a necessary one.

One thing I am prepared for is to travel again. Living a non-nomadic way of life was great. It provided me time to relax, get some work done, catch up with friends, as well as ended up being a regional again.

To me, travel isn’t about moving. It’s about getting to understand a place. I got to understand new York a bit much better this summer.

But my true nature is that of a nomad. I like life on the road. It’s part of who I am. After two months in one place, I’m prepared to be back out there. My mind is churning with new trip ideas. I’ve been planning trip after trip. There are a million concepts racing with my mind again.

In October, I sling on my backpack as well as hit the open road again. I have a month to prepare, a seminar to attend, as well as before I understand it, I’ll be off again.

And so the countdown begins.

My buddy Scott when stated that when something becomes a grind, it’s not worth doing anymore. You requirement to take a break.

He was right.

Whether you’re a painter, teacher, traveler, office worker, or programmer, costs as well much time on one task isn’t good.

The brain as well as body requirement a break. Otherwise, you’ll get burnt out. That occurred to me. I got stressed out on travel as well as I needed a break.

Travel burnout does happen. You don’t requirement to be a four-year traveler to feel it. even on a short trip, running around constantly can lead to travel burnout. After a while, things can begin to feel like just “another.” one more waterfall, one more city, one more this, as well as one more that. as well as when that happens, you lose the question as well as beauty of traveling. In a way, it becomes meaningless. You don’t appreciate where you are or what you are doing.

When that happens, it’s frequently finest to stop as well as relax. stay in one location as well as get to understand it. soon you’ll be getting itchy travel feet again. Taking a rest when you’re on the road lets you gain the question of travel again.

Now I’ve had my rest as well as I’m prepared to get out there. It’s time to check out the world again. If new York has taught me anything, it’s that there’s nothing wrong with taking a break.

To be a traveler, you don’t always have to be on the move. You can just be finding something new. After a while, you can move on once again as well as appreciate just exactly how wonderful the journey truly is.

14 things TO SEE and do in PORTLAND, OREGON

14 things TO SEE and do in PORTLAND, OREGON

Posted: 7/12/21 | July 12th, 2021

Portland, Oregon, is one of America’s many distinct cities. While it often gets overshadowed by Seattle to the north, Portland is one of the US’s best and many interesting metropolises. With a world-class food scene, plentiful local breweries, and postcard-perfect scenery, it’s unexpected that much more people don’t visit this eclectic city.

Nicknamed “the City of Roses” (after roses became a common garden staple in the late 19th century) and “Stumptown” (due to lots of tree stumps remaining after the city expanded and clear-cut the surrounding area in the mid-19th century), Portland is known for its liberal tendencies, its food trucks, and its hipsters (thanks, Portlandia).

My first trip here was back in 2011 for Thanksgiving. While in Spain, I made friends who lived in Portland and paid them a visit on my way to Asia. What started as “like” during my first trip turned into love on my second.

And, because then, I’ve went to nearly every year. Portland is on the very tiny list of cities I would actually live in (the nearby Oregon coast is spectacular too!

What I really love about Portland is the high quality of life. It’s compact and easy to get around, there is good public transportation available, the locals are friendly, it’s environmentally conscious, and, many importantly, the food and beer scene here is amazing.

While the city has developed a bit of a bad rap the last year, the overwhelming majority of that has been overblown by the media. While Portland isn’t ideal (no city ever is), it’s not nearly as “dangerous” as certain people would like you to believe. A city of over 600,000 people, it’s not being burnt to the ground and problems are confined to a small section downtown. Don’t let the media make you scared to visit this amazing city.

To help you make the most of your visit, here are my favorite 14 things to see and do in Portland:

1. Take a walking Tour

I always start my visits to a new city with a walking tour. It’s the best way to learn about a destination, get the lay of the land, see the main sights, and have an expert local guide answer all your questions.

Portland walking trips provides much more than half a dozen different trips around town, focusing on food, the main sights, and Portland’s underground and alternative culture. trips last a couple hours and cost around $23 USD. They’re a great way to kick off your visit. I really liked their Underground Tour, which focused on a series of tunnels below the city that have been used for all kinds of nefarious purposes.

2. See Pittock Mansion

Built in 1914, this is a spectacular French Renaissance-style mansion located in the western part of town. The 46-room estate, originally owned by a rich couple from England, is part of the national Register of historic places and includes stunning artwork and furniture collected by the original owners. You can explore the grounds (which span over 40 acres) and buildings by yourself or take a guided trip (the price is the same; however, guided trips are only scheduled when volunteers are available).

3229 NW Pittock Dr, +1 503-823-3623, pittockmansion.org. open Thursday-Monday from 10am–5pm (4pm in the winter). Admission is $12 USD.

3. Hike forest Park

Located on the northwestern edge of town, forest Park is one of the nation’s largest urban parks. Covering a sprawling 5,000 acres, it’s home to over 70 miles of hiking and biking trails. There are over 100 species of birds here, as well as 62 different species of mammals. It’s also home to the Witch’s Castle, an abandoned stone building covered in moss. (It has no connection to witches. The name came from students who used to use the site for secret parties in the 1980s).

Some trails worth checking out are the Wildwood loop trail (easy, 2 hours), forest Park Ridge trail (moderate, 1.5 hours), and the Dogwood Wild Cherry loop (easy, 1.5 hours).

4. browse at Powell’s City of Books

This is the largest independent and used bookstore in the world, home to over a million books. recognized in 1971, the store takes up an entire city block and has 3,500 different sections. It purchases upwards of 3,000 new and used books each and every day so if you’re a book lover like me, you could easily spend a good chunk of time here!

