With the global pandemic affecting countries across the planet, as well as the increasing threat of climate change, coupled with large scale uncertainty in many different countries worldwide there is undoubtedly a lot to be worried about. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Even reading the previous paragraph would be enough to make some people start feeling anxious! Of course, that is not my aim here; instead, I want to suggest practical ways that can help you to remain calmer during these stressful times. While it is impossible to control everything around us, especially the large scale global issues, there are many different easy changes that you can do to take control of how you feel, that will help to reduce stress levels in your life. </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/OFlxLF0uV6Y" width="560"></iframe></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Here 5 of the best ways that can help you to be calmer during these stressful times: </span></p><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-large;"><b>1. Reconnect With Nature</b></span></div><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Unfortunately, as humans increasingly live in urban areas, as well as spending more and more time indoors, whether this is in our homes, places of work or education, or our cars, we as a species are becoming increasingly disconnected from nature. There is ample evidence to suggest that it is this disconnect from nature that is leading to greater levels of stress, depression and lower levels of health.</span></p><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><blockquote><i><b>“Nature itself is the best physician.”</b></i> - Hippocrates <span style="background-color: transparent; text-align: justify;">(460 BC - 370 BC)</span></blockquote></span></span></div><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Hippocrates of Kos was a Greek physician who is considered to be one of the most important figures in the history of medicine and is often referred to as the "Father of Medicine", due to his role in revolutionising Ancient Greek medicine. Within this quote from him, belies a very important piece of wisdom that has stood the test of time, with increasing evidence from various scientific studies, such as a</span><span style="font-family: verdana;"> </span><a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/earth/story/20160420-how-nature-is-good-for-our-health-and-happiness" style="font-family: verdana;" target="_blank">recent large-scale study conducted by the University of Derby and The Wildlife Trusts</a><span style="font-family: verdana;">, showing just how true these words from him were! </span><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"> </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">It is more important than ever to regularly reconnect with nature, especially with everything that is happening in the world, because being immersed in natural surroundings helps to bring a real sense of peace and calm, with measurable mental and physical health benefits. </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/simonturkas/29000815624/in/dateposted-public/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="Look!"><img alt="Look!" height="428" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/8113/29000815624_84a1a1a016_c.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><script async="" charset="utf-8" src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js"></script></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">If you live in or near the countryside where there is a forest or woodland, a coastal area with a beach, or hills or mountains, you can make maximum use of nature by going for regular walks there, as well as combining this with other forms of exercise such as running or cycling. If you live in a more urban area where immersing yourself in nature may seem more difficult, try to find parks near you, ideally with lots of trees and other plants. </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/simonturkas/50213174228/in/dateposted-public/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="Beautiful Woodland"><img alt="Beautiful Woodland" height="480" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50213174228_bfa8abe72c_c.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><script async="" charset="utf-8" src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js"></script></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">If you can, aim to go for walk in the park every day, whether that is before you start work or perhaps a lunchtime stroll, and this is almost guaranteed to help you calm you down and quiet the worries in your mind. While modern human life seems so rushed and frenetic, encouraging us to always be moving quickly when you spend time in nature you will notice how generally it is slower, calmer and much more relaxing.</span></p><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-large;"><b>2. Use Technology More Intentionally</b></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana; text-align: justify;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">This idea is related to the first point about nature, but whereas I very much advice reconnecting with nature, conversely I suggest taking the opposite approach with digital devices and disconnecting from them as much as possible. Technology in of itself is not the issue, because technology can be used in fantastic ways like phones that allow us to talk to relatives or friends around the world, medical equipment used to save lives, or bicycles used for exercise and transportation. The problem comes, as with many things, when we become over-reliant and addicted to something.</span></div><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Unfortunately, we are becoming increasingly addicted to our digital devices especially mobile/cell phones and the apps and programs they have on them. Rather than utilising these forms of technology to solve a problem when we really need them, it can feel like instead mobile phones, the internet, social media and other apps like YouTube, Spotify and videogames are running us. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">One of the first things millions of people will do when they wake up and go to sleep at night, as well as multiple times during the day is to check their phones, scrolling through social media, reading news, watching videos, playing games, swiping through dating apps, chatting or more. There are many studies though, <a href="https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/how-be-yourself/201803/how-technology-makes-us-anxious" target="_blank">such as this one</a>, that suggests that rather than benign devices that only offer benefits, this excessive use of mobile phones and the internet-enabled programs they offer, maybe causing stress, anxiety and depression, especially among younger people.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I had already noticed my own stress and anxiety levels peak when I overused digital devices like my mobile phone or laptop, the internet and associated apps, especially when it felt compulsive, rather than myself making a conscious decision. I then recently read an excellent book by Cal Newport entitled</span> <a href="https://www.blogger.com/#">"</a><span style="font-family: verdana;"><a href="https://www.calnewport.com/books/digital-minimalism/" target="_blank">Digital Minimalism - Choosing a Focused Life in a Noisy World</a></span>"<span style="font-family: verdana;">, that offered fact-based evidence related to the stress-related problems this overuse creates, as well as excellent solutions to overcome this modern issue, one of which is a 30-day digital detox. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">During this time Newport advises his readers to stop using all forms of digital technology such as social media apps, YouTube, email, your mobile phone etc. expect when absolutely necessary e.g. for work-related purposes. Once this month is over, you can then decide which of this technology is actually beneficial to your life and which you are merely using out of compulsion, thus hopefully ending the addiction and dramatically improving your relationship with technology, in turn allowing you to feel calmer and less stressed. There are several apps I deleted during this time which since ending my digital detox I have not re-downloaded and I can honestly say, I don't miss them at all.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-large;"><b>3. Exercise and Physical Activity</b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">One of the best ways that you can overcome stress and feel healthier both physically and mentally is to exercise or do regular physical activity. For the majority of human existence, as a species, we have been active daily; our bodies are of course designed for movement.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">In the same way that we have become increasingly disconnected from nature and over-connected to digital devices though, we have also become increasingly sedentary, as we choose to drive rather than walk, sit at desks working on our computers, sit watching TV in the evenings and get shopping delivered to our homes.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Much of modern life is marketed as convenient and positive, but in many ways, it is making us unhealthier and unhappier. Mental and physical health used to be seen as separate, but there is now <a href="https://www.mentalhealth.org.uk/a-to-z/p/physical-activity-and-mental-health" target="_blank">overwhelming evidence</a> showing how important maintaining a healthy body is to stay mentally fit and healthy. </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/simonturkas/27426136106/in/dateposted-public/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="Surfers"><img alt="Surfers" height="422" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/7540/27426136106_2e87915cf3_c.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><script async="" charset="utf-8" src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js"></script></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">There are many reasons why exercise is good for mental health including the way it promotes the release of feel-good hormones into the body such as endorphins, a type of neurotransmitter which help to relieve pain and stress, as well as brain chemicals such as dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin, that all play an important role in regulating your mood.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">In addition to these feel-good chemicals, exercise can help to take your mind off of situations, such as the current global pandemic or more day to day worries like work, that may be stressing you out. It might be tempting to use the excuse that you don't enjoy the gym or it's too expensive or far away, but exercise doesn't have to involve paying for a gym or having any expensive equipment at all. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">There are countless workout, yoga and pilates videos available for free on YouTube, many of which involve either no equipment or a few cheap items such as a yoga mat or some weights. You can also go out for walks, runs or bike rides. These are especially good, as it means you will be outdoors getting fresh air and sunlight and can be combined with being in nature, such as a park, woodland/forest or along the coast next to the sea! </span></p><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-large;"><b>4. Getting Quality Sleep and Rest</b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">The importance of getting quality sleep has been highly underestimated, with its massive importance for good mental and physical health only becoming </span><a href="https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/10-reasons-why-good-sleep-is-important#7.-Poor-sleep-is-linked-to-depression" style="font-family: verdana;" target="_blank">more broadly discussed</a><span style="font-family: verdana;"> relatively recently within the mainstream. Sleep had become seen as almost a waste of time and something to avoid, with various so-called business gurus talking about how they got by on six hours sleep or less, while seemingly managing to build and run successful businesses. </span></div><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Videos, blog posts and podcasts advised people that to be successful it is important to 'hustle' and work as hard as possible. If you were building a business you were made to feel lazy if you weren't getting home from your Monday-Friday 9-5 regular job, then working relentlessly on your own business until two in the morning during weekdays, as well as the entire weekend. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">This may be possible for a short period and there is nothing wrong with spending time in the evening and weekends working on a side-business that you are building up, while you also hold down a regular job, but missing out on sleep and adequate rest and recovery time for months or years at a time can have significant long term damaging effects on your physical and mental health. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">This will include putting yourself under unnecessary levels of stress, that can certainly have other knock-on negative effects. </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">Getting quality sleep every night as well as adequate rest each week is a vital component in helping you to stay calmer, especially during these very stressful times. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">What tends to happen if you go to bed late, or get a bad night's sleep due to factors such as consuming alcohol or caffeine, or looking at your phone before sleeping, is that you will wake up feeling groggy the next day. This is very likely to affect your mood and mean you consume coffee to try and stay alert during the day. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">It will mean you are less likely to be able to perform well at work or feel energetic enough to do exercise, cook healthy meals or socialise with family and friends. You may end up consuming unhealthy food, drinking too much caffeine during the day, going to bed late again and having another poor night's sleep, thus creating a vicious cycle. On the other hand, by contrast, if you get regular quality sleep, this is very likely to lead to many other positive effects and benefits!</span></p><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-large;"><b>5. Gratitude</b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">You </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">may be thinking, how is gratitude going to help me, I've not really got anything to be grateful for at the moment? It may seem that way, especially if you're going through difficult times such as money worries, relationship issues, or simply feeling overwhelmed by all the large-scale global issues. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Of course, gratitude will not make these issues magically disappear, but it will help to positively refocus your mind on all the things you may have overlooked that you can be thankful for in your life. When you train your mind to regularly focus more on the good in your life, as opposed to negative thoughts like what you feel you lack, this will make you feel happier, healthier and more stress-free. </span></div><h1 class="quoteText" style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 21px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 0px;"><blockquote><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><i>“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.”</i> <span style="font-weight: normal;">― <span class="authorOrTitle" style="color: #333333;">Aristotle (</span></span></span><span style="font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">384–322 BC)</span></blockquote><span class="authorOrTitle" face="Lato, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif" style="color: #333333; font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold;"></span></h1><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">A practice that I have tried to implement in my daily life, or at the very least two to three times per week, is to keep a gratitude journal. In the mornings I take a moment to write down three different things that I am grateful for. These don't have to be anything big or impressive, rather the little things that I may have been taking for granted. </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/simonturkas/50243978931/in/dateposted-public/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="Beautiful Bee"><img alt="Beautiful Bee" height="400" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50243978931_ea2a70cddf_c.jpg" width="389" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><script async="" charset="utf-8" src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js"></script></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">It's important to try to list different points each day so that your mind stays engaged in this practice and doesn't start taking these things for granted, for you to truly feel gratitude and get the benefits from this. These can be things such as "I'm grateful that I was able to talk to my family on the phone yesterday", "I'm grateful for the restful night's sleep I had", or "I'm grateful to hear the beautiful birdsong outside my window". </span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">"Research shows that grateful people tend to be healthy and happy. They exhibit lower levels of stress and depression, cope better with adversity and sleep better. They tend to be happier and more satisfied with life.

It is impossible to control everything in the world and it's futile to even try.

This includes amazing architectural feats, a fascinating history to discover, rich cultural traditions, world-class events, stunning cities to wander around such as London or Edinburgh where you can shop ‘till you drop, and polite, welcoming people. </font></span></p><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;"><br /></font><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: 1.5; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;">Despite all these excellent characteristics which make Britain a perfect destination to visit, drawing millions of eager tourists and travellers every single year, there is one slight sticking point: the weather. Let’s just say that, British weather can be a little on the unpredictable side. The winter months are undeniably often quite bleak, with grey, miserable days, and yes it does rain quite a bit! </font></span></p><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;"><br /></font><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: 1.5; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;">On the other hand, Britain is a beautiful place with gorgeous landscapes including forests, lakes, mountains and superb beaches and as mentioned a number of incredible cities. While Britain is great at any time of the year to explore either for foreign visitors or those enjoying a staycation, it is especially beautiful in the summer with long, warm sunny days. </font></span></p><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;"><br /></font><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: 1.5; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;">Here are 5 photos showing how beautiful Britain is in the summer:</font></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><font face="verdana" size="5"><b>Norwich, Norfolk:</b></font></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;"><br /></p></span><div style="text-align: left;"><a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/simonturkas/49978094938/in/dateposted-public/" title="White Roses"><img alt="White Roses" height="640" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49978094938_3abf919393_c.jpg" width="481" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-ffe28766-7fff-f943-56e6-e48ddbd58917"><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><font face="verdana" size="5"><b>Pedn Vounder Beach, Cornwall:</b></font></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>

<font face="verdana">The internet is an almost limitless source of travel inspiration, with incredible destinations from all over the world to see with just a few simple searches. Rather than spending time browsing through travel brochures, that let’s be honest can be pretty boring, or traipsing down to the local travel agent, it can feel so much more exciting discovering amazing places to visit yourself online! </font></div><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;" trbidi="on"><font face="verdana"><br /></font></div><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;"><font face="verdana">Of course, more traditional forms of travel research can still be great such as magazines or guide books, but online it becomes that little bit more interesting with all the inspiring content that now exists.</font></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><font face="trebuchet" style="line-height: 1.5;"><span face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif" style="line-height: 1.5;"><br /></span></font></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet;"><br /></span></div><div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;">You can find inspiring travel visuals across all the social networks, but if you’re looking for the very best in video content, then the go-to site is definitely still YouTube. </font></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;">
<span face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif" style="line-height: 1.5;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;"><br /></font></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;">
<span face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif" style="line-height: 1.5;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;">What makes YouTube such an amazing source for researching your next exhilarating, relaxing or breathtakingly beautiful destination is the sheer volume of video content that exists. Over two billion logged-in users visit YouTube every month, with over a billion hours watched daily!</font></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;">
<span face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif" style="line-height: 1.5;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;"><br /></font></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;">
<span face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif" style="line-height: 1.5;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;">These and many other statistics for the site are simply mind-blowing and really put into perspective how important the site is for both those of you browsing and for creators. Often when you start watching one video you can find yourself several hours later, having watched a whole host of others, because of the almost addictive quality of YouTube. </font></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;">
<span face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif" style="line-height: 1.5;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;"><br /></font></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;">
<span face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif" style="line-height: 1.5;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;">As much as I love the site though, to help save you time, I have compiled a list of 5 YouTube accounts that will inspire you to travel. While YouTube is filled with awe-inspiring visual content, I'm sure these accounts will definitely give you some ideas of where to head to next!</font></span></div>

<font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-b9e00d7a-7fff-756a-cd74-ff85e19fce23" style="line-height: 1.5;"><span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 1.5; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Italy is a destination synonymous with beautiful architecture, rich cultural heritage and gorgeous landscapes. It is also, of course, globally famous for its delicious cuisine which is by far one of the most well recognised and popular in the world. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 1.5; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 1.5; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">For many though, pizza and pasta are the dishes that they most equate with Italian food, as well as ice-cream, coffee and wine. While these are all undoubtedly popular across Italy, there are so many more gastronomic delights for you to discover when you visit!</span></font></div><div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;"><span style="line-height: 1.5; white-space: pre-wrap;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;"><br /></font></span></div><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;"><div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;">Italy has a very strong tradition of regionally specific dishes, so up until now if you have only equated Italian food with pizza and pasta, you will be astonished by the variety that truly exists across this incredible country.</div></font></div><div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 1.5; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 1.5; white-space: pre-wrap;">What you will also notice is that there are so many more varieties of pizza or pasta than you will likely have tried, especially if you have only ever eaten these in the generic Italian restaurants that exist in the UK or other European countries.</span></font><br />

