Good-hearted 22

I just did my first one right here.

What is that?

It’s my granma’s name (in chinese).

Oh so do you speak chinese?

Not a single word.

Did it hurt?

You bet. But I told my granparents I’d do anything for them, you know? It took me so long to decide where and how, then I went to the shop and the guy there spent like two hours showing me font and styles. Then I said ok I’ll come back, need to make my mind, and he said where are you going? We’re gonna do that right now. I was scared, so I sat down and closed my eyes, trying not to focus on the pain. They told me I could not drive afterwards or work out, but so far it has not hurt that much.

So what’s next? You ready for the next one?

Yes, it’ll be “1995″.

Why?

My year of birth.

And where?

Here (stretches out his right arm, pointing at the inner side) or up here (touches his forearm). Still undecided. I’m actually asking the advice of everyone who comes in the shop.

He smiles.

He does not know yet.

He’s just a good-hearted guy in his early twenties.

The pandemic briefly took these away. Be that as it may, the wheels of business are pushing forward as lockdown estimates change and additionally ease.

The New Digital Era makes it easy to travel. But it’s even easier for travel sites to get you to do it. Tacpoint Design Jan 22·3 min read

Originally published: 11/13/2019

In 2019 more people are packing their bags, stamping their passports and curing their case of fomo(“fear of missing out”). In other words, the travel industry has been busier than ever and as of February 2019, it was the second-fastest growing sector in the world, ahead of healthcare, information technology and financial services. The contribution to the more recent influx of jet setters in the world is primarily due to — you guessed it — Millennials.

The purchasing power of Millennials has increased over the years. While prior generations put their money into life investments, Millennials are banking on life experiences. This means the travel industry is keeping the focus on one message and that is “Don’t miss out!”

The industry is capitalizing more than ever on the power of digital. In 2018, online booking of traveling exceeded $92.5 million, and over 60% of leisure travel arrangements where made online. A recent study by the Guardian found that even booking just basic travel accommodation like a hotel room involved an average of 45 different touch points over a 36-day period. That’s a lot of eyes locked onto screens, in hopes of finding the best deal.

Google coined the term “micro moments” to describe the quick, intent-rich interactions users make with their digital devices. In simple terms, they’re those times when you take out your phone and look something up. When it comes to the travel planning process, micro moments are everywhere, and data about things like, “what will the weather be like” or “when is the best time to go”, all play a part in how the industry sways us into dusting off our suitcases and taking the journey.

Between tracking “micro moments”, realtime data on booking sites, travel patterns, and social media, there’s almost too much data for the industry to feed off of. So if it feels like you are getting bombarded with more than your average case of “book now to lock in this travel deal” it is probably because you are. Just know that as you research the perfect itinerary for your next dream vacation, travel sites are researching you as well; in terms of how you book your holiday, the industry has no fears of missing out.

Happy travels and bon voyage!
Reisefieber: New Intervention by the Street Artist LAPIZ

Easter is almost here. This traditional Christian holiday, which brings hope and happiness, is loved and celebrated by many people around the world. Easter weekend is also a great time to travel. Even these days, when the coronavirus pandemic is still ongoing, people are trying to leave their homes and spend several days exploring new areas. Luckily for them, some destinations are already open, but to vaccinated travelers only. Is the situation the same in different parts of the world? This question has been raised in the latest intervention by the street artist LAPIZ.

Reisefieber: New Intervention by the Street Artist LAPIZ

What is Reisefieber? Roughly translated from German, Reisefieber means “travel fever.” This term is usually used to describe the feeling of excitement before traveling, especially to far-away places and exotic locations. “Travel fever” is now quite common for vaccinated travelers who cannot wait to pack their bags and go on holiday. One such traveler is depicted in a new work by the street artist LAPIZ, which appeared last month right next to a travel agency in the St. Pauli district of Hamburg, Germany.

