The great thing about traveling abroad is the opportunity to teach your family about culture and diversity, as well as learn a little bit yourself. The Inti Raymi Festival, the annual celebration of the sun near Cuzco, is a great opportunity to take a step into the past, and have a load of fun seeing beautiful cultural wear and elegant dances.
Sailing in Whitsunday IslandsPhoto Credit : chtitefourmi7. Sailing in the Whitsunday Islands, Australia
Don’t get me wrong, sailing is awesome. But it doesn’t get any better than looking down to see the Great Barrier Reef. Whitsunday is a bit of a hidden gem, it is not as popular as some sailing locations nearby, but from all my attempts, I can’t see why. The spot is also built for snorkeling, there is plenty to see down there.
