Barcelona, Spain

 Recently I visited one of the most beautiful cities in all of Europe, Barcelona Spain. If your someone who loves Gothic style architecture and fantastic spanish cuisine than this is the place for you. Most people who travel to Europe decide to choose a nice hotel but as a traveler who has been there before I STRONGLY suggest you do not do this. Instead you can get the full experience of Barcelona by choosing to stay in one of the thousands of hostels that the city has to offer in its downtown district. Yes you have to share a common area with common travelers such as your self but the money you will save and the experience you get will last you a life time.
Also there are so many things to do in the fantastic city of Barcelona. First I recommend take the cite seeing bus tour to get an idea of all the great things the city has to offer. For example the great church of La Sagrada Famila started by Gaudi and still being built to this day is one of the largest churches in the world besides The Vatican in Rome. Churches not your style take a hike to the top of La Moutain Juic where you can visit the cite of the 1992 Olympic games and has one of the most beautiful views you will ever see. After a relaxing hike you can wind down and take in all fantastic Gothic style architecture of the city. VISIT BARCELONA!!

Egypt


Egypt's national flag

The Beautiful Nile
One of our chosen places to travel is the historic Egypt. Egypt’s whether doesn’t vary much throughout the year so when choosing to travel there it is best to go when it is the least busy. Not only is the desert landscape beautiful but the cool nighttime air can be relaxing. The Egyptian pyramids are a must see of this historic country. The preferred place to stay in Egypt is the capital city of Cairo. Not only is it the center of industry and commerce in the country but a tourist will find the modern conveniences that they are used. Another must see in Egypt is the famous Nile River, the Nile is the center of Egyptian life and lore throughout history. Treating oneself to one of the Nile’s river cruises truly helps a person visualize what life for Egyptian thousands of years was like. After visiting Egypt you can’t help but feel cultured after visiting such a historic country.

Visit Washington DC

One of the greatest places to visit would be Washington DC.  This is one place where you should stay more than a week because there is so much to visit and see. Some places to visit are the Washington monument where you can see in honor of George Washington, who lead to independence and then became the first President. There is also the Capitol and many different museums where you can learn about different facts of  different famous Americans.  The luxurious hotels are well comfortable and suitable for all people who want to enjoy their stay.

Visit London!

I recently had one of the greatest times of my life while visiting London, England with my father. Mind you that when visiting England you must be aware that London is one of the most expensive cities in all the world. Instead of spending time in fancy hotels, you can find cheap hostels in downtown London right next to all the major sights for only half the price. You wont have all the nice privileges of a 5 star resort but your wallet will easily thank you for staying in a hostel. Some fun things to do in London are of course going to pubs all around the city as well as taking a stroll around the Times River where you can see Big Ben, the House of Parliament, and last but not least Buckingham Palace. Visit London! you wont regret it.