<div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;">
<font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;"><span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 1.5; white-space: pre-wrap;">One of the most characteristic traits of cuisine in Italy is how much care, attention and love goes into it, whether that is in restaurants, the home or the hotels or resorts you may stay at. For Italians food is so much more than just fuel to keep them going, it is completely embedded in their culture and way of life. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 1.5; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 1.5; white-space: pre-wrap;">Some of the food and drink that people in other countries eat such as baked beans on toast, instant coffee or microwave-ready meals, would quite frankly disgust many Italians. When you try the food in Italy you will see why!</span></font></div><div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;"><span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 1.5; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></font></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-3c49846d-7fff-6712-a8a9-18e1afd635a5" style="line-height: 1.5;"><span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 1.5; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Food is seen as a way of bringing friends and family together to mutually appreciate something that has taken time and skill to cook. Italians prefer locally sourced ingredients, often from the vibrant food markets that exist in almost every village or town. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 1.5; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 1.5; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">One of the most important aspects for Italians is that the ingredients are fresh such as fruit picked straight from the tree, the same day as they are added to a meal! This is one of the most important reasons why Italian cuisine is considered some of the healthiest in the world.</span></font><br />
<span style="font-family: arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/simonturkas/15790509426/in/album-72157648859498767/" title="Oranges and Limes Combined"><img alt="Oranges and Limes Combined" height="427" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/7567/15790509426_e8f97a93b8_z.jpg" width="640" /></a>
<span style="font-family: arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;"><span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 1.5; white-space: pre-wrap;">Italy is a relatively small country but between the 20 different regions that it is made up from, there are very distinct characteristics. One of the factors that make Italian food so fascinating is that the same dishes are often made in vastly different ways. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 1.5; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 1.5; white-space: pre-wrap;">This is the case even down to the level of individual villages and towns where there are proud specialities, with their inhabitants working hard to maintain these important traditions. People’s identities are defined in Italy as much by their cooking as by their dialects and traditional costumes.</span></font></div><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;"><br /></font></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;">
<font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;"><span face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif" style="line-height: 1.5;">Because of this, a trip across Italy is a dream come true if you are sick of bland, uninspiring food in your own country. In every part of Italy, whether that is a small village or a bustling city like the capital Rome, you will find a huge range of delicious food delicacies to make your mouth water and taste buds come alive. </span><br />
<span face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif" style="line-height: 1.5;"><br /></span>
<span face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif" style="line-height: 1.5;">The variations in Italian cuisine have been shaped by climatic, geographical and historical differences: there are some hilly regions by the sea, others are mountainous and landlocked; some regions have been influenced by French or Austrian cuisine, others have taken on traditions from Arab or Greek cooking; some parts of Italy have a year-round, warm, sunny Mediterranean climate, others face cold, snowy winters. All of these factors have helped to shape the rich and varied food traditions that exist in modern Italy.</span></font></div>
</div>
<font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;"><br />
</font><div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;">
<font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;"><span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 1.5; white-space: pre-wrap;">If you have ever had the pleasure of enjoying a meal with an Italian family or group of friends you will see how much they are both enjoying the food and each other’s company.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 1.5; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 1.5; white-space: pre-wrap;">Food is something that people in Italy are very passionate about and this can be seen in how much care they put into creating delicious meals. Italian children often help their parents in the kitchen when they are younger, so a love of cooking is passed down through the generations. </span></font></div><div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;"><span style="line-height: 1.5; white-space: pre-wrap;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;"><br /></font></span></div><div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;"><span style="line-height: 1.5; white-space: pre-wrap;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;">Generally, if you eat in an Italian restaurant in Italy whether in a tiny village, or a big city, you can be assured that the chefs are skilled, the ingredients fresh and the food will be delicious. </font></span></div></div><div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 1.5; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 1.5; white-space: pre-wrap;">This is why Italy is the perfect destination for a gastronomic journey in search of ancient recipes, simple food inspired by classic Italian cooking, genuine products and innovative creations.</span> </font></div>
</div>
<font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;"><br />
</font><div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;">
<font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;"><span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 1.5; white-space: pre-wrap;">As well as pizza and pasta, the universal symbols of Italian cuisine, you will find a whole host of other world-renowned products that make Italy the land of good food. These include Modena balsamic vinegar, Genoa's pesto, buffalo mozzarella from Campania, Alba truffles, Parmigiano Reggiano (Parmesan) cheese and Parma and San Daniele ham, and cured meats.</span> </font></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;">
<font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;"><br /></font></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;">
<span id="docs-internal-guid-c1317530-7fff-41dc-f31e-6107df5cc740" style="line-height: 1.5;"><span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 1.5; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;">Of course, you cannot neglect Italian wines which are also some of the best in the world. Because of the Italian tradition of producing wines of extraordinary quality, the Ancient Greeks used to call Italy “Enotria.” This tradition lives on with Italian wines sought all over the world. As with Italian food though, tasting Italian wine in the region or even winery where it was produced makes the taste that much more special. </font></span></span></div>

<font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;"><span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 1.5; white-space: pre-wrap;">So if you have a love for good quality food and drink and are looking for a place that will tempt your eyes, palate and heart, then you have to head to Italy, the perfect destination for foodies! </span> </font></div>

They plan them months or even a year or more in advance, then dream about them and anticipate their getaway as the time gets nearer and nearer. This is totally understandable, as unfortunately many people are not always doing the job that they love, or even worse, they downright hate their work.</font></span></span></div>

The very best jobs can become stressful from time to time, so getting away is a chance to reset, free your mind from worry and also de-stress.</span><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 1.5; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br />

<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 1.5; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div style="font-family: arial; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></div><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;">The problem is, holidays sometimes fail to live up to expectations. The trip flies by and before you know it you are back at your office desk trying to recall what you even got up to! This is because too often people waste their week or so abroad, lounging by the hotel pool topping up their tan and reading a book, eating at the hotel almost every meal, sitting in boring bars or even worse, glued to their mobile scrolling through Facebook or watching Netflix.</font></span></div>

On the other hand, wherever you have decided to travel to, there is undoubtedly so much more to see and experience outside of your room. So to save you from an unmemorable trip, here are some tips on how to easily get the best out of your next holiday:</font></span></span></div>

<span id="docs-internal-guid-2dba961a-7fff-ee1c-87e5-fa4f036c2ac2"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 15pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b>Find Out Which Local Excursions or Activities You Can Do</b></span></span></h2>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;">Holidays are great for relaxing and escaping from the stress of work and everyday life, but you probably want to have experiences to look back on that made the holiday stand out. If not you run the risk of wondering why you spent all that money heading abroad, when you could have just gone to your local spa or spent a week relaxing at home. </font></div><div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;"><br /></font></div></div><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;">It always feels good to have a bit of a tan after your holiday and get some much-needed vitamin D from the sun (especially if you are on a winter getaway from freezing Northern Europe), but spending all day everyday roasting in the sun on the beach or by the pool is unhealthy and a guaranteed way to make your skin age quicker, plus of course once you get home the tan will quickly fade.</font></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; white-space: pre-wrap;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;">Instead, why not go for a mixture of relaxation by the pool, at the beach or at the hotel spa, combined with other days spent trying out local excursions or activities. These can either be adrenaline-fuelled such as paragliding or parasailing, energetic like sea kayaking or hiking through beautiful scenery, or even a sedate but interesting guided tour such as a wine tasting tour, a visit to a location of interest like an amazing historical building, or a sailing trip out on the ocean waves to see the amazing wildlife! </font></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/95Pq8g8ZdPo" width="560"></iframe></div></span>

<span style="font-family: arial; white-space: pre-wrap;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;">If you decide to stay at a hotel or resort, these will often work with different excursion companies so they can recommend which ones to take and even book them for you. Alternatively, if you decide to find your accommodation through a site like <a href="https://www.airbnb.co.uk/c/simont2338?currency=GBP" style="line-height: 1.5;" target="_blank">Airbnb</a>, you can browse from a huge number of different experiences, or make use of one of <a href="https://www.airbnb.co.uk/c/simont2338?currency=GBP" style="line-height: 1.5;" target="_blank">Airbnb</a>'s latest features: Airbnb Adventures! Added to this it is very easy to research online these days through sites such as <a href="https://www.tripadvisor.com/Profile/SimonTurkas" style="line-height: 1.5;" target="_blank">TripAdvisor</a> which are the best local activities to try so there really is no excuse not to try something different on your next holiday. </font></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 15pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><font face="trebuchet" size="4"><br /></font></span>

The reception staff where you are staying or owner of the <a href="https://www.airbnb.co.uk/c/simont2338?currency=GBP" style="line-height: 1.5;" target="_blank">accommodation you have booked</a> will more than likely be able to point you to some of the best places to go, including hidden gems that aren’t necessarily on the typical tourist trail.</font></span></div><div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;"><span style="line-height: 1.5; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 1.5; white-space: pre-wrap;">If you are a bit nervous about driving abroad, most countries across Europe have excellent public transport, especially local bus services. You will be able to reach many of the top attractions by taking the bus which will also be a lot cheaper than renting a car, a little less stressful and of course, <a href="http://www.whatssimonsaying.com/2019/11/5-top-tips-to-help-you-travel-more.html" style="line-height: 1.5;" target="_blank">much more sustainable</a>. </span></font></div>

<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 1.5; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Even just by walking out of the place you are staying, you will often be able to discover some amazing things, many of which are not advertised. It can often be just by going off on an unplanned walk that you find the most interesting sights which turn out to be the most memorable parts of a holiday such as a hidden beach cove, an amazing local restaurant down a small side street or wonderful shop selling incredible hand-made items. The main thing is, go exploring because you never know what you might find! </span></font><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span></span>

<font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;"><span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 1.5; white-space: pre-wrap;">With many hotels and resorts offering such great quality at their own restaurants, it’s understandable why many people choose to eat the majority of their meals on-site. Alternatively, many </span><a href="https://www.airbnb.co.uk/c/simont2338?currency=GBP" style="line-height: 1.5; white-space: pre-wrap;" target="_blank">self-catering accommodation options</a><span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 1.5; white-space: pre-wrap;"> offer fantastic cooking facilities within the apartments, so you can also prepare a fully home-cooked meal within your apartment, like your own home away from home.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 1.5; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
</font><span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 1.5; white-space: pre-wrap;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;">While it is great to do this some of the time while you are away, it’s also great to try out some of the local restaurants serving local food and drink. Cuisine forms a massive part of local culture, so to really connect with the country you are staying in you should definitely sample some of the traditional delicacies.</font><font size="4" style="font-family: arial;"> </font></span><div style="line-height: 1.5;"><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 1.5; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div dir="ltr" style="font-family: arial; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: arial; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></div><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;">It may seem strange, but it is so common to see in many holiday destinations, that different nationalities stick to their own cuisine. So even for example if British people do go outside of their resort to eat, many of them end up in a British owned bar or restaurant and eat what they would normally eat back at home. </font></span><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;"><br />
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 1.5; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 1.5; white-space: pre-wrap;">This isn’t exclusive to the British either with Germans, French and many other nationalities doing the same thing. While change can be a scary thing, I definitely advise trying some of the delicious local cuisines you will find in other countries. You never know, you may discover your new favourite dish on your next holiday. </span></font><br />
<span style="font-family: arial; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Learn Some of the Local Language </span></b></span><br />
<br />
<font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;"><span face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif" style="line-height: 1.5;">Another simple change that can really enhance your holiday experience is by learning even just a little bit of the local language. I'm not saying you need to become an expert in another language before you can enjoy being abroad, but at least try to learn words such as hello, goodbye, please, thank you, the names of some of the food and drink and other basics. </span><br />
<span face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif" style="line-height: 1.5;"><br /></span>
<span face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif" style="line-height: 1.5;">This really goes a long way with helping to connect with the local people that you come into contact with while on holidays such as shop assistants, reception staff, and waiters and waitresses. A lot of the time, especially in highly touristic destinations, many people will speak multiple languages such as English, German and French as well as their own language, but being able to say a couple of the basic words will often please them by showing you’re not just like every other tourist. </span><br />
<span face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif" style="line-height: 1.5;"><br /></span>
<span face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif" style="line-height: 1.5;">Many people when they go abroad, especially those who speak major global languages such as English, assume they go up to almost anyone and just start speaking in say English and everyone should be able to understand them. This is both fairly ignorant and rude and makes you stick out much more as a tourist. </span><br />
<span face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif" style="line-height: 1.5;"><br /></span>
<span face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif" style="line-height: 1.5;">Because of this, your connection with locals will be on a much more superficial level and they, in turn, may treat you in a less friendly manner. It is great to show you have at least tried to learn a few words as it displays more respect which will likely make local people you interact with feel more receptive towards you. It’s a win-win situation. </span></font><br />
<span face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><br /></span>
<span face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><b>Be Prepared But Don’t Over Plan </b></span><br />
<span face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><br /></span>
<span face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif" style="line-height: 1.5;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;">It’s great to be prepared when you travel such as alerting your bank before you go abroad, so they don’t think there is suspicious activity on your card if you use it, making sure your mobile is fully charged before you go out each day, bringing plug adaptors so you can plug in your electronics, taking a local guide book or downloading one on your phone and other similar things. These are all so your holiday goes smoothly and helps cut down on stress.</font></span></div>
<font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;"><br />
<span face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif" style="line-height: 1.5;">On the other hand, if you try and plan every last detail and what you will be doing every hour of every day you are on your trip, this is likely to make the trip both boring and stressful. This can also cause strain between couples, families or friends if one person wants to plan every detail and the other would prefer to go with the flow.</span></font></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5;">
<span face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif" style="line-height: 1.5;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;"><br /></font></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5;">
<span face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif" style="line-height: 1.5;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;">While everyone has a different personality, I would definitely recommend being more relaxed and seeing what comes your way on your holiday. Don’t treat it like another work week where everything has to be scheduled.

