Kauai – A Place Rich in Tastes and Sights

An Aerial View of Kauai We took an incredible helicopter tour over Kauai. This was my first ever helicopter ride, so I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I got a lot more than I expected. The scenery was amazing! Amazing waterfalls crested the cliffs

From Spouting Horn to Fog Horn: An Exploration of Kauai from Coast to Coast

Spouting Horn is a natural formation of lava tubes that forces water to explode out of its natural pipelines. It also kind of sounds like a whale when it shoots water out (it also kind of looks like a whale spouting). This place has become

Omiš was a very beautiful town near Split with a lot of super fun adventures. One of these activities was zip-lining in the mountains. We did this and I think that it was our best day in Split. During our time zip-lining we cruised over lush

The first day trip that we went on from Zagreb was to Trakošćan Castle. Trakošćan was huge, very beautiful, and had lots of cool features and ancient artifacts. The coolest feature was the monstrous turrets, which were very well preserved (not to mention how well preserved the castle 

Zipping Through Zagreb

Zipping Through Zagreb

Zagreb, the largest city in Croatia, just happened to be the start of my vacation. This beautiful city also happens to be the capital of Croatia. The town is split in half by a hill and connected by a funicular and a tunnel system. The
