When Traveling Has Your Heart

Caleigh Shaw

Traveling is one of the most beautiful things that we are able to do. We can pretty much do whatever we want and go wherever we want. If we want to go to the same area over and over again, we can do so. If we want to constantly go to different place, we can. Traveling has always been something I have loved to do, and I'm one of those people that love going somewhere new. The problem is that I haven't been able to go where I want to go, and because of this, my love for adventure makes me do all sorts of things.

Watch travel vlogs.

I'm subscribed to a few people on YouTube, and with their sponsorships with Contiki, a travel group for young adults, I have seen a few YouTubers go to some of the most beautiful places of the world. This led me to following FunForLouis (Louis Cole), who vlogs every day of his life and seems to constantly be somewhere new and RayaWasHere (Raya Encheva), who posts weekly videos on life advice and her frequent adventures. Watching travel vlogs helps my love for travel become bigger and bigger, and they always keep me inspired. A couple of Louis' recent vlogs made me want to travel to several places in Peru and not just Machu Pichu. I instantly fell in love.

Have a travel Pinterest board.

Pinterest may be known as DIY central and helpful for weddings and other things, but it also has great infographics on traveling in specific countries and traveling in general. There are also thousands of pictures of some of the most amazing aspects that the world offers. I have learned so many things about traveling that I can remember about through the use of my travel board on Pinterest!

3. Plan, plan, plan.

These two things combined have helped me want to start all kinds of things. As a writer, being a travel writer is a beautiful combination of the two things I love to do: travel and write. I also want to study abroad on a program where I can actually learn about travel writing. Also on my list is to start creating itineraries for places and start a blog or become a vlogger. I will definitely have to save up for a nice camera!

Through these things my love for travel will never go away, and it only makes me want to save up for my next adventure!

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

Humans and robots face off in a rock band battle with guitars and drums, under dynamic lighting.

StableDiffusion

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