However, “travel fever” is just the tip of the iceberg in LAPIZ’s “Reisefieber.” With this work, the street artist is trying to draw people’s attention to the current situation with the vaccine worldwide. According to LAPIZ, the world’s leading countries, whose share of the total population is approximately 14%, have bought more than half of the vaccines available today, while many of the most populated countries like Nigeria do not get any. Thus, while some countries are getting back to normal life step by step, others won’t be able to do that in the near future. As a result, COVID-19 may become just another neglected disease common in low-income populations. This is what is hidden under the beautiful imagery of LAPIZ’s new socially important street art piece titled “Reisefieber.”
What I Learned While Resuming “Normal” Travel Habits Post-Lockdown
By: Monica G. Bulnes
Tags: Pandemic Lessons, Covid Diaries, Lifestyle, Covid 19, Traveling

Last weekend, I loaded up my car with 8 friends and drove 4 hours deep into rural Pennsylvania.

With 30 minutes left on the GPS, the highway spit us out onto dark backroads. T-minus 10 minutes to go, and pavement was nonexistent. My tires trekked upon dirt and rocks.

My Spotify started giving out and cell reception plummeted.

We truly did venture where the WiFi was weak.

The Reality of Travel Post-Lockdown

You’d think a getaway with a group of 8 friends would be a dream after over a year of lockdown.

And it was a great time, between tubing, Twister, Taboo, and extremely loud music, there were tons of laughs and NO shortage of food.

We even had a hot tub in the backyard of our AirBnB. How cool?!

But… when everyone ran to their rooms to grab their bathing suits, I found more than just my favorite clothes in my weekender bag.

I found items that were familiar to me.

In there was my favorite gray sweater, my go-to pair of mom jeans, and my cozy beige scarf.

It made me realize that this whole weekend, nothing was familiar. Every territory was uncharted, and it had exhausted me in a way I hadn’t noticed until I slowed down.

I took a minute to feel the fabrics on my hands, and noticed a calmness wash over me.

All I wanted was to close my eyes and be in a bed I was familiar with, surrounded by piles of clothes I’ve known and loved for years. I wanted to see pieces I’ve had memories in, shirts and bottoms that I could predict.

Adjusting to Our Reality… Yet Again

Staying inside during lockdown felt so uncomfortable for so long.

People had to urge us to stay inside, remember? Before we kinda liked it?

I remember feeling my four walls closing in at times, and spending hours on end outside just to escape. I did anything to make me feel a bit more sane.

Now, we’re going to have to do that again, but in reverse.

Life will demand that we visit 3–4 places in one day. We will stretch ourselves to out of our comfort zones for months until it feels normal again.

Our mental and physical energy will be threatened by the way things used to be.

But…Don’t Forget What We Learned

Despite the adjusting we all need in the months to come, I urge you to remember to slow down.

We learned this from COVID-19 — that much is certain. Don’t let the last 14 months be in vain.

Focus on making your balance better. Teach yourself how to have a hectic schedule again while respecting these new-found boundaries that COVID-19 has made us aware of.

Are you struggling with this too? Or is it just me?
Did you pack everything?

It’s impossible for me to miss everything on so many checklists. I fly often and rely on reminders to make sure I don’t miss anything essential at home.

I may theoretically get by in Thailand with nothing more than my visa, plane tickets, and a credit card. When I travel, though, I like to bring some clothing, presents, and the majority of my toiletries with me.

Also, with all of my technological devices, I’d be unable to function without a number of chargers, power cables, and batteries. Attention is needed for the laptop, camera, DVD player, noise-canceling headphones, and smartphone.

It is much better to fly with a thorough checklist and not miss something. It’s a little anachronistic, but it fits for me. It provides a list of everything I’ll need for the three weeks, as well as a list of presents for friends and items I need to do before I go.

For me, this journey is a bit different. My friend usually drives me to the airport and collects my mail. He has, though, relocated to a town just south of Las Vegas, leaving me on my own.