1005 W Burnside St, +1 800-878-7323, powells.com/locations/powells-city-of-books. open daily 9am–10pm.

5. Devour delicious Donuts

Portland is known for its donuts. If you Google the city or search for it on social media, donuts will undoubtedly pop up. Voodoo Doughnut put the city on the map with its strange and fantastic combinations, such as Cap’n crunch or maple bacon. It also makes cream-filled phallic donuts as well — so you can see why it’s become a quirky staple of the city.

Some locals might argue that Voodoo is for tourists, preferring donuts from Blue star instead. You can’t go wrong with either choice. Why not try bothOg se selv. Du bor kun én gang, trods alt!

6. Vandrende den internationale rosetesthave

Hjem til over 10.000 rosebuske og 610 sorter er denne have, hvor adskillige virksomheder tester nye sorter af roser (nogle evalueres her år, før de er kommercielt tilgængelige). Det er den ældste Rose Test Garden i landet. Under første verdenskrig blev roser fra hele verden sendt her til test og opbevaring. De er også vært for en årlig konkurrence om byens bedste rose. Roserne blomstrer mellem april og oktober, skønt der også er et amfiteater her, der holder alle slags begivenheder, såsom klassisk musikoptræden og skuespil. Gå ikke glip af Shakespeare Garden, som kun har typer roser, der er henvist til i Shakespeares skuespil.

400 SW Kingston Ave, +1 503-823-3636. Åbn dagligt 5 til kl. 10. Optagelse er gratis.

7. Se den japanske have

Beliggende nær Rose Test Garden blev disse japanske haver skabt i 1960’erne som et symbol på fred mellem 2. verdenskrig modstandere. I dag betragtes det som den bedste japanske have uden for Japan. Spænder over 12 hektar, det inkluderer konventionelle gazebos, vandfald, damme, zen -sandhaver og masser af vandrestier. Det er meget afvikling og fredeligt og fantastisk året rundt, selvom det er særligt spektakulært i efteråret, når bladene ændrer sig. Det modtager ingen finansiering fra byen, så det er ikke billigt, men hvis du vil undslippe byen i et stykke tid, er det værd at hver krone.

611 SW Kingston Ave, +1 503-223-1321, Japanesegarden.org. Åbn dagligt kl. 10 til 17:30. Optagelse er $ 18,95 USD

8. Besøg freakybutture peculiarium og museum

Hvis du søger efter noget, der er bestemt underligt og ukonventionelt under din rejse, kan du besøge Peculiarium. Dette uhyggelige emporium er fuld af alle slags mærkelige tegninger og souvenirs, gag -legetøj, ukendte oddities i krukker og endda en enorm bigfoot -statue. Der er falske afskårne kropsdele (som er meget naturtro), og de serverer også friskbagte cookies … med bugs, skorpioner og måltider inde i og på dem.

Byens slogan er “Hold Portland underlig.” Dette sted afspejler det perfekt.

2234 Northwest Thurman Street, +1 503-227-3164, Peculiarium.com. Åben onsdag – mandag fra 11 til 19. Optagelse er $ 5 USD. Ikke egnet til børn.

9. Tag en madtur

Hvis du er en foodie som mig, kan du ikke besøge Portland uden at tage en madtur. Du får prøve nogle af byens bedste mad, lære om dens kultur og historie og møde andre foodie -rejsende som dig selv. Det er den bedste måde at få det kulinariske lag af landet, før du tager af sted på egen hånd for at spise din vej rundt i byen.

Forfrown leverer et par forskellige madture med fokus på forskellige køkkener og regioner i byen. Det vil give dig et solidt resumé af, hvad velsmagende tilbud Stumptown kan skille sig op. Ture varer omkring tre timer og koster 115 USD pr. Person.

Lost Plate kører også et par specizled madture, inklusive en, der fokuserer på donuts og en, der helt klæber til madbiler. Deres ture starter ved $ 49 USD.

10. Slap af i Laurelhurst Park eller Washington Park

Portland har masser af det grønne rum at slappe af og nyde. Laurelhurst Park blev udviklet af det samme hold, der udviklede Central Park i New York. Det har en afslappet atmosfære og er populær blandt både lokale og besøgende. Der er en ænderdam, cykelstier og et off-tall hundeområde.

Washington Park er et andet godt valg, hvis du ønsker at slappe af med en bog og glæde i vejret. Parken inkluderer mindesmærker for de koreanske og Vietnamkrig, Holocaust og Lewis og Clark Expedition, og giver også fantastiske udsigter over Portland og Mt. Hood.

11. Forkæl dig med madbiler

Et af de mest væsentlige elementer i Portland -madscenen er dens madbiler. Madbilerne er en enorm del af den lokale kultur, og du kan finde stort set hvert køkken og hvert prispunkt også. Der er over 500 madbiler i byen, og de er typisk samlet i små bælg, så du kan prøve et par forskellige uden at skulle gå langt.

Du kan finde masser af velsmagende muligheder på SW Fifth Ave og ved madpods (fødevarebiler) på Cartopia, Third Ave og Hawthorne Asylum. Nogle af mine favoritter er MF velsmagende, burger Stevens og Desi PDX.

12. Besøg Portland Art Museum

Åbnede i 1892, dette er det ældste kunstmuseum i det nordvestlige Stillehav. Det er også et af de ældste gallerier i landet (den syvende ældste at være nøjagtige). Det er hjemsted for over 42.000 genstande, fra moderne kunst til indianske værker til asiatisk kunst og alt derimellem. Der er permanente udstillinger, roterende kortvarige gallerier og en udendørs skulpturpark. Der er en masse variation her, så sørg for at tjekke webstedet for at se, hvad der sker under dit besøg.

