Best Waterfalls to Visit in Thailand’s Rainy Season

Image
  I had not realized when I flew into Thailand during its rainy season that waterfalls would turn out to be the very astonishment of my trip.      I was less worried about wet flip-flops, last-minute modifications of our itinerary, and how to know which tuk-tuk driver would turn on the meter. However, when the skies cleared and the rainforests had to be alive, there was something that came to me; it was the ideal time to waterfall hunt.     Note: Don’t forget to check meet and greet at Luton before your trip and book accordingly.      The rainy season in Thailand, which lasts between June and October, turns the country into a roaring waterfall as they transform into cascades of mist.      It is a greenest jungle, the rain and earth smell is in the air, and there are crowds, but they are happily less than usual. Not all of them are that muddy that you might want to keep the excess to the minimum, but here are the waterfalls t...

What It’s Like to Stay in a Langkawi Overwater Villa

Image
  We were not going to spend a lot. It was an impulsive move that you take when you feel good. I had watched those dreamy photos on the internet, little huts floating on turquoise waters, and always imagined that it was impossible.   But an off-season deal made it seem possible. We made reservations prior to either of us having a chance to think twice about it.   It was as though I was passing into another world by walking to the villa. There was a narrow wooden walkway which extended across the sea. The voice of the waves made everything soft.   Note: If you are travelling on a budget then you can book  airport parking Luton   and save money for your trip.   The further we walked the more the sound of the rest of the world died away. Here, at the last, was our night-stop.   The view is the first thing I noticed. The villa had large glass windows and a personal deck opening directly to the sea. No people were there. No roads. Water all a...

The chimneys of the fairytale, the valleys covered in sunlight, and the ancient caves all become exciting with the sunrise as hundreds of colorful hot air balloons are launched into the air.   It is the stuff of travel dreams, and yes it can be surprisingly cheap once you know a few tricks.   When I came to Goreme, I was sure that I couldn't afford to take a balloon ride.

Thrift Shopping in LA: Where to Score Vintage Treasures

Image
 When I arrived in LA, I wanted to achieve my dreams and didn’t have much money which made me fall in love with thrift stores. I soon saw that there’s more to Los Angeles than the famous shops on Rodeo Drive.   In reality, the most interesting fashion in New York comes from the hidden-away thrift stores found in interesting areas.   Hunting for vintage items can be very exciting. Every faded Levi’s jacket, 80s band tee and well-worn pair of boots has its own story. And LA? It includes many stories.   Note: if you are travelling on a budget then you can save money by booking Heathrow airport cheap parking and have some extra money for your trip. Jet Rag (on Melrose Avenue)   The place is full of fun in a chaotic way. Their Sunday Sale is well known and customers treat it like a major shopping day, searching through tons of items.   I came across a suede jacket that looked as if it came from a '70s movie. It was comfortable, big enough and the p...

What to Wear When Visiting Kyoto’s Temples

  In Kyoto, you can find many peaceful spaces, ancient pathways and old wooden buildings. Going to the temples feels just like time travel.   The serene feel of every temple can be seen from the beautiful Kinkakuji and Kiyomizudera temples. Nevertheless, finding out what to wear is something that many travelers overlook before their trip.   I can still recall walking through Nanzenji in the cool autumn air. The leaves of the maple trees turned red and gold and the breeze felt special and almost sacred.   Once I entered the main hall and removed my shoes, I understood why dressing carefully is important here. It affects your mood and the way you use the area.   Note: if you want a stress free travel experience then you can book cheap Heathrow airport parking . Wearing Clothes to Match the Weather   You should remember that the temples in Kyoto are sacred, not just popular tourist sites. Showing respect includes dressing calmly and modestly. ...