I had to pay for a taxi to drive me to the airport and fill out a small card to get my mail kept at the post office.
B(L)ackpacking: Traveling the World and Not Ending Up in a Ditch
By: Darnell Lamont Walker
Tags: Travel, Europe, Backpacking, World, Traveling

Darnell Backpacking Through Paris, 2013

The last few years saw a BOOM in Black [American] folks trekking the planet and it’s simply amazing! Especially since so many of us were raised in households where “don’t do that or you’re gonna end up in a ditch” so often poured from the mouths of our mothers, grandmothers, uncles, great aunts, and godparents. That ditch kept many of us close to those fearful folks. Lucky for us, we realized that ditch doesn’t really exist and the world is a magical place, waiting for us to experience it.

The strange thing, though, for me at least, is that even with the numbers of Black [American] travelers increasing, I don’t see many of us out there when I’m cooking in the hostel for my newfound friends or backpacking through South American jungles, pitching tents in fields with llamas and machete wielding women in overalls.

Darnell in a Bogota Hostel, 2016

Sitting on a bunkbed in Bogota, it hit me: Let’s get the folks b(L)ackpacking.

I became a backpacker by default. When I began going into the world, I absolutely wasn’t gonna spend money on frivolous things like resorts or five-star hotels or Michelin-starred restaurants. I wasn’t interested in shopping for lotions I could probably also find at home or getting dressed every night in my finest threads. I was there for the adventure, the experience, and the views I’ll remember on my deathbed. I’m undoubtedly the poorest (read: cheapest) person in my circle, but I’ve made a way to make my just about 80 countries (and counting) — backpacking.

What is backpacking, eh? Backpacking is traveling to experience culture, life, foods, winds, suns and moons as they should be: up close and personal, and on a very small budget, because you know money isn’t as important as your “rise and grind” friends would have you believe. The best things in life are very close to free. Do not mistake me, though. You don’t need to live in a shoebox to be a backpacker. Just be smart. After all, this is your chance to find out who you are as a traveler and as a human being (again, speaking from my experience).

But what is B(L)ackpacking? Nearly identical, except some of our motivation comes from proving to our folks that the world is 1) not going to kill us, and 2) the world can be an amazing place if we’re open to it.

Ganpatipule is one of the main tourist attractions of Maharashtra. It’s a small town in the City of Ratnagiri. Ganpatipule is famous for the Ganpati Temple, The Beach, and the local garden and Museum.

But Let’s talk about the Famous Ganpati Temple. You can Reach Ganpatipule by Air or Train or By Bus. The nearest airport or railway station is Ratnagiri. The Ganpatipule Temple is situated on the Beach.

The Temple is about 400 years old. It’s one of the most prime attractions that draws Thousands of Pilgrims Every Year to seek the Blessings of Lord Ganesh. The idol of Lord Ganesha is believed to be a monolith that is self-created and discovered over 1600 years ago. The other idol of Bappa is made of Copper which depicts the God riding on a lion. The Idol of Mooshak which is made of copper too is placed near the entrance of the temple.

Ganesh Chaturthi and Maga Ganpati are the two grand festivals where millions of devotees visit the temple to seek the Lord’s Blessings.

You can also visit the beach nearby. There are lots of Resorts available wherein you can book in for a day or two. Sunsets on the Beach is a Solace.

These are the articles from the last two weeks.

Beating Google

Both Booking.com and Expedia are focusing on improving the brand messaging to increase brand loyalty. Since Google keeps slithering in the travel industry, the OTAs need to up the ante and make customers actually loyal to them. First article is on Booking, second on Expedia.

When my husband had completed his post-doc years at MIT and we were going back to the UK, he insisted we return via Mexico, Central and South America. His insurance policy, he said, against having a nervous breakdown at 50 because of never having had such an adventure.

