Adventure and Sports

When people from around the world think of the United Kingdom, they often picture the good old town of London. It is fair after all, as most of us will refer to a country by their capital city, but we all know that a country is more than its most famous city. This is definitely the case for the UK, as there are so many more places you can go to have a great and exciting time.

Cardiff – Wales. Cardiff is considered to be the capital city of Wales, the part of the UK that is famous for its love of Rugby and its rainy weather, along with its high sheep count. The truth is that Wales is a beautiful part of the country, with rich and green valleys and many old castles to visit. There are also beaches, and even though they are not like the sunny Californian coastline, their tranquillity and beauty is still a sight to behold. The people in Wales are friendly and they love a good drink. If you love beer and rugby, Wales is the place for you. Friendly lads, ladies who know how to drink and love to drink, what’s not too like?

Peak District National Park. For a more mountainous experience, the peak district in central England fills a lot of good points. Peak District’s high point Kinder Scout reaches 2,088 feet (636 meters) above sea level, and the whole park is made of beautiful moorland plateaus and gritstone ridges. There are a lot of places for those who love trekking, but for those looking to have fun you will also find the loveliest countryside pubs. It is great to meet people after a long walk, and even perhaps meeting the lovely local ladies. On the worst case if you get really lonely you can always use the no.1 UK dating site Sex With No Strings, it’s pretty popular out there so you could just arrange some hook-up if that’s how you roll.

Brighton – Brighton is situated in the south of London, and is recognised by most as the gay capital of the UK. This coastal town has a great beach and a pier, but where it really stands out is its nightlife scene. The clubs and pubs, along with its eager-to-party population makes Brighton a place worth trying, if not just for the one night. It is difficult to spend a night in Brighton and not enjoy yourself, no matter what your sexual orientation is. Simply put: Brighton is a great time waiting to happen!

Devon and Cornwall. Located in the South West of England, Devon and Cornwall are simply some of the best parts of the UK for those who enjoy surf and having a good time. Lots of beaches and some good waves, but also towns like Plymouth in Devon or Newquay in Cornwall can offer a great night out. Newquay especially has a reputation of being a good party town favoured by Stag dues and Hen nights, and truth be told you probably won’t need to use a dating site or a hook-up app to meet some friendly ladies. But simply reducing Cornwall and Devon to drinking and surfing wouldn’t do them justice, as the countryside simply looks stunning and offers many coastal walks, especially when the weather is good.

So there you go, we made a little list based on not only the beauty of certain places, but mostly on how much fun you are likely to have. All those places make for a balanced choice, so that nature lovers and thrill seekers alike may find what they are looking for. We hope it helps you to think a bit outside the box, for every country is much more than its capital city.

Air travel is, of course, the standard way of reaching some of the most exciting places on Earth. It’s also my preferred mode of transportation that gave me with unique experiences I wouldn’t trade for anything. I spent the last half-decade hopping about various locations. Here, I’ll detail a handful of the most memorable ones.

If there’s one thing that’s difficult to look forward to while flying anywhere, is the long airport lines, especially around summer holidays. Once you’ve flown with one commercial flight line, you’ve flown with them all – and the experience doesn’t get better with age. Perhaps surprisingly, this is one of the reasons why renting private jets is becoming a thing as the prices dropped considerably from the days when only CEOs could afford them. They can take you almost anywhere in the world, and give you a lot of options for large groups, family travel and even individual charter flights.

1. The Wonders of Aspen Colorado

The minute we landed in Maroon Bells between the Elk Mountains of Pitkin and the Gunnison county, I understood why Colorado is one of the most popular ski resorts in the nation – maybe the world. The natural beauty is almost overwhelming, as icy blue skies merge into white mountain-tops and verdant green pine before the clear lakes. There’s a touch of golden aspen scattered all about the countryside; which beckons to hikers like a long lost lover. The trail is easy, runs for about a mile, and the payoff is the splendor of Maroon Lake. I cannot wait to go back!

