5 Tips for the Solo Traveller

How To Pack for Vacation Using Military Packing Tips
Planning and booking a vacation is the best feeling, because you're thinking and listing all of the fun activities you'll be doing. But you know what's not fun... packing. Whether you pack days before your vacation or three hours before your flight takes off, packing is seriously nerve-racking. Even though we do know exactly what to pack, we will somehow manage to forget a few important items and remember the second we board the airplane. Especially if it's a necessity, all hell breaks loose.

10 Genius Vacation Packing Tips. Top Story - March 2018.
Packing for an exciting vacation trip can literally kill your mood for the trip. Even if you're going on vacation for three days, if you're like some of us, we actually pack our entire house. We end up loading our luggages with the most unnecessary things that we don't use during vacation. This causes to consume storage room and eventually lead our luggages impossible to close. We also just stuff our clothing into our bags, not even folding them at times. Either we're so fed up with packing, or packing a few hours before our flight takes off, this causes us to grab whatever we can and shoving them into our luggage.

What Makes Disneyland Truly Magical Pt. 2
Hello everyone! Welcome to part two of my articles pertaining to true Disney Magic. In this section, I want to tell you about the "easy to miss" details Tomorrowland has to offer. Jumping right in—Tomorrowland is one of the coolest lands Disneyland has to offer. Storm Troopers roam the walkways, and spaceships whirl through the air! There is a lot to see and do in this part of the park, so you have to really focus your attention while you're there. This land is also one of the most crowded EVER so keep that in mind when you are looking for "magical details." Luckily for you, the first thing on my list you can see while you are in line for Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters. Pretty much all of the plant life in Tomorrowland is edible, and not the "weird herb" kind of edible. The planters are actually little gardens full of kale, jalapeños, tomatoes, carrots, and even a few orange trees. Kind of cool right? Sadly they don't use the vegetables that they grow (I asked). So I'm not saying pick some and get a free lunch but seriously "waste not," right?