Driving in our ten-year-old Ford, camping at night, I was shocked and distressed at all the poverty, especially in the rural areas. People, mostly dark-skinned, with black, straight hair, lived in tin-roofed shacks, with their few, hungry-looking animals grubbing around in the hard earth…it was terrible. It felt like we were living on a film-set; reality (suburban America) was surely just around some corner, behind some invisible screen.

It was 1963; we were members of the ACLU, fans of Joan Baez, had even gone down from Boston to a few sit-ins in Delaware. Driving through America’s Deep South, there was palpable danger to people who thought as we did…we never felt as alien in the rest of our trip as we did there.

We knew we weren’t prejudiced, we knew our concern for the people we saw was genuine and heartfelt.

Then one day in Costa Rica, driving down the endless dirt road that was the Pan American Highway, in 1963, we passed a white-haired old man walking with a little girl, blonde, curly-haired, blue eyed.. The emotion which overwhelmed me was entirely different: We had to rescue them, take them back to New England where they belonged!

Maybe, like me, you suffer from the illusion that you are free from prejudice. What I learned from travel was that I was not.

TRAVELING IS GOOD FOR MY MENTAL HEALTH
By: Web Store
Tags: Traveling Solo, Traveling Tips, Refreshing, Mental Health Awareness, Traveling

What’s the first thing that comes to my mind when I say travel -meeting different people and traveling can be exciting and exhilarating. Traveling is good for my physical well-being and exploring a new place can do wonders for my mental and emotional health. Getting out of my comfort zone and exploring a new place can have a remarkably positive impact on my emotional wellbeing.

Immersing myself connecting with nature is another key way to reduce symptoms of stress, anxiety, and depression. Vacations can be so much exciting and memorable that they eventually impact my health and traveling is all about taking a break from day to day hustle of life and meeting my inner self which is very important to alleviate stress.

Travel helps me rejuvenate, relax and recharge myself, so that when I back from holidays to my job I store great ideas and enthusiasm. Traveling upholds happiness and helps individuals to take my mind refresh and making me feel more calm and content. When I plan to explore the hill station, I can feel more relaxed and recharged. Traveling changes my daily routine and boosts my mood and self-confidence.

Sometimes staying in one place make me feel trapped that not only impacts my mood but my brain as well. Travel makes me happy and enjoys the pleasure that I will receive on my trip. When I faced difficulties in a new place surrounded by new people helps me to understand what my life is and how can adapt myself to such an environment.

Traveling does not only reduces stress but also boosts creativity. Traveling will help me forget my shy nature and enable me to be more open to strangers. Communication is the best key in every facet of life and when in a foreign country land without communicating I won’t be able to explore the place.

Sharing my amazing travel adventures and enhance my connection with them while feeling more comfortable, belonging, and fulfilled. Travel is a great way to maintain my well-being and contributes to a happier and more fulfilling life.

Just keep in touch with me………………………

It’s Time to Get Back to Work After Landing in My New Local
By: Suzanne Kellner-Zinck
Tags: Back To Work, Traveling

Today is my 5th day in the Dominican Republic already! My body still hasn’t shifted to Eastern time. I never had this issue before where my body didn’t want to acclimate to the new time, but there it is.

It is very hot here in Santo Domingo — hotter and more humid than Israel was — though to be fair I am located within a block or so of the beach where I was located on top of Mount Carmel while I was in Israel giving us a hot sun with a breeze most days.

Today is my first real workday as I have a client session in the morning and meetings throughout the rest of the day. I guess it is about time I got back to work after all the running around to get logistics in place, forever grateful to my new friend here in the DR who helped me with getting all that stuff done in the first place given that not many people in the stores and banks speak English.

It will feel great to get back to doing what I love to do the most, which is servicing my truly fabulous clients. If there is one thing that I have learned in life it is that the work you do matters more than most people realize. Too many people stick with jobs that they find unfulfilling and worse, bullying grounds not realizing the amount of stress they are under every day at work. In my case, I determined ages ago that I would not subject myself to those conditions. But, it does indeed take time to figure out what one’s ‘right work’ is in many cases. You know that you are doing the ‘right work’ for you when it comes easily to you, yet there are aspects that are challenging to keep you growing as a professional. You know that you are doing your ‘right work’ when you are looking forward to doing it each and every day.

