Emily Starbuck Crone is a 20-something travel addict and professional writer from Austin, Texas. Already she s sailed to Santorini, strolled through the red light district of Hamburg travel in greece , checked out glaciers in Alaska, bathed in a hammam in Istanbul and explored ruins in Belize. And she s still not done! Keep up with her latest adventures on her blog Maiden-Voyage-Travel .
Get tips on things to do and places to eat from locals. Guidebooks can be great, but I've received some of the best advice by asking locals what they recommend when you're there. travel in greece Ask your waiter or someone sitting next to you on the bus. I've found that many people around the world are very friendly if you are kind and genuine. They always know the best places and can help you avoid tourist traps.
There's not one right way to travel. Lots of hardcore backpackers think that people travel in greece who stay in nice hotels or go on cruises don't travel authentically. And sometimes people who do nicer travel travel in greece think backpackers are all grubby, hostel-going partiers. I say that all travel is eye-opening and authentic in its own way. I have traveled with a variety of different budgets and can see the merits of both sides of the spectrum. I'm not set on one travel style—why pigeonhole yourself?
Edinburgh , Scotland. Their locals are the friendliest people I have ever met. The architecture is stunning, the history is fascinating, the arts and culture scene is vibrant, and there is a massive travel in greece castle overlooking the city from above. I loved everything about it other than the overcast weather.
I love the food in Costa Rica. The traditional casado plate consists of rice, beans, plantains (sweet banana), a protein (beef, chicken, or fish) and a little side salad. It's healthy and filling—I ate it just about every day when I was there in May. I love that they have plantains in their cuisine in so many forms; I could eat maduros travel in greece all day long.
It's been a few years since I've been, but my family used to go to Estes Park, Colorado every summer for years on end. It is in a gorgeous mountain town with the freshest air I've ever smelled. There is abundant wildlife and greenery. It sits along the Rocky Mountain National Park, so we go on mountain hikes with stunning vistas. It's so peaceful and always makes me feel relaxed and at one with nature.
I keep hearing that Southeast Asia has the best value, but I haven't been myself, so I can't say for sure. Mexico is the most affordable place I've been, though it's having issues with drug violence.
That would be Mexico. I live in Texas, so I'm close to it and have been several times. Though I haven't gone in several years—the violence has become very brutal. Many areas are still supposedly safe, but as sad as it is, I'd rather not risk it.
Probably Istanbul , the history just blew me away, and the architecture was phenomenal. I didn't jibe well with locals—the men were very aggressive and the conservative women weren't too friendly. That was disappointing, but overall travel in greece it was interesting seeing a massive city that is so old, conservative, and traditional, but is trying to modernize travel in greece at the same time.
This is going to sound bad, but I actually don't read many travel books! I mostly read fiction thrillers and non-fiction about nutrition and health. I do so much travel writing (day job and blog) and reading of travel blogs that in my leisure travel in greece time, I'd rather get lost in a different subject.
Naps! I also took melatonin on my last trip and it seemed to help on both ends of the trip. I had used it for sleep before, but it was my first time to try it specifically for jet lag. A lot of people say it helps.
I actually travel in greece just returned from a major summer of travel—I went to Costa Rica, Las Vegas, and Ireland. I'm still recovering, and the only next trip on my agenda is a long weekend in Houston, Texas next month to see family. It's about a three-hour car ride from where I am in Austin. It's actually a bit of a relief to not have any big trips on the horizon.