1219 SW Park Ave, +1 503-226-2811, Portlandartmuseum.org. Åben onsdag-søndag kl. Optagelse er $ 20 USD. Optagelser er typisk helt gratis den første torsdag i måneden fra kl. 17-20 og kun $ 5 USD på fredage fra17:00 til 20:00, men disse er i øjeblikket på pause på grund af Covid.

13. Drik noget øl

Portland er en af ​​de øl hovedstæder i Amerika. Der er over 70 mikrobryggerier i byen – meget mere end nogen anden by i landet – og Portlandians tager deres øl alvorligt. Håndværksølbevægelsen startede her tilbage i 80’erne, længe før den fangede andetsteds. Talrige bryggerier har deres egne ture såvel som deres egne restauranter, så du kan glæde dig over en pint og en bid at spise.

Der er også multi-brewery-ture fra virksomheder som City Brew Trips (ture starter ved $ 89 USD). Der er også Eastside Craft Brewery Walking Tour, der varer 2,5 timer og koster $ 55 USD. Hvis du er en håndværksøl -aficionado, skal du sørge for at forkæle dig (ansvarligt)!

14. Vandretur Columbia River Gorge

Hvis du vil komme ud af byen og strække benene, skal du gå til Columbia River Gorge. Beliggende cirka en time øst for byen i bil er det hjemsted for vandfald, smukke udsigter og vandrestier. Det er det største nationale smukke område i landet og skaber et godt sted at tilbringe en dag. Oregon’s højeste vandfald, Multnomah Falls, kan findes her såvel som et hundrede år gammelt observatorium, der giver udsigt over det omgivende maleriske landskab.

Nogle foreslåede vandreture er Dry Creek Falls (Easy, 2 Hours), Wahkenna Falls Loop (Moderat, 3 Hours) og Sultvation Ridge og Warren Lake (Hard, 8 Hours). Hvis du ikke har en bil, er der en daglig shuttle til rådighed for $ 20 USD (tur / retur).

***
Portland er en af ​​mine foretrukne amerikanske byer. Det er sjovt, eklektisk og energisk, og det har meget at byde på (især hvis du er en foodie- eller håndværksølelsker). Det er meget meget mere opmærksomhed, end det bliver – både fra indenlandske og internationale rejsende. Hvis du befinder dig i PNW, skal du sørge for at tilbringe et par dage her. Dine smagsløg vil takke dig!

Last updated: 9/13/21 | September 13th, 2021

In recent years, Barcelona has ended up being one of the most prominent destinations in Europe. While 5 million people phone call the city home, over 32 million travelers go to each as well as every year. (It is really one of the worst cities in the world for overtourism so go to in the off-season!)

Despite the crowds, I like visiting Barcelona. Every go to makes me autumn in like with it over as well as over again.

The city is the funding of the Catalonia region in Spain, an area that has been fighting for self-reliance for many years. In fact, Barcelonans think about themselves to be Catalonian — not Spanish.

Barcelona was established by the Romans as a colony called Barcino (be sure to go to the ruins beneath the city), however the very first human settlements in Barcelona really date back to Neolithic times. The city ended up being the economic as well as political center of the Western Mediterranean in the middle Ages as well as it still has incredible Gothic structures around the place. more recent design includes Gaudí’s work from the 19th as well as 20th centuries – it dots every district as well as adds a flamboyant appeal to the city.

Barcelona is likewise a foodie’s dream destination. From traditional dishes like tortilla, paella, jamón ibérico as well as patatas bravas, to Catalonian specialties such as pamtomaquet (Catalonian bread with tomato), esquiexada (salt cod) as well as bombas (fried potato balls), Barcelona is haven for foodies like me who like to eat our method around a new destination.

With tasty food, incredible history as well as architecture, perfect weather, as well as a vibrant nightlife, Barcelona is a city that can entertain anyone.

To assist you make the most of your next visit, right here are the very best things to see as well as perform in Barcelona. They will provide you a feel for the city, enable you to eat all the very best food, as well as get you away from the overbearing crowds!

1. Take a free walking tour

I like free walking tours. I believe they are the very best method to get to understand a new city as well as I always try to take one anytime I go somewhere new. You get to see the primary sights, satisfy other travelers, as well as chat with an professional regional guide who can share their insider tips as well as advice. just be sure to tip your guide at the end! My suggested walking tour business in Barcelona are:

Free tours By Foot

2. get lost in the Barri Gotic

Barcelona’s old Gothic Quarter (Barri Gotic) is my preferred part of town. It’s house to the oldest parts of the city, including the stays the Roman wall as well as a number of medieval buildings. It’s a community full of bars, clubs as well as restaurants now. While it is a bit touristy, to me, it’s likewise the most gorgeous area in the city with narrow, winding streets as well as historic buildings that make you feel like you’ve stepped back in time. spend a few hours getting lost in this district. You won’t regret it!

3. go to the museum of the history of Barcelona

I’ve visited a great deal of city museums over the years, however Barcelona has one of the very best there is. opened in 1943, the museum is house to over 4,000 square meters of Roman ruins (located below the museum) that you can walk through. There is likewise a free (and rather detailed) audio guide in addition to meticulous explanations of the exhibits. even if you’re not a history buff, you’ll get a great deal out of this museum. It provides a much much better sense of the city as well as its past (and the ruins truly are amazing!).

Plaça del Rei, +34 932 56 21 00, ajuntament.barcelona.cat/museuhistoria/ca. open Tuesday-Sunday from 10am-7pm (8pm on Sundays). inspect the website for additional details as not all the attractions are open every day. Admission is 7 EUR per person.

4. See the Grand royal palace

Built in the 14th century, the Palau Reial major was the house of Barcelona’s counts. found near the history museum, it later housed the Kings of Aragon (the rulers who presided over the region) from 1035 up until the 15th century (though most of the palace stays date to the 14th century). The palace is made up of three unique buildings which were all developed at different times (two of which are thought about gothic masterpieces). It includes a detailed history of the city as well as region as well as is stated that it’s where Christopher Columbus returned after his “discovery” voyage to North America.

