Why Sao Miguel In The Azores Should Be Next On Your Bucket List
What travel has taught me the most is flexibility, as there are always things that can go wrong. But, if you’re willing to change the plan and adapt, things often turn out better than you planned them. This recently happened to me when I unexpectedly went to Sao Miguel, in Portugal’s Azores Islands. I had set out to go on a volunteer whale watching expedition on the island of Horta, which turned out to be one of the worst trips I’ve ever been on. So, after hearing about how incredible the nearby island of Sao Miguel was, I decided to leave the Horta fiasco early, and go explore the lush…

My Experience Of Volunteering With Dolphins And Whales In The Azores
I recently got an invitation with Biosphere Expeditions to volunteer with dolphins and whales in the Azores. They are a non-profit/charitable wildlife research and conservation organization, and they care deeply about the work that they do. The great thing about volunteering with Biosphere Expeditions is that at least two-thirds of your contribution for will benefit the animal conservation project directly.

Horta, where the expedition is based, is an island with beautiful black lava sea cliffs, and tends to be quite rainy and gray in March. If you make it to the Azores, don’t leave without visiting Sao Miguel, as…

The Best Beaches In St. Petersburg and Clearwater, FL
I moved to Charleston over a year ago from Oregon, and one reason was to be in warmer weather and to be closer to the beach. Well, this has led to many trips to Florida, since it’s not that far away. And, that led to me discovering the beaches in St. Petersburg and Clearwater. I was astounded. I’ve mostly visited the eastern coast of Florida, but discovering the Gulf coast area has made me decide to move there next year. Here are the best beaches I’ve discovered in the area.

The Best Things To Do In Savannah
I recently visited Savannah, Georgia, on a weekend trip from where I live in Charleston, SC, and was very impressed with the Southern charm of the city. While I think there are more things to do in Charleston, (and the food is better here) Savannah is still a beautiful city and I enjoyed my time there. Savannah is full of history and beautiful architecture, and it’s definitely worth a visit. Here are my suggestions for the best things to do in Savannah. The Best Things To Do In Savannah 1.
