11 Most Extreme Places to Camp in the World
I love going camping with my son Jarret. Ever since the divorce, it's been an opportunity for him and I to bond over frugal gourmet like hotdogs stuffed with string cheese and wrapped in bacon or ice cream cones stuffed with mini marshmallows, Nutella, and crushed cookies. Both cooked in a tin foil wrapping! We also cook a lot of other tin foil campfire recipes. I would love to take our camping adventures to the next level, but he has too many fears. We don't have to start with the most extreme places to camp in the world, but I'd love to work our way up to one of these destinations so that even after I'm gone he still remember how his father pushed him to be his best self and to step out of his comfort zone, both figuratively and literally.

Budget-Friendly Things That Are Worth Doing at Disney World
Last summer, my family and I made a week trip to Disney World. We went on a tight budget because it's, well, Disney, and they like to charge an arm and a leg for everything. After a lot of research through blogs and info pages online, I found that there are actually quite a few cute little budget-friendly things that you and your family can do.

London Clubs
London is an extraordinary city. It became even more extraordinary when I found out about the night life after ten years of living in the city. I came across a host of clubs...some of the best I have ever seen in my life—and trust me, I have clubbed everywhere in the world, most notably in Cannes and Monaco, as well as Spain, Turkey, Germany, and Montenegro.

Ireland
Going to Ireland feels like going home. There’s a sense of calm excitement that comes over you once you arrive whether it’s your first time or your fifty-first time. And if you’re not careful, you may lose part of your heart and soul once you step on Irish soil. So be prepared!

The Joyless Jigsaw
Let me disappoint you. Even though he isn’t happy, this post won’t reference the villain from the Saw films. Oh. Well, now it does. Never mind. It’s also not (quite) a full review of a jigsaw. I’ve got no clue what you’d say. "The picture was nice but I couldn’t put the pieces together because I’m bad at jigsaws. 2 and a half stars."—The picture wasn’t even that great—that’s actually it being used as the title image. Thank you, Google. Or not as the case may be. The Katherine Ryan gig had ended by this point, which you’d think would mean the fun had too. "When the Katherine Ryan gig has ceased to exist, so has the enjoyment of the witnesses" is a Chinese proverb (invented in South Wales literally a few seconds AFTER it was written down. Yes, after).

Traveling to Finland

Stavanger
One of the first places we’ve stopped at on the Britannia cruise was Stavanger. It’s sometimes known as Norway’s oil city and is twinned with Houston and Aberdeen. It’s popularity has been constantly booming in population thanks for its oil economy. It’s a really pretty area and love looking at all the exterior designs of the houses. I like how the streets are colourful and they feel unique and homely. Especially all the reds, yellows, and whites.

How It Feels to Touch the Clouds
Growing up, have you ever wondered what it feels like to fly? Or what it feels like to touch a cloud? I did, but I was also scared of heights. I refused to ride in an airplane and was even terrified to ride roller coasters. So how did I become one of these crazy people that jump out of airplanes, you ask? Well, sit back and enjoy my tale.