It will feel great to interact once again with my clients all of them happy that I made it to my next destination so we could continue our work together hopefully with a much better Wifi connection than what I was working within the dorms at the University of Haifa. It seemed the longer I was there the worse the service got. One of these days, I will go back to doing actual FB Lives because I miss doing them — I learn as much as you do each time I tackle a subject that I have enough of an interest in to share with you. However, there is another issue here in the DR, and that is the fact that the electricity does go out. The hotel has a generator to cover such times because there is a need for the air conditioning for the guests to be comfortable — but it takes a few minutes for it to roll over. So, we shall see how it all works out.

Learning: Even when one is on a new adventure, when one truly enjoys one’s work, getting back to doing it is something to be looked forward to.

***If you are a person who is struggling with your life at the moment — feeling tense, unsure of yourself, or just stuck — Direct Message me on here and we will set up a time to have a 45-minute discussion to see what we can do to help you out.
Excuse for not writing #52 Dreaming of moving to San Diego
By: Rafa Boladeras
Tags: San Diego, Writing, Writers Life, Procrastination, Traveling

On a cloudy day, you can either start writing or you can become obsessed with imagining where you could live. I’ve chosen the latter and right now I’m dreaming of a few days in San Diego, California.

Why San Diego? It is one of the cities with the best quality of life, the coolest vibe, and perfect weather. They also have the best tacos in America (it’s twenty minutes from the border so it makes sense). Even though the sun hates me, if I were there I would make the effort to try surfing, hoping that the wetsuit would be a better barrier than my sensitive skin. I believe my surfing experience would have two possible outcomes: either I would become a fan of it and it would be my new religion or I would nearly drown and spend the rest of the week coughing up salt water every two hours…

I know I would live in Little Italy (next to all the fun restaurants and five minutes from the water); that I would be known at the dozens of craft breweries in the city (some describe it as the best city in America for craft beer, but those some are from San Diego so…) and that I would become a fan of the San Diego Padres baseball team (when a team’s mascot looks like the monk on the Franziskaner labels, it’s inevitable to be a fan of their team…).

As I continue to Google Maps, creating a list of all the places I would go (right now the zoo and Pacific Beach are winking at me) and reading articles on “The best things to do in San Diego that only locals know” I gain more knowledge than I need for a plan that will probably never happen. I get the feeling I should be researching for something else — what was I supposed to do? Ah, yes…

A thousand apologies to my book, I’ll start writing to you tomorrow.

Tags: Travel Tips, Traveling

There is a reason Peru was crowned as” World’s major Culinary location” from the World Travel Awards over five decades at arow. This flourish commenced about 10 decades back. Nowadays popular chefs from all around the entire planet will be looking at Peru and are all opening restaurants due to the distinctive traits of those ingredients and spices which are only able to be expanded into the area. Our fifth-largest day together begins with an early flight to Cusco. In the day as soon as settled, we’ll take an easy walk together along the cobblestone roads of the old money of the Inca empire to begin acclimating to the altitude.

After enjoying breakfast with bird photo tours in the resort we will travel to the airport to take a trip to Arequipa. Arequipa could be your colonial-era capital of this Arequipa Region made by 3 volcanoes. This very city is well known for its chalky white baroque buildings assembled from volcanic rock. You are going to have some time to settle at our hotel before we head outside to lunch in the oldest portion of Arequipa. Following lunch, you will have leisure time roam the square foot. In the afternoon we will push Yanahuara to get a sunset to take from a magnificent viewpoint overlooking the town. We’ll start daily with a dawn take at Complejo de la Compañía de Jesús together with models.

