Hot Air Ballooning in Cappadocia, Turkey
You can take a hot air balloon ride in Cappadocia year-round, but the spring and autumn months are often an excellent time to go. The summers in Cappadocia are typically hot and dry, while the winters can be very cold, which isn’t an ideal time to fly through the crisp air at the crack of dawn. More than 100 balloons rise in Cappadocia every morning, filling the skies with a rainbow of colour.

Arundel sits on a curve of the River Arun and feels like an ancient market town that never once lost its desire to treat travellers to its charms, with lively markets, countless tea rooms, antique stores stuffed with art deco sculptures, tatty books and personal relics from local auctions along with inviting little pubs lining the main street. But the most notable attraction is the castle packed full with 1000 years of history that sways over the slated roofs of Arundel.

Managing anxiety holistically
It’s important to get to know your autonomic nervous system, as it’s your map to wellness. If you’re an anxious person, it’s likely you’re easily activated into ‘flight’ mode (or perhaps ‘fight’, if your sensations feel more aggressive and agitated, as opposed to scared and intimidated).
Soul-searching in the remote Namibian desert
If solitude is what you seek, look no further than the Namibian desert - the perfect soul-cleansing sanctuary. Listen to the whispering dunes as they tell tales of ancient nomad tribes.

In the evenings, bask in the glory of uninterrupted stargazing while the lions call to the ancestors.
Swimming With Whale Sharks off the Coast of Mexico
Imagine sharing bathtub-warm waters with 40-feet-long and 20-ton whale sharks, the largest fish in the world. While the idea may sound daunting, whale sharks can’t and won’t eat or attack humans. These majestic creatures are filter-feeders, sucking up teeny-tiny, microscopic plankton and fish with their enormous, gaping mouths.

Lightened Up French Onion Soup - Easy Homemade Recipe!
Rich, cheesy French onion soup is one of my favorite cozy soup recipes, and this easy lightened-up version is just as delicious as the original! It’s packed with caramelized onions in a warm, beefy broth, topped with crusty bread and melted cheese. We love going to our neighborhood restaurant for French onion soup, but it’s far from light. I wanted to recreate their soup at home so I could enjoy it more often, but with fewer calories.
The French Alps' Prettiest Towns
The old town of Annecy is often lazily referred to as the “Venice of the Savoie” but this is just a frivolous analogy — good enough to let you know that there’s a bridge or two. Yes, the river that cuts a flower-dressed vein through Annecy does conjure images of Venice, but it has its own personality. For a start it’s just so French — streets adorned with iron balconies and impeccably dressed tables, as well as morning baguette deliveries traversing arched bridges by bike.
