How Not to Travel

Image
Estimated reading time: 5 minutes I am certainly not a "pro" at travel. With my country count in their 30s, some of you are certainly more experienced than I am. But as someone who likes to learn from my mistakes and share, I write this blog post to show you how to avoid making the mistakes I made. Before I continue, feel free to connect with me on social media, my IG handles are @ intraordinarytravels @ thisisintraordinary  @ theintraordinaryshop and on pinterest . Or you can simply subscribe to my travel channel. Now I'm ready to begin. I took a 3 day weekend trip to Nice, France in the last week of March. It was a good break but I will consider it one of my least successful trips. Why? Because I think I wasted a lot of time and used more money than I could have. Watch the Nice/Cote d'azur vlog below. Behind the scenes of making of this vlog, I deleted a lot of photos and video footage of this trip so I've had to manage with what I had left to put this togethe

Poem: A talking pen

Estimated reading time: 1 minute. Pens do not talk, A statement I sometimes make to hush the sounds of noisy students. In the classroom, I crave silence While my mind roars and whooshes, like waves hitting the shores of a rocky beach. It's not quiet here - It hardly is. My life looks like a blank canvas, Hardly visible, and I do not desire to put it on display either. Sometimes I do share; but only once in a blue moon; When the yellow sun comes out, I chase sunsets on trips of Intraordinary Travels. But while my life is very quiet, My mind isn't. That's why I need a talking pen, To write all the things I'd like to say. To paint the finer details of this sketch called life To discern the dead notes of life's song which might not be dead, but perhaps dull. Or maybe not dull, but perhaps hidden, A good musician once said 'emancipate yourself from mental slavery' And this talking pen; my pen, is my blog. I may go back and forth with questions of life and faith,
