Shriver House Museum, Gettysburg, Pennsylvania

Red Rock Canyon
Living in the desert, there are few places that I believe stand out from the usual barren hills or sandy dune or even an odd mountain or two. It’s kind of like saying which is better, the Pacific or the Atlantic Oceans? Well, they’re both bodies of water and it’s …
Gibraltar
Gibraltar is a real great place that I just love to be at. I went with my group of friends, sometime in the year 2000 and I would say that this travel destination has a lot of spectacular views and lots of duty free shopping as well.

Beijing Metro

Leaning Tower of Pisa
This is one thing that you have to do if you visit Italy. The town of Pisa is nothing special. It’s a cute little city, but offers nothing you won’t find in any other Italian town, except for the famous Leaning Tower. But I have to say, that one …

Llandudno Pier, Llandudno, Wales
The seaside resort of Llandudno on the north coast of Wales is well known (and in my opinion deservedly so) for its delightful, and slightly old-fashioned, holiday atmosphere, making it perfect for families. One of the things that contribute greatly to this feel is the town’s traditional Victorian pier, …

My friend kept our …
