Come Visit the "La Union Agri-Tourism Village"!

Five Reasons...I'll give you five good reasons you should head to the La Union Provincial Capitol on its 169th Foundation Anniversary.

1. For "good health"

See my forehead above? It's glistening from sweating on my way up the road that has been beautifully lighted, theatrically I'd say. Perfect for dramatic, moody shots. My mood was festive! For indeed there is a celebration happening in the province now. I had dessert for dinner and I was so glad to have burned up the extra calories. Plus, I was kinda testing my endurance for long walks and it turned out I had more saved up energy than the hubby who is one of my designated photographers for the evening, the other being our seventeen year old.

I encourage you to go in your most comfy clothing and shoes for the uphill invigorating evening stroll. You'll feel young seeing a lot of kids and hearing them giggle over simple things.

Three Fears You Could Conquer at Tangadan Falls

So I finally reached my first waterfall. True or false? (Pun intended) True! Truly it was one amazing experience! Forgive me for my delight, I sort of ceased being adventurous until recently. As the title implies this is all about the fears I conquered at Tangadan Falls.

Want to hear about it? Read on and I hope I get to lure you to visit one of the best places in my province La Union. Proud to have been there and to have ditched the following fears:

What’s The Difference Between Travelling For Leisure & Travelling For Work?

If you’ve always dreamed of a job that will let you travel and finally have one, you’re most probably over the moon. Whether you’ve landed a role at a new company that includes lots of travel or have just launched your own business, it doesn’t matter. All that’s important is that you’re able to do a lot of travelling and get out there and see the world.

While having a career that allows you to travel is a dream come true. Getting to grips with travelling here, there and everywhere, can be stressful. Travelling for work can be just as enjoyable as travelling for leisure. However, it’s important to understand that travelling for work comes with a whole different set of factors to consider.

You’re not on holiday, you’re working, and it’s important to realize that. Of course, if you’ve got some spare time you can get out and see the sights. But you need to remember that you’re primarily abroad for work, not for soaking up the sun or exploring. Want to know what the differences are (and what you should do differently) when travelling for work instead of leisure? Keep reading for everything that you need to know.

4 Items You Must Take When Backpacking

Heading off on a backpacking trip? Exciting times… but you’ll need to pack correctly if you want to make that excitement last once you arrive!

What you’re going to need when backpacking will be significantly different to what you’d take for a weekend trip. Chances are you’ll spend a lot of time walking or hiking, moving from place to place and traveling. This means that your packing needs to help you with your journey, not impede it! With this in mind, here are a few items that you will want to take along with you.

5 Things You Must Do In Every City You Visit

Many of us plan to do specific things depending on which city or town we’re visiting on vacation. However, there are some things you should do no matter where you are. Here are just five of them.

Chat to a local

One of the most wonderful things about travelling abroad is getting exposure to new and different people. With a different culture and a different city surrounding them, you’ll have some of the most fascinating conversations with people. Try and chat to at least a couple of locals each trip. Talk to the barman as he pours you a drink; chat to your hotel receptionist about what he likes to do in the local area. Be courteous and inquisitive and they are sure to reciprocate.

Try the local delicacy

Another joy of visiting a different country to your own is the exposure it gives you to different delicacies. Don’t turn your nose up at things. Just because you haven’t eaten them before, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try. So, on a trip to France, try the frog's legs and snails. It won’t do you any harm, and you might love it. Plus it will be another experience to tick off your bucket list!

Try their version of your favourite food or drink

Sure, you might love your coffee one particular way from one particular shop. But open your horizons when expanding. Try their version of coffee. Different cultures make it with lots of different ingredients and traditions. You might still prefer it how you have it, but you might also find a new way that you love. Apply this principle to all food and drinks you adore. This might be cheese or chocolate.

The USA is a vast country, which may as well be made up of lots of smaller countries. The fifty states can differ from each other in a number of significant ways. They each have their unique cultures, speech patterns, and histories. There's so much to see, but most people never see a huge chunk of it.

Don’t get me wrong, I love my home life. But nothing beats the perfect holiday with your loved ones. Those trips away are the perfect time to grow as a family and create magical memories that will last a lifetime.

Not only will this allow you to find the perfect adventures, but it will often save money too.
