Travel Widens Horizons

By Russell G. Stuart

Seeing new places, meeting new people and learning about the history and culture of places is interesting. Travel is also for relaxing, enjoying and letting your hair down. Tourists and visitors go round the world sight seeing, clicking pictures and enjoying themselves with new types of food, customs and souvenirs.

www.itraveldays.com is a website which gives interesting information on travel. There are tips for women traveling alone; there are suggestions for cruises, for sightseeing and for enjoying. There are ideas on where to go and how, what to see and do and other such posts which make really interesting reading.

Women travel a lot these days. A post on this website gives ten tips for ladies who are traveling out of their countries. It says that women should avoid traveling alone and they should choose some friend or relative to travel with. Everyday commonplace medicines like aspirin or tablets for indigestion should be carried. Also a sewing kit and first aid kit should be included in the baggage. The places chosen for overnight stay should be easily accessible. It is advisable to have the contact numbers of the local police, hospital and fire station for emergencies.

Money should be divided and kept in different places and in different bags. Photocopies of passport, travelers' checks and important documents should also be kept in different bags along with addresses and contact numbers of people back home. A box of tissues and a toilet roll in the hand luggage are advisable as all places in the world are not hygienic. Be careful of strangers and do not go alone to pubs or bars. Controlling expressions when seeing something different is also advisable. Dress should be like the locals so that you do not stand out. Be careful of what you eat. It is safe to stick to fresh fruits and safe drinking water.

Recent posts on this website give information of skiing in Niederau, Puerto Galera, Cruises in Sydney and others. There are several travel packages which you can choose and enjoy with your family.

This website has posts on cruises, skiing places, family holidays and the like. You can choose and select and go on a holiday. But you should research and find out more about the place you are going so that you know what to expect.

A post on Puerto Galera in the Philippines suggests that scuba diving here is great. If you like water sports there are many places to choose from. Thailand is known for its coastal tourist places which offer underwater diving, and other sports.

Philippines is a great place for scuba diving. If you really like scuba diving then you should try going to Puerto Galera where it is really very good. Different parts of the world have different types of sports and enjoyment. You can select where you want to go and make preparations. Christmas holidays and New Year are the right time for it.
