The Cocora Valley has numerous hiking trails. One wrong turn and visitors are easily get lost within the mountain ranges. The area known for wild pumas, bears, and other intriguing creatures. After discussing with our host the night before, we were recommended to take La Cascada, a seldom hiked trail crossing bridges, into forests, over the top of a mountain, and bypassing the many ticketing stations.

Rajasthan is a beautiful state north-west of India. With a vibrant culture and varying landscapes, it remains one of my favorite destinations. Within the geographically large state, a number of cities have become famous tourist attractions.

Iceland is a beautiful Scandinavian country that sits between the tip of Europe and the edge of North America. The World’s Happiest Report has continuously ranked the country at top, serving as evidence that Iceland is a potent tourist haven.

Los Angeles did not fail to amuse. Within a day of my arrival, I’ve witnessed the transaction between a movie scout and an aspiring actress in downtown Hollywood, the attempted suicide of a man atop a 40-story building, the numerous homeless folks along the tourist-filled blvds and the massive celebrity mansions in the secured streets of Beverly Hills.
