I become quite excited when I think about Travel to Asia. It is world’s biggest continent with highest population. Hence, an amazing mix of culture and tradition is an obvious and inevitable element of Asia. With amalgamation various countries and its specialty – India, land of tradition; China, legacy of dragon; Singapore, city of light; Angkor, way of Hinduism – Travel to Asia is one of the most lavish experiences of life.

Every country in Asia is a continent in itself due to the vastness and variety it offers. Hence, it is quite impossible for a person to travel around Asia in a single trip. So, your tour can be essentially divided into three parts: South East Asia, Indian Sub Continent, and Asia Pacific.

South East Asia – While you Travel to Asia, it’s quite impossible to ignore the bunch of countries that comprise ‘South East Asia’. This part includes countries like Laos, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia, and Singapore. Variety is considered to be the spice of life here as flying from one country to another is cheap. This bunch is like a vast country in itself with innumerable places to explore and several experiences to adore.

However, voyaging through this beautiful land that encompasses Taj Mahal, a wonder of the world, is one of the cheapest holidays you will ever find on earth. Similarly, the countries that comprise Indian Subcontinent – Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri-Lanka, Tibet, and Nepal – offer vast assortment of unusual experiences.

Hong Kong is among those places that are unique and multifaceted, that it becomes very difficult to describe them. Popular as the ‘city of contrasts’, ‘world class city’, and an ‘amazing city’ all aptly sum up the city. Hong Kong today is a ‘special administrative region’ under the People’s Republic of China. Earlier the Hong Kong territory was under the British for many decades as a result of the 19th century Opium wars. In 1842, Hong Kong, came under the British and remained with them until the 1997 handover to China. With the policy of ‘one country, two systems’, Hong Kong will retain its own social, economical and political systems.

Hong Kong travel is unlike any other travel experience. From a small fishing village in the early 1800s, to a modern cosmopolitan metropolis of 21st century, all through it is an amazing journey. The city has grown into a vibrant city, an important financial and economical center, full with imposing sky rise buildings. The map of Hong Kong can be clearly marked of three main important areas of Hong Kong Island, Kowloon, the new territories and some 260 small outlying islands. This city of contrasts provides with an excellent opportunity, to experience at the same time an exciting modern city along with fusion of the ancient civilizations and rich traditions. It is a perfect picture out here with the city balancing the old and the new traditions, varied sights and attractions as varied as the people of the region.

Travel Hong Kong has in store a fantastic holiday destination for the travelers. A city that is always in the process of evolving and taking in on the modern advancements, tourists return with memorable times. The best time for Hong Kong travel is the period from October to December, when the days are sunny and cool comfortable nights. Even the months of January, February and March are good times to travel. However, summer months can get too hot and humid and even the cheapest months for the reason that it the low season for tourists because of the weather.

Traveling to Hong Kong would see unfolding of a city that is soaked in traditions yet taking in on the modern developments. In fact, it is an odd combination of everything one could expect to find here and asume of the city. The city’s vibrating commercial activity is the highlight of any holiday here. A vacation to Hong Kong is going to be packed, full of bright lights, exciting shopping opportunities, moving nightlife and an array of tourist attractions. For sure, every age group would find something to intrigue them and enjoy to their fullest. The attraction of ‘Symphony of Lights’ on the Hong Kong Island is a favorite place among the romantic couples, whereas the visitors with a family find the Ocean Park and Disneyland very interesting options. Catch the city’s best picture of the skyline from the Victoria Peak, considered to be amongst the best in the world.

Travel Hong Kong gives many reasons to travelers, who flock here from all over the world. However, it is the exceptional shopping, excellent food, cruising to the outlying islands and spending some relaxing moments in the lap of the nature that are not to be missed when traveling to Hong Kong.

Very futuristic looking sign for the attraction.

The great thing about being a traveling nurse boils down to one key component – it’s about the travel! For those of us who love moving around and seeing the world, travel nursing is the profession of our dreams. There are many travel destinations available, based on weather, activities, cost of living, and salary. Therefore, I have gathered a list of my “Top Ten” destinations that nurses choose, based on the number of travelers who inquire about each location every month. Are you a travel RN scouting a new assignment? Then I’d like to suggest the following ten “Hot Spots”:

HAWAII – It’s no shock that Hawaii generates over 500 travel nursing inquiries per month. The wide range of outdoor activities from snow-capped mountains to snow-white sandy beaches elevates Hawaii to one of those meccas where you can build a snowman or a sand castle all in one day. Nurses tell me that you’ll discover virtually every type of outdoor activity imaginable—hiking trails that wind through erupting volcanoes, secret beaches, and lush green ranchlands. Many travelers also hunt, mountain bike, go rafting, and golf on some of the world’s most extravagant courses.