2. Safari In Cape Town

No one could ever again doubt your claim as an adventurer if you go on safari. There’s simply nothing like the Kruger National Park experience, where the most sublime denizens of Nature are but a stone’s throw away from you in all their uninhibited glory.

You’ve never truly seen a pride of lions until you’ve seen them roaming the amber grasslands and woodland bush plains of the African continent. I found it breathtaking, in its own special way, as Aspen, Colorado – despite the 180 degree difference in environment.

While you’re there, take a break from the adrenaline-pumping visits by caravan to the Reserve, and take a hiking or biking tour on the Cape Peninsula, overlooking the bluest part of the Atlantic you’ll ever see. The tours are always available, and they include scenic picnics and even a cruise ride around Duiker Island. With such amazing experiences such as these, why wouldn’t you choose adventure travels? 

3. Machu Picchu – The Lost City of the Incas

This lovely vacation spot sits in the Andes Mountains in the South American country of Peru. The ruins of the long-dead Incan civilization are preserved for posterity and you get a bird’s eye view of the spectacular scenery that has drawn tourists since the early 1900s, when it was rediscovered and opened to the world. This recent discovery is great for tourists, as this 600 hundred year old place is included on their lists of must-see destinations.

As for the glorious ruins, you will understand why they’re so exquisite when you read about the history of the place: Machu Picchu was reserved for Incan royalty – particularly, kings and chiefs. It was a like a resort in its time, with hundreds of symmetrical structures displaying the architectural abilities of the artisans of that time. There are multiple hiking trails available on the tours, and various temples to visit. Don’t miss a chance to ride the luxury train that gives a splendid view of the Andes during your trip to the ruins.

4. The West Indies – Nevis and Saint Kitts

Dormant volcanoes and beautiful beaches all around awaited us as we jetted into Nevis and Saint Kitts. I’d never seen golden, black and pure white sands – such an amazing variety on Pinney’s Beach and near Nevis Peak volcano, where we went hiking. The extremely well-maintained Nevis Botanical Gardens was worth every minute we spent there, and the Thai food at the Oasis (Gardens Restaurant) was a welcome difference from some of the overly-processed Thai I’ve eaten in the States.

You wouldn’t regret a visit here on vacation – especially with a significant other, where the romantic vibes are very strong amid the bonfires, karaoke and dancing on frigate Beach.

I’ve enjoyed these travels as much as any others, even more so with the splendor that private jets offer and without all that airport scramble. I look forward to finding more unique adventure spots. Don’t worry, I’ll share them all with you!

As you know, my brother and I like to drink a lot of beer while traveling. We are what you would call “beer connoisseurs“. We like to enjoy local food dishes too, which aren’t always the healthiest options for us. Although we love to enjoy ourselves and indulge, we also like to stay fit and attempt to be at least a little bit healthy while traveling the world. So we compiled a list of our top workouts for men, while traveling. They are basic, but I find that keeping it simple is your best bet while on the road. If you tend to overcomplicate things, it doesn’t always get done.

Running

I know it sounds super simple and that you shouldn’t need to read this article to know that you can run to stay fit while traveling, but it isn’t always easy to find the motivation while on the road. This is my favorite type of workout because I can get it over and done with in 20-40 mins depending on my motivation level. When you get in the routine of it, no matter where you are, you will get up and run in the morning. By the evening, my motivation has gone down drastically, so I tend to go first thing in the morning. (Awesome new music always helps motivate me as well).

Body Weight Exercises

Planks, pushups and squats, oh my! Don’t underestimate the amount of sweat you can get going with just a 30 minute HIIT Training session (HIIT stands for High Intensity Interval Training). Basically you go as hard as you can for a minute, rest for 30 seconds and continue on for 7-20 minutes. (Keep in mind you can do a variety of interval times – these are just the ones I prefer). I know everyone thinks that mostly girls use Pinterest.com, but it’s a great resource for finding new exercises to keep your body on it’s toes and keep you interested/challenged in your workouts.