<font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;"><span face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif" style="line-height: 1.5;">Of course, this doesn’t mean you have to trek off into the jungle with just your backpack, but it does mean not stressing if one day you planned to go and see a certain local attraction but then changing your mind last minute because something better came up. Be flexible and remember that life very rarely goes exactly to plan, so why bother trying to over plan every minute detail of your trip?</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;">For a growing segment of the global population, being able to experience new places and see different parts of the world is becoming one of the most popular pastimes. For several decades the travel and tourism industry has experienced rapid growth across the world, and this trend is predicted to continue increasing as greater numbers of people in different countries are becoming more financially able to explore. A strong example of this has been the upwardly mobile Chinese middle class and this is likely to be replicated in other growing middle-class segments of the world population such as in India and the Middle East.</font></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;">There are a number of different possible benefits brought about by this trend, such as an increasing sense of interconnection between different nationalities and groups of people, that in turn has led to higher levels of trust and peace. As well as this, travel and tourism now amounts to a significant proportion of global employment and is can create greater prosperity and wealth, especially in newer destinations which are gaining in popularity.</font></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;">As with everything, of course, there are also significant downsides to the rapidly growing numbers of people exploring the world. One of the most serious of these issues is the importance of sustainability. Reports recently released by major global organisations such as the UN show that the world is facing an unprecedented threat from global warming and other forms of environmental destruction being caused by human activity, such as the deaths of coral reefs, vast islands of plastic floating in the oceans, large scale loss of animal habitats like rain forests, worsening air pollution and much more.</font></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;"><br /></font></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;">On one hand, this certainly does sound rather negative. It is undeniable that human activity is having a lasting and significant negative impact on the planet, including for the plants and animals that we share it with. On the other, there are a number of different steps that we can all take to lessen the environmental effects that we create, such as when we decide to go travelling. Here are 5 top tips for more sustainable travel:</font></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<font face="verdana" size="5"><b>1. Cut out plastic as much as possible</b></font><br />
<div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5;"><br /></span></font></div><font face="verdana"><div style="text-align: justify;">Plastic is definitely one of the biggest human-caused problems that our planet has faced, in almost the entire period of human history and in recent decades has accelerated rapidly. There are a growing number of environmental experts and scientists who predict devastating consequences for wildlife and the natural world if we don't make significant changes and cut back drastically on our reliance on plastic, especially the single-use type. For example, a recent study has predicted that if things don't change, <a href="https://www.blogger.com/#" target="_blank">by 2050 there will be more plastic in the oceans than fish</a>! </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">So what can you do when you travel? Aim to refuse single-use plastic items as much as possible and avoid using them. For example, make sure to refuse single-use plastic straws when you go to a bar, cafe or restaurant. It is estimated that <a href="https://www.blogger.com/#" target="_blank">in America alone over 500 million plastic straws are used everyday</a>, with most of these ending up in our oceans, killing wildlife such as seabirds and fish, as well as breaking down into microplastics and ending up in sea-salt, tap water and other things that people consume. For most able-bodied people plastic straws are totally unnecessary to use, so this is one of the easiest items of plastic to cut out. </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><font face="verdana">Try to also discover places to eat and drink that have made strong efforts to cut out single-use plastic, or have switched to plastics that are 100% biodegradable. An example of this is <a href="https://www.blogger.com/#" target="_blank">Burger Mel</a>, a vegan fast-food chain that was created in Tenerife in the Canary Islands, that has also recently expanded to mainland Spain.</font>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5;"><font face="verdana">Another great way to cut back on plastic is to purchase a refillable water bottle (often made from aluminium), such as those from the fantastic <a href="https://aguita.eu/" style="line-height: 1.5;" target="_blank">Aguita</a> which you can purchase directly from their <a href="https://aguita.eu/" style="line-height: 1.5;" target="_blank">website</a>. These are stylish, reasonably priced, lightweight, and of course so much better for the environment than buying plastic water bottles each time you are out and about, that are usually thrown away after one use, than often ending up in landfills or the ocean.</font></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;">Other steps you can take include taking your own bags such as a backpack and canvas bags when you are out and about shopping which means you can avoid single-use plastic bags, that are also terrible for the environment. It begins to get easier and easier to cut out single-use plastic from your vacations as much as possible, once you start noticing these things. As increasing numbers of people start to do this, brands become influenced as they begin to take notice of the way in which consumer sentiment is heading and the profitability of plastic gradually plummets!</font></span></div>
<br /><font face="verdana" size="5"><b>2. Aim to use more sustainable travel methods</b></font><br />
<span style="background-color: #fdfbf8; font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;"><br /><div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: transparent; line-height: 1.5; text-align: left;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;">At present, planes are unfortunately one of the worst forms of transport in terms of their sustainability and amount of greenhouse gas emissions emitted, as well as the large quantities of waste created during flights, such as single-use plastic items. If you are trying to reach certain destinations on your next trip, like the Canary Islands from the UK, it is almost inevitable that you will need to use planes, but you can still aim to reduce the damage from your flights as much as possible.</font></span></div></span><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;">
</font><div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: #fdfbf8; line-height: 1.5;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;"><br /></font></span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5;"><span style="background-color: #fdfbf8; line-height: 1.5;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;">There are <a href="https://thepointsguy.com/guide/a-guide-to-airline-carbon-offset-programs/" style="line-height: 1.5;" target="_blank">many airlines that offer Carbon Offset Programs</a> which are voluntary payments that passengers can choose to make, separate from the booking process. When you pay towards these initiatives, the airline will send this money towards environmental protection programs which will help to offset the damage done by your flight, thus voluntarily helping to mitigate some of the pollution caused by the flight you're on. </font></span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: #fdfbf8; line-height: 1.5;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;"><br /></font></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;">As well as this, if you're trying to decide which airline to fly with based on which is less harmful to the environment, there are some that are more forward-thinking than others. A good example of this KLM which is one of the most forward-thinking flight operators, that is taking pioneering steps to become more environmentally sustainable. They are planning a Fleet Renewal with planes that use less fuel, better engine cleaning, smart aircraft deployment, are aiding research into aircraft of the future, that could be 50% more efficient and quieter, with the aim of these being in use by 2025, and are pushing towards the use of bio-fuels which would create 80% less CO2 emissions.</font></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><font face="verdana">Recently history was made by Portuguese airline Hi Fly when they became the <a href="https://www.fastcompany.com/90286801/airline-hi-fly-makes-first-single-use-plastic-free-flight" target="_blank">first airline to complete a passenger flight without any single-use plastics</a>! This is a huge step towards flights becoming more sustainable and the fight against single-use plastics, that in turn helps to make leisure travel a more sustainable activity. Of course, there is still a long way to go, but by deciding to support these more forward-thinking airlines when you fly, you will encourage other brands to follow their example by showing that sustainability is good for business. </font></span><br />

They are much less damaging to the environment and are certainly possible to use if, for example, you are travelling between countries in Europe, including from the UK to other European destinations with the Eurostar.</font></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5;"><font face="verdana">Once you have arrived at your destination and are ready to explore, rather than hiring a car or using taxis to get around, why not use public transport such as the local bus service, trains, trams and coaches. Public transport is far more environmentally sustainable and often more economical, especially if you are able to get a pass that lasts your whole trip. </font></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5;"><font face="verdana">If you want to explore a city that you are in staying in you can also walk or hire a bike. This will allow you discover the local area at your own pace, thus observing things you could easily miss if you were in a vehicle, as well as cutting out on pollution, and of course, giving you some exercise in the process. </font></span></div>

Of if you are buying your groceries, why not choose a small local shop or the market, instead of a huge supermarket chain such as Carrefour. While certainly not always the case, local markets, bars, cafes, restaurants and shops are generally significantly more sustainable for both the environment and more beneficial for the local economy. When you choose to shop locally you are supporting local business owners, who often sell local products and pay their taxes locally. </font></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5; text-align: left;"><font face="verdana">A big step that you can take towards more sustainable travel is by choosing to stay in accommodation in which the brand or owners are committed to sustainability. If you want to stay in a hotel or resort then this is especially important, as these have traditionally produced a lot of waste in terms of greenhouse gas emissions, food, plastic, other rubbish and more, due to the sheer number of guests that stay, especially in larger hotels or resorts.</font></span></div>

If sustainable travel is important to you though (which hopefully it is), you should actively seek out brands that are committed to improving their accommodation to become more sustainable, the mindset of the teams working there and their operational practises as a whole. </font></span></span></div>

I definitely relate to this dilemma and know how hard it can be to avoid popping into every delicious restaurant or cafe in sight!</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5;"><font face="verdana"><br /></font></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5;"><font face="verdana"><span style="line-height: 1.5; white-space: pre-wrap;">When you’re at home it’s different because you know you’ll always get another chance, but on holiday it’s hard to miss out on all enticing places to eat because you never know when you’ll next be back. </span><span style="line-height: 1.5; white-space: pre-wrap;">What I suggest is a compromise: eating out for some of your meals, choose breakfast, lunch or dinner out, each day of your holiday, but then all the other meals cook at the </span><span style="line-height: 1.5; white-space: pre-wrap;">accommodation</span><span style="line-height: 1.5; white-space: pre-wrap;"> you are staying at. Ultimately the goal here is to be able to save you money so you can enjoy even more amazing holidays! </span></font></span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;"><span style="line-height: 1.5; white-space: pre-wrap;"><font face="verdana">Here are 6 simple tips to save you money and time on travel meals:</font></span></div><div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;"><span style="line-height: 1.5; white-space: pre-wrap;"><font face="verdana"><br /></font></span></div><font face="verdana" size="5"><b>1. Stay somewhere that offers self-catering kitchens</b></font></div><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;"> <div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">This may seem obvious, but the first step is choosing accommodation that offers a self-catering option. This means you will have a kitchen where you will be able to cook your own food, rather than having to go out and spend a lot on extra eating out. Otherwise, the most you can expect from many standards hotels is a kettle and maybe a mini-fridge. </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Luckily many of the options listed on different holiday accommodation booking <a href="https://www.blogger.com/#" style="line-height: 1.5;" target="_blank">websites such as Airbnb </a>have kitchens, so be sure to take a look at all the different amazing options listed around the world. It might not be the same as the kitchen you are used to back home, but it will be sure to have all the equipment you need to rustle up some great meals. In <a href="https://www.blogger.com/#" style="line-height: 1.5;" target="_blank">many of the places that you can find to stay</a> there will also be wonderful balconies or relaxing terraces where you can enjoy your culinary creation!</div></font><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">

<font face="verdana" size="5"><b>2. Try to plan what you’re going to eat before food shopping</b></font>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5;"><font face="verdana">This tactic also goes for when you are food shopping back at home but applies even more so on holiday. The best way to avoid impulse buys and things you don’t really need, like that tempting bar of chocolate or tasty looking pack of cookies, is to plan what you are going to eat for the next couple of days or even your whole trip. This is especially true when you are on holiday as you will probably come across a variety of interesting products in different languages.</font></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5;"><font face="verdana"><br /></font></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5;"><font face="verdana">If you don’t have a plan, before you know it you’ll be walking out the shop with bags of goodies and nothing to make a proper meal. So before heading out food shopping, have a list of what to buy for your breakfasts, lunches and dinners, and whatever you do, don’t go shopping when you’re hungry! This will save you money on not buying unnecessary items and time on not wandering aimlessly around the shop. </font></span></div><div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5;"><font face="verdana"><br /></font></span></div>
<b><font face="verdana" size="5">3. Don’t forget the basics</font></b></div><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br />
<div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5;"><font face="verdana">There are basic items that are essential if you want to be able to cook delicious meals when you are at your holiday destination. These include salt, pepper and olive oil and should preferably be purchased on your first food shop after arrival. Often you will you be able to find a smaller, local independent food store close to the accommodation you are staying at, especially if you are staying in an urban area. Here you can find many of the food items you need for either the same or often less than bigger supermarkets.</font></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5;"><font face="verdana"><br /></font></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5; white-space: pre-wrap;"><font face="verdana">You will be able to support a local business, plus avoid many of the temptations that you would find in a larger supermarket which have many deals and offers designed to make you spend as much as possible, often on things you weren't even shopping for.</font></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span id="docs-internal-guid-ecb59647-7fff-357c-a4e3-a43e26d7acda"><span style="font-family: arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>4. Buy locally produced items </b></span></span></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span><span style="font-family: arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><font face="verdana">While this is certainly not always the case, very often the food products that are produced within the country you are staying will be cheaper than buying foreign imports. This, of course, is because there have not been importing costs added onto the final price. So while it can be tempting to buy products that you used to back home such as baked beans for British travellers, you will often find that these are at a premium cost as opposed to what you would normally pay. </font></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><font face="verdana">Instead, it is much more cost-effective to stick to products that the locals eat themselves. These will not be seen as novelty items by the food shop or supermarket, so the costs will be much cheaper.</font></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5;"><font face="verdana">As you are on holiday, you don’t want to be spending all your time cooking, of course, so plan to make simple and tasty meals. This will keep the costs down and the time you need to spend in the kitchen. </font></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5;"><font face="verdana"><br /></font></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5;"><font face="verdana">In the mornings' cereal or toast is a great option, as these are filling, cheap and easy to find and prepare. For lunches, you could prepare sandwiches or baguettes which also have the added benefit that you can wrap these up and take with you to eat while you exploring the local area, or lounging at the beach. Add to this some items of fruit, a bag of nuts and a bottle of water and you have an easy, healthy lunch. </font></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5;"><font face="verdana"><br /></font></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5;"><font face="verdana">For dinner, you could cook a delicious pasta dish with a salad to share, or other meals that are quick and yummy like rice and vegetables. All of these take minimal time to prepare, can be relatively tasty, will fill you up and save you money.</font></span></div>

<div style="line-height: 1.5;">
<div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;"><span style="line-height: 1.5;"><font face="verdana">Ideally, in the self-catering accommodation that you are staying in, there will be Tupperware where you can store any food you don’t finish to eat the next day. If not you can always head out to buy something to wrap over the dishes to keep things fresh in the fridge such as salads. Alternatively, you could bring your own containers with you on your holiday for some extra forward planning.</font></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;">

<div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5;"><font face="verdana">Food waste is a massive problem across most developed countries in the world, so by cutting this out on your holiday this is good for both your holiday budget and the environment. It will also mean again that you can save time as well. If there is something you didn’t finish for dinner the night before such as pasta or rice, you could eat this the next day for lunch. If it’s in a Tupperware container you can take it out with you for a picnic on the beach. </font></span></div>

<br /><div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;">These are certainly very valid reasons, with the world-famous Costa del Sol region which literally translates to “Coast of the Sun” or “Sun Coast”, located along the south of the Málaga province. With as many as 320 days of sunshine per year, an abundance of beautiful sandy beaches, picturesque coastal towns and villages, and a fantastic selection of resorts and hotels, this world-famous region is the perfect place to get away and soak up some warming rays, whichever month you choose to go. </font></div>

In fact, it will probably surprise many to hear that the province of </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222324; line-height: 1.5; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Málaga is so much more than a place to go for a week or two spent lounging by the pool or at the beach.</span></font></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222324; line-height: 1.5; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;"><br /></font></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222324; line-height: 1.5; white-space: pre-wrap;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;">One such example of this is the city of Málaga which should definitely be on any travel itinerary if you are staying in this area. It is also a brilliant place to stay for a few nights or more if you wanted to add on a city break to a stay elsewhere along the Costa del Sol.<span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 14.6667px; line-height: 1.5;"> </span></font></span></div>

<span id="docs-internal-guid-cf6a4f26-7fff-44dc-8084-fbce3356f910"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222324; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;">Málaga has an incredible history spanning about 2,800 years, meaning it is one of the oldest cities in the world! As you wander around the city’s historical centre you may quite literally feel like you are exploring a giant open museum, as you will notice archaeological remains and architectural monuments from the Phoenician, Roman, Arabic and Christian eras of the city’s past.</font></span></span></div>

This is a feeling you will generally only find in a large city which it certainly is, being the second most populous of Andalusia, the sixth-largest of Spain with a population of around 570,000 and the southernmost largest city in Europe.</font></span></span><br />

Instead, it offers the perfect combination of plenty of life and things to do, contrasted with the more laid-back vibe that you will have come to expect in southern Spain.</span><span style="color: black; line-height: 1.5; white-space: normal;"> </span></font></div>

Generally, you will find the local population very friendly and helpful in shops, restaurants, bars, cafes, hotels and the various things to do such as museums.</font></span></span></div>

The weather lends itself perfectly to this, as you can sit outside soaking up the sun's rays while enjoying a </span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.5; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">café con leche</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222324; line-height: 1.5; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> (white coffee), </span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.5; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">caña</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #6a6a6a; font-weight: 700; line-height: 1.5; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222324; line-height: 1.5; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">(small beer) or copa de vino (glass of wine) with some tapas.</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222324; line-height: 1.5; white-space: pre-wrap;">While Spain was one of the countries especially hit hardest by the economic crash of a decade ago, the country is really starting to find its feet again, with a real resurgence in fortunes, driven to a large extent by the huge popularity of tourism. </span></font></div>

<font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222324; line-height: 1.5; white-space: pre-wrap;">You will easily notice this in Málaga city, with new construction and reconstruction happening, clean and well-maintained buildings, streets and plazas and a selection of new shops, cafes and restaurants that seem to have sprung up in the previous couple of years. Overall there appears to be a real sense of optimism and good fortune in the city which translates to generally excellent service for visitors and happy locals!</span> </font></div>

<font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222324; line-height: 1.5; white-space: pre-wrap;">Overall, Málaga is a fantastic city to visit with some fascinating historical buildings and architecture such as the cathedral, the Alcazaba, a Moorish palatial fortification built in the early 11th century which is the best preserved in Spain, and the adjacent remnants of a Roman theatre dating back to the 1st century BC.</span> </font></div>