The palace shares hours as well as admission costs with The museum of the history of Barcelona above.

5. admire Barcelona Cathedral

Work started on this Gothic cathedral in the 13th century as well as lasted over 150 years. officiallyunderstood as The Cathedral of the holy cross as well as Saint Eulalia, it was consecrated in 1339 as well as has two huge spires that stand over 53 meters (174ft) tall, vibrant discolored glass, as well as incredible wood carvings inside the elaborate as well as spacious primary chamber. work on the cathedral didn’t surface up until the 19th century when a regional businessman funded the majority of the staying costs for the present façade, which comply with original sketches from the 13th century.

If you do want to go inside (and you should), be sure to go to the upper terraces as you’ll get an incredible view of the city.

Placita de la Seu 3, +34 933 428 262, catedralbcn.org. open Monday-Saturday from 10:30am-6:30pm (until 5pm on Saturdays). The cathedral is closed to tourists on Sundays. For those looking to worship, the cathedral is open everyday from 8:30am-12:30pm as well as 5:45pm-7:30pm on weekdays (times vary somewhat at weekends). Admission is 9 EUR for tourists as well as free for worshipers.

6. roam Park Güell

Park Güell is a gorgeous as well as sprawling 45-acre garden complex designed by world-famous designer Antoni Gaudí. Dating to the early 1900s, it’s one of the many Gaudí works in the city available to the public. Today, it’s a world Heritage site as well as municipal garden that’s free to go into (you can gain access to most of the park for free, though the interior sections fee admission).

The focal point of the park is the primary terrace, which is surrounded by a long bench in the type of a sea serpent. The park is right near the famous La Sagrada Familia so it’s simple to go to both back-to-back. It’s a gorgeous as well as vibrant park however it likewise gets hectic so try to go early or on a weekday when the crowds are thinner.

Carrer d’Olot, parkguell.barcelona/en. open everyday from 8:30am-6pm. Admission for the interior section is 10 EUR per person. Guided tours are offered for 22 EUR. If you buy tickets, make sure you book them in advance as they offer out quickly.

7. See La Sagrada Família

La Sagrada Família is probably the most famous of Gaudí’s work — even though it’s still not completed (construction began in 1882 as well as is arranged to be completed in 2030). Gaudí was a devout Catholic as well as the church was his final project, one he spent the last 10 years of his life working on.

Like all of Gaudí’s work, the church (which was consecrated as a minor basilica in 2010) blends different themes as well as influences as well as is a mix of both Gothic as well as Art Nouveau styles.

While you can take in the church from the outside, I’d motivate you to check out the interior with an audio guide. It covers the entire history of the church as well as will provide you an insightful overview of this unique (and massive) project.

If you can, try to go to between mid-morning as well as late afternoon so you can see the sunlight cascade throughout all the discolored glass.

Plaça de la Sagrada Familia, +34 932 080 414, sagradafamilia.org. open everyday 9am-8pm. Admission is 26 EUR for a fundamental ticket with an audio guide as well as 27 EUR for a ticket with a guided tour. Tickets are only offered online. book in advance as they vanish quickly.

The Mercat de Sant Josep de la Boquería (La Boquería for short) is a public market near La Rambla. the market has been at this place for numerous years as well as is house to a delectable array of food stalls as well as restaurants.

Since it’s right off La Rambla it gets incredibly hectic so try to get there early. There’s a wide range of seafood, including fish, shrimp, octopus, as well as oysters, in addition to nuts, candy, wine, as well as tapas. It’s a inexpensive location to grab a snack as you check out the city.

Rambla, 91, +34 934 132 303, boqueria.barcelona/home. open Monday to Saturday from 8am-8:30pm.

9. go to Casa Batlló as well as Casa Milà

Casa Batlló is one of Gaudí’s more attractive creations. found in the Eixample district of Barcelona, he spent two years on this vibrant project. like much of his work, the style is heavily influenced by the Art Nouveau style. The facade was embellished with a mosaic made from damaged ceramic tiles that he collected from the trash of a close-by glass shop, which makes the building almost glow in the sunlight. The roof is arched as well as tiled as well as has been likened to the back of a dragon. It’s one of my preferred Gaudí buildings.

Just a couple hundred meters away from Casa Batlló is Casa Milà. understood as La Pedrera (“the stone Quarry”), this building has a facade of limestone (hence the nickname). developed from 1906-1910, Gaudí’s goal was to evoke the sense of a snowy mountain. He likewise organized for Casa Milà to be a spiritual sign (he was a devout Catholic) as well as included great deals of religious aspects in the design, such as an excerpt from the rosary prayer along the cornice. He likewise included statueS af Mary, St. Michael, såvel som St. Gabriel.

Casa Batlló: Passeig de Gràcia 43, +34 93 216 0306, Casabatllo.es. Åbn hver dag fra kl. 9 til 18:30. Optagelse er 35 EUR på internettet såvel som 39 EUR ved døren.

Casa Milà: Passeig de Gràcia 92, +34 93 214 2576, lapedrera.com. Åbn hver dag fra kl. Optagelse er 24 EUR på forhånd såvel som 27 EUR ved døren (billetter inkluderer en gratis lydguide).

10. Gå til Picasso -museet

Dette er den mest omfattende samling af Pablo Picassos værker i verden. Museet blev åbnet i 1963 og er hus til over 4.000 værker af Picasso. Selvom jeg personligt ikke er en stor fan af Picassos senere arbejde, er det stadig fascinerende at opdage om hans liv såvel som arbejde, da han var en af ​​de mest fremtrædende kunstnere i det 20. århundrede. Mens hans stil er unik såvel som ikke for alle, er museet ikke desto mindre et besøg værd. Det er utroligt at se nøjagtigt, hvordan hans kunst ændrede sig såvel som udviklet sig over programmet i hans liv.

