Save Some Bucks While Fulfilling Your Bucket List

The two most common questions we are asked, both online and in person, are “What is your favorite place that you have visited?” and “How do you afford to travel?”

Believe it or not, the second of those is easier to answer. When we started out on our empty nest exploits ten years ago, we made a point of being frugal on our adventures. We may have even taken it to the extreme considering we bought a beat up old motorhome on eBay for $3000.

We spent many a night parked at truck stops or Walmarts, and before long discovered that our newfound nomadic lifestyle was actually cheaper than having a home.

Add that to the savings of no longer having the expense of three kids to support and the equation for continuing to travel wasn’t too difficult to work out.

As we moved beyond the RV, and our journeys spread farther and wider, we learned a few more tricks for continuing to keep the costs down. Traveling in the off season makes a huge difference, as does being flexible on dates, but one of the best was discovering the AARP Travel Center powered by Expedia.

We already used AARP for discounts on all sorts of things, and certainly were familiar with Expedia as one of our go-to travel booking sites, so the combination of the two made perfect sense to us.

Each is an expert in their field, and their partnership perfected serving the wanderlust yearnings for those of us who have reached a point in our lives where we have a little more time on our hands and a bit more money in our pockets after raising children.

It didn’t take long for us to find that our confidence in these two iconic institutions was well founded, because they almost always had the best deals on flights, hotels, and rental cars on any of the search sites we regularly checked.

So that brings us back to that first question about our favorite place, and it is surprisingly difficult to answer simply because there are so many. It’s almost like we should make a list. Yes, that’s it, a list.

Let’s say these might be things people want to do or places they want to see before… you know, kicking the bucket.

Hey, we could call it a Bucket List! Gee, wonder if anybody ever thought of that before?

But seriously, we have had the good fortune to visit several once in a lifetime locations, some of which might not typically be thought of as the “bucket” worthy, but after seeing them we think they should be. So we’re always happy to pass along our insights to fellow travelers.

At or near the top of our list would be the Galapagos Islands. The equatorial Pacific archipelago may not be the best known or most popular destination, and admittedly it was not somewhere that was on our radar before we went. However, for wildlife close encounters and extraordinary ecosystems it is unbeatable.

The animals, all of them, whether on land, or in the sea, or in the air, have no fear of humans whatsoever. They are so unconcerned that it is actually a rule that visitors must move away to keep six feet between themselves and the critters.

Each island is also has a unique environment formed by a volcanic hotspot that remains active. Each day brought new surroundings from tropical jungle mountains, to desserts touching the sea, to barren land of lava and cinder cones, to black magma moonscapes so new that plants have yet to grow.

Another unheralded, yet unmistakably list worthy, locale would be Newfoundland.

Even though it is another remote island, it could hardly be more different than the Galapagos. Everything about Newfoundland says North Atlantic, from misty fjords, to rushing mountain streams, to icebergs galore, and even a thousand year old Viking settlement.

The resident Newfies may call it The Rock, but to us it stands out as one of the most interesting places we have ever been, and without a doubt home to the nicest folks we’ve ever encountered.

One more would be Machu Picchu. We must admit that this mysterious Lost City of the Incas was on our list before we set off on our Gypsynester escapades, and it lived up to all of our expectations. Not being the spry youngsters we once were, we decided to forgo the four day hike to the site and took the train to the town of Aguas Calientes at the base of the mountain.

From there it’s just an exceptionally harrowing bus ride to the top. We quickly learned it is best not to look out the window at the road (or lack thereof), but the heebie-jeebies of the journey were soon forgotten while exploring one of the Seven Wonders of the World.

Our first day was spent with a wonderful guide who explained as much as can be explained about this mystifying feat of engineering and construction, but we highly recommend spending at least two days in order to go up alone early one morning and watch the sunrise onto the ruins.

Recalling these three somewhat eclectic excursions reminds us that should  also include some classics such as walking on the Great Wall of China, riding mules down the Grand Canyon, gazing over Niagara Falls, climbing Kilimanjaro (sort of), Sky diving onto a beach in Australia, or exploring the world’s preeminent cities like London, Paris, Rome, Toronto, New York, or Hong Kong. All of these and many more belong on any must-see agenda.

