What's life without a little bit of an adventure? Imagine yourself hiking the Himalayas or scuba diving in the Galapagos Islands. Well, you won't need to imagine anymore because this is the perfect season to do these things!

Summer is meant to try new things and explore the world. Exposing yourself to new cultures and learning is a huge part as well. The world is an amazing place and there's always something to learn and somewhere to explore.

Although everyone's preferences for exploration are different, it's always a new adventure in itself to break out of your comfort zone and try something new!

If you love adventures and like a taste of exploring, here are 11 travel destinations that are a must!

Filled with various types of tortoises, sea lions, and penguins, the Galápagos have some of the rarest wildlife and are definitely on my bucket list of places to go! As Jacques Yves Cousteau once said, "The sea, once it casts spell, holds one in its net of wonder forever." These islands are just some of the magic that the world has casted!

Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer.

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Marconi Beach

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

You cannot beat the beach. Believe it or not (which many people may not), New England has a long and beautiful coastline. Most of my high school summers were spent sitting on the Wall at Hampton Beach, getting sunburnt and eating Acai bowls from The Secret Spot. The Wall was the place to be both during the day and at night. We begin our days there with a KB's bagel and coffee, and end them with pizza and ice cream. It’s not a New England summer without that 4 p.m. text from someone, “Who wants to meet at the Wall tonight?” Nighttime is for Tripoli’s Pizza, the sound of waves, and wishes on shooting stars. Wednesday nights are especially important, as those are the nights that Hampton Beach sets off the weekly firework display.