Carrer Montcada 15-23, +34 93 256 30 00, Museupicasso.bcn.cat/en. Åben tirsdag-søndag fra kl. 10-20. Optagelse er 12 EUR pr. Person, med gratis adgang på torsdage fra kl. 17-20 samt på den allerførste søndag i måneden.

11. Barcelona Museum of Contemporary Art (MacBA)

Dette museum har over 5.000 værker, der stammer fra midten af ​​det 20. århundrede og fremefter. Samlingen inkluderer en omfattende samling af stykker af spanske kunstnere som Joan Miró samt Pablo Picasso. Der er ligeledes værker af amerikanere Andy Warhol såvel som Alexander Calder. Personligt er jeg ikke en stor fan af moderne kunst, men hvis du er, skal du sørge for at tilføje dette til din rejseplan!

Plaça dels àngels 1, +34 934 12 08 10, Macba.cat/en. Åben mandag til lørdag fra kl. 10 til 20 samt søndag/helligdage fra kl. Optagelse er 11 EUR, der inkluderer ubegrænset afkast GOS til inden for en måned efter købet. Indgangen er gratis på lørdage fra 16.00 til 20.

12. Tag en dagstur til Monserrat

For at flette byen i en dag skal du gå til Monserrat. Det er en time væk med tog såvel som byen ligger ved siden af ​​en bjergkæde. Det giver en sjov flugt fra Barcelonas hektiske storbyatmosfære. Der er gode tilbud med vandrespor her, men hvis du ikke ønsker at vandre, kan du ligeledes tage et kabelkøretøj så meget som toppen til at tage udsigten.

Sørg for at gå til Santa Maria de Montserrat -klosteret for at se den berømte helligdom i Black Madonna. Klosteret er udviklet til bjerget, såvel som Black Madonna -statuen er angivet at have været udskåret i Jerusalem i de første år af kristendommen, skønt det sandsynligvis stammer fra det 12. århundrede.

Hvis du er en kunstfan, skal du gå til Art Museum of Montserrat. Det har værker af Monet, Dali, Picasso såvel som mange andre berømte kunstnere. Til sidst skal du sørge for at gå til det regionale marked (det er på metoden til klosteret). Det er det perfekte sted at købe regionale produkter som friske råvarer, ost, honning såvel som kunsthåndværker. Såvel som hvis du er en adrenalin -junkie, er der masser af klatring, der skal gøres lige her (enten solo eller med en ansat guide).

Billetter til den timelange rejseudgift omkring 24 EUR (tur / retur).

13. Tag en tur på La Rambla

Dette er den mest fremtrædende (og mest overfyldte) gade i byen. Det er foret med træer såvel som smukke bygninger såvel som du normalt vil være i stand til at opdage gode tilbud af lokalbefolkningen lige her. Gaden voksede frem i middelalderen, såvel som mens det stadig er det primære turistknudepunkt i byen, ville jeg forhindre at købe eller spise lige her (alt er overpris). Når det er sagt, er det ikke desto mindre værd at gå en tur. Gaden er lidt over 1 km lang, så det tager ikke lang tid at tage seværdighederne, som inkluderer Gran Teatre del Liceu (Operahuset) samt en mosaik af Joan Miró.

14. Hit stranden

Hvis du ønsker at slappe af såvel som at nyde Barcelonas smukke vejr, skal du gå til stranden. Byen har en fremtrædende strand, der er åben året rundt kaldet Barceloneta. Den er lang, bred såvel som vandet er fantastisk til svømning. Der er ligeledes en stor del af gode restauranter på strandpromenaden. Stranden er altid hektisk med både turister såvel som lokale, så gå længere fra centrum for at nå nogle mere støjsvage såvel som renere sektioner. To områder, som jeg foreslår, er Sant Sebastià (i syd) såvel som Somorrostro (i nord).

15. Se noget flamenco

Flamenco er en traditionel stil med spansk musik såvel som dans. Det stammer fra Andalusien, men der er masser af placeringer at se det i Barcelona. Det er en livlig, udtryksfuld stil forstået for dets komplicerede fodarbejde såvel som håndbevægelser. Hvis du ønsker at tage et show, har Barcelona et par billige spillesteder

DEALING WITH HARASSMENT ON THE road

DEALING WITH HARASSMENT ON THE road

Posted: 10/28/2010 | October 28th, 2010

This is a guest publish by Laura, one of our resident professionals on female travel. dealing with harassment can be an regrettable truth of solo female traveling, as well as it’s difficult to understand exactly how to handle a tough circumstance when you’re in it. Laura is right here to share some advice on what to do if you discover yourself in an uncomfortable position.

Female travelers of all ages as well as experience levels will encounter harassment on the road. Although it occurs everywhere, harassment toward women is more typical in some locations than others, as well as you should be conscious of this unflattering side of travel.

No, it shouldn’t frighten you or prevent you from traveling, however being prepared to offer with difficult circumstances will make your travels go more smoothly as well as assist you prevent stress.

Here are some circumstances I’ve encountered as well as exactly how I dealt with them.

“How many camels?”
To be honest, I discover the worst harassment toward women to be in the middle East. It’s difficult to travel there as a lady as well as can be rather stressful if you’re on your own.

My very first trip to the middle east was with a group in 2008. I had no concept what to expect, as well as I soon discovered myself cringing every time I heard somebody yelling on the street, “How many camels?” In Egypt, it’s typical to pay a dowry for marriage, so when guy ask this question, they’re asking exactly how many camels they have to pay if they want to marry you.