In Málaga, you will be able to find a number of places to watch live Flamenco shows which you should definitely experience if you are there, as it is brimming with energy, emotion and skill. </font></span></span></div>

<div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;">
<span id="docs-internal-guid-bb563741-7fff-79d2-2299-e99e81fc553e" style="line-height: 1.5;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;"><span style="line-height: 1.5; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">To say that the winter in Europe can be grim and even downright miserable at times is certainly no exaggeration. With the cold, grey and short days, it can seem as if the sun barely shines at times which is actually not far from the truth. In fact, in Russia, its capital city of </span><span style="color: black; line-height: 1.5; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/17/world/europe/moscow-darkness-sunlight.html?src=rec&recp=17" style="line-height: 1.5;" target="_blank">Moscow only saw 6 minutes of sunlight through the whole of December</a> 2017</span><span style="line-height: 1.5; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">! Granted this was the worst since records began, but even in an average December, there are only around 18 hours sunlight.</span></font></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 1.5; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;"><br /></font></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;">
<span id="docs-internal-guid-eaaa22c5-7fff-3c51-d499-1e9c1cff5142" style="line-height: 1.5;"><span style="line-height: 1.5; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;">Following the Christmas and New Year period, the winter months can seem particularly depressing. At least in December, there are presents, lots of delicious food and time off with family to look forward to and enjoy. There is definitely the temptation to hibernate during the dull months of January, February and even March. Instead of this, to give you that much-needed energy and mood boost, a winter getaway offers a fantastic solution!</font></span></span></div>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><b><font face="verdana" size="5">The Canary Islands are the Perfect Winter Holiday Destination</font></b></span></p>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 1.5; white-space: pre-wrap;"><font face="verdana">There are few more effective options to help you to feel significantly happier than by taking a holiday to escape the winter blues. One issue for Europeans in need of a break from miserable weather conditions though, is that much of Europe will not be the answer for you. For those that enjoy snowy landscapes and winter sports such as skiing or snowboarding you are spoilt for choice, but if you are seeking somewhere with warm sunny weather, your options are far more limited.</font></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 1.5; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><font face="verdana"><br /></font></span></div>

Thankfully, there is a perfect alternative that will neither end up breaking your budget nor require distant travel: the gorgeous sunny Spanish archipelago of the </span><span style="color: black; line-height: 1.5; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Canary Islands</span><span style="line-height: 1.5; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">.</span></font></span></div>

It is so good that the climate has often been described as ‘</span><a href="http://www.thebestclimateintheworld.com/" style="line-height: 1.5;" target="_blank"><span style="color: black; line-height: 1.5; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The Best Climate in the World</span></a><span style="line-height: 1.5; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">’ which is definitely not an exaggeration! Life on the islands feels like an eternal spring as the average yearly temperature is at an extremely pleasant 22ºC. </span></font></span></div>

<span style="line-height: 1.5; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;">On practically any day of the year you can stroll around comfortably in shorts or t-shirt; no wonder the local inhabitants have such a relaxed and happy disposition. In the summer it rarely gets too hot and most crucially for a European destination, temperatures remain unseasonably warm during the winter months.</font></span></div>

This is a destination with so much more to offer than many people expect, even if you have already been before. </font></span></div>

Of course, if you are in need of some much-needed rest and relaxation, then some time at the beach or by the pool is no doubt a great option, but I definitely recommend combining this with some of the superb experiences you can have in the Canary Islands.</font></span></span></div>

At the height of winter, you can even find people sunbathing on the beach and swimming in the beautiful ocean, while other parts of Europe are shivering from the cold.</span> </font></div>

<font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;"><span style="line-height: 1.5; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Italy is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful, enchanting and magical destinations in not only Europe but the entire world. It is no wonder therefore that it has consistently ranked in the top ten most visited countries, </span><span style="line-height: 1.5; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">including last year when it ranked at number 5 in terms of international tourist arrivals (</span><a href="https://www.e-unwto.org/doi/pdf/10.18111/9789284421152" style="line-height: 1.5;" target="_blank"><span style="color: #1155cc; line-height: 1.5; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">World Tourism Organization</span></a><span style="line-height: 1.5; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">).</span> </font></div>

<span id="docs-internal-guid-5daaf420-7fff-1987-d384-71f82c2789ab" style="line-height: 1.5;"><span style="line-height: 1.5; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;">Italy is regularly noted by travellers, writers, photographers, foodies, directors and people from almost every other walk of life as one of their favourite countries, and one you have to visit at least once in your life. Unlike some other popular places that have one or two strong selling points, but little in terms of well-rounded appeal, Italy is one of those rare destinations that truly excels in so many different areas. This is one of the enduring reasons why it is so well-loved by such a huge variety of people; it really has something for everyone! </font></span></span></div>

<span style="line-height: 1.5; white-space: pre-wrap;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;">Italians themselves are generally considered some of the most friendly and welcoming people in the world, with a real zest and passion for life. This is reflected in their music, movies, cuisine, architecture and linguistic flair. </font></span></div>

<font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;"><span style="line-height: 1.5; white-space: pre-wrap;">While French is often described as the language of love, Italian is certainly not far off in terms of its romance. It is a language that has enchanted countless international visitors, many of whom have a sudden urge to try and learn how to understand and speak it themselves. The sound of Italian has often been described as similar to singing, and by most measures, it is the language most closely connected to Latin, the language of the Roman Empire.</span> </font></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div>

<span style="line-height: 1.5; white-space: pre-wrap;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;">The Roman Empire was, without doubt, one of the greatest and most important periods of human history with a great many innovations, some of which still have an influence on today’s world. The Roman Empire originated and grew from the city of Rome which later became Italy’s incredible capital city, following the founding of the modern-day country in 1861. </font></span></div>

<div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 1.5; white-space: pre-wrap;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;">While Rome has, of course, developed and changed in many respects in the centuries since the Roman empire, there are so many historical landmarks and buildings still standing there today, that exploring the city can feel like wandering around the world’s biggest, most fascinating museum!</font></span> </div>

<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;">This is not to say that Italy’s breathtaking historical architecture and incredible landmarks are consigned to the capital city, you can find these delights all over the country. This is one of the many factors that make Italy such a great place to explore, especially if you enjoy taking photos, making videos or learning about Italy’s fascinating past which ultimately shaped much of Europe, during the time of the Roman Empire.</font></span><br /></div>

<div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 1.5; white-space: pre-wrap;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;">It is no wonder that Italian food and drink staples such as pizza, pasta, cappuccino and wine are some of the most globally popular. What you will realise when you visit Italy for the first time though, is that the Italian food you may have been consuming outside of Italy is not a patch on what you will find inside the country (especially if you are used to some of the well-known chain-brands).</font></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 1.5; white-space: pre-wrap;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;"><br /></font></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;">
<font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;"><span style="line-height: 1.5; white-space: pre-wrap;">What you will quickly realise and hopefully come to appreciate and embrace, is that food and drink in Italy is not just something to fill you up like fuel which seems to be the case in many other countries such as the UK, but instead a truly fundamental and important part of day to day life.</span><br />
<span style="line-height: 1.5; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
<span style="line-height: 1.5; white-space: pre-wrap;">Traditionally, Italians have embraced the concept of slow eating, healthy, home-cooked food and restaurants and cafes with unique character, serving truly delicious food. Food is not something to be rushed in front of the TV or a decision of convenience over pleasure. Instead, food is something to be savoured and enjoyed with a passion. </span><br />
<span style="line-height: 1.5; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
<span style="line-height: 1.5; white-space: pre-wrap;">What will also become apparent is that Italian cuisine may be most famous for pizza and pasta, but throughout the country, different areas specialise in certain types of food. Pasta is also often enjoyed as a starter to accompany the main meal and must be cooked a certain way (al dente - firm to the bite) to be accepted by many Italians. </span></font></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;"><span style="line-height: 1.5; white-space: pre-wrap;">Italians enjoy the finer things in life, whether that is food and drink, cars, fashion, architecture or a whole host of other features that pervade and define life in Italy. For someone who is visiting Italy for the first time, this can be almost overwhelming to the senses as sights, sounds and smells will delight and surprise. It is this Italian love and almost demand for beauty in their lives that draws millions of visitors each year. </span><br />
<span style="line-height: 1.5; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
<span style="line-height: 1.5; white-space: pre-wrap;">While many are certainly first-time visitors, there are huge numbers who choose to return often year after year. Indeed, every time you visit Italy you will discover something new, especially if you allow yourself to get a little lost. </span><br />
<span style="line-height: 1.5; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
<span style="line-height: 1.5; white-space: pre-wrap;">Italy is a country with iconic architecture known throughout the world, whether or not someone has visited it or not. This includes structures such as the Colosseum, the Leaning Tower of Pisa or the canals of Venice. Of course, these are all absolutely amazing and well worth visiting if you’ve never been there before, but to truly experience the wonder of Italy, you should wander without a particular purpose and just get lost in the moment. </span></font><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>

<font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;"><span style="line-height: 1.5; white-space: pre-wrap;">What you will discover are independent cafes selling the most delicious cappuccinos you have ever tasted, restaurants serving authentic food crafted with love and passion and not simply made to cater for tourist taste buds and wallets, churches resplendent with the most exquisite details, museums packed with fascinating finds, and buildings everywhere steeped in history. </span><br />
<span style="line-height: 1.5; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span><span style="line-height: 1.5; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">You will hear the sing-song sounds of Italians talking often animatedly, smell the delicious aroma of sumptuous foods, and become immersed in a way of life that really epitomises La Dolce Vita (the sweet life). </span></font></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;"><span style="line-height: 1.5;">If you’re anything like me, then you love to travel and preferably as much as possible. To travel is to enjoy incredible experiences, see amazing sights, encounter unique cultures, meet new people and become a more well-rounded, open-minded individual. </span><br />
<span style="line-height: 1.5;"><br /></span> <span style="line-height: 1.5;">While I can’t speak for everyone, clearly a huge part of what it means to be human is to enjoy exploring the world and seeing more than just the place we live. This is not a new phenomenon as leisure travel began at least 300 years ago! There are countless sayings and quotes pointing out the many benefits of travel with one of the most famous being:</span></font></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NvU7y-pMI1M/Xu-K2omb7II/AAAAAAAAdqQ/KazSHpp1PEoEtvBLZel-I9NR8FrV4LHYwCK4BGAsYHg/s600/travel-is-the-only-thing-you-buy-that-makes-you-richer.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="372" data-original-width="600" height="310" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NvU7y-pMI1M/Xu-K2omb7II/AAAAAAAAdqQ/KazSHpp1PEoEtvBLZel-I9NR8FrV4LHYwCK4BGAsYHg/w500-h310/travel-is-the-only-thing-you-buy-that-makes-you-richer.jpg" width="500" /></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">While in many ways this quote is very true because of all the amazing reasons mentioned before that travel enriches your life, unfortunately, the harsh reality is that money is a serious factor.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;">
<span style="line-height: 1.5;"><br /></span> <span style="line-height: 1.5;">Unless you <a href="http://www.whatssimonsaying.com/2013/07/tommy-hilfiger-gonesurfing-trip-to.html" style="line-height: 1.5;" target="_blank">win a travel competition</a> or have rich friends or family prepared to pay for you (sadly most of us don’t!), travel does cost money and is not always cheap, especially if you want to visit more exotic locations.</span></font></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;"><span style="line-height: 1.5;"><br /></span></font></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/simonturkas/46743388005/in/dateposted-public/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="La Gomera"><img alt="La Gomera" height="481" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/46743388005_6c62193c75_z.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;"><span style="line-height: 1.5;"><script async="" charset="utf-8" src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js"></script></span></font></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">There is a dilemma in life for many of us; if we work less we have more free time which should, in theory, give us more time to travel, but most of us need to work to be able to afford to travel.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;">

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/simonturkas/16150309989/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="Adventure Awaits"><img alt="Adventure Awaits" height="333" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/7524/16150309989_83eb6d2669.jpg" width="500" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="justify"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Flights are often one of, if not the biggest expense on any holiday, so being able to save money on them will already put you in a great financial position before you even take off. I'm not just talking pocket change but potentially hundreds of pounds (or your own currency).</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 1.5;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;"><br /></font></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 1.5;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;">This can make a huge difference on your holiday as not only will you be excited to be setting off on your holiday, but also be happy in the knowledge that you’ve made a big saving on your flights! With all this extra money you can afford to enjoy more meals out on your holiday, go on more exciting excursions and generally do more while you are abroad.</font></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><font size="5"><br /></font></b></div></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div style="text-align: justify;"><font face="verdana"><font>- </font><font size="5">Times, days and airports make a difference</font></font></div></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;"><span style="line-height: 1.5;"><br /><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;">The cost of flights to the same destination can vary hugely depending on a number of factors, including the airport you fly from and to, time of day, day of the week and which month you are travelling in. If you are not especially constrained by when you can travel and which airport to and from (most major cities have multiple airports), then you can make significant savings.</font></span><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;"><br />
<span style="line-height: 1.5;"><br /></span> <span style="line-height: 1.5;">Airlines generally operate by the supply and demand model and most people prefer to travel at more convenient times of the day, at weekends rather than during the week and to and from the most convenient airports. If you are prepared to fly early in the morning or in the evening, during the week and to/from alternative airports then you will enjoy significant savings.</span></font><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<br />
</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div style="text-align: left;"><span><font face="verdana" size="5">- Travel off-peak if possible</font></span></div></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;">
<font face="verdana"><span style="line-height: 1.5;">I also highly recommend travelling off-peak for example, not during school holidays, or when major events are happening in your chosen destination (unless that is why you are travelling there for of course).</span><br />
<span style="line-height: 1.5;"><br /></span> <span style="line-height: 1.5;">Airlines dramatically push up the prices of flights during these periods because they know they can, but if you don’t need to take your holiday at these times then you will save a lot on your flight prices because the demand is much lower.</span></font></div>

<font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;"><span style="line-height: 1.5;">This might seem like a strange suggestion, but multiple sources such as <a href="https://www.thisisinsider.com/how-to-get-cheaper-flights-online-clear-cookies-2017-1" style="line-height: 1.5;" target="_blank">Insider</a> have verified what might have seemed like just an urban myth. Often what people will do when they are searching for flights is to keep checking back during the week or day in the hope that the prices will magically become cheaper.</span><br />
<span style="line-height: 1.5;"><br /></span> <span style="line-height: 1.5;">In fact, this often has the opposite effect. One moment you can be looking at one price, but then if you check five minutes later it has gone up significantly and you wonder what is going on?</span><br />
<span style="line-height: 1.5;"><br /></span> <span style="line-height: 1.5;">Many different investigations into this have shown that airlines track your flight searches through cookies, so they can see when you are interested in a flight. You may think when you see it at the increased price that you need to book quickly before the price increases again. Instead, clear your browser search history and the cookies and the flights will often return to the cheaper price.</span></font></div>

