The Bizarre and Incredible Salvation Mountain

salvation-mountain
One of the most incredible yet bizarre roadside attractions I've seen. This guy really loves God...a lot. So much so that he created a tribute to him near Niland, along the Salton Sea, in California. It's a good thing that his God is a loving God. Salvation was created by Leonard Knight, a Korean War veteran, and is his...

I'm not a religious person, but this is the smallest, most adorable little chapel you'll ever see! It's worth a stop if you're passing by, but not worth going out of your way for.

The Magic of Matangi Private Island Resort in Fiji

matangi-fiji
I generally don't like going to luxury resorts. Most of them tend to be so commercialized and similar to each other and so packed full of amenities that you might as well have just gone to a hotel in Vegas. I find most luxury resorts to be isolating from the native area and cultures where they are located and...

Even if you don't know the nitty gritty details, you know that these animals are often mistreated and abused.

Svartifoss Waterfall Hiking Guide

Svartifoss-hiking
Svartifoss is like no other waterfall I've ever seen. This is entirely due to the black basalt rock formations that surround it, creating a stunning visual motif. When hiking along the ridgeline approaching Svartifoss (Black Falls), you'd half expect to see Frodo and Sam from The Lord of The Rings walking along side you. It's like a troll or...

Why I Don’t Have An Instagram Account

Debunking Every Excuse That’s Keeping Your From Adopting a Plant Based Diet

Stop with the excuses! The livestock industry is terrible for our planet and our health. I've talked with many carnivores who have considered giving vegetarianism a try and know it's a good idea and would be better for them and the planet, BUT.... there's always a "but". So here you go - every misconception and excuse I've heard as...

meat-alternative-for-new-vegetarians
If you're curious about giving a vegetarian diet a try, one of the best ways to start easing into it is by substituting your current meat intake with meat-alternative products. Maybe do this once or twice a week to start if you aren't too sure about it, or if you're ready to go cold-turkey (pun intended), incorporating meat substitutes...

coral-reef-bleaching
Let that sink in for a second..... all of the coral reefs, including the Great Barrier Reef, which is the size of the entire east coast of the United States, could be gone within 30 years due to climate change. That is a staggering fact. If you'd like some reference material for this information, here you go. Last night I...