At first, I ignored them, however then I discovered one more method to handle it. After a few days of getting over the preliminary shock of all the catcalls, I was tired of ignoring it. So the next time I heard “How many camels?” I answered, “More than you can afford!”

This remark usually prompted laughs from the guy’s buddies or surrounding vendors, complied with by a bit of ragging on the guy. a few of the guys would come back with some other wise remark that usually turned into lively banter.

Again, I generally ignore catcalls, however I likewise always judge each circumstance as it comes.

“We should share a room.”
I heard this during my second trip to the middle East, however this time around I was traveling by myself. On a bus from the flight terminal into Amman, the Egyptian guy next to me suggested we should share a room, “You know, just to save costs.” Yeah, I’m sure that’s why. Noticing a wedding event sound on his finger, I said, “Should we phone call your spouse just to make sure it’s OK?”

“What is wrong with you American women?”
In Aqaba, in the south of Jordan, I had a dive trainer ask if he might join me when I was heading out to go snorkeling. It’s a public beach, so I didn’t believe telling him no would do any type of good. We snorkeled out to the coral, as well as he reached over, ripped off my snorkel mask, as well as tried to grab me.

Furious — thankfully I’m a strong swimmer — I popped up out of the water, only to hit my foot on fire coral. I started reaming him out, as well as he told me, “I just believed we should switch masks.”

Godt forsøgt.

I essentially told him that it’s disrespectful to grab women as well as so on. He proceeded to ask me what was wrong with American women. It’s wrong in any type of culture, however understanding that the Jordanian culture is conservative, I wished to understand if it was okay if a guy grabbed his sibling like that.

After a firm reprimand, I swam back to shore as well as avoided him the next few days. I discovered from this circumstance that it’s okay to say, “No, really I’d like to go for a swim by myself today.”

“Let’s move to the bush together.”
On a 14-hour bus trip from Malawi to Zambia, I believed it was nice when a Zambian physician who spoke great English sat next to me. After some discussion on education as well as culture, he got right down to business, telling me that we should move into the bush (wilderness) together. He likewise would not stop asking if I would sponsor him to find to the US.

Normally, I would suggest you switch seats when you get a seat friend like this, however the bus was totally full. I cut him off by telling him I had a boyfriend.

Sadly, this did not discourage him, as well as when we lastly made it to his destination, he kissed my hand before getting off the bus. I provided him a fake email at the time, however I believe it’s finest to just tell the person that you are total strangers as well as you guard your privacy. Don’t hand over any type of info such as phone numbers or emails.

Harassment as well as assault are circumstances that female travelers encounter as well as must discover to offer with. If you’re in an area where harassment is common, even traveling with one other person helps.

If you’re traveling solo, be prepared to response concerns about your fake (or real) boyfriend, as well as determine exactly how yoU ville håndtere et par af disse situationer. tjekket op på seksuel chikane, når du rejser, da omstændighederne varierer så godt som det forekommer i forskellige grader afhængigt af hvor du er på vej.

Hvis du er en mandlig læser, skal du være bevidst om solo kvindelige rejsende i lande, hvor chikane er almindelig. Selv at sidde ved siden af ​​en af ​​os på offentlig overførsel eller gå sammen med os hjælper med at mindske kommentarerne eller overfaldet.

Bacuit Grill Bar and restaurant in El Nido, Palawan

Bacuit Grill Bar and restaurant in El Nido, Palawan

We were magnetized by the big, bold letters posted in front of a seaside restaurant along Bacuit Bay. It said “Happy Hour.” We were just there for dinner but the idea of getting two glasses of cocktail drinks for the price of one was strong enough to add some alcohol in our supposedly sober dinner.

Bacuit Grill Bar and restaurant is an open-air dining place perfect for those who wish to see the sunset at the bay. It is on the far end of the bay so you might find yourself walking along the beach for quite some time just to get here. Its wooden columns and chairs, bamboo ceiling, and nipa walls and roofs provide that tropical beach ambiance. The sound of the waves rolling made our stay here more relaxing. As darkness fell, candles provided enough light for friendly conversations. I guess that’s the strongest appeal of this place — it allows customers to enjoy food without letting them forget that they are on the beach!

Bacuit Bay
We somehow predicted, while observing other people’s orders, that the serving was humongous. While my friends ordered pasta, I had Crab in sweet and Sour Sauce and rice. As expected, it was big. My blogging buddy and I had to share coz there was no way I could finish that one crab without dying due to high blood pressure. LOL. Besides,  it was really good for 2-3 persons. The sound of the crab’s shell as we break them to scoop out the meat was music to us as we were really starved coming from a five-hour trip from Puerto Princesa. The smell assured us that it was fresh — it did not smell malansa. It tasted good, too. I just wished they added something more to the dish. The crab was great but there was nothing special. The sauce was a letdown, too. It actually tasted like it came out of one of those bottles of ready-to-serve sauces.

But on the upside, where can you find a full serving of fresh, delicious crabs for only P190? I’m certainly not complaining. 🙂

Crab in sweet and Sour Sauce (P190)
I also had a taste of my friends’ pasta dishes (carbonara and meat sauce). They were good. That’s all I can say. ikke noget specielt. Tasted exactly what you would expect from an average restaurant. but the serving was really big.

Cocktails and pasta
I guess at this point, it is important to note that Bacuit Grill Bar and Resto is more of a bar than a sit-down restaurant. The food is great for the price because they offer generous servings. If dinner is what you want, this will satisfy but not blow you away. but if it’s drinks that you’re after, maybe it’s the place to be. but the real selling point of the place is its excellent, romantic location and ambiance.