<span style="line-height: 1.5;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;">In order to help you find the cheapest flights based on a number of factors such as airline, airport, time and date, then we definitely recommend using a flight comparison website such as <a href="https://flygrn.com/" style="line-height: 1.5;" target="_blank">Fly Green. </a>An added benefit of using Fly Green as opposed to other comparison sites is that they also offset your flight's carbon emissions for free!</font></span><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span><b><font face="verdana" size="5">2. Choose your Currency Exchange wisely</font></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;"><span style="line-height: 1.5;">When and where you exchange your currency can also make a big difference on what kind of deal you get and how much money you have to spend while you are abroad. If you are going to be using cash while abroad then it's strongly recommended that you don’t wait until you get to the airport to change your money.</span><br />
<span style="line-height: 1.5;"><br /></span> <span style="line-height: 1.5;">Once again this is a case of supply and demand and if you are exchanging currency at the airport then your options are very limited. Therefore the currency exchange companies that operate there charge a premium because of supply and demand in the same way as the airlines.</span></font><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<br />
<div>
<span><font face="verdana" size="5">- Where to exchange your currency</font></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;"><span style="line-height: 1.5;">The best option if you want to take foreign currency abroad is to check the rates using <a href="http://www.xe.com/" style="line-height: 1.5;" target="_blank">xe.com</a> which provides live exchange rates on over 180 different worldwide currencies. It offers a quick and easy foreign currency exchange system.</span><br />
<span style="line-height: 1.5;"><br /></span> <span style="line-height: 1.5;">You can then use a website such as <a href="http://travelmoney.moneysavingexpert.com/" style="line-height: 1.5;" target="_blank">Travel Money Max</a> (UK) to find out which currency provider will give you the best rate on your currency. It is often advisable to order currency rather than going directly to a bank or travel agent. Your currency can be delivered to your home, collected in-store or collected at the airport you are travelling from.</span><br />
<span style="line-height: 1.5;"><br /></span> <span style="line-height: 1.5;">If you order currency ahead of time you are almost certainly guaranteed a much better rate than if you bought the currency either directly in-store or at the airport. It is also best to take a larger amount so you avoid having to change more money abroad.</span></font></div>
<br />
<div>
<span><font face="verdana" size="5">- Travel cards are a great option</font></span></div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;">
<font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;"><span style="line-height: 1.5;">O</span><span style="line-height: 1.5;">ne of the reasons many people choose to take foreign currency with them is because most banks or credit card companies charge you a fee for using your debit/credit card abroad. Not only that but you also get charged a fee at the ATM where you are withdrawing money or places that you shop.</span></font></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 1.5;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;"><br /></font></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 1.5;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;">The downside of taking cash with you though is that it can get stolen or lost and is generally more inconvenient to carry around. A great alternative to cash or your normal card is a travel card. These can be loaded up with foreign currency and generally provide better exchange rates and lower fees. They are safer than carrying around cash as they require a PIN and be blocked if lost or stolen.<br /><br />A great option that I recommend is from <a href="https://account.volopa.com/signup.html?introcode=TURKAS" style="line-height: 1.5;" target="_blank">Volopa</a> which offers a travel card with no hidden fees or last-minute transaction costs. You can load multiple currencies to your Volopa card and you can keep track of everything via your online account.</font></span><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span><font face="verdana" size="5"><b>3. Beat Extra Baggage costs by travelling light</b></font></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;">These days because many of us own so many things, especially clothes, it’s hard for us to decide which to bring with us on holiday. This often results in packing far more than we actually need so we then have to check-in baggage or even suffer from excess baggage costs because we have gone over the weight limit.</font></span><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<br />
<div>
<span><font face="verdana" size="5">- Be selective in what you take</font></span><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;"><span style="line-height: 1.5;">If you’re only going on holiday for a week do you really even need to check in a big suitcase or could you manage just as well with only your carry-on luggage? Or if you are going with your partner or family you could take one check-in suitcase between you.</span><br />
<span style="line-height: 1.5;"><br /></span> <span style="line-height: 1.5;">Often people think that they will need a variety of different outfits to suit every possible occasion, but what invariably happens is you only end up wearing half of what you take. To maximise the amount of clothing you can fit into your bag use simple space-saving hacks like rolling your clothes.</span><br />
<span style="line-height: 1.5;"><br /></span> <span style="line-height: 1.5;">It is also definitely advisable to weigh your baggage before you get to the airport to avoid any unnecessary charges if your luggage is too heavy. Not only does taking fewer things save you money, but it also means there is less to haul around during your trip, less to worry about and fewer options to have to choose from in terms of what outfit you wear.</span></font><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;">When travelling abroad it is always advisable to have travel insurance just in case of any unexpected accidents, especially if you are intending on going on any adventurous excursions!</font></span></div>

<span style="line-height: 1.5;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;">Definitely don’t try and save money by not buying travel insurance at all though, as it is much better to be prepared rather than risking a much bigger cost.

For example, with the </span><a href="https://www.tripadvisor.com/Profile/SimonTurkas" style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;" target="_blank">TripAdvisor</a><span style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;"> app, you can check out all the local restaurants in the destination you are staying and compare not only their reputation but also the prices. This is also the case for different excursions and things to do.</span></font></div>

<div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 1.5;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;">With the Google Translate app, you no longer need to buy phrasebooks or foreign dictionaries if you are trying to converse in the local language.</font></span></div>

<div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 1.5;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;">You can also check out travel guide apps such as the <a href="http://www.lonelyplanet.com/guides" style="line-height: 1.5;" target="_blank">Lonely Planet Guides</a> app which is packed with tips and advice from on-the-ground experts. These apps are great as unlike a traditional guide book they won’t become outdated as they are constantly updated.

<script async="" defer="" src="//platform.instagram.com/en_US/embeds.js"></script> <br /><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;">After you make these simple changes to your life you'll never look back, and that's kind of the point. Once you are feeling more positive you rarely need to look back, only when you want to remember how far you've come. This isn't an exhaustive list, but here are 6 easy steps to help you start feeling great, to get you started:</font></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;"><br /></font></div>
<b><font face="verdana" size="5">1. Reduce your screen time</font></b></div><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on"><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;">
These days it seems like many people are literally glued to a screen, and without it, they seem completely lost. You can see it everywhere: on public transport, the streets, restaurants, cafes and of course at home.<br />
<br />
Often when people are not watching TV, or using a computer, they are head down staring at so-called "smartphones." The phones might be smart but it seems to be making a lot of people dumber! So much so that they will literally walk into lampposts while messaging, or ignore friends, family or anyone else sitting right next to them which is pretty sad. </font><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MpsnG04s2_0/VqjmjHWmVFI/AAAAAAAAB5s/yiyyXPd0Sm8/s1600/P1540220.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="428" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MpsnG04s2_0/VqjmjHWmVFI/AAAAAAAAB5s/yiyyXPd0Sm8/s640/P1540220.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br /><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;">
One of the biggest problems specifically linked to mobile phones is how people check them before sleeping, then sleep right next to them. If you are having trouble sleeping then this could be a major factor as mobile phones (and laptops, TVs and other devices with LED screens) emit "blue light" which disrupts the bodies natural sleep patterns. <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/Health/reasons-sleep-phone-bed/story?id=24839804#2" style="line-height: 1.5;" target="_blank">Consider no screens in the bedroom, and not looking at screens at least two hours before bed</a>!</font><strike><br /></strike></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;"><br /></font></div>
<b><font face="verdana" size="5">2. Make sure to do at least some exercise daily</font></b></div><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on"><br />
<div><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;">
I can say from personal experience of some difficult times last year, one of the biggest steps in becoming happier and less stressed about the situation was starting to exercise again. First of all, I started going regularly to the gym, and now I either do exercise at home or go running every couple of days.<br />
<br />
At first, I would get tired from running after less than a kilometre, the other day I managed to run 11 km non-stop after only a couple of months of training! For some people, 11 km is like a walk in the park but for me, this felt like quite a big deal.<br />
<br />
It also shows what a difference you can make to your health if you do exercise regularly for just a short period of time. <a href="http://www.fitnessmagazine.com/workout/tips/power-surge-the-hidden-benefits-of-exercise/" style="line-height: 1.5;" target="_blank">There are a number of proven physical and mental benefits to regular exercise</a>, so I would definitely recommend this if you are feeling down!</font><br />

<br /><b><font face="verdana" size="5">3. Focus more on experiences such as travel than things</font></b></div><div><br /><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;">There is an excellent quote that I think is really true:</font></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-7VbZ_I9E5Mg/VqjuObYxsMI/AAAAAAAAB58/Wko67LaNcPI/s1600/c58e30b1a852a8194598567377860ae9.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-7VbZ_I9E5Mg/VqjuObYxsMI/AAAAAAAAB58/Wko67LaNcPI/s320/c58e30b1a852a8194598567377860ae9.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;">
I believe that travel and amazing experiences give you much greater and lasting happiness than owning lots of things. When I was younger I used to always want the latest toys, video games, technology or clothes.<br />
<br />
I felt very excited about the prospect of purchasing these things, but the anticipation mostly outweighed the happiness I gained from actually owning the product. Our consumer society teaches us to define happiness through purchasing things, but this is just so huge multi-national corporations can gain even greater profits. </font><br />

<script async="" defer="" src="//platform.instagram.com/en_US/embeds.js"></script> <br /><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;">These days I actually prefer to own less and less stuff and save my money for visiting amazing places around the world. Those things that I once so desperately wanted are long forgotten, but the memories of amazing holidays with family and friends, or solo trips to new places last for the rest of your life.<br />
<br />
You can experience amazing cultures, make new friends and see breath-taking places. In fact, there is another great quote by Hans Christian Andersen: "To travel is to live" which to me seems very true. </font></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;"><br /></font></div>
<font face="verdana" size="5"><b>4. Break the routine and pursue your passion</b></font></div><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on"><font face="verdana" size="5"><b><br /></b></font>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;">
It is easy to forget sometimes how fragile life is and how quickly it can all end. When you are stuck in the rat-race and going through the motions, people go into a kind of automatic pilot mode. Months, years and even decades pass by doing almost exactly the same thing leaving many feeling completely unfulfilled as they just go through their daily routine.<br />
<br />
Life passes them by until they wake up one day and think of all the time they have wasted doing something they hate, only to realise it is almost too late to change. </font><br />
<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/zFchCH8KgAo" width="560"></iframe> <br />
<br /><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;">
While it is never too late to turn things around, it is a tragic waste of life stuck in the daily routine of a life that you are totally bored of. As far as we know we only live once, so surely it is worth taking a chance on breaking the routine and pursuing what you really want out of life.<br />
<br />
There are countless people that will tell you that you shouldn't or can't, but they are generally just projecting their own insecurities and fears onto you. Live your own life and let them live theirs.</font></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;"><br /></font></div>
<b><font face="verdana" size="5">5. Make time to enjoy reality more</font></b></div><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on"><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;">
With all the amazing technology that humans have at their disposal, are people really happier? Studies seem to suggest not. While incidences of many diseases in the so-called "developed" nations of the world continue to fall with advances in medical technology, a different set of diseases are rising instead.<br />
<br />
Incidences of depression and loneliness are growing rapidly, even with all the technology designed to entertain us at our fingertips. Humans seem to be becoming increasingly isolated from family, friends, and the world away from screens. While we may always be connected to the internet, we seem to be losing a connection with reality. </font><br />

<br /><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;"><a href="http://www.apa.org/monitor/apr01/greengood.aspx" style="line-height: 1.5;" target="_blank">Psychological studies illustrate the restorative power of nature on people's mental well-being, even when people are feeling stressed or depressed.</a> This doesn't even have to be a walk into the wilderness, even just a view of a beautiful park will help. The main thing is not to focus endlessly on technology. I would recommend a trip to the beach, forest or mountains where you can switch of unwind.</font></div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
<span><font face="verdana" size="5">6. Forget the things you cannot change and live in the moment</font></span></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;">
This is very important to realise if you want to feel happier, especially if you have experienced recent unhappy events in your life. You absolutely cannot change the past (unless you have discovered time travel), so try to focus on it as little as possible.<br />
<br />
Of course, it can be nice to look back on some happy memories once in a while, but living in the past will just bring your life to a standstill and not allow you to progress or grow as a person. On the other hand, the future is uncertain so there is no point making very long term plans. It is important to have goals, but not plans about what you will be doing in 10 years.</font> <br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/simonturkas/22405498495/in/album-72157659356823678/" target="_blank" title="Looking Out"><img alt="Looking Out" height="420" src="https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5790/22405498495_e1be17b9fd_k.jpg" width="640" /></a><script async="" charset="utf-8" src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js"></script> <br />
<br /><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;">Life can literally change in an instant, so focusing too much on the future will also distract you from enjoying the here and now. The present moment is where we exist, and it is here that we should focus our attention. If you are watching a beautiful sunset don't let your mind wander, just watch in awe and focus on how incredible that event is. Living in the moment will change your life for the better. <br />
<br />
I hope this article gave you some inspiration and gave you some ideas if you are feeling down. There is no shame in admitting things aren't right, but continuing down the same path is futile. These are some simple steps that have helped me, and hopefully, you use them to your advantage too. Get out there and enjoy life! <br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222324; line-height: 1.5;">Sometimes it can seem difficult to decide which place to travel to next, with so many incredible destinations to visit all around the world. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222324; line-height: 1.5;">While most of us would love to be able to travel more or even spend our whole lives travelling, unfortunately, this just isn’t always possible. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222324; line-height: 1.5;"><br /></span> <span style="background-color: white; color: #222324; line-height: 1.5;">I'm hoping to give you a helping hand with advice and tips on which destinations should definitely be on your must-see list this year. One such place is Greece, an absolute dream destination that needs to be seen to be believed!</span></font><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222324; font-family: lato; font-size: 16px;"><br /></span> <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/simonturkas/29952792925" target="_blank" title="A stroll is good for the soul"><img alt="A stroll is good for the soul" height="427" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/5148/29952792925_46a0519744_b.jpg" width="640" /></a><script async="" charset="utf-8" src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js"></script> <br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222324; font-family: lato; font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium; line-height: 1.5;">I can take a guess at what you might be thinking though; you think you already know Greece after seeing it on so many travel or cookery programmes. Or perhaps you feel you want to try somewhere a bit more adventurous, but you have a picture in your head of overcrowded beaches, that you'd much sooner avoid. There is a very good reason why Greece is such a popular place for tourists, TV programmes, magazine features and even movies like Mamma Mia; it is absolutely gorgeous! </span><br style="color: black; font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;" /><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium; line-height: 1.5;"><br /></span><span style="color: black; font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"></span><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium; line-height: 1.5;">It is no exaggeration to say though that Greece is one of those places that lives up to and exceeds expectations and best of all, you don't have to go anywhere near a packed beach if you want as there is an abundance of stunning secluded beaches ready to leave you amazed. Here you will find the perfect opportunity to leave your stresses behind and truly get away from it all.</span></span></div><div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222324; line-height: 1.5;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;"><br /></font></span></div><div style="line-height: 1.5;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222324; line-height: 1.5;">If you are looking for a holiday destination that has it all, then Greece should definitely be top of your list for places to visit. You will discover a huge variety of different things to see and places to visit, ranging from bustling cities to calm countryside walks, both on the Greek mainland and across its numerous beautiful islands.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222324; line-height: 1.5;"><br /></span> <span style="background-color: white; color: #222324; line-height: 1.5;">The landscape and scenery are breathtakingly gorgeous and includes mountains, lakes, forests and beaches, the cuisine is diverse, healthy and absolutely delicious, there is a fascinating history, the culture is lively and the people generally very welcoming and friendly.</span></font></div><div style="line-height: 1.5;"><font color="#222324" face="verdana"><br /></font>
<font face="verdana" size="5"><b>Breathtakingly beautiful landscapes</b></font></div><div style="line-height: 1.5;"><br />
<div><span style="background-color: white; color: #222324;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;">The natural landscape of Greece is anything but boring and instead evokes a true sense of wanderlust, as it is so stunning and diverse. You may have an idea in your mind of beaches and olive groves and to a certain extent you would not be wrong; the landscape of Greece is so much more than this stereotypical vision though. </font></span></div><div>

<br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222324; font-family: verdana;">In addition to gorgeous olive groves, you will also witness endless vines growing grapes for all the delicious Greek wine. Greece is one of the oldest wine-producing regions in the world and the first in Europe, thanks to the perfect growing conditions. Greece is famed for its wonderful warm sunny Mediterranean climate, making it an ideal place for all the fresh fruit and vegetables that are grown.</span></div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222324; font-family: lato; font-size: 16px;"><br /></span> <iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/t_NqnmYqUI8" width="560"></iframe> </div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #222324; font-family: verdana;">Much of Greece is also very mountainous with some stunning high altitude scenery which is great for taking an adventurous drive (if you’re brave enough), as you can enjoy some incredible views from the car and stop along the way for photographic opportunities. Be warn ed though that you will probably be tempted to stop countless times, but then who can blame you with views like this!</span></div></span>

