Who doesn’t love a good book? For millennia we have been reading the thoughts and stories of authors from around the world. From their humble beginnings as etchings in tablets to the first book ever printed in 1455, it is estimated that there have been well over 130 million different books printed.

Whether you are trying to become healthier or wish to avoid chronic diseases such as diabetes or heart disease, adhering to a healthy diet can be a great first step. We often see ourselves consuming quick and easy food that may not be giving us the nutrition we need to stay fit and healthy.

The only thing that beats a delicious meal is a delicious meal with a view. When it comes to picturesque restaurants, it’s hard to beat a beachside eatery. Whether it’s a moody winter afternoon, a brisk autumn morning or a gorgeous summer afternoon, its tough to match the experience of dining while enjoying a beautiful sunset or the sounds of breaking waves.

Some of the world’s most iconic cities hold semi-annual fashion weeks throughout the year, where leading fashion designers show off their latest creations. Known as the “Big Four”, the most prominent fashion capitals that put on the finest fashion weeks include Milan, Paris, London, and New York.

Nothing beats binge watching our favourite T.V. shows on Netflix. While most aim to simply entertain our minds, others inspire us to leave our screens and see the world with our own eyes.

Nothing quite beats the thrill of bumping into someone famous. Many of us long for the day we will bump into a princess or movie star at the grocery store or be sat beside them during a flight. And while many go to great lengths to protect their privacy, there are places you can visit which will increase your chances of catching a glimpse of a celebrity.

Travel provides us with all kinds of enjoyment and memorable moments, but what happens when our holiday plans don’t go quite the way we had hoped?

Easter is upon us once again. For Christians it’s time to celebrate the resurrection of Christ and get together with family and friends, but some countries around the world celebrate the holiday a bit differently to us here in Australia. In some countries Easter means murder mysteries, while in others: self-flagellation. Some countries even use the holiday to rid the countryside of rabbits with large scale hunting competitions!

Just like the fashion industry, technology, and the latest food crazes, travel too develops trends. Off the beaten path destinations become mainstream, unique modes of transportation pop onto the scene, and fresh tours are developed which few before have experienced.

Christmas is upon us once again and with it comes our most cherished holiday traditions. We will be setting up our trees, hanging our stockings, searching stores for the perfect gifts, singing Christmas classics, and more. But have you ever wondered where and when these traditions started?