Hvorfor det er fremragende at rejse uden en plan

Hvorfor det er fremragende at rejse uden en plan

På min allerførste tur i verden i 2006 organiserede jeg uanset hvad der var på forhånd. Jeg forstod, hvor jeg skulle hen, bo, i nøjagtigt hvor længe, ​​såvel som nøjagtigt hvordan jeg ville komme dertil. såvel som derefter halvvejs med jeg grøftede planen såvel som gik med strømmen. I årenes løb har nøjagtigt hvordan jeg planlægger min rejse ændret sig. Nu er jeg en planlægger i sidste øjeblik såvel som sjældent rejser med enhver form for sæt rejseplan. År med langvarige rejser har gjort mig meget bedre til at gå med strømmen. Når planer ændrer eller ting går galt, ruller jeg bare med det. Livet på vejen fungerer til sidst såvel som uheld er bare en del af rejsen.

Rejse uden en plan giver dig utrolig fleksibilitet. Da intet er booket langt på forhånd, er du ikke bundet til en rejseplan såvel som kan dreje til noget andet, når du ændrer dit sind eller noget meget bedre kommer med. At lade dagen udfolde sig tilfældigt kan føre til interessante såvel som ikke -planlagte eventyr. Jeg ændrede mine planer om at tilfredsstille en god ven på en ø i Thailand samt opholdt sig i en måned. En gang til, jeg tilfredsstillede en kvinde i Cambodja, forsinkede min afgang et par dage, såvel som vi endte med at rejse såvel som datering i fem måneder.

Jeg ville ikke have haft disse eller mange andre oplevelser, hvis jeg stift havde holdt mig til min organiserede rejseplan såvel som tidsplan.

De fleste nye rejsende er imidlertid det modsatte – de planlægger deres ture over. Hele deres sti er planlagt, undertiden ned til den specifikke time. To dage her, tre dage der. Jeg forstår, hvorfor folk gør det. Utallige rejseplaner vises i min indbakke fra folk, der forsøger at se hele Europa på tre uger eller Sydøstasien på to måneder. Når du har begrænset tid, vil du se så meget som muligt. Du ønsker ikke at sprænge et eneste sekund. Det er sandt, om du har to uger eller to måneders rejser foran dig. Få mennesker rejser for evigt, så der er altid en overfladelinie, der veltes stor. Det er et løb mod uret.

Men i rejser er mindre mere. koster mere tid på et sted giver dig mulighed for at få en meget bedre fornemmelse af livets rytme. Det giver dig mulighed for at se i et mere afslappet tempo, se mere end bare højdepunkterne, såvel som at åbne din rutine til de glade uheld af rejser. At bremse kan gøre en betydelig forskel.

Som Buddha sagde, er den midterste metode den rigtige måde, såvel som den midterste metode til rejse er at bare planlægge din generelle sti såvel som at udfylde emnerne undervejs.

Når jeg først producerer rejseplaner til nye destinationer, begynder jeg overdreven såvel som at prøve at proppe uanset hvad jeg tager en dyb indånding, genkender, at det er urealistisk, samt revidere min plan for at skitsere den til to ting, jeg vil have Se hver dag såvel som område uanset ud. Det er en vigtig lektion at lære.

Jeg tror, ​​at den allerbedste “tripplanlægning” er at finde ud af den generelle sti, du vil tage, booke de allerførste par nætter på din rejse, samt lade dine rejser udfolde sig derfra. Fortsæt med at bevæge dig op, indtil du vil stoppe eller ændre retninger. Denne metode er du aldrig låst på et specifikt sted, hvis dine følelser ændrer sig.

Følg strømmen.

Der er ingen magisk kugle til at planlægge en rute, hvad enten det er med en by eller et land. Bare gå videre i en konstant sløjfe såvel som at forhindre fordobling tilbage. Denne metode kan du holde dine transportomkostninger nede, så godt du forstår, hvor du skal hen, men din plan er alsidig tilstrækkelig til at du kan blive i din destination længere eller forlade før du vælger.

Den ene ting, som enhver rejsende vil fortælle dig, er, at uforudsete ting forekommer på vejen, kaster en abe-skruenøgle i den bedst planlagte rejse mennesker, du lige har mødt). Hvis du ikke er fleksibel, vil du stresse over nogen form for ændringer af din rejseplan. Du skynder dig fra tiltrækning til tiltrækning i en anspændt specificer, mens du aldrig virkelig lader dig nyde øjeblikket, da du vil være så bekymret for at gå glip af det, der skal finde næste gang.

Så nøjagtigt hvordan skulle jeg fortælle dig at planlægge din rejse?

Trin 1: Planlæg din drømmetur så mange detaljer, som du vil.
Trin 2: Skær halvdelen af ​​tingene.
Trin 3: Kom med din liste over dine top to til fem ting at udføre i hver af de destinationer, du har tilbage.
Step 4: Take that listing as well as fail to remember about whatever else. Do the things you truly want to do as well as let serendipity fill in the rest!

The finest travel plan provides you a great concept of where you are going with the versatility to adapt to modifications on the road. It’s important to provide yourself wiggle space for locations you like or dislike, or if you get stressed out as well as just want to take a travel time-out as well as relax for a few days. choose where you want toGå så godt som hvad du vil se, men binder ikke dig selv ned til så godt mange datoer.

At rejse uden en plan er en fremragende idé. Det er endnu bedre at rejse med en sans for en.

MY favorite books OF 2020

MY favorite books OF 2020

Posted: 11/12/2020 | November 12th, 2020

This year hasn’t been what any individual expected. As COVID has reminded us, you never know what tomorrow will bring. And, this year, it didn’t bring too lots of great things (especially for folks like myself working in the tourism industry).