This includes verdant forests where often the only sound will be that of the birds singing; absolutely perfect if you want to get away from it all. </span></div></span><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;"><div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #222324; line-height: 1.5;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222324; line-height: 1.5;"><div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;">Greece has a population of only around 11 million people which is much less than many other European countries such as the UK, Germany, France, Italy and Spain, so you can easily find solitude and peace as you explore the country.</div></span></font>

There are also literally hundreds of Greek islands, of which 227 are inhabited.
Those with inhabitants range from very large islands such as Crete which have many towns and cities, to tiny islands such as Palio Trikeri in the Pelion region which has a year-round population of just 15 people! This is a hidden gem and somewhere you can go if you’re looking to take that extra step to get away from it all.</font></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;">

Whichever beaches you choose to spend your day, from the bustling and lively through to the quiet and tranquil, you can almost be guaranteed of a great time and plenty of photo opportunities to make your friends back home jealous, even before they see your golden tan!</font></span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: arial; font-size: 14.66px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; word-spacing: 0px;">

<div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;"><div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; line-height: 1.5; text-align: left; white-space: pre-wrap;">There is probably no better place in Greece to discover the amazing historical stories and architecture that the country has to offer than in Athens, Greece’s amazing capital and largest city. Athens is one of the oldest cities in the world with a recorded history spanning over 3,400 years. Its earliest human presence started somewhere between the 11th and 7th millennia BC! </span></div>
<span id="docs-internal-guid-14500b0e-7fff-3da1-0bf6-9032dc9c7e5a" style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 1.5; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; word-spacing: 0px;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;">
<div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;">Despite now being a huge modern metropolis with a population of over 3 million people, it still retains a wide variety of ancient buildings, making it a fascinating city to explore. It is therefore well worth taking one of the many cultural tours and experiences in Athens.</div></font></span></div>

This has meant that Greek food doesn’t need to be made overly complicated to be delicious because the quality and freshness of the ingredients used create delicious flavours and tastes. </span></div><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;"><div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;"><span style="line-height: 1.5; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></div><span style="line-height: 1.5; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;">Even a dish as simple as a Greek salad with lettuce, juicy tomatoes, flavoursome Greek olives and crumbly feta cheese, drizzled with olive oil is better than many main meals in other countries and that is often just the side dish!</div></span></font></span>

</font><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; line-height: 1.5;">Greek cuisine is much loved around the world and when you actually visit the country you can easily see why as it tastes even better there. Because of the huge coastline, of course, sea-food such as fish, squid and oysters play a big part in Greek dishes, but it is all the more special when you can sit and eat your meal sitting next to the ocean with the waves gently lapping the shore and the sun setting behind one of the neighbouring islands. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; line-height: 1.5;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; line-height: 1.5;">What better way to compliment your meal than a delicious glass of Greek wine with your friends or family! </span></div></font></span></span><br />

This is a country that is perfect for taking a trip off the beaten track and making your own adventure.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">If you want to go to a regular beach for a week of sun, sand and sea then, of course, you can in Greece, but we would suggest if this is all you do for your week there then you’ve definitely missed out. If you rent a car for example you can reach remote beaches or locations where there are barely any other people or sometimes no one else at all.</div></font>

<br /><div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; line-height: 1.5; white-space: pre-wrap;">You can also find wonderful quiet bars, cafes and restaurants that are off the usual tourist trail. You will more than likely be surrounded by locals and if that’s the case then you’ll know you’ve found somewhere great. </span></div><span id="docs-internal-guid-5c237c30-7fff-ba88-5689-f260a8c60232" style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 1.5; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; word-spacing: 0px;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;">
<div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;">Ultimately a holiday in Greece can be as relaxing or as adventurous as you want but we are more than certain that however you decide to spend your time there, you will fall in love with Greece!</div></font></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.5;"><span style="color: #222324; line-height: 1.5;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;">For a large proportion of the world's population, the desire to travel and explore seems to be a very natural goal. Unfortunately, of course, many simply do not have the means or opportunity to fulfil this ambition. </font></span></span></div>

<font face="verdana"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #222324;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;">
Have you ever noticed how much fun kids seem to have? Before the sometimes terrible teenage years, most kids seem to be having such a great time! Sure there can be some temper tantrums and of course, some children have harder upbringings than others, but if you compare the way kids generally live their lives to how adults do, there is such a stark contrast.</font></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;">
<font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;"><br /></font></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;">
Too many adults take life way too seriously. Undoubtedly, there are responsibilities that kids don't have (bills, food to buy, mortgages or rent and more), but this shouldn't stop you being in love with your life.<br />
<br />
One of the questions I ask myself sometimes is what changes between our childhood days and adulthood so drastically to make so many of us become so serious? It's like grown-ups forgot how to have fun!</font></div>

They speak freely, laugh and smile more often, can have fun with even the most basic things like a ball or even their own imaginary friends, and feel free to create without the worry of being judged.</font></div><div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;">
<font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;"><br /></font></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;">
In fact, <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/ericsavitz/2011/03/22/the-untapped-power-of-smiling/#616104ba7a67" style="line-height: 1.5;" target="_blank">some studies have shown that while the average adult manages around 20 smiles per day, children manage as many as 400 smiles per day!</a> It has also been shown that smiling more is extremely good for our health, even leading to longer, happier lives. People don't just smile because they are happy, they become happy when they smile :)</font></div><div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;"><br /></font></div>

Life as an adult can't be all just fun and games (sadly). </div>
</font><div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;">
<font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;"><br /></font></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;">
On the other hand, we can learn to look at life through the eyes of a kid again and stop taking ourselves so seriously. A large part of what stops many adults from doing many of the fun things that they want to do is the fear of being judged by others. We become so worried about what others think of us, that we stop enjoying ourselves. </font></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;">
<font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;"><br /></font></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;">
The reality is though, that most people are so absorbed in their own life that whatever you're doing, however crazy/daft/stupid it might be will only register on their minds for a few moments at most. You can trip and fall in front of someone and they will have forgotten about it in minutes. Don't let this fear of failure or looking stupid stop you from having fun and living life to the full.</font></div><div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;"><br /></font></div>

Just go and do it! You want to go dancing again? Go for it! You want to smile and laugh more and enjoy your life again? Then find the things that you are passionate about and pursue those. Connect (or reconnect) with the people that bring joy into your life and also learn to be able to self-amuse. See the funny side in life and learn to laugh at yourself. </div>

<div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;">
Too often we are held back from doing what we want, say what we want, going where we want or trying something new because we are afraid of looking stupid. People stick to jobs they hate, hang around with people that bring them down, do the same boring things day in day out like spending hours watching mindless TV shows or reading the negative news headlines.</font></div>

A major step to enjoying life more is to focus less on your issues, your worries, your inhibitions and all these other perceived problems which are mostly all in your mind anyway, and focus more on helping others. </div>

The world is full of amazing people doing incredible things and what you will find with virtually all of them, is that they simply do not care what others think about them and don't waste any mental energy on worry. They are doing what they love, generally helping others along the way and having a hell of a lot of fun enjoying this ride that we call life!<br />

If you are living within the European Union and are thinking of starting your own business, or have recently done so, then this could be the perfect solution for you. There is an excellent initiative run by the EU called '<a href="http://www.erasmus-entrepreneurs.eu/" style="line-height: 1.5;" target="_blank">Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs</a>' aimed at facilitating and encouraging entrepreneurship.<br />
<br />
This is done by connecting those either starting a new business or who have recently started one, with established owners in order to create a mutual benefit for both from working together. Not only this, but it allows those starting out to work with an experienced business owner in another country within the EU, thus also creating an excellent cross-cultural exchange and opportunity to live and work abroad, with all the added benefits that this can bring.</font></div>

<br /><div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;"><font face="verdana">In essence, this is similar to the concept of an internship, however, there is one vital difference which makes it so much more useful and accessible to many more new entrepreneurs. Unfortunately, with many internships that are advertised, the training and experience provided may be good on paper for the potential interns, but they, unfortunately, remain prohibitive.</font></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;">
<font face="verdana"><br />
This is due to them being either unpaid or only offering a very basic allowance such as a small amount of money for meals and transport. Because of this, only those who have a stable financial background, such as family that is willing to support them during their internship are able to take advantage of many typical internships.</font></div>

The 'Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs' program is very different from this because, for a set period of time, the new business founder is provided with a generous allowance each month which with sensible budgeting is easily enough to cover rent, transport, food, and bills. In essence, this means the time spent with the established business owner will be covered financially for a set period of time by the European Union.<br />
<br />
The new entrepreneur can then concentrate on improving their skills, assisting the business owner they have been assigned to and building their own business. By contrast, during a regular internship, the intern may also need to work another job and cannot spend as much time developing their skills or building their business.</font><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div>

The established business owner will also benefit substantially from this program as the idea is for a mutual exchange of skills. Rather than paying the new entrepreneur who goes to work with them; instead the idea is for both parties to learn from each other.<br />
<br />
The established business owner can offer expertise gained through years of experience and the new business owner can provide new ideas and energy. Because of the funding provided by the program, money doesn't become an issue.</font><br />

I am currently taking part in the 'Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs' program in Tenerife with <a href="http://www.tenerifemagazine.com/author/simonturkas/" style="line-height: 1.5;" target="_blank">Tenerife Magazine</a> and its owner John Beckley. My goal during this scheme has been to continue to build upon my previous experience of working as a copywriter and social media manager within the field of travel and tourism. </font></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;">
<font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;"><br />
During my time at <a href="http://www.tenerifemagazine.com/author/simonturkas/" style="line-height: 1.5;" target="_blank">Tenerife Magazine</a>, I am working as the writer and editor which has involved writing and editing articles, managing the TM social media accounts and publishing photos, videos and social updates.<br />
<br />
I have also been involved in networking and helping to expand the TM brand by connecting with new potential clients. TM is very much centred around fun, high energy and promoting all the amazing experiences that can be had within Tenerife. </font><br />

<br /><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;">
Overall this has been an excellent experience so far that I would recommend to anyone who is looking to start their own business, or who has recently started one but is looking to gain new skills from someone with who has an established business and relevant skills.</font><br />

The application process can take some time, however, it is definitely worth it because if you can show how both you and your host can benefit from this process you will gain an incredible opportunity to expand your knowledge, skills and business potential.

If you've never visited <a href="http://bit.ly/2QCmAPn" style="line-height: 1.5;" target="_blank">Tenerife</a> before, then you're definitely missing out! First of all, you might be wondering where Tenerife actually is which is a totally legitimate question. With over 40% of the total population of the Canary Islands, it is the largest and most populated of this incredible archipelago of islands.<br />
<br />
Considering the Canaries are an autonomous community of Spain, you can be forgiven for assuming though that they are close to Spain. In fact, while they are predominately Spanish in culture and language, they are actually much further South in the Atlantic Ocean and are one of the outermost regions of the European Union. <br />
<br />
The island is dominated by Mount Teide in the centre which is the highest elevation of Spain and the third largest volcano in the world from its base. This is surrounded by the incredible Teide national park, the most visited in Spain and Europe. On <a href="http://bit.ly/2QCmAPn" style="line-height: 1.5;" target="_blank">Tenerife</a>, you will find a stunning coastline, beautiful beaches, huge forests, amazing architecture and of course the incredible Mount Teide and national park! </font></div>

While all of the islands are volcanic in nature and origin, because of their varying distance to the coast of Africa, size, altitude, and age, they all have very distinct landscape features. While some such as Lanzarote and Fuerteventura are mainly arid and dry, others like La Palma and Tenerife have lush forests and an abundance of vegetation.</font></div>

Being one of the central islands of the Archipelago, the island of Tenerife has a combination of landscape features, with a drier climatic area in the South, contrasted strongly with the North which has a greater abundance of vegetation, such as this beautiful park in the gorgeous capital, Santa Cruz.</font></div>

When travelling it can sometimes be difficult to find delicious, healthy food, especially if you are unfamiliar with the best local restaurants, cafes, and bars to visit. Often the places with the tastiest food are not the most expensive or the most heavily advertised, instead, they can be well-kept secrets that only the local population like to head to, or places that have only recently opened up. <br />
<br />
Another difficulty can be if you have certain dietary requirements such as being vegetarian or vegan or having an intolerance to certain foods like gluten or lactose. While the world is certainly becoming easier for vegans such as myself when abroad it certainly can still be a challenge!</font></div>

I recently spent a week staying at <a href="https://www.pearlygrey.com/author/simon-turkas/" target="_blank">Pearly Grey Ocean Club Resort</a> in the South West of Tenerife, the largest and most populated of the seven Canary Islands. With a population of very close to 900,000 people, it is also the most populated island of Spain and an extremely important global tourist destination with about five million visitors each year! As you can imagine, there is a massive choice of different places to eat including a number of top-quality restaurants.<br />
<br />
Having visited the island back in April 2016, I already knew there were some great places to eat. On the other hand, there are a large number of places to avoid full of unhealthy junk food. If you are travelling from the UK, for example, you could literally eat British food every day if you really wanted to (why would you?!) with restaurants, bars and pubs serving traditional British grub such as fish and chips, roast dinners and that kind of thing. <br />
<br />
You can also find literally any other type of food you want on the island including Chinese, Indian, Thai, Japanese, Italian and of course Canarian and Spanish. With such a huge choice, where should you eat? Well for delicious and healthy food I would definitely recommend the amazing Magic Café Lounge Bar in Playa de Las Américas, Tenerife! </font><br />

During my stay in Tenerife, I went to Magic Café with my friend John Beckley, the marketing manager at Pearly Grey Resort and <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/rena-valatka-aab12a87/" style="line-height: 1.5;" target="_blank">Rena Valatka</a> who is currently working as a marketing assistant at the resort. We arrived at around 2pm on a Thursday and were warmly welcomed by the staff there, who showed us to our table which was outside at the front, where we felt right in the centre of the holiday vibe of Tenerife!<br /></font></div><div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;"><font face="verdana"><br /></font></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;"><font face="verdana">
The location of Magic is amazing as it is right in the centre of the main shopping strip of Playa de Las Americas, one of the most popular areas of Tenerife. Despite it being the middle of winter, it was a lovely warm temperature with a bright blue sky. The street is lined with palm trees, fountains and a variety of excellent shops, bars, and restaurants which really gives it that holiday vibe as you sit sipping your drink and eating.</font></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;">
<font face="verdana"><br /></font></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;"><font face="verdana">
Magic has a great selection of drinks, including some amazing juices and smoothies which are both delicious and nutritious. As it was the middle of the day we all opted for non-alcoholic drinks, although you can find an excellent variety of beers, wines, and cocktails. I decided to try out the 'Heart-Beet' juice, and wow, it was so good! <br />
<br />
For just 5 euros you get this super healthy juice which also tastes amazing. It is a mixture of beetroot, apple juice, and spinach, with a hint of fresh ginger for that extra kick. Beetroot stimulates blood flow to the heart and cleanses the blood so you will feel great afterwards. There are a number of other different juices to try with cool names like 'Feel good flush', 'Delicious detox' and 'Glowing green' plus smoothies like 'Strawberry Seduction' if you are looking for something sweeter. </font></div>

<div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;"><font face="verdana">
The drinks were served quickly and with a smile by the Magic team who were friendly, knowledgeable and professional. Unlike some restaurants you might have been to, they were able to answer any questions we had about the food on the menu, make recommendations and accommodate our tastes. They also speak a number of languages fluently such as English, Spanish and Italian. <br />

While John is a meat-eater, Rena is a vegetarian and I'm a vegan so we cover the whole spectrum of food tastes. This is no problem though if you visit Magic Café Lounge Bar as they have something for everyone and are very happy to add or take away ingredients from any meal on the menu. Our meal had already started off very well with the delicious drinks. Could the food top it? </font></div><div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;"><font face="verdana"><br /></font></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;"><font face="verdana">
For a very reasonable price, I have to say the food was absolutely delicious! While John opted for a meat dish and Rena had a salad with wrap, I decided to try out one of the salads as they sounded great. I often enjoy eating salads at lunchtime and these didn't sound like any ordinary salad. I'm not exaggerating when I say this was definitely one of the best salads I've ever had and it certainly lived up to its name! I present to you 'The Magic Salad!'</font></div>

As it is described on the menu the salad has the best of everything with a number of different ingredients. While some people equate salad with boring (and sometimes it can be), when prepared properly, salads can be some of the best foods on the menu. They are often also an excellent selection for vegans! <br />
<br />
The Magic Salad has Quinoa (great source of protein), avocado (rich in omega 3), chia seeds (amazing 0% cholesterol health boost), chopped 3 colour pepper and onion mix, refreshing cucumber and mixed greens. It was presented beautifully and even had a little flower on top! </font></div><div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;"><br />
<script async="" charset="utf-8" src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js"></script> For 8,50 this was amazing value, especially as it was a generous quantity of food. After the salad and my healthy juice, I felt satisfyingly full. This was also the case for John and Rena and we all agreed the food was amazing! <a href="http://magicbartenerife.com/wp-content/themes/ADreamtoHost/images/menu-en.pdf" style="line-height: 1.5;" target="_blank">You can find a great selection of different cuisine styles at Magic including Mediterranean, Mexican, Vietnamese and Japanese.</a></font> </div>

As well as the excellent location, gorgeous t-shirt weather, friendly staff, and delicious food and drink, there was also a very cool atmosphere with a live guitarist playing acoustic Spanish music and singing.

