Go Travel and See the World

Would  you believed a jobless  individual  can travel in many cities and countries? I was asked many times by some friends how  can  I travel  when I am   jobless.   One friend  answered, “she is jobless but not  incomeless”.  That was quite a tough  answer! I hope to share one day how I travel without having a full time job. I just need to find time to explain everything. I  mean the secrets why I can travel without  having a regular job.

Let me go back to the main topic here. I once visited Turkey. It was  only a  10-day trip but we did saw and experienced a lot of places there. One of it is Istanbul. I cannot believed that I  finally had the chance to step on this city. If you love culture and history, Istanbul is a perfect place for you to visit. If  you  have a lot of money,  why not buy and  own an Istanbul property.  If I win  millions in the lottery, I will  surely buy one in this city. The reason is,  I am just so  near  in Asia, my home continent.   Don’t you know that Istanbul bridges Asia and Europe both physically and culturally?  If you cross the other side of the Bosphorus Strait, you are already  in Asia. It feels good  if once in a awhile, we step on our home continent.  I wish I had the chance to go directly to my home country when I was there.

Istanbul was formerly known as Constantinople.  It is the most populous city in Turkey and also the cultural and financial centre. There are so many historical  sights to see in this city. During our visit, we saw  the Hagia Sofia, the Sultanahmet or the Blue Mosque, Basilica Cistern, Galata Bridge and Tower, Eyüp Sultan Mosque, Hippodrome, Theodosian Walls, the Grand Bazaar, the Egyptian Spice Bazaar, Dolmabache Palace and other sights in this city. I was saddened when the tour guide cancelled our tour in Topkapi Palace. This is one of the reasons  why I want  to go back again  to Istanbul.

I believed the highlight of our trip was our mini-cruise in Bosphorus Strait. That was truly one of the best and most memorable travels I had in 2011.

It is over four years now since I last visited London. Last year, a good friend  was inviting me to go with her to UK’s lovely capital. I told her, why not since it is a long time now since my  last visit. This month, I already started to look for cheap flights. I found some but I am still waiting for my friend’s final decision of going there. My friend loves clubbing and if our trip will pursue this coming spring season, I would surely love to go with her in one of the clubs in London. This is one thing I did not experience when I visited London last autumn 2008.

Let me share to you my fave sights in London and I wish to visit it again.

London Eye– It was a  cloudy,  rainy autumn afternoon when I  was walking  alone near London  Eye. Yes, I travel alone sometimes.  I decided to ride the tallest  and the famous  Ferris wheel in Europe.  It was once the tallest in the world when it was built in 1999.  Now, it is the third tallest after the Star of  Nanchang and the Singapore Flyer.  London Eye’s total structure  is  135 metres (443 ft) tall and the wheel has a diameter of 120 metres (394 ft). I was so happy after my  dream came true. That is riding the  popular wheel   in London. Thanks Goodness, I don’t have fear of heights!

Tower Bridge– Remember the song, “London bridge is falling down, falling down and so on and so forth. I am telling you guys, it is  not the London Bridge that is falling down but  the bridge next to it which is the Tower Bridge.

Both bridges crosses the River Thames.   The Tower Bridge  is a suspension and at the same time a  bascule   bridge.  It is located near the Tower of London where it got its name. I want to go back again to  London  to see  this bridge again and visit its engine room and  the Tower Bridge exhibition.

Buckingham Palace– This is another must-see in London. You have to see the official London residence of the Queen together with the Westminster.  I  was glad and contented when I see this architecture. I also witnessed the  so called “Changing of the guards”. I hope in my next visit I can already have a tour inside Buckingham Palace . A friend from London told me that tours inside are offered  during summer season.

I was also in Piccadilly  Circus, St. Paul’s Cathedral, Trafalgar Square, Westminster Abbey, Palace of Westminter, Canary Wharf, Tower of London, Madame Tussaud, The Gherkin  and other sights in UK’s capital city. I wish to visit   London again in the future.

You don’t want to forget something you truly need, like prescriptions, glasses, clothes, etc when you are going on vacation to a different country. Make sure you write a list that you can go through when you are packing your suitcase so you won’t forget anything.

I am quite excited because I finally booked my first trip for this year. I am very optimistic and I believed 2013 will be another year full of trips and travels for me. Do you have any idea what country I will be visiting first?

Included in the package are the return flights, 3-star hotel accommodation, breakfast and dinner and the trips to the different places in Ireland.

Happy New Year  everyone! 2013 is finally here. I hope you are having a wonderful start of the year.  I am so far doing good.

This morning while taking my breakfast and  I would say  my teatime, I also happened to read the newspaper that we are subscribing daily. I  already found some trips  advertised on the newspaper for this year.  I found  some interesting places on it but  the trips are quite expensive. There are a lot of destinations that are on my bucketlist this year.  I will see if I can find cheap travels for this year. I have a calendar where I can  note the dates of  the places that I am   targeting.

I am also planning to find sponsors for my travels this year. If you are  in the travel industry and you are looking to promote your business, products or services, I can surely help you with it in exchange for sponsoring my travels. What do you think?

This infographic represents the main holiday expenses: food, alcohol, trips, gifts, duty free, travel & transport, holiday decorations, clothes, sports, and accessories. Christmas is a great opportunity to relax and save up some strength for work; however, the holiday season is particularly expensive. The most popular states to spend Christmas vacation in are: Nevada, New York, Colorado, and Florida. 37% of Americans even don’t think about their spending, especially when they are on vacation. Astoundingly, 63% of Americans take out payday loans to get quick cash, along with high fees. During the holiday season, it is necessary not only to control your expenses, but also to use payday loans right way, for emergencies.

What are the kinds  of  activities  or  things   usually  entertain you? Do you need to go somewhere to entertain yourself? Everyone certainly has their  own source  of entertainment that they always love  and enjoy. In  this highly technological world we live in, there are  various ways we can  entertainment   ourselves.

According to wikipedia, “Entertainment is an action, event or activity that aims to amuse and interest an audience. It is the audience that turns a private recreation or leisure activity into entertainment.” I believe  this is a very clear statement   about entertainment.

Did  you know that there are still other forms  of entertainment that can be enjoyed  in  the comfort of your  own home? You don’t even need to go anywhere, there’s no need to stress  out about  driving. This is  especially true  during the winter season. when it is snowing outside or  the weather really gets bad. By entertaining yourself  at   home, you are not only safe,  but  you will also avoid the hassles of driving. 

I am actually talking about playing bingo. Yes, you can play bingo online at PartyBingo.com. While enjoying  sipping your favourite tea or coffee in  the comfort of your own home, playing online bingo will surely get rid of your boredom during rainy days. It  will make  your day   brighter and  more enjoyable. Playing online bingo will not only entertain you,  but  you  will also have a good  chance of winning. Why not try your luck and entertain yourself at  Partybingo.com!

We just arrived from our weekend trips in Switzerland and France. Among the places we visited were Riquewihr and Strasbourg, both are located in France and Basel in Switzerland.  Those were  such wonderful trips and was so cheap considering that  we stayed in a 5-star Hilton hotel in Basel.

As a traveler, I am always observant everytime I visit a place. I always look around and love to take pictures of anything. Last Sunday, as we were on our way to Strasbourg, this retired German guy who was with us in that bus trip told me something like, “You are taking a lot of pictures, huh?” I answered back, “Because we have nice cameras and taking pictures is only the memories we can bring home for free. Besides, we are beautiful that’s why we love to take pictures of ourselves”. He ended up shutting his mouth.
