His Dudeness

With heaps of stories shared by Ralf since 2006, it will take you heaps of time to read each and every post so you can really admire the different places and at least feel the same experience he did.

Going over the pages of Ralf’s posts, this one caught my attention – http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/China/Yunnan/Dali/blog-616653.html. And true enough, this has always been the usual conversation for every traveller. And I believe there’s more in this page to explore about and it will take you quite a few hours… or even more to read and absorb his adventures. So sit back and read on!

Camping Quote #20

You’ve just woken up, and you’re on the wrong side of the bed. Is there any way to switch to the other side? Absolutely.

For those times when your mind is addled, and your center is shaky; open this little black bag of cures and find your beautiful balance!

You already know the number one way of chasing away a bad mood: exercise. A workout at the gym sure helps. But even just a few minutes of movement–a fast walk, for example–raises energy and reduces tension, says mood expert Robert Thayer, PhD, professor of psychology at California State University, Long Beach, and author of Calm Energy.

Camping Kitchen Tip #25

Meals should be 1-pot meals to keep cleanup to a minimum. Don’t get too fancy with the meals – it’s hard to chop onions; carrots at -10F with gloves on. Meals will be cooked outside and unless the weather is a torrential rainstorm, you will eat outside as well.

Kiwi Sailor

Jill and Rod Martin started their quest in 2008. They’ve been to several places and experienced different cultures already; even tasting different cuisines. A travel adventure that started in 2008 and a recent post back in 2010, I’m curious if they’ll be able to share more of their recent adventures

Seeing this particular picture – http://www.travelblog.org/Photos/2743398 – made me realize that when travelling, plans don’t always go as you’ve planned. There are certain circumstances that come up and you won’t be able to roam around as you please. However, at least you get to see all sides of your adventure and make the most out of it. A perfect image would be like this – http://www.travelblog.org/Photos/2751144.

Camping Adventure Tip #24

Tent camping is an inexpensive way to get started camping. Once you’ve experienced tent-camping, you tend to look at Trailer-camping to continue your excursions, and make them easier. Tent-camping includes car camping, canoe-camping and backpacking. You can car camp at state and national parks, forest service campsites, and even national chains of commercial campgrounds. Tent-camping can be fun and you need to choose the right type of tent to make it more enjoyable.

7 Reasons Your Girl Needs a BlackWolf Gogo Urban Girls Backpack

There is no getting away from the fact that the modern girl is every bit as independent as the modern woman. A hectic social schedule means they’re rarely at home, always have something to do, someone to see and problems to solve.

Vital to survival then is a daypack that can accommodate everything they need. And that’s where the BlackWolf Gogo Urban Girls Backpack Daypack comes in – catering to the specific needs of a busy socialite with places to go and no time to waste.

As a BlackWolf product, the quality of this backpack goes without saying. But, while slim-line designs and feminine shades are fine, such light backpacks and daypacks must be practical. So, we looked at some of the ways that the BlackWolf Gogo backpack can be used.

1. For School

School books can weigh quite a lot these days. Not packing that kind of weight properly can cause serious back and should pains for kids of all ages. The Gogo backpack is specifically designed to keep everything firmly positioned on the back. It means less strain, less pain and your girl can still carry everything she needs for her studies.

2. Ballet

Well, it doesn’t have to be ballet but whatever a girl’s personal interest might be (soccer, volleyball, urban dance) there is plenty of room in a Black Wolf Gogo Urban backpack to pack all the gear necessary. So, zipping off to soccer practice or dance practice is never a problem.

3. The Sleepover

As social creatures, the obligatory sleepoverat a friend’s house is a must for any girl. Packing in those extra comfortable cotton pajamas, extra woolly socks, toiletries and more is no problem at all.

4. A Change of Clothes

Any day trip can involve an emergency or two. Whether it is a case of the weather turning for the worst, or the hot sun causing some extreme perspiration, the need for a change of clothes is always a possibility. No matter where you are, the Gogo Urban backpack provides enough room for a complete change.

5. A Country Hike

Of course, backpacks were made for hikes in the country, and this backpack is no different. The padded harness ensures that comfort is always enjoyed. But practical access to any maps or water bottles is provided by a bungee system on the back. With lots of room for packed lunches, clothes and other items, a few hours taking in the beauty of the wilderness comes with no worries.

6.  Going to Town With Friends

As an urban bag, the Black Wolf Gogo backpack is perfectly adept to making travelling in the cities and towns easier. So, when it comes to taking the weekend jaunt into the city on a shopping trip with friends, this bag is ideal.

Even on long commutes, the inclusion of a music pouch and external headphone port means the journey passes by quickly. And once amongst the denizens, the bag fits snugly on the back so slipping through crowds is done simply.

7. Keeping Secrets

Well… if we told you more, it wouldn’t be a secret, now would it!

Wendy and Phil’s Big Adventure

A blog created by Wendy Morgan just a few months ago, started sharing her travel adventures with her partner Phil. They are now travelling in a campervan around Europe. You can surely read through their adventures while they’re just starting to post several experiences together. Can’t wait to read more of their future quest!

I like the particular post with this picture http://www.travelblog.org/Photos/6617428 because it kind of gives a different feeling of serenity. Being in this situation of sitting by the bay and a close encounter with the waves is always a great feeling, for me at least. Feeling the mist spraying on your face makes me feel calm and relaxed.