<div style="text-align: justify;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;">
Don't worry, this isn't some dubious blog post where I'm going to tell you that you can be anything you want to be if you just work hard enough. If it sounds too good to be true, then more than likely it is, so don't believe anyone who tells you otherwise.<br />
<br />
There are certainly legitimate reasons why some people literally cannot accomplish certain dreams that they have; not everyone is going to be a premiership footballer or an astronaut. It doesn't matter how hard you work, it is simply not possible for everyone to do or have everything they want in life.</font></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;"><br /></font></div>
<font face="verdana" size="5"><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Stop Wasting Opportunities</b></div></font></div><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.5;" trbidi="on"><br />
<div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;">Certainly, not everyone starts life with the same life opportunities and not everyone is physically or mentally capable of doing certain things. On the other hand, though, there are many of us wasting opportunities with the lies that we tell ourselves.</font></div><div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;">
<font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;"><br />
In the Western world, there are millions of people with better opportunities than the rest of humanity has had throughout human history. In many ways, there has never been a better period of time to be alive!</font><br />

Erik is a blind adventurer who has climbed Mount Everest and kayaked the Grand Canyon! By the age of 13, Erik was robbed of his sight by a degenerative disease called Retinoschisis.

During his teenage years, he became passionate about rock-climbing after discovering a natural ability at it. Later on, he graduated with a double major at Boston College and became a middle-school teacher and wrestling coach at Phoenix Country Day School. After climbing the highest point in North America though, his true life vision began to take shape.<br />

He decided to start a movement called No Barriers in which to inspire all of us to face and overcome life's challenges. The motto is "what's within you is stronger than what's in your way."</font></div>

<div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;">
Nick is a man from Australia who was born without fully formed legs and without arms completely due to a disease called phocomelia. At the beginning of his life, his mother refused to even see or hold him, but over time his mother and father accepted their son for who he was. </font></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;">
<font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;"><br /></font></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;">
With the use of his two, small deformed feet, Nick was able to use his toes like fingers to turn pages of a book, operate a wheelchair, computer, mobile phone and other functions. Despite severe bullying at school, Nick was able to thrive in his teenage and early adult years and graduated from university with a Bachelor of Commerce degree.<br />
<br />
He has since dedicated his life to helping people, particularly children to overcome life's many adversities, such as bullying which unfortunately seems to affect increasing numbers of people. He now travels the world as a motivational speaker and has written several books which are all linked to his non-profit organisation: Life Without Limbs. </font></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;">
Once again I'm not suggesting you follow dreams that are physically impossible. Nick could not have become a world-class football player for example, even if he had dreamt to be one. He and Erik though are perfect examples of people who have set out to lead incredible lives.<br />
<br />
Even better, they have also dedicated their time and energy to helping others to live the best lives they can lead. As Erik suggests with his Breaking Barriers organisation, the idea is not to say that everyone has to go and climb Everest or kayak down the Grand Canyon. It is about achieving even small goals that you have set yourself such as living a healthier life.</font></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div>

<div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;">
For many of us, it is so easy to continually think about what we want out of life and imagine how it could be better. Because everyone is unique there is a huge range of hopes and desires that people have for how their lives could be improved.</font></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;">
<font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;"><br /></font></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;">
Some of these are material such as a new car or a bigger house. For other people, they would really love to see a spiritual or emotional change in their life like a more fulfilling relationship, better friendships or a closer relationship with their family. </font></div>

Many think or talk about a better career that is more in line with what they are really passionate about, or that offers a better salary, or often both. Some people have always dreamt of travelling and spend their spare time searching on social media for all the amazing places they could travel to in the world if only they had the time or the money. There are those that want to take better photos, or to start a YouTube vlog or even get going on that blog that they know will be amazing if only they weren't always busy.</font></div><div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;"><br /></font></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;">
The excuses are often the same: I don't have time, I don't have the skill, I don't have the money. We've all heard these and probably even thought them at some point in time. Most though, that's all they are, excuses rather than reality.<br />
<br />
What is really stopping you is you. That's the harsh truth, but deep down you probably already knew that. If you really want to do something then you can and will put your mind to it and do it. </font></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;"><br /></font></div>

In life, you can only rely on others so much and eventually you are going to have start taking responsibility for what you want out of life. If you want to start that YouTube video series then there is not much that you need. If you are reading this blog post then you probably already have the tools. In fact, you can record, edit and upload a video onto YouTube all from a basic smartphone.<br />
<br />
If you want to start a blog, then you can for free. You just need a basic computer and access to the Internet. You don't even need to buy a computer you could use a computer at your local library for free.</font></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<font face="verdana"><br /></font></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><font face="verdana">
The Internet has opened up a wealth of opportunities, much of which is completely free. You can learn how to cook, learn a new language, do university courses, edit and upload photos and videos, start a blog. These are all tools that are available to millions of people which a couple of decades ago would have seemed impossible. </font></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<font face="verdana"><br /></font></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><font face="verdana">
This isn't just about the Internet though, there are simple changes that you can make in your life to make big improvements. If you want to become fitter then start walking more, join a local gym (some for as little as £10/ month) or even do some basic exercises at home such as sit-ups and press-ups. Start eating healthier foods like less processed rubbish and more fruit and vegetables. One thing I would definitely <a href="http://www.whatssimonsaying.com/2016/11/4-reasons-you-should-definitely-switch.html" target="_blank">recommend is becoming vegan</a>, but that's totally up to you.</font></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><font face="verdana"><br /></font></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;"><font face="verdana">
If you really want to achieve something such as a healthier body, better relationships with family and friends, a more fulfilling job, more travel or anything else you can think of (well maybe not heading to Mars), then you need a plan of action. What you need to realise though, is that you probably do have time you just need to readjust your priorities. </font><br />

One of THE biggest time wasters, in my opinion, is TV. It literally sucks the life away from people. Millions of people get home from a day at the office where they have been sat in front of a screen, then slump in front of the TV for the next three to four hours. Just think of how much time that adds up to each week, month and year and what better uses you could be putting all that time to. <br />
<br />
When you think about it you really do have time. You have time to contact your family and friends, time to start a course, time to write that blog post, time to go for a run and time to look for that dream job. It can be tough but what you need to do is take action and stop being stupefied by TV (and other complete mind-numbing activities like scrolling through Facebook, celebrity magazines or excessive shopping. </font></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<font face="verdana"><br /></font></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><font face="verdana">
While you can't be anything you want to be in life, you can certainly take positive and immediate action to create a significant and lasting change to how you live. You will become more fulfilled, inspired and motivated. Rather than the vicious cycle that many find themselves in you can create a positive cycle for you and those around you. There's no time like the present! </font><br />

<span style="color: black; line-height: 1.5;"><br /></span><span style="color: black; line-height: 1.5;">From a very young age, I've had an insatiable urge to explore and see as much of the world as I could, and I know many of you do too!</span><br />
<span style="color: black; line-height: 1.5;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black; line-height: 1.5;">YouTube is the second most visited website in the world with over a billion users and hundreds of thousands of videos uploaded every single day!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; line-height: 1.5;">Many of these are from travel vloggers exploring their country or the wider world, providing amazing content to inspire you to get out there and have some awesome adventures of your own. With so many channels to choose from though and only limited time each day, which travel vloggers are worth spending your precious time with?</span></font><span style="color: black; font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif;"> </span></div><div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<b><font face="verdana" size="5">Louis John Cole aka FunForLouis </font></b><div><span style="background-color: white; color: #252525; font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;"><span style="background-color: white; color: black; line-height: 1.5;">Louis is possibly the ultimate travel vlogger on YouTube, having seemingly visited almost every country in the world. His daily vlogs are engaging, funny and inspirational with a positive and uplifting message. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; line-height: 1.5;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; line-height: 1.5;">Rather than focusing on luxury travel, Louis likes to show his viewers amazing adventures you can have on an affordable budget and also helps to promote more sustainable travel. Everywhere he goes he likes to interact with locals and get involved in the authentic way that they live, rather than travelling like a tourist.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #252525; line-height: 1.5;"> </span></font><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #252525; font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Louis' first video on his FunForLouis channel was uploaded almost four years ago back in December 2012 and his channel now has a staggering 1,872,559 and 237,978,169 views! Clearly, people are getting a lot of enjoyment out of watching Louis having fun around the world. </span></div><div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;"><font face="verdana">
<span style="color: black; line-height: 1.5;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black; line-height: 1.5;">I, along with his thousands of other fans love the positive message that Louis projects throughout his videos from the upbeat welcome at the beginning right through to the end where he closes each video with "Peace out, enjoy life and live the adventure".</span></font></div><div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;"><font face="verdana"><span style="color: black; line-height: 1.5;"><br /></span></font></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;"><span style="line-height: 1.5;"><span style="background-color: white; color: black; line-height: 1.5;">If you are looking for some epic travel inspiration then you definitely need to check out Ben's awesome channel on YouTube where you will find his daily travel vlogs which not only show incredible global locations but are also shot with amazing visual flair and skill. </span></span><br />
<span style="line-height: 1.5;"><span style="background-color: white; color: black; line-height: 1.5;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="line-height: 1.5;"><span style="background-color: white; color: black; line-height: 1.5;">His vlogs are full of positive energy, with Ben having a great outlook on life in terms of sustainability, ethical values and veganism. As well as his daily vlogs he also has a series of videos called Visual Vibes which are truly works of art such as his latest video:</span></span><span style="line-height: 1.5;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.5;"> </span></span></font></div>

<div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 1.5;"><font face="verdana"><span style="background-color: white; color: black; line-height: 1.5;">Ben uses GoPro's, DSLR cameras, vlogging cameras, 360 cameras and drones to really add to the visual vibes of his videos and edits these all together with some of the best music you will hear in vlogs to create vlogs that will always leave you wanting more like a great TV show. He </span><span style="background-color: white; color: black; line-height: 1.5;">began his channel back in 2008 when he was into competitive kayaking so some of the earliest videos on his channel show his kayak training and racing. </span></font></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;">
<font face="verdana"><span style="color: black; line-height: 1.5;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black; line-height: 1.5;">Things have changed completely in Ben's life and channel since then though and he has amassed 630,192 subscribers and 105,233,498 views which I'm sure you'll agree is epic! Ben's videos begin in an upbeat, friendly way and end with his humorous and positive catchphrase: "Remember to work hard, be nice to people, and try not to get lost or killed. OK love you, bye."</span></font></div><div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;"><font face="verdana"><span style="color: black; line-height: 1.5;"><br /></span></font></div>
<font face="verdana" size="5"><b>Ashley Renne aka Travel Lushes</b></font></div><div style="line-height: 1.5;"><br />
<div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 1.5;"><span style="background-color: white; color: black; line-height: 1.5;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;">Louis and Ben are of course already huge YouTube personalities, so thousands of you already know about them and how great their channels are, but there are also many great smaller YouTube vlog channels out there that you should definitely check out. One of these is Renne's channel, Travel Lushes which has some fantastic videos. </font></span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;">
<font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;"><span style="line-height: 1.5;"><span style="background-color: white; color: black; line-height: 1.5;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="line-height: 1.5;"><span style="background-color: white; color: black; line-height: 1.5;">I find a great way to find out about YouTube channels that aren't as well-known as people like Ben and Louis, is via other social media channels. I connected with Renne on Twitter fairly recently while browsing through travel tweets and noticed she has a YouTube channel. I already loved watching travel vlogs so I thought why not give her channel a try, and I was not disappointed!</span></span></font><span style="font-family: roboto, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif;"> </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: roboto, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;"><span style="background-color: white; color: black; line-height: 1.5;">As I hope you'll agree, Renee's videos are really well put together and seem like they were made for a professional television show. It is clear the effort and time that she puts into her videos. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; line-height: 1.5;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; line-height: 1.5;">They also have some excellent tips on travelling which are really useful for those looking for their next adventure such as how you can fly for free using points and how you can enjoy a sustainable eco-trip.</span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.5;"> </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.5;"><br /></span>
<span style="line-height: 1.5;"><span style="background-color: white; color: black; line-height: 1.5;">I'm very much into sustainability and travelling in a way that preserves or even improves a local area, rather than destroying it so I really like the channel's like Renne's that offer this positive travel perspective. She is also a natural presenter with an engaging and friendly style. Her channel has had over 50,000 views but she deserves a lot more!</span></span><span style="line-height: 1.5;"><span style="background-color: white; color: black; line-height: 1.5;"> </span></span></font></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;"><span style="line-height: 1.5;"><span style="background-color: white; color: black; line-height: 1.5;"><br /></span></span></font></div><b><font face="verdana" size="5">Nadine Sykora aka Hey Nadine</font></b></div><div style="line-height: 1.5;"><span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br /></span></div><div style="line-height: 1.5;"><span style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;"><font face="verdana">Nadine is a natural in front of the camera and you can see this in her vlogs which are full of positive energy, quirky humour and excellent viewer engagement. On her travel channel Hey Nadine, she uploads videos twice a week to help inspire would-be travellers and instil a sense of wanderlust in those wondering whether to head out on an adventure. </font></span><div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;">
<font face="verdana"><span style="color: black; line-height: 1.5;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black; line-height: 1.5;">Her videos include travel vlogs, travel destinations, travel tips, comedy videos and life vlogs. There is a great mix here to keep viewers entertained and tuning in for Nadine's next video.</span></font></div><pre style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; white-space: pre-line;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/cK3wK1bS7Do" width="560"></iframe></div></span></span></pre><font face="verdana">Since joining YouTube about 10 years, Nadine's channel now has 282,121 subscribers and 35,705,574 views! Clearly, there are a lot of people tuning in to get travel tips and advice and see Nadine's great presenting style. <br /><br /> I also like the fact that Nadine offers excellent advice for vegan travellers, as while this can sometimes prove to be tricky, with the right advice it is definitely achievable to have a happy vegan holiday! </font></div><div style="line-height: 1.5;"><font face="verdana"><br /> Now for a cheeky plug ;-) </font><div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;"><span style="line-height: 1.5;"><br /></span></font></div><b><font face="verdana" size="5">Simon Turkas aka WhatsSimonSaying</font></b></div><div style="line-height: 1.5;"><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">M</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify; white-space: pre-line;">y love of travel has grown from a number of different factors.

