Summer is officially over but the memories I had this summer is unforgettable. It is my first time to try out something adventure and I may say life risky activity for a traveller like me. Joining me and Mike are his pals from this mountaineering club we’ve joined before in our area. At first, we have tried local mountains here in Asia, did a little of hiking here, camping up there and campfire in some places. But the best thing we have ever tried is our preparation for our almost a year of tiredness and exhaustion is coming to us face to face. Yes, we will be climbing the highest peak of Mount Everest which is situated in Nepal and some part of Tibet, China.
I was hesitant to join the team at first since hearing those scaredy stories in climbing Everest will make you back out. But what enlightened us are those stories that gave us hope that we can do this. It’s not actually climbing the peak of Everest, well at least we made it to the 3rd base of the mountain which is no joke to climb. Those try outs of mountain climbing here and hiking everywhere made it a little easier for us to explore Everest. Aside from physically fit preparation, we have to prepare items to be brought with us in the mountain.
For me, the most important thing you need to consider is your jacket! Super! This is our life saver! Good thing The North Face has their complete line of everything I need from head to toe and even back and front. I’ve got to hoard on some of their items during their grand sale online and other items on their regular price which is absolutely justifiable and reasonable for their prices. I got a shell jacket that kept me warm during the whole exploration, Mike got the same thing and so is the rest of the team since North Face is a trusted brand to us mountain climbers.
The whole trek went rocky, bumpy and some part went some smooth just like how life should be. But in the end, after all those chappy lips, violet skins, numb hands, everything was all worth it when we finally saw our homebase camp and marked our destination with our very own flag. All worth it and I’m willing to do this again.

A few years ago a few of my friends went travelling around the world and all of them had one favourite place – a tiny island called Gilli Trawangan, a tiny little island just off the coast of Bali and forming part of the Lombok islands. The way my friends talked about this place made it sound like a heaven on earth. They paid no more than two pounds a night top live in a little wooden shack supported by poles on the edge of the beach. Every day they did nothing more than snorkel by day and relax in the pub by night but they could barely bear to drag themselves away from the place when their trip came to an end.
Having heard so much about the place I was determined to go there myself. It was only because I was a year younger than them and I was still doing my degree that I hadn’t been able to go they first time, so I owed it to myself to see the place at long last. I started to have a look around on the internet to see if I could find any affordable flights to Bali and I managed to track some down that were quite manageable. My girlfriend and I headed out there and after one flight and several small boat rides we finally reached Gilli. It was everything I had ever hoped it would be and more.

Planning a holiday but this time you want a different escape. Get you away from the hustle and bustle of the city. A vacation trips that will be physically challenging and will make you enjoy the outdoors as well.
This could be an outdoor travel you can plan with your family, that will involve everybody. Go on a hiking, this will get your family to explore the outdoors this time, and even get to bond with them. There will be a lot of interaction within the group because its an adventure that involves everyone to participate.
Another outdoor travel you can also try to experience is Mountain climbing. Some people consider this as a sport of some kind especially to those who want to make it more challenging. This is not as easy as hiking because you have this mountain to conquer and that is what it makes it rewarding. It’s the adrenalin rush of fulfillment once you’ve reached the top or your goal.
So make sure before you start on planning this outdoor travel to get advice from the experts especially if its your first time. An expert guide will teach you the ropes at first because I wouldn’t advice you to do it on your own especially if it’s everyone’s first time. Make it a memorable escape.

There are people who do traveling. Some travel for business. While others, travel because they want to unwind or to have a vacation. There are lots of things you need to consider before you go on a trip or travel. You need to decide what to wear, what to do and most especially, what to bring. A person who is about to travel must decide which things or stuff he/she needs to bring along with them.
You would also might want to consider the things that you are going to bring are very handy and at the same time comfortable. Always remember to keep your cabin baggage as light as possible. You may have to walk long distances. And when you travel light, you will usually have a free hand and you will not get easily tired.
Here’s my list of things to always take along when traveling
1. A good pair of walking shoes. When traveling, you do walking most of the time. Shoes will be very helpful especially to those people who will likely to have blisters.
2. Money. Either you are on a longer-term travel or not, money will be important, but you won’t want to bring too much. Only bring sufficient amount of money with you.
3. First Aid Kit. It consists of bandages in various size; thermometers; tweezers – for removing splinters; pair of scissors; gauze pads; adhesive tapes; allergy medicines; motion sickness medications (These includes anti diarrhea medicines, antacids, aspirins, etc.); antibacterial hand cleaner; insect repellent – if you will be spending time outside; and antiseptic ointments to clean cuts and wounds. Always think of ways on how to stay healthy when traveling. Because I do believe travels or vacations are supposed to be fun-filled and worry-free.
4. Toiletries. These includes toothpaste ,toothbrush and dental floss packed together in a ziplock bag. Feminine wash for females. Shaving gear for men. Nail clippers and tweezers. And also, do not forget small towels.
5. Identification. These are the passport, identification cards and also travel documents which you might need on some places.

Welcome to Toronto! It’s a city of hassle and buzzle. And what’s the best way to go around if you’re a tourist but other than renting a car. Car rental in Toronto is uprising then and even to date. It allows even tourist and locals as well to go about places of must-go and must-see easier. It has that comfort of not having to worry about how you will get to the place.
Then say for example, you have a smaller car of your own and you want to go on a trip with friends or a bigger group, renting a bigger car will allow the ability for your group to go together in one car, rather than having to just convoy. Most often than not when renting a car, you have to get a reservation ahead of time. This is to remove the risk of not getting any rental on your preferred date. There are peak and off peak seasons to this as well. So you have to be aware of this.
Summer, obviously, has the highest rate of car rentals. This is when families, friends, officemates plan a getaway, therefore making rental a good deal.
