This was by far the most hippy, grass smoking place I've ever stayed. Most hostels around the world are just young adults who are looking to tour the world cheaply. This hostel was different though. Some have decided to take residence and have been there for months. If you can think of a movie about a bunch of hippies seeing kumbaya and smoking pot together from the 1960s, this is THAT place. It was actually an awesome time. Just hippies everywhere.

Some people just have that look... #portrait #grancanary #man #lookintomyeyes #focused #instatravel #traveler #dronestagram #dronephotography #neverstopexploring #wanderer #wanderland #wanderlust #passionpassport #beautifuldestinations #iamatraveler #lifeofadventure #adventurethatislife #huffpostgram #igtravel #travelphotography #travelgram #travelblogger #travelingram #landscapelovers #goexplore #keepexploring #lifewelltravelled #agameoftones #worldcaptures via Instagram ift.tt/2iqJhFM

We drove down February 25, 2024 for our honeymoon and with each winding turn, the mountains were surrounding us more and more. There were so many cabins in the distance, pastures, and quiet stretches of road where we were the only one driving for miles. There were very few small towns. Definitely Country Roads! We giggled, listened to music, and talked the whole time, randomly seeing a mountain or rock face and getting excited.

 

Everyday we found a new adventure (after taking advantage of the complimentary breakfast each morning, of course) whether it was seeking waterfalls, hiking, playing on the swings, snowboarding, sledding, or exploring railroads. We watched the sunset over the mountains each night of the week we were there, and left the fireplace lit all night to keep us warm. First of many adventures as husband & wife!

One of the most incredible things about Palau is that it is home to an amazing Jellyfish Lake. Not surprisingly, this is one of Palau’s most famous attractions. Jellyfish Lake is a marine lake located on Eil Malk Island. Every day, millions of golden jellyfish migrate across the lake. While they do this, you can go swimming with them!

 

Swimming with the jellyfish was actually forbidden in recent years, as the jellyfish population was in decline. However, as of 2019, the jellyfish numbers are on the rise and swimming with them has been reopened.

 

Jellyfish Lake is around 12,000 years old. It’s a remnant of the last ice age where, during that time, the sea level rose to the point where sea water began to fill the basin. But when the glaciers receded, there was no place for these jellyfish or other fish to go. This isolation allowed the species in the lake to develop on their own and become unique (Darwin would be proud!).

 

In 2005, there were around 30 million jellyfish in the lake, though that number was in decline for many years. By 2016, there were almost none.

 

Fortunately, there are now around 700,000 jellyfish back in the lake and scientists are optimistic about the numbers continuing to grow.

Mini Series: Frontier Town

 

2020 was a rough year for me (and many, many others) - This series captures part of a much needed camping trip. Being around family, eating, laughing, and exploring the grounds in our little golf-cart. It was so simple, but a perfect reminder of where I needed to be. It was a long year being away from my family due to Covid. I missed the dogs, my Mom’s cooking, laughing with my sister, hearing stories from my Dad, playing with my nephews, and even the familiar smell of the camper. It was off-season at Frontier Town, so it was pretty quiet, but relaxing. The campground sits right on a cove off of Chincoteague Bay. My family has visited the coasts of Maryland since I was born, so it always felt like a second home: the plants, trees, sound of the bay, sand, ocean breezes. It’s right where I needed to be.

(If you’re just now tuning in, this is another installment that is part of an ongoing series. You can start at the beginning- youloveben.com/choose-your-own-adventure)

While five days is too short to properly explore the Faroe Islands, we lucked out with spectacular weather that made taking in the country's dramatic landscapes an absolute pleasure. While people often talk about the Faroe Islands as being very similar to Iceland, Scotland or Norway the truth is it is its own distinct destination with raw shoreline and distinct geological formations that make it truly unique to experience and explore.