However, if there’s been one silver lining, it’s that being home this much has allowed me to supercharge my reading. While this year started off slow, considering that COVID, I’ve been averaging a book (sometimes two) a week. (I mean, after all, what else am I going to do?) books that have sat in my bookcase for a long time were finally opened.

So, as I look back on this year as it pertains to an end, I can find at least one good thing about it!

And, considering that it’s been an entire year considering that I a post about my current favorite reads. (As we head into the holiday season, a book is always a good gift idea!) here are all the books I’ve read this year that I’ve loved:

Looking for Transwonderland, by Noo Saro-Wiwa

This was one of the best travel books I’ve read in recent memory. I absolutely loved it. author Noo Saro-Wiwa returns to her Nigerian homeland from London to learn a lot more about her heritage, country, and her father. It’s filled with brilliant descriptions, engaging prose, and terrific dialogue that gives a lot of insight into the country and diversity of Nigeria. It’s a must-read.

The undetectable Hook, by Peter Leeson

This book is about the economics of piracy in the 1700s. It’s a fascinating look at how pirates created constitutions, workers’ compensation programs, governed themselves, and used branding to lessen battles. Turns out, everything you think you know about pirates is just flat wrong. You wouldn’t think a book on “the economics of piracy” would be interesting but you’d be wrong on that account too!

Atomic Habits, by James Clear

This cultural bombshell of a book teaches us that small changes to our routines can create big results and help us create systems to achieve our goals. It was a good guide to how to structure your life for maximum pleasure (like waking up early to read!). While I do a lot of what he suggests, there were some tidbits that made me rethink my own habits. It’s the most functional routine creation book I’ve read.

See You in the Piazza, by Frances Mayes

Frances Mayes is popular for sitting under the Tuscan sun, but in this book she and her husband Ed take you off the vacationer trail and around thirteen regions in Italy. just as wonderfully written as Under the Tuscan Sun, this look at Italian food and culture was inspiring and informative, and it will fill you with wanderlust. It makes me want to go to Italy as soon as all this COVID stuff is over.

An Arabian Journey, by Levison Wood

Levison wood is a British author who likes to go on long walks. He’s walked the Nile, the Himalayas, and the Americas. In this book, he spends months walking across the middle east during the height of the Syrian civil war. I’m a big fan of Wood: his engrossing stories are filled with people and interesting facts about places. I found myself devouring this book as swiftly as his previous ones.

The great Influenza, John M. Barry

This is a fascinating look at the 1918 flu pandemic, covering how the flu works, public health measures, and other aspects of what happened during the outbreak. There are a lot of lessons here that we could (re)learn as we battle COVID. skip the entire first section though: it’s a really boring history about the main scientists and doctors and not needed at all. After that, though, the book really picks up.

Stardust, by Neil Gaiman

I love the motion picture Stardust and it was only after listening to Neil Gaiman’s MasterClass did I realize it was based on a book that he wrote! So, I picked it up and devoured it in a few sittings. The story kept me saying, “And then what happened?”, which is what you want any book to do. It’s a very terrific book that will have you daydreaming about adventure.

Meeting Faith, by faith Adiele

Faith Adiele is a very talented travel writer and also incredibly great — one of my favorite humans. This book chronicles her life in Thailand and how she became the first black Buddhist nun in the country. It’s a exceptional book about finding your place in the world.

Nerve, by Eva Holland

Written by fellow travel writer Eva Holland, this book is on the science of fear. What causes it? how do we get over it? and how does it relate to adventure? using her desire to get rid of her own fears, she deep dives into the science of concern and what we can do about it. Eva is one of my favorite writers and sheknocks it out of the park with her first book.

Tracks, by Robyn Davidson

This book follows Robyn Davidson as she travels solo across the Australian outback in 1980. It was riveting, and as someone who has checked out some of the places she went, I found it to be a incredibly interesting account of what they looked like long before I came through. I was captivated from page one of this thrilling tale of grit and adventure.

The Three-Body Problem, by Liu Cixin

Some friends turned me onto this sci-fi trilogy that involves aliens, space exploration, human psychology, and the scary concept of “a dark forest” that I haven’t stopped thinking about. The third book is my favorite. It’s maybe one of the greatest sci-fi trilogies I’ve ever read and I’m incredibly psyched Netflix is making it into a series!

The Yellow Envelope, Kim Dinan

This book by Kim Dinan was an engaging travelogue about a woman who felt uneasy in her marriage and life in Portland. After convincing her husband to travel the world, they head on an adventure that tests their marriage. Along a journey that lasts longer than they thought, Kim finds her place in the world. It’s a stoy found in lots of travel books but I took pleasure in her writing and tales very much.

Talking to Strangers, by Malcolm Gladwell

This is probably now my favorite Malcolm Gladwell book. It’s an fantastic look at how we (frequently fail to) communicate with each other. It talks about how we default to truth and make assumptions about people’s intentions. We often don’t put ourselves in the other person’s shoes to understand why they are reacting the way they are — and normally fail to ask too.

Neverwhere, by Neil Gaiman

After Stardust, I picked up another Gaiman book. In this fantasy, an everyday Londoner, Richard, gets caught up in “London Below,” a world where the supernatural takes place without people above knowing about it. exceptionally well written and filled with brilliant imagery, this is my favorite novel of the year.

Ten Years a Nomad, by me!

And, finally, considering that I haven’t pointed out it in a few months, if you haven’t picked up a copy of my book, now’s a great time to do so. My memoir follows my ten years backpacking the world and talks about the ups and downs of life as a permanent nomad. It’s my treatise on long-term travel and something I poured my heart and soul into. Be sure to come to our December book Club meeting on it!

The discounts aren’t as big, and obviously, there’s no Kindle, but if you’re still getting hard copies, please support your local bookstore. I know it’s incredibly hard not to use Amazon (I default to it too often), but these small stores need our help!
