How I Afford to Travel… And You May Not Like What I’m Going To Say | Kate From the States
The honest truth – I never have the money I need to travel, but I buy the ticket anyway. I’ve realized that money comes and goes, but the more I make, the harder it is to part with it and weirdly, the less I have, the easier it becomes to budget. I don’t do that saving account, checking account, travel account thing either. … And I want to live around the world. I’m working seven days a week and I can’t even afford my own place yet. And so the google search began. I’m going to need to work abroad. Working while you travel is literally the smartest thing a person can do. But you can’t do it forever. So with this information. I mean, lets face it – If I moved into New York City when I was 24 years old, I’d be working to pay for my apartment. And even if I stayed home and kept working like I was – I wasn’t saving what I needed to get ahead. If you tell people you work 7 days a week, they don’t see anything wrong with it. I hate that mindset now. SO I looked into it. Have you heard of 0% APR?

Travel tips: Oslo’s trendy new suburb Grünerløkka, and the week’s best deals | Joanne O’Connor | Travel
Why go? It’s been said that when a man is tired of Oslo he’s probably been there for three days. While it’s true the Norwegian capital lacks some of the carefree charm of its Scandinavian neighbours, there are pockets of cool if you know where to look. In the east of the city, once-gritty Grünerløkka has undergone a transformation from rundown industrial district to a vibrant, arty neighbourhood which could give cool Copenhagen or style-savvy Stockholm a run for their money. What to do Spend a day or two exploring the area’s vintage and designer shops and galleries, or rummaging through the stalls at the Birkelunden Sunday fleamarket. Where to stay An affordable option in an expensive city, Overnattingoslo has 64 small, smart rooms with kitchenettes on a quiet street near the tram stop for the city centre (from £112 for a three-night stay in summer, overnattingoslo.no).

The White House invited travel bloggers to a summit
Americans need more international experiences. And apparently, the government is starting to do something about it. Last week, The United States Government invited the world’s most influential travel bloggers to The White House. No, the Obamas were not seeking advice on their next holiday vacation. At least, not while the camera was rolling. The White House Summit for Study Abroad and Global Citizenship, which lasted about four hours and takes as long to say, can be watched here. Topics of discussion ranged from the prohibitive costs of study abroad to the need for Americans to speak more languages to the startlingly low numbers of Americans studying abroad each year. Beneath the layers of well-prepared speeches and gestures of good will, the summit revealed encouraging insight into the government’s awareness and priorities when it comes to the importance of meaningful travel. 1. 2.

Tarihi ve Mimari Doku - Ayasofya Hamam
“Umut ederim ki, zamanın sonuna ve kıyamete dek yaptıklarıma göz gezdirecek temiz yürekli dostlar, çabamdaki ciddiyet ve gayreti öğrendiklerinde; insaflı bir gözle bakıp, beni hayır dualarıyla yad ederler, inşallah.” Mimar Sinan İstanbul'da Ayasofya Müzesi ile Sultanahmet Camii arasında yer alan Türk hamamı; Kanuni Sultan Süleyman'ın eşi Hürrem Sultan tarafından, Mimar Sinan'a 16. yüzyılda (1556 – 1557) Ayasofya'nın yanına, 532 yılında tamamen yıkılan tarihi Zeuksippos Banyoları'nın bulunduğu yere inşa ettirilmiştir. 1910 yılına kadar aktif olarak kullanılan hamam, uzun yıllar kapalı kalmıştır. Sultan Ahmet cezaevinin dolu olduğu zamanlarda mahkumların da tutulduğu hamam, dönem dönem kağıt deposu ve benzin deposu olarak da kullanılmıştır. Klasik devir Osmanlı hamamları üslubundaki yapı, çifte hamam şeklinde ve 75 m uzunluğundadır.