Local Exercise

I used to get nervous about going to a local gym, yoga or crossfit, but sometimes you just have to push yourself to go. It is much more motivating to get your butt kicked when you’re being told what to do. Or, often I am much more motivated once I’m at the gym. I figure I might as well give it my all when I’m already at the gym, rather than sometimes losing interest in my home workouts while traveling. Lastly, using a steroids shop – steroids-evolution.com to keep fit is much more common in other parts of the world.

Overall, keeping your workouts simple is your best bet while traveling. The actual workout part usually isn’t the challenge. The big challenge for most people is finding the motivation. Get a routine going on your vacation and you will be able to enjoy yourself a lot more. You will release endorphins and work off any of that extra indulgences :).

In case you are looking for the most beautiful places that you can visit in the world, you should consider roadtripping on some of the most beautiful roads. You can easily find rental car coupons and travel cheap to see some of the most amazing sights. Below are some places that have some very scenic, outstanding and beautiful roads that you should visit.

1. Route 1 in Iceland.

Route 1 found in Iceland is a ring road. It runs around the edges of the nation and goes farther through the world’s exciting scenery. The road passes the eastern side of the country’s cosmopolitan capital, Reykjavik and goes again to pass through another awesome fjord, small fishing villages, wandering wild deer and mountains. Must-see scenes are many but a few of bucket-list-worthy recognizing comprises the amazing Jökulsárlón glacial lake, the gorgeous hot springs and Lake Mvatn, and the Seljalandsfoss waterfall.

2. Blue Ridge Parkway in North Carolina.

In the history of the most visited destinations in America, you cannot miss the Blue Ridge Parkway. No wonder it has earned its nickname as “America’s Favorite Drive”. The parkway spans a gloriously nice view, from the boundaries of Smoky Mountains National Park situated in North Carolina. It continues to the outside of Shenandoah National Park in Virginia. The road passes through the rough mountains and the undulating plains of the Appalachian Mountains. All through this is a distance of 469 miles, the Blue Ridge Parkway crosses small mountain towns and spectacular overlooks that possess general views of the striking landscape.

3. Ruta 40 in Argentina.

One of the spectacular things about the road is its length. Covering a distance of 3195 miles, it remains one of the longest highway in Argentina and the world at large. On its way from the southern side at Cabo Vírgenes, this highway winds through the isolated plains of Patagonia and continues to twist to the northern side and it is flanked to the west by the great tops of the Andes. Prior to getting to its highest spot at Abra del Acay, Ruta 40 crosses bustling towns and pristine lakes and eventually approaches its terminal at the true exhibition of Argentina’s amazingly distinct scenery found in the edge town of La Quiaca.

4. Highway One in Monterey County, California.

Highway One is Ranking high among the United States’ most beautiful roads. It covers approximately the distance of California’s coastline. as you head to Mendocino County in the north, you will find the most scenic part of the road. More so, as you head towards the southern direction from Monterey, this road passes through the lovely seaside harbour of a place called Carmel-by-the-Sea. Additionally, it passes through the California’s starring luxurious cliffs, mountainous Big Sur coastline, the great Bixby Creek Bridge and the overlooking redwoods.

5. The Atlantic Road in Norway

Again, this is another best travel destinations to see the Most Beautiful Roads in the world. The road extends just over five miles, joining the villages of Kårvåg and Vevang through a group of low-lying bridges and pretty archipelago. In fact, this beautiful, breathtaking route is regularly listed among the world’s greatest road trips. It is worth noting that this road is not for the fainthearted since it passes through one of Norway’s most tense, storm-prone seas and across the Storseisundet Bridge that when viewed from a particular angle, seems to drop directly off into the sea.

There are always a few of us who don’t like to road trip (rare, but it happens!). Some prefer the water, cruises, sail boating, surfing, Key West fishing charters and much more. I’ve crossed a few borders in Asia by boat and gone fishing a few times in Central America, it’s definitely worth a try if you’re not interested in traveling by road.