Statistics suggest that more and more people are becoming vegetarian, vegan or cutting back on their meat and dairy intake drastically across the world. Rather than just a fad this really does seem like a long term trend that will only become stronger as people are increasingly realising the benefits of turning vegan for themselves and the planet. </font></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;">
<font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;"><br /></font></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;">
Here are 4 reasons you should definitely switch to a vegan diet:</font></div><div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;"><br /></font></div>
<b><font face="verdana" size="5">1. You are helping to save the planet</font></b></div><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.5;" trbidi="on"><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;">
What many people don't realise is just how destructive animal agriculture and therefore the consumption of meat and dairy is to the environment. Through some vloggers I follow on YouTube, I discovered the documentary Cowspiracy which is both essential viewing and incredibly shocking.<br />
<br />
It seems that the billion-dollar corporations behind animal agriculture in the US and other so-called developed nations are behind a massive cover-up. We are often led to believe that the use of fossil fuels, such as when we drive our cars are the real culprit in terms of destructive climate change. </font></div>
<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/nV04zyfLyN4" width="560"></iframe>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;">
While the use of oil, gas and coal is indeed very destructive due to greenhouse gas emissions, the production and consumption of animal products is an even bigger threat to the environment, and this is something the industry has been desperately trying to cover up.</font></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;">
According to the<a href="http://www.fao.org/docrep/010/a0701e/a0701e00.HTM" style="line-height: 1.5;" target="_blank"> Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (FAO</a>): </font></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5;"><blockquote style="line-height: 1.5;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;">
"Animal agriculture is responsible for 18 percent of greenhouse gas emissions, more than the combined exhaust from all transportation." </font></blockquote><div style="line-height: 1.5;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;">This is just one of a whole host of facts (with sources) on the <a href="https://www.blogger.com/#" style="line-height: 1.5;" target="_blank">Cowspiracy website</a> showing how incredibly destructive animal agriculture is for the environment, and how the consumption of meat and dairy helps to perpetuate this.</font></div></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;">
<font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;"><br /></font></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;">
An <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2016/nov/07/tax-meat-and-dairy-to-cut-emissions-and-save-lives-study-urges" style="line-height: 1.5;" target="_blank">article in The Guardian newspaper</a> highlights the results of a recent study conducted by a team at Oxford University, the first global analysis of this issue, that has concluded that a climate tax on meat and dairy would lead to huge and vital cuts in global greenhouse gas emissions and also save lives, through the reduced consumption of unhealthy food.</font></div><div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;"><br /></font></div>
<b><font face="verdana" size="5">2. You can eat with a clear conscience</font></b></div><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.5;" trbidi="on"><br /><div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;"><font face="verdana">
While most people will claim, quite understandably, that they either love animals or at least believe that their unnecessary suffering is wrong, this is quite ironic as most of the world still choose to consume animals and animal products.<br />
<br />
No animal chooses to be killed and all are individual sentient beings capable of thoughts and the ability to experience a variety of different emotions, including strong levels of fear when they can sense they are going to be killed. <br />
<br />
This is why they back away and fight with all their strength and energy to escape when they are being harmed or led to their deaths. Every year it is estimated that over 56 billion farmed animals are killed by humans. This does not even take into account fish which are killed in such large numbers that they are simply measured in weight!</font><br /></div><div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;"><font face="verdana"><br /></font></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/vzAzGR_92kU" width="560"></iframe>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;">
Despite most people feeling some level of compassion for animals as fellow living beings, unfortunately, we have been conditioned from childhood to view animals such as cows, pigs, chickens, sheep and fish as simply sources of meat, eggs and milk instead of thinking beings that each value their life as much as we value our own.<br />
<br />
One way many people overcome any guilt they have is by kidding themselves that animals are somehow killed "humanely," but this has been completely debunked by various secret footage videos of the appalling treatment of animals including being stamped on, thrown around, suffocated, stabbed, beaten, boiled and burnt. There is a great quote from Paul McCartney: "<b style="line-height: 1.5;">If slaughterhouses had glass walls, everyone</b> <b style="line-height: 1.5;">would be a vegetarian</b>" (now they are likely to choose veganism).</font></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;">
<font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;"><b></b><br /></font></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;">
I also believe that many more people would turn vegan if they knew what was going on inside dairy farms, where female cows have their calves stolen straight after birth and spend their entire lives hooked up to machines sucking their udders. Chickens are kept in tiny cages where they literally can't move and are treated as egg-laying machines. Male chicks are considered useless and are thrown into a grinder and ground up alive! The dairy industry contributes greatly to animal suffering. </font></div>

Personally, I have found the transition very easy and after a couple of weeks, it felt completely natural. I rarely if ever miss any meat or dairy, especially after seeing so many videos online that have totally put me off the thought of eating these products. I do often get asked though "Isn't it difficult being vegan?" or "Isn't being vegan so limited in what you can eat?" <br />
<br />
There are vegan alternatives to almost everything you might associate with dairy including burgers, sausages, mayonnaise, milk and even bacon! These are available in increasingly large numbers of supermarkets as the popularity of veganism increases exponentially. The quality and taste of these products are constantly getting better and better.</font></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;">
I believe from my own experience that being vegan is only difficult if you let it be. Of course, you are not going to be able to eat everything that you once ate in restaurants or from the supermarket, but this actually makes life a lot easier.<br />
<br />
This cuts down the choice and therefore time wasted food shopping. It also means you can cut a lot of the unhealthy crap out of your diet and focus on buying healthier vegan options. There are delicious vegan options if you are eating out either at chain restaurants such as at Pizza Express:</font><br />

There is <a href="https://www.vegansociety.com/go-vegan/health" style="line-height: 1.5;" target="_blank">growing research and scientific evidence</a> to suggest that switching to a vegan diet is not only good for animals and the planet, but also our own personal health. This includes weight loss, increased energy levels and younger-looking skin.<br />
<br />
A well-planned plant-based diet is rich in all of the essential vitamins, nutrients and minerals that your body needs including protein, iron and calcium. It is a complete fallacy for example that you need to eat meat for protein, with many vegan-friendly sources of protein such as nuts, seeds and beans. </font></div>

I have always enjoyed keeping fit and living a healthy lifestyle, but after a 5-month stint in an office job, I really felt that my health had deteriorated. I decided to get back to the gym and get back in shape.<br />
<br />
I definitely feel that becoming vegan has given me more energy and made me feel more motivated to go to the gym regularly. When I go to the gym I try and train as hard as possible as I want to stay in the best shape I can. </font></div>

The perfect body, lifestyle, house, friends, job or relationship don't exist, and life always has its ups and downs. ~ That doesn't mean you shouldn't strive to be the best you can be for your own personal fulfillment and so you can offer the best of yourself to others such as friends and family, and also wider society as a whole. ~ While I'm not going to say you have to be vegan to be either happy or healthy, you should certainly question the information that has been given for so many years by the mainstream food industry that you need to consume animal products to be healthy, strong and stay in shape. This is simply not the case. ~ I've been vegan for around 4.5 years and have not had any issue getting sufficient protein for example. If you're consuming animals to get protein, where do you think those animals get their protein from? 🤔 🌱😏 ~ Like all of us, I'm not getting any younger, but feel fitter than ever and I would say a large part of that has been thanks to switching to a vegan diet, as well as regular workouts (4-5 times per week gym or other physical activity like running). ~ Have you considered cutting down on animal products or vegsnism?

<div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;">Many of the world's biggest health concerns are on the rise such as obesity, heart disease, diabetes and cancer and much of this is being attributed to the spread of a Western diet rich in meat and dairy consumption being pushed on the rest of the world.</font></div><div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;">
<font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;"><br />
The plant-based sources of the previously mentioned nutrients are packed with antioxidants, high in fibre and low in saturated fat, thus helping to prevent the growing global health epidemic that currently exists. Don't worry about that stupid stereotype that vegans are all weaklings as many of the <a href="http://metro.co.uk/2015/08/26/13-vegan-athletes-smashing-it-on-a-meat-free-diet-5349835/" style="line-height: 1.5;" target="_blank">top athletes in the world are vegan</a> including professional tennis players, MMA fighters, pro surfers and Iron Man champions. </font></div>

<div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;">
So if you want to save the planet, save animal's lives and get in the best shape of your life then you definitely need to switch to a vegan diet. <a href="https://2ec35i7gyy7wfu7zth-puns53z.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=28_DAY_VEGAN_CHALLENGE" target="_blank">Plus it's much easier than you think!</a></font><br />

Recently I was invited on an amazing media trip to Tenerife by the <a href="https://rdo.org/?s=simon+turkas" style="line-height: 1.5;" target="_blank">RDO</a>, to stay at <a href="https://www.pearlygrey.com/how-to-enjoy-an-amazing-holiday-in-tenerife/" style="line-height: 1.5;" target="_blank">Pearly Grey Ocean Club</a> timeshare resort in Costa Adeje. The trip involved a week at the resort, and a host of exciting excursions. This was the view from my room!</font><br />

While I have both holidayed and lived in Lanzarote on a number of occasions since 2012 and visited Fuerteventura and La Graciosa, I had not yet reached Tenerife. This all changed with an amazing week-long trip that I hope will inspire you to go!</font></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><font face="verdana"><br /></font></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">While for many who have not yet experienced Tenerife, but have merely glanced at a typical photo, it might appear that all that's available is sun, sand, and sea. In other words, the typical beach holiday spent roasting in the sun and sipping cheap lager by the pool. Don't get me wrong, if that is what you are after then you can easily spend a week doing that. </span><br style="font-family: verdana;" /><br style="font-family: verdana;" /><span style="font-family: verdana;">If you are reading this post though, I'm sure you are more discerning than that and looking for a much more exciting time. Well, the good news is that Tenerife is so much more than beaches, even though you will find some incredible ones there.</span><font face="verdana"><br /></font>

<div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">The first thing you will likely notice about the island, especially if you have only previously been to some of the other Canary Islands such as Lanzarote or Fuerteventura, is how different it is to them in terms of landscape, size and the overall pace of life. </span></div><div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;">
<br />
Tenerife has a population of over a million and in parts is very built up with a huge array of shops, restaurants, bars, clubs and other amenities such as theatres and cinemas. Tenerife is full of life and there is plenty to do from morning until night. A week will speed by with absolutely no chance of feeling bored! </font></div><div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;"><br /></font></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;">
There is some amazing beauty in Tenerife and an incredible diversity of landscape. Around the coast, there are of course stunningly beautiful sandy beaches with palm trees, blue skies and amazing views out to the Atlantic ocean. </font></div>

As you travel inland through you will be struck by how green and verdant the island is. In the same way that the island is full of human activity, it is also full of natural life with an array of palm trees, cacti, and other plants. </font></div>

As part of the #GoShareTenerife media trip, John and I were invited on a number of different exciting excursions by the companies that Pearly Grey works with. This meant we had a diverse week with many different experiences. This included:</font></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div>

This is just a selection of some of the amazing experiences I had in Tenerife and this was just during one single week of staying on the island. If you are <a href="http://bit.ly/2QCmAPn" style="line-height: 1.5;" target="_blank">planning a holiday to Tenerife</a>, as you can see there is more than enough to do to fill a week-long stay there. In fact, a week is not enough so you'll either decide to extend your stay or start planning your next trip back as soon as you arrive home!</font></div>

The Costa del Sol, that's the part of Spain you go to if you want a week of sun, sand and sea right? Well of course if that is what you are after, then yes the beautiful region of Malaga in the sunny south of Spain is perfect for that. </font><br />

You can almost be guaranteed sunny days every day of your holiday, and there are plenty of beautiful sandy beaches, and a gorgeous blue ocean to swim in. While I'm certainly not knocking that kind of holiday, as sometimes a week on the beach is the perfect remedy for the stresses of modern life, this part of Spain has so much more to offer! </font><br />

As well as staying at the resort we were also able to go on a number of different amazing excursions. These were arranged by <a href="http://www.clublacostaworld.com/" style="line-height: 1.5;" target="_blank">CLC World</a> with the excursion companies that they work with. Guests who stay at the resort can book a place on any of the excursions that we tried via the resort reception. <br /><br />
<script async="" charset="utf-8" src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js"></script> I have to be honest, before this adventure to the Costa del Sol, I had no idea that there was such a variety on offer. This really was a week of new experiences, as apart from the final excursion I had never tried any of these trips before! Our week involved very little beach or relaxation, but instead a lot of exciting active adventure. <br />
<br />
On the first day, we were invited to go on a Jeep Safari Tour by the brilliant <a href="http://www.rangerssafaritours.com/" style="line-height: 1.5;" target="_blank">Rangers Safari Tours</a>, who have many years of experience of operating in this beautiful area. The team were taken on a wonderful adventure through the stunning countryside of Andalucía. <br />
<br />
This was a safari and nature tour all rolled into one, because as well as exceptional off-road driving conditions, there was also plenty of beautiful nature to experience including orange, lemon, olive and almond groves. </font><br /><br />
<script async="" charset="utf-8" src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js"></script><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;"> After such a great start to the week, could the coming days match this high standard that had been set? The answer was a resounding yes, as the next day was equally as awesome. We went on an incredible helicopter flight with World Aviation Helicopters which took us on a stunning aerial tour along the coast near Marbella, over the luxury marina of Puerto Banús. This was my first time on a helicopter, and I loved every second of it. I would 100% recommend a helicopter flight in this area!</font><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/FYgaAwI_-aM/0.jpg" frameborder="0" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/FYgaAwI_-aM?feature=player_embedded" width="320"></iframe></div>
<br /><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;">
After two very different but action-packed days, we had reached mid-week. The excitement continued as we were off for another flight, but this time parasailing with <a href="http://www.parasailingfuengirola.com/" style="line-height: 1.5;" target="_blank">Pirate Parasailing</a> out of the nearby Puerto de Fuengirola. <br />
<br />
This is something I'd never done before but also thought looked fantastic whenever I'd seen it from the shore. I was slightly nervous as we were hooked onto the parasail, but as soon we took off from the boat the nerves turned to excitement. It was a huge amount of fun and gave a good boost of adrenaline :D The company are fantastic with years of experience and friendly, fun-loving staff. <br /><br />
<script async="" charset="utf-8" src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js"></script> Next day we were back driving around the beautiful landscape of Andalucía, but now we were in control as we took the wheel of dune buggies. This was a Buggy Safari excursion with <a href="http://www.rangerssafaritours.com/" style="line-height: 1.5;" target="_blank">Rangers Safari Tours</a>. This is also something I'd seen from afar and thought how fun it looked, but this time it was my turn to man the wheel. <br />
<br />
The experience was terrific and so much fun. Although of course, the speeds were a lot lower, it still felt like being a rally driver speeding around off-road terrain, with mountain and forest backdrops. The company were again absolutely great and true professionals!</font><br />

After all that excitement during the week, the final day we had something a bit more relaxing booked. We had a spectacular sailing excursion planned with the brilliant <a href="http://marbella-yacht-charters.com/marbella.html" target="_blank">Marbella Yacht Charters</a>, a family run business with years of experience of providing top-quality, exclusive sailing excursions. <br />
<br />
This was a perfect end to what had been an action-packed and exciting week of new experiences. We sailed from Puerto Deportivo in Marbella along the stunning Costa del Sol towards the luxury Puerto Banús. The setting, weather and ambience were sublime. <br />
<br />
Pete the captain, and Laura the other crew member were both super friendly, and great to talk to. There was relaxing music, drinks and snacks, and great conversation. We sailed into Puerto Banús to see the luxury yachts and even had time for a refreshing swim in the warm seawater. </font><br />

A big thanks to CLC World for organising all the excursions and for letting us stay at their beautiful resort. The staff, food, rooms and everything else during our stay were all second to none. Also a big thank you to all the excursion companies for providing such excellent trips and for their professionalism and friendliness.<br />