Of course every bucket list is as different as the individual who dreams of checking off the items, but one thing’s for certain, a little help making those dreams become a reality is never a bad thing.

7 Rules to Pack A Suitcase for A Business Trip

Packing your suitcase for a business trip may seem to be one of the confusing tasks you have come across. So, here is a list of a few rules that will help you pack your luggage in the best possible… CONTINUE READING >> 

Packing your suitcase for a business trip may seem to be one of the confusing tasks you have come across. That’s because you will prefer to carry less but wear solid and elegant outfits. You need to carry suitable clothing for various events and meetings that you will attend.

So, here is a list of a few rules that will help you pack your luggage on tour in the best possible way for your upcoming business trips.

1. Choose the Right Bag

Carrying light or packing less means putting on a hand luggage.

But, if you are very choosy about this, then an upright luggage can be a better option for you.

Be careful about the size and style of the bag as you need to know about the correct packing approach. You should pay attention to the appearance of the bag too. As, you are out for a business trip, your business bag should look simple yet elegant and it will be far better if you go for a darker tone rather than unnecessary bright colors.

2. Get the Right Items

After you are ready with your bag, now it is the turn to get the right items inside your bag. Remember that your bag has to be packed light.

You may need to wear an outfit more than once but that’s not an issue at all. Whatever you wear, it needs to be versatile and elegant. If you are out for a weekend, carry a jacket (simple and dark color), a pair of pants, a couple of formal shirts along with a casual shirt, a pair of shoes and the accessories (like tie, tie clips, glass, socks, belts, etc.) according to your daily requirements. Don’t forget the other business essentials.

3. Pack Efficiently

Pack your bag in such a way that you can insert as many items as possible without damaging the bag. This will help to keep your bag lightweight.

4. Extra Tips to Pack Efficiently

You may get confused about how to pack efficiently, especially if this is your first business trip. Don’t worry. You can follow the following tips to make extra space inside your bag.

  • Put the shoes in a separate plastic bag to keep the dirt away from your clothing.
  • Fold the shirts and pants very loosely in a narrow and vertical manner to save the space.
  • Get all the accessories in an accessory box (select according to requirements).
5. Wear the Heavy Outfit

Wear the jacket or blazer on the day you are travelling (while going and returning) as this will help to save a lot of space inside the bag. You can slip a number of items in the bag in place of this one bulky item.

6. Gifts Can Be Appreciated

It is better if you take some small gifts for your clients. This courtesy shows your willingness towards building a long term, healthy relationship with your clients.

7. Take Care of Luxury Items

Pack all your important and costly items properly within the bag and take extra care of those items. It is better to take them in a separate carry-on which you need not get checked and can keep with you.

These are some of the smart tips to pack your business bag in a well-organized way. If you can keep these points in your mind while packing the luggage or bag, then you can obviously pack it in the most efficient way. Also, these tips will help to keep the bag as light as possible and will be less bothering for you to carry it.

What Difficulties Can Foreign Students Face When Studying In Israel?

Israel has invested tremendously in its academic distinction. The country spent its last seven decades building up educational institutions that are on par with the high valued universities around the world… CONTINUE READING >> 

Israel has invested tremendously in its academic distinction. The country spent its last seven decades building up educational institutions that are on par with the high valued universities around the world. Israel encourages investing in learning and entrepreneurship that promotes a sense of independence. Today, it houses numerous innovative start-ups and industries, true to its moniker, the ‘Start-Up Nation.’

For a country, this efficiently developed and advanced, students are still skeptical about pursuing their higher education there. From safety issues to affordability when lined up with a few misconceptions, the reasons are numerous for students and their families to be hesitant to regard Israel as an option.

In this article, let us see what difficulties students might think that they would face in Israel. Addressing these matters head-on would help you choose the right program for you, without having misunderstandings hindering your path to an incredible experience.

1. Quality and Standard of Education

One of the major misconceptions is that the study programs in Israel are not of the same standard as the other world-renowned institutions.  Nonetheless, the higher education institutes in Israel are all ranked amongst the highest in the world.

Top Universities like the Israel Institute of Technology, Tel Aviv University, The University of Haifa, and The Hebrew University of Jerusalem have all made their mark and are celebrated for their academic excellence. As a matter of fact, Technion IIT’s computer science program has even found its way to the top 20 in the worldwide rankings.

