How to Travel Very Lightly
To our friends and family, my husband and I are freaks of nature. We can travel for three months at a time sharing one medium sized backpack and two small daypacks between us. This is unfathomable to most people, who cannot conceive of leaving their house without half their closet, the entire contents of their bathroom cabinets, and their complete collections of gadgets. I have had my own luggage dilemmas. So I decided from then on out, I’m done packing for every possible scenario. Luckily, my husband is the original light packer and multi-tasker, so we are the perfect travel team. Why it’s important to travel lightly Traveling should be about freedom, enjoying new adventures, experiencing other cultures and a change of scenery, but for many people it is about anxiety, insecurity and fear of the unknown. When traveling in developing countries or when trekking, it is necessary to carry your own luggage or hoist it yourself on to the top of trucks, 4x4s, or buses. How to do it Technology

Chuckwagon Apple Fritters | Scarletta Bakes
I’ve been thinking about the Good Humor truck a lot lately. Like, a lot. This happens to me almost every summer. I get super hot. The sweating starts. The farmer’s tan shows up. Every summer when I was a kid, we would spend our days at the local pool. I was a champion eater. Around 11:19 a.m., I’d start to get excited. Waiting. And then, in the far-off distance, I heard it… Diddly ding da ding da ding ding-a-ling a ding dongggggggggggggg (Whatever. I have to be first in line.

Five Towns of Cinque Terre
Located on the Italian Riviera, Cinque Terre is a rugged coastline, made up of “The Five Lands” or the five villages: Vernazza, Corniglia, Monterosso al Mare, Riomaggiore, and Manarola. The Cinque Terre is so appealing because it does not display any modern developments in its architecture. Many of the residents over the centuries have built terraces on the cliffs that overlook the sea from the coast. The villages are only connected by paths (specifically the Blue Path of Cinque Terre that connects all five villages and is a famous hiking trail), boats, or trains—nope, no cars. You definitely will not need to spend more money renting a car if you choose to visit the Cinque Terre; you can just focus on these almost mythical lands themselves. Vernazza One of the truest fishing villages of Italy’s Riviera, Vernazza is a gem with no car traffic on its streets. Corniglia Corniglia is a village that dates back to Roman times, and sits on a steep cliff, surrounded by vineyards. Monterosso al Mare
