Have you are wanted to get out of the Country? How about go to Brazil?  Well if you start saving your money now you could go to the World Cup in 2014 which is being held in Brazil.  I would consider doing this myself because I will be three years out of college and I have a close friend who has family in Brazil that live close by to the statium as well as having plenty of other attactions to visit while you are there when you are not watching the World Cup.

Start early on planning your trip to the 2012 Olympics in London. You don’t want to miss out on this great opportunity to see the Oplympics in person.

You can do this by checking out the website.

 The Olympics is taking place in Vancouver this year. On NBC you can check out when events are going to be on television, see the results, medals,  and all the sports that are involved with the winter Olympics. You can also read news stories about events that already happened on the Olympics. If you are already at the winter Olympics this year here are some attactions that you can do outside of the Olympics.

Earthquake in Chile

Make sure when you decide to travel that the weather is going to be good and that they aren’t expecting any storms.

If you don’t your trip could end badly. You wouldn’t want to be stuck in a situation that you could have avoided.  An example of this would be what happened today in Chile and Hawaii.

One of my favorite shows to watch is man v Food which is on the Travel Channel.  This show just shows where all the amazing places are to eat when you are traveling around America and also where there are eating contests which is always fun to watch.

Here is a video clip of what the show is about and why people watch it  The Appeal of Man v Food

I found this newspaper clip online and thought it is something that needed to be shared with everyone because I don’t think a lot of people know about this.

I know that you can’t really read this so here is the Website.

Traveling light will save you in many differernt ways.  If you only bring one bag with you then you don’t have to pay for luggage. Also this means you wouldn’t have to check in any bags and will probably carry on your luggage so that way you don’t have to worry about it getting lost or something.  You will save time, money, and much more.  After reading this article it made me think about why I travel with so much luggage that is not needed.
