People all over the globe love to travel. We travel for different reasons like business, relaxation, education or recreational purposes. It is mainly imperative that you stay safe and that you enjoy your journey whether you are wandering for business or for pleasure. Remember to plan your trip well in advance. Choose your destination and then plan your itinerary. Book your flights and hotel reservation much in advance, especially during the seasonal period, to avoid distresss. Traveling can be a very delightful experience if you do appropriate preparation in advance.

Recently I was asked this question and thought I’d share it with my readers here on the blog..

What are some of your personal favourite and memorable travel experiences from around the globe?

One of my favorite and memorable travel experiences was going to a foot spa in Spain. The name of the spa was “The Foot Doctor” I walked by, saw the name and the fish tanks and thought that they were healing fish. I was curious so I walked in. The spa owner asked me if I wanted to do “it.” I asked, “do what?” I still didn’t get it. She said have the dry skin removed by the fish. I had heard of this but never seen it. I love new experiences when I travel so I talked my traveling gals into doing it too and we had a blast. It tickled! We giggled! There were 75 fish in the tank. They cleaned and sanitized our feet and checked for any cuts or sores. (if you have any they don’t allow you to do it) It tickled when they sucked on a new spot. After the treatment my feet tingled. I was so surprised that it really did work. My husband felt my feet and said they were really soft. I would do it again and again but we don’t have them here.

Are you looking for something entertaining and exploratory to accommodate the whole family?  You may want to consider a camping vacation. Hiking, swimming, camping, fishing and sports are a few of the most familiar activities to take pleasure in during a family camping trip. There are a great number of resorts which offer extraordinary, seasonal and themed activities that would  make each destination unique.

I don’t know about you but I really love to go to exotic places. I like to stay in hotel and dine in restaurants that are unique or provide a different experience.