There are many programs offered in English too, with many specializations to choose from. The only thing students have to worry about is to stay on top of their game and to score good grades. In such circumstances, students can ask professional writers for essay help to keep up with the quantity of work and assignments in college.

2. Safety and Personal inclinations

 In 2018, a professor at the University of Michigan withheld a letter of recommendation to one of the students who wanted to apply in Israel for a semester abroad. This was a result of the University policy to boycott Israel in support of Palestinians. The event caught a lot of attention nationwide, supporting the student. The popular opinion was learning should not be controlled due to any country’s political decisions, as every person will have an opinion on every country’s policies.

Instead of encouraging students to accept diverse communities, such personal opinions by families and the school could influence what and how any student could perceive a country like Israel.

Such instances thus result in one of the biggest worries of students; their safety in Israel. International students vouch by the fact that they feel much safer in their Universities in Israel rather than at home in America. If you refer to the statistics, in reality, the crime rate in the United States is much higher than in Israel. Public safety is of prime importance in Israel, and routine checking happen in public places like malls, markets, public transport, etc.

Universities such as Israel Institute of Technology, an institution much sought after by American students, is well away from the Gaza Strip and anything that is happening with the political issues, does not affect the daily life of the students in any way.

3. Cultural and Language Barriers

 Contrary to popular belief, Israel is well developed. As students, going abroad to study will definitely require a time to get accustomed to cultural traits and the general way of living. Israel is a very diverse country with many opportunities for students to expand their horizons. Its rich historical background and strong traditions do not keep them away from welcoming international students to their land. In fact, universities have been advocating for receiving more and more international students from countries all over the world. The universities are well equipped to welcome students and provide them with every requirement, just like they would in any college in the US. It’s worth noticing that Israeli universities accept papers ordered from the US writing agencies, such as Getfinanceessay. Thus, American students can easily submit their assignments on time.

The one thing Americans might have to prepare for is the Shabbat. The day of rest beginning at the sundown every Friday, it ends almost 40 minutes later on Saturday; leaving many businesses to stay closed across the country. The weekend being the busiest in the US, this might come as a peculiar change to the foreign students.

The other concern is regarding the language. Though Hebrew and Arabic are commonly used, English is also widely spoken throughout the country. Especially in a college campus, students will have no difficulty to converse with peers. Outside the campus, if you look like a foreigner, the locals would definitely switch to English if you are engaging in a conversation with them.

Nevertheless, remember that a part of studying abroad is also to experience new and distinct elements. Israel is one of the most diverse countries for anyone to study. The country has plenty to offer, both in academics and a wealthy cultural platform to transform yourself.

3 Empty Nester Travel Tips You’ll Need

The time is now, it’s life 2.0, and for so many empty nesters, traveling is the thing they turn to in order to get out of the slump and start embracing this new season of life… CONTINUE READING >> 

When your kids have up and started their own lives and you’re left in a newly-empty nest, it can be easy to get down about it. After all, you’ve just spent upwards of 18 years dedicated to building their lives, and now all you’re left with is your own.

The good news is that empty nesting doesn’t have to be a bad thing! That’s right — it can actually give you a new lease on life and provide opportunities for things you’ve always wanted to do, but saved for another day or time.

Well, the time is now, it’s life 2.0, and for so many empty nesters, traveling is the thing they turn to in order to get out of the slump and start embracing this new season of life.

If you’re ready to embark on the traveling adventures of empty nesters, you should know a few things before you dive in. Here, we’re compiling all the best travel tips you’ll need before you leave the empty nest and immerse yourself in a world of new places, dishes, people, and culture.

Empty Nester Travel Tips

1) Plan Now, Explore Later

Just because you’re now in prime time for travel doesn’t mean you should just cancel your weekend plans and hop on the next flight out of town. Rather, travel at this point in your life should be thoughtful. It will make the best of your time while still preserving the financial stability and lifestyle you’ve grown accustomed to at home.

Begin by planning things out a year in advance. Look at the year as a whole and do some research on the best times to travel. If you are already interested in some places, you should learn more about their seasons and tourism patterns.

The next step is to begin searching for flights and accommodations while still being flexible on dates and times. Often, you’ll find better deals with this kind of open-mindedness, meaning that you get to do everything you want without really breaking the bank.