Down the road we will enjoy the snow leapord photo tours . We will shell out the day tour inside our very first visit to the Monastery of Santa Catalina. In the day we will shoot at the blue and sunset hour from the patio overlooking the superb cathedral and central plaza. Picture this! 1 day you’re compiling ancient folks along with spectacular ruins among the towering Andes Mountains.
Traveling is not all that different

When I think about traveling, I find that these are the times spent with family and friends where we create the fondest of memories. The overall experience, whether it being stuck with each other for numerous hours, or being intrigued by the places we come across. That in mind, I saw how this view was put into play after being shown the vimeo Ed Ruscha: Buildings and Words. Almost instantly, I recognized a similarity between Ed Ruscha and the endeavors of the Joad family in Steinbeck’s novel Grapes of Wrath. They both take on long journeys, enduring roads trips from Oklahoma to the West, i.e. California.

From the vimeo, we learn how Ruscha recorded his travels from East to West by taking photos of gas stations. These photographs collectively produced a book, but also acted as a diary. To Ruscha, they were personal, and yet his books grew popular because it looked as though anyone could take the photo. I find that there is a sense of irony to that. When I think of a diary, it’s supposedly intimate and personal. On the other hand, a book is shared among the public — common to all the readers. In that sense, I find that this parallels the story behind why the Joads left for California. The Joads were forced off their land, and thus impacted their lives on a personal level. They no longer had a home, and were given the direction to migrate to California in search of more opportunities. However, this story of seeking opportunity in the West was shared among many families from the East. Everyone soon had reason to go to California, which shows how their experiences weren’t as unique. The references generalizing Ruscha’s work, saying that “anyone could take the photo”, matches how the Joads’ experiences were common, in that it happened to “anyone”. The idea of a diary and the personal impacts of the Great Depression correlate as does the idea of a book, and the large group of families who also had means to migrate. Nicknames such as “Okies” and “migrant men’’ in Steinbeck’s novel further illustrate how much of a large group were migrating. These names portray them to be an ever growing community, as opposed to grouped individuals.

Uniting these ideas from both of these sources made me reflect on how I am an immigrant myself. Traveling far distances, and leaving my home of many years, all sparked my sudden intrigue for this connection. While preparing to move, I felt as though everything revolved around making our last moments memorable. My friends and my extended family all came to visit us, commemorating the times we’ve spent together. It was during these times where this move felt so “personal”. Only a week after moving to California, was when I realized how common this was. Another family, just like mine, had migrated from the UK to California, and now attended the same school as I did. We had classes together, and bonded through our similar experiences after migrating. This all ties back to what I had united between Steinbeck’s novel Grapes of Wrath and the Ed Ruscha vimeo.
Snowy mountains

As they say —

“Snow provokes responses that reach back to childhood.”

That actually happened to me when I climbed up there and saw this mesmerizing snow covered mountain!! As soon as I reached there, it felt so amazinggg and cold. I suddenly went back to my childhood when I used to eat ice candies a lot and used to dream about a world having snow everywhere around me….so that I can eat, I can play and I can sleep on it :D



I mean c’mon it’s very natural to have this kind of dream when you’re living in that part of the world where you experience summer almost throughout the year!!!



At that time I was unsure about having such kind of world being completely unaware about the idea of having different country on another part of the world and air planes an all that. For me my world was revolving around my mum, dad, my lil sister and my books. I had imagined almost similar kind of things around me which I saw when I reached on the peak of that mountain!! My visualization was so so right…..it was the same kind of place where I wanted go!!!!

A sun was shining bright, snow covered mountains, cooool breeze and on the top of the world ( I’m a lil bit exaggerating over here…it was only the top of Europe :D) ✨

P.S. Yea I had dream of eating and sleeping on the snow but I didn’t do that because it was too cold there :D



This beautiful mountain peak is jungfraujoch — the top of the Europe.

Follow me here for more such pictures and memories!!

Love,
