Typically, I’ve been a hostel and bus or train kind of girl. I take the budget airlines, I stay in the cheap motels, and I look for ways to save money whenever I can. But lately, I’ve found that I no longer want to make life more difficult for myself when I travel. I would actually rather take a shorter trip and truly enjoy it than take a long trip where I’m constantly on the move. I’ve always hated packing and unpacking my things when I’m travelling, and this has only increased as I’ve gotten older. I’m not a light packer, and I tend to spread my things out all over the hotel or hostel so packing is time-consuming and stressful. I also usually prefer travelling slowly, simply because while I would like to see as much as possible in a short time, I’ve learned my lesson and I hate…

I’ve been searching for some trips that are a little more thrilling and bound to come with some really good stories to share with loved ones when you return home. Here are my top 5 amazing holiday ideas for adventure lovers: 1. Do the Trans-Siberian Railway This is usually on the travel bucketlist for most people I’ve met around the world, however many people are put off by the price or the challenge of organising it all. That’s why a Trans-Siberian Tour could be the perfect solution; you’ll get all the excitement and adventure of exploring the Trans-Siberian by train, but without any of the stress, hassle and language barriers that would be bound to happen otherwise.

Whether you are studying a military history degree or just have a keen interest in either American history or military battles, there are a wealth of sites that you should visit. The American civil war is a huge part of American history and despite being long over, finishing in 1865, the issues that led to this historic war are still very relevant today. The Civil war decided what kind of country America would become, both morally, with the Northern win securing the end of slavery, and physically, allowing it to remain as one nation, instead of dividing up into states. However, amazingly, these are still issues today. Slavery is still present across the globe and treatment of minority groups is far from equal. This makes this the best time to visit the sites of epic civil war battles, to remind ourselves of what has come before, and of what can…
