Wanderlust: Your Search for the Perfect Travel Caption

Stories and Travel Info, World Travel - Amanda - February 5, 2021

Wanderlust

The word ‘wanderlust’ has become increasingly popular. And it is a very popular hashtag on social media platforms like Instagram, Facebook and Twitter. The number of travel bloggers in the world is rising at a rapid pace, as the persistent idea of wanderlust is made more accessible by social media platforms and the internet which gives us access to bigger worlds.

The inability to travel and indulge our wanderlust caused by the coronavirus pandemic has only fuelled the use of the word ‘wanderlust’. Travel and wanderlust are fuelled not just by a desire to see more of the world but also to learn more about other cultures and languages, grow more sensitive to the world and know something we cannot learn from books or the internet.

Wanderlust is not just a trending hashtag, but a way of life. It is a way of broadening our understanding of the world, and expanding our horizons. Through travel, and the idea of wanderlust, we learn to shed our prejudices and realise that we are only small parts in the universe. Travel inspires us to take things lightly, and makes us realise what really is important in life- a curiosity to know more and the desire to act on it.

As one sits at home and only dream of travel, reading travel narratives, novels and quotes becomes a wonderful way to imagine a time when one can travel again and explore our vast, beautiful world. Until we can travel again, here are a few quotes that you can use for your Instagram captions for posting throwbacks, and in anticipation of the photos that you will post after your wanderlust is quenched after travelling.

Visiting the Killing Fields of Cambodia: Why It is so important?

Getting Lost, Travel Tips - Amanda - November 29, 2020

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

When you arrive in the Killing Fields at the village of Choeung Ek, the first thing that you see is That:

Looking at it from a distance, you would not understand this was a website of mass genocide. In that stupa would be the skulls of tens of thousands of Cambodians who have been brutally slaughtered by the Khmer Rouge.

In general, Pol Pot and his Khmer Rouge soldiers murdered around 1.7 million Cambodians.
While the Nazis constructed gas chambers for mass slaughter, the Khmer Rouge murdered people in the least expensive manner possible. To save money on bullets, they simply bludgeoned or Letting people to death rather.

In attempting to enforce his ideology, Pol Pot became more paranoid and murdered anyone who had been regarded as a hazard to the Khmer Rouge regime. The Khmer Rouge killed physicians, professors, teachers, attorneys, engineers and many others, and quite few of Cambodia’s educated course survived.

With the entry fee into the Killing Fields you get a sound guide, which requires you to different numbered posts around the website. It clarifies what things could have seemed like, and paints an image of exactly what occurred here. Visitors leave colored bracelets as a sign of respect.

As you walk around the region you’ll pass mass graves and pits that included the victims’ bodies. You will find glass boxes full of items of bones and clothing that have been found around the website.

Frequently bones, bones and clothes come to the surface after heavy rain due to the high number of bodies buried in the pits.

It is a harrowing and grim narrative, and possibly the oddest part is that the Killing Tree, in which the executioners smashed infants against the back.

Eventually, after the excursion, you walk within the tall stupa, where tens of thousands of skulls are laid out on shelves that reach all of the ways to the very top.

I am still not sure how I feel about dark tourism’ because I always feel quite awkward, walking around areas such as this, particularly with my camera. But, I do believe it’s important to observe such items, admit they exist, make folks conscious of what occurred, and make sure we attempt to stop genocide from happening in the future.

The Killing Fields are approximately 15km out of Phnomh Penh plus also a 30-40 minute ride at a tuk-tuk. Entry into the Killing Fields prices $3 USD.

How do you feel about genocide tourism?

Top 3 Reasons To Consider North Carolina for Your Next Vacation

Best Destinations - Amanda - September 16, 2020

If you’ve been wondering where to take your next family vacation and you’re tired of visiting the same crowded, touristy places, you may have been looking for North Carolina beachfront rentals and wondering if this underrated Atlantic coastal state would be worth a visit. The Tar Heel State can sometimes fly under the radar when it comes to tourism, but it has a surprising number of attractions to offer any visitor. From beautiful beaches to majestic mountains to old-fashioned Southern charm, here are a few of the top reasons you should consider adding North Carolina to your vacation short list.

1. The Beaches Are Peaceful

If you like going to the beach but are tired of how crowded many beaches can be, you’ll be excited to learn that North Carolina beaches are generally very family-oriented and peaceful. Rarely is there overcrowding on these beaches, thanks in part to a culture of building cozy beach home rentals along the oceanfront instead of high-rises and hotels. Additionally, the beaches often come with some interesting history. The Outer Banks, for instance, are a popular destination for families today, but were previously made famous for being the location of the first flight. When you need a break from sunbathing, you can visit local museums to learn about each island’s unique past.

2. The Mountains Are Perfect for Hiking

If hiking is more your speed, you’ll be excited to know that western North Carolina hosts the tallest mountain in eastern North America, Mount Mitchell, that boasts an impressive height of 6,636 feet. No matter the season, the Blue Ridge Mountains are perfect for a family drive or hike and offer stunning scenery and countless photo opportunities. Stop at one of the state parks along the way for a picnic and soak up the view.

3. There’s Rich Culture

If your idea of the perfect vacation involves boundless food, drink and chances to kick back, there are several spots throughout North Carolina that offer relaxing opportunities in abundance. For a taste of local craft beer, visit Asheville in the west. For world-class barbecue, stop at any one of the countless specialty restaurants throughout the state.

When your family can’t decide whether your next vacation should be to the city, the country, the beach or the mountains, consider choosing North Carolina and getting the best of all worlds. The Tar Heel State is geographically diverse and has something to offer every tourist, from laid-back beach vibes to Southern country style. The next time you’re planning a vacation, consider adding this beautiful state to your list. You could be in for the time of your life!

Hey! It’s Amanda from Turn of the World. I started my blog to share some more personal travel tips with the world! I grew up in New Jersey and always though that there was more to life than my home town. When I turned 22 I decided it was time to explore and saved all my pennies to travel the world for a year. That was 2 years ago and I haven’t stopped since. I find ways to work while I travel and make some money writing online to enable my travel-bug.