ALASKA – Travel nurses are intrigued by the possibilities of Alaska’s rugged mystery. Alaska is a huge wilderness with beautiful scenery, and travel nursing assignments offer plenty of time to see and do everything you want, whether in winter’s darkness under northern lights, or the glorious spring and summer where it’s light most of the time. Outdoor enthusiasts enjoy Alaska for its’ wildlife, spectacular natural landscape, and fishing expeditions where the fish really are as big as the stories about which they’re told. Countless day cruises and sightseeing expeditions abound, as well as opportunities to hike, kayak, canoe, ski… Need we say more?

MONTANA – Whether photographer, adventurer, or both, Montana is truly a state that beckons with open arms. River trips, fishing and camping, history, snowy mountain ranges, and waterfalls are what you’ll encounter, along with plenty of open space to explore. Assignments in Montana appeal to those travel nurses who just need some time to break away from their city grind to enjoy marching to the beat of an entirely different drummer. The Big Sky Country boasts some of America’s most famous mountains, canyons, river valleys, forests, grassy plains, badlands, and caverns, and many travelers find it just irresistible enough to keep coming back.

MAINE – Maine’s splendor has inspired artists like Georgia O’Keefe and three generations of the Wyeth family, since the mid-nineteenth century. Travel nurses can’t resist at least one adventure in this charming getaway. Whether you embark on outdoor adventures like skiing and snowmobiling, or if you prefer the cozy ambience of antiquing through charming villages or just strolling or riding horseback on miles of sandy beaches in the smell of salt air, Maine is legendary and offers some wonderful travel nursing experiences. Its’ unique culture is outdoorsy and quaint, and of course you get to enjoy lobster as the locals do—fresh from the ocean!

CALIFORNIA – Warm weather and world-famous beaches make California a favorite choice for traveling nurses. Nine-hundred miles of coastline gives nurses in all locations the chance to spend many hours near the waves; and for nature lovers, California is home to many wildlife parks, remote wilderness areas, and safe-havens for endangered animals. If you’re an excitement junkie, you can scout out a wide selection of theme parks; and no matter what your taste in music, concerts abound in every type of venue. Historic sites and museums invite, as do five-star restaurants and clubs in which to see and be seen. The shopping is unparalleled, whether it’s trendy Melrose Place, La Jolla, or the strand in Venice Beach; and of course it’s home to Hollywood, and, yes, movie stars. Whether northern, southern, or coastal locations, traveling nurses return to California time and again.

WASHINGTON – The Evergreen State boasts the gorgeous Pacific Ocean, the Cascade Mountains, desert experiences, rain forests, towering volcanoes, glaciers, and lush wine country. Washington State rates high on the list of many nurse travelers. Must-sees are the Space Needle and Coulee Dam. The culture here is incredibly diverse; sophisticated, outdoorsy, and loaded with resorts, history, parks, museums, and botanical gardens. Whether touring downtown Seattle for cozy antique and book stores, exploring ancient Indian grounds, or hiking and biking mountains or trails, Washington holds a strong allure for many nurse travelers.

SOUTH CAROLINA – Endless adventure, excitement, fun and exploration represent why South Carolina is always a favorite destination for travel nurses. America’s oldest landscaped gardens frame mansions rife with historical heritage, in addition to pristine beaches and legendary marshy wetlands. For all you golfers, with over 330 golf courses, there’s always a new place to swing your clubs. But what fascinates many traveling nurses is the rich heritage in which South Carolina has paved the roads of culture, art, and folklore in our past. You can visit several historical areas and discovery centers of American history, including the American Revolution and the Civil War.

COLORADO – World-class winter skiing and summer music festivals in the mountains are just two reasons that nurses love traveling to Colorado. Boasting four spectacular seasons, Colorado is where travel nurses get to explore the state’s 18 million acres of state and national parks, forests, and monuments for biking, hiking, fishing, mountain climbing, and kayaking, to name a few. Colorado has many cultural treasures, including ancient Native American sites and dinosaur fossil exhibits, historic ghost towns, and even award-winning vineyards in Grand Junction. And for those who enjoy city life, amid all this natural beauty lie wonderful metropolitan areas like Denver and Boulder, full of shopping, performing arts, and professional sports.