2) Traveling Not Tourism

While it can be easy to fall into the tourist traps while traveling, often these are really not the best that these places have to offer. Instead, they are activities or locations that take advantage of tourists and charge a lot of money for something that’s been filtered down to be palatable to tourists.

Keep in mind that you’re there to travel not tour. This means digging deeper into each city you visit, going where the locals go, people watching, and going where the wind takes you.

You can also use this mindset to come up with unique vacation destinations that don’t normally draw in thousands of visitors each year. For example, you could look into Oregon Coast vacation rentals and the little beach towns they inhabit. Or, you could visit the small town in Europe where your ancestors lived in order to get a taste of your own personal history.

3) Create Travel Rituals

Traveling as empty nesters often can be draining if it’s not done properly. You don’t want to spend 45 minutes the morning before your flight looking for your passports. You also don’t want to be stranded in a new country without any charging cables, underwear, or a toothbrush. It’s no fun scrambling to find a drug store to purchase the necessities.

These issues arise from not having systems in place, and if you plan to be traveling empty nesters, you must have systems in place. Do this far in advance by creating a list of what you need to pack and what you need to consider once you’ve reached the destination.

Taking the Leap

There is a great big world out there that is dying to get to know you. With new total control over your schedule and your life, there’s no better time to get out there and see it. You can turn this season of your life into the greatest one yet with a little bit of travel and a whole lot of adventure.

The Pitstop Planner – How to Experience Nature When Travelling With Family

Experiences will bond a family, uniting them in a shared venture that is treasured forever. When these occasions are experienced in nature, the whole family can disconnect from the daily grind and immerse in the moment… CONTINUE READING >> 

Experiences will bond a family, uniting them in a shared venture that is treasured forever. When these occasions are experienced in nature, the whole family can disconnect from the daily grind and immerse in the moment. If it’s been a while since you stepped outside with your loved ones, or you’re not quite sure where to start, try some of these group nature ideas.

Family sport

Taking time on a weekend or holiday to get outdoors and be active is something that the whole family will enjoy. Not only that, it’s also a healthy practise to imprint on your children. It doesn’t have to be too complicated either, just a run around with some soccer balls, a cricket kit or even some badmitten. Whatever sport your family worships – start recreating it!

This can be particularly fun on a family holiday, when you are outdoors already and have access to beautiful parts of nature. Deciding what sort of sports the whole family want to play, and what is the most optimal equipment to pack, will save you the headache of a last minute cull before you set out.

Hikes and trails

Be careful in framing this activity, because your children may give you that look if you tell them you’re about to embark on a four hour walk. So always lead with the adventure that awaits them. Hikes and trails are enjoyed by parents and children alike, with many opportunities to get up close to the local wildlife.

Wherever you are travelling, Australia is home to many walking and hiking trails, so you can select one that interests you and your family the most – beach, bush, forest or rainforest. You can even put one person in charge of the map, the other refreshments, and another one can decide when you stop for breaks.

Mode of transport

It’s so easy to just take a taxi in a new city when you are travelling with family. But what if you chose to walk instead, take the ferry, or a local bus? These different transport modes will give you a more “hands-on” experience of your surroundings, and it’s a great way to get into the local step of a city and live like they do. More often than not, these transport options will put you right in the centre of the action, as transit stops are notoriously placed near tourist hot spots and iconic landmarks.

Markets

Every city will have a market, and most will have more than one. These outdoor markets will offer a fusion of cultural culinary delights, and some will offer hand-made crafts and second-hand trinkets. Understand what markets are available in the location you are travelling to and be one of the first in attendance to try the local cuisine or purchase a momento.

The best part about going to the markets is that they are completely outdoors, driving home that importance of getting outside and exploring your surroundings. Who says you have to go indoors to shop and dine?

Camping

Nothing beats pitching a tent and setting up camp under the stars. Waking up with the sun and spending the day at the beach or lake are memories your children will replicate again when they are parents themselves. This type of holiday gives you a huge nature hit, and there are so many activities to keep the whole family entertained. Play cards by the fire, or enjoy an open air BBQ after a long day in the sun – there is so much you can squeeze into a camping break.

Not enough of us are getting out there and experiencing nature. Vitamin D and a promise of memories are just some of the drawcards, with options that will surprise and delight every member of the family.
