my travel ambitions

Would you believe that despite my financial difficulties, I am still thinking of vacation and adventure. Who says I can’t, right? However, this thought is out of envy towards my stewardess friend. Yeah, I know envy is a bad thing. I’d better stop thinking that way and find the right approach to make my travel ambitions into reality.

The truth of the matter is that I have been reading several reviews and articles on how to save when traveling abroad. One of the best techniques I determined, I think, is to stay in holiday villas or cottages instead of hotels. Why is that so? Well, it goes like this.

Holidays villas are much cheaper as compared to staying in a hotel with a daily rate and per room basis because most villas accommodate a larger number of travelers like a family of eight perhaps. The price that will be paid will cover the entire duration of the stay and includes every family member and even pets as well. From that alone there is a big difference. The amount could be used to finance local fare or food during the trips. But, the good thing is that this is not only the advantage of choosing a holiday villas. In fact, there are more to than just savings.

my travel ambitionsAs I read through Villa Parade villa holidays site, I learned that choosing a villa gives me freedom to choose from the number of options. In this site alone I discover over 450 exclusive villas and holiday apartments throughout the Mediterranean. I think that’s already a wide array of choices.

In addition to that since it gives freedom the feeling is more likely staying in your own home in a foreign land. It gives the same privacy for the whole family to enjoy each other. And you are less likely to feel loss because you get to know more locals who know more about the great places to visit.

Well, moving forward on my travel ambitions, I actually made a list of places I want to visit. Hubby told me that if we get a regular job, we will start saving for our trip abroad. And after two to three years we will visit the first place we deem we will enjoy.

I have tackled some of these places in my previous posts. But, I haven’t touched Cyprus yet. I think this is the best instance to do it. Basically, Cyprus is the Mediterranean’s third largest island, and one of the most popular tourist destinations. It offers a number of prehistoric settlements and structures that would surely take me back in time. Plus, it has a number of breathtaking beaches. I’m sure I’ll find one that suits my taste. For that, I already grab the opportunity to list down several holiday villas in Cyprus in my journal.

Aside from Cyprus, I also take down few villa holidays in Mallorca. This is actually new to me since all I know is Spain. But, Mallorca is actually the largest island of Spain. It’s located in the Mediterranean Sea and part of the Balearic Islands archipelago. I only know this in Villa Parade. Since the place is an island, naturally it offers beautiful beaches and an intriguing cultural history.

Well, if you are going to follow this blog after two to three years from now. You’ll get updates as to how my travel plans would end up. Hopefully it would be according to my plan.

Yoga benefits to our body

Yoga benefits to our bodyClaims regarding Yoga that it can promote healing, well-being and can do wonders with our body aren’t unfounded yet; medical studies have shown yoga does indeed produce health benefits. After a yoga class, many will affirm the fact that they feel more energized, happier and more peaceful. How exactly does yoga produce these feelings and how can the body heal itself?

Basically, Yoga makes you more aware of your body, its movements and its alignment. It allows you to know and understand yourself better. Back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek medical attention. In India, where yoga originated, back pain is practically nonexistent. Yoga can cure and prevent back pain by enhancing strength and flexibility. It can also help people with arthritis by providing relief to aching joints and providing joint lubricants. In addition, it relieves tension in muscles.

This can also give physiological and psychological benefits. It has been shown to improve the lives of asthma sufferers by preventing attacks without the use of medicines. It can help respiratory problems by teaching people how to control their breathing. It can lower blood pressure, improve lung efficiency and lower heart rates. Other conditions, which can be improved through the use of yoga, include chronic fatigue, varicose veins, diabetes and digestive disorders.

Regarding also with the aging process this can slow through the use of yoga. Aging is the result of autointoxication. Keeping the body clean, flexible and well lubricated reduces this cell deterioration. Weight reduction is another area where yoga can help. Yoga stimulates sluggish glands. Positions focusing on the thyroid gland can have a positive effect on body metabolism.

Considering the medical community, they are not refuting all of these benefits and in fact they are currently funding clinical trials for treating insomnia and multiple sclerosis with yoga. In addition, they are currently conducting studies of yoga effects on other conditions.

alarming thoughts

Oops! It’s quite alarming as I have been seeing bump in my face again. Is it my hormones surging high again? Or is it due to my sleepless nights or my face is just dirty. When I get to weigh things, actually all that I mentioned would trigger the bumps. It also indicates that I have to wash my face with quality facial cleanser.

I’m trying several products lately and don’t have my regular cleanser on hand. There is no one to blame for that, but only me. I hate my being vain sometimes. It even triggers more problems that I used to have with only one product. The lesson I learned, is try to keep beauty products to a minimum. And just get the best.