TENNESSEE – From energetic nights of blues on Beale Street, to gorgeous rolling acres of Tennessee Walker horse country, to peaceful Smoky Mountain sunsets, Tennessee is a vacation that offers many world-renowned attractions. Nurse travelers who visit Tennessee will find that they’re within a day’s drive of 75-percent of the U.S. population via quality interstates and highways. Attractions in Tennessee include the Jack Daniels’ distillery, Elvis’s Graceland, the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, and lots of southern hospitality. And don’t forget the crown jewel of the southern Appalachians, the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

ARIZONA – If you adore the outdoors, then the Grand Canyon State might just be for you. The nurses who go there just rave about Arizona’s landscape which takes in tall mountain ranges, swift rivers, grasslands, sand dunes, and cactus forests all set against a beautiful sky that glows pink in the sunset. The traveler nurses who enjoy history will find plenty of it here, including Old West reformations, Native American nations, and Spanish-influenced areas all in one state. Arizona is also home to the nation’s greatest golf courses, resorts, spas, cabins, and ranches.

As you can see, limitless possibilities exist for those nurses who want travel, fun, and adventure to be part of their daily lives. If you’re a nurse who travels and it’s time for you to move on to a new location, try one of these top travel nursing destinations and see what new experiences lie ahead.

The Mystery of the Orient


Image by Stuck in Customs
The biggest mystery here, which you may have guessed by now, is that this is not in the orient at all. This is in the World Showcase area of Epcot. In some ways, I think, Epcot has the least exciting rides and attractions of the four Disney parks in Orlando. But what it lacks in rides, it makes up for in photo ops!

My best suggestion for photographers is the following. First, if you are staying in a Disney resort, then you get special "night hours" at different parks. Be there on the Epcot night, and make sure you are as far away from the exit as possible when the park closes. Then, you can take your time walking back to the entrance and take as many photos as you like! Everything is well lit, there is nobody around, and security doesn’t even seem to mind. No one rushes you out… it’s very relaxing and perfect. And, of course, the World Showcase has all sorts of cool buildings, architecture, and landscaping… countless opportunities for great compositions.

I took this photo right outside of a great Japanese restaurant. I forgot the name, but I had some pretty good sushi. I think this place and the California Grill have the best sushi at Disney, if you are into that sort of thing.

The Ultimate Carnival


Image by Stuck in Customs
I’ve been to Disney World many many times, but this is my first time as a grown-up to Disneyland. I always feel strange, by the way, calling myself a grown-up!

Disneyland has two parks on the premises. This one is from California Adventures, the second and newer park. Towards the backside, there is this perfect street, full of carnival-like activities. As most of you know, I’m a big fan of graphic design, so it was great fun to look at the delicious details in all of these signs.

When you travel the world you learn to be humble and accept other people’s culture and way of living. There are so many ways to live a life and we can learn something new from every person and country we visit. The knowledge brings us an opportunity to be a healer for people and nations with a closed mind.

The language is no barrier.

Small kids never mind other kids regardless of color or race, they can keep playing for a whole day without being able to understand each other’s language.

Although they are not orally communicating, they do understand each other perfectly. There is no miscommunication.

As an adult we have the same ability although we do not trust it. Our feelings tell us more than we like to believe and regardless of how we respond, we still have a feeling about it.

When you travel as an adult you relearn to be sensitive to your feelings, being able to understand the message that other cultures and people are communicating.

The meeting.

I heard the story of two older monks that met after many years. Half an hour they were sitting in front of each other without a word. Finally both bowed and left the meeting place.

One younger monk observed them and later asked why they didn’t say a word? The older monk answered that everything was said with total clarity.

Culture chock in your own country.

It is very common to get a culture chock in your own country after returning home from a longer travel. Suddenly you will discover how people live and what they believe in. Although it was always there, in front of your eyes, you never really saw it.

It can be a chocking experience to recognize how ignorant and inflexible many people are.

Often people have told me that I am wasting my money on traveling, when I could have bought a new car or a better TV set.

An experience last forever, a car does not.

If you learned your lesson well during your world travel, you will be humble and grateful for your knowledge. There will be many ways to communicate your wisdom among fiends and groups, which can truly help solving racism and cultural tensions.

The story about the monks will also apply to the higher consciousness that you have gained through your travels, which does not need to be orally communicated.

Only by being present, will broadcast the message to your surrounding and people can choose to accept it and be attracted to your person or reject it and avoid you. You are still healing people wherever you go.
