]]> When you go on a beach vacation, you will probably see some people surfing. Maybe they’re pros, or you might even see groups of beginners go out and take lessons. Either way, surfing can seem like a really daunting activity that is only meant for people who are super athletic or have a deep love for the ocean. While this is a great sport for people who fit this description, it can also be a really great activity for those just looking for some fun on a beach vacation!

There are so many reasons to sign up for surfing lessons, but one of the greatest ones is to simply challenge yourself. When was the last time you tried something new that you knew you would be bad at in the beginning? If you’re like the rest of the world, it has probably been a while. Surfing is a great way to let yourself fail and get back up. You will build resilience, and when you finally stand up on that board, you will feel so much better because you truly worked hard to get there.

There’s also a calming aspect to sitting on a board waiting for the perfect wave. Even if you spend the whole lesson without success in standing up, you’ll walk away feeling proud of yourself for trying and rejuvenated from being in flow with the water.

]]> Many view Amsterdam as a place for its recreational activities and not much more. However, Amsterdam has much more to see than just the coffee shops and boats. This Dutch city is vibrant with a rich cultural history, so here are our top activities to do in Amsterdam. 

Van Gogh Museum 

The Van Gogh Museum is one of Amsterdam’s most popular attractions, as it draws over a million visitors a year. Take a slow and easy pace as you enter the world of Van Gough and explore over 200 paintings, 500 drawings, and letters. The museum has the complete story of the artist, the context, and some of Van Gogh’s ambitions, emotions, and limitations. 

Glow-in-the-dark Mini Golf 

Play a game of mini-golf with your friends as a perfect afternoon activity in Amsterdam. Enter a pirates and villains-themed course and see how good you are at mini-golf in the dark with neon fluorescent lights. Especially if the weather takes a turn for the worst, mini-golf is the perfect activity for everyone, young or old. 

Anne Frank Museum 

The Anne Frank House is one of Amsterdam’s most important museums. It highlights the importance of remembering the Holocaust and the atrocities that came with it—located in the house where Anne Frank and her family hid from Nazis during World War II. The museum allows guests to explore Anne’s life and her family, emphasizing what it was like during that period as a Jew. The museum also includes artifacts from her time in hiding. It’s a really special place to check out whilst you’re there.

]]> The capital of the Emilia-Romagna region in Northern Italy, Bologna is known for being lively and historic. It is full of monuments, landmarks, and structures that are incredibly interesting. If you’re planning a trip there anytime soon, here are three of the things that you must do during your visit.

Take a Walk Around Piazza Maggiore

Located right in the center of the city, the Piazza Maggiore is an important historical location with a number of interesting buildings in it including the Pallazo d’Accursio, the Palazzo del Podesta, the Basilica di San Petronio and the Palazzo Comunale. A walk around it is a must when visiting Bologna, especially if you can catch one of the open-air movies or concerts that they sometimes hold.

Visit the Archiginnasio

Once operating as one of the main buildings of the University of Bologna, the Archiginnasio now houses the Anatomical Theater, a fascinating all-wood room full of medical statues and an anatomical table where university students would have once learned about anatomy and watched surgery demonstrations.

Buy Something at La Piazzola Market

A historic market that has been held for hundreds of years, the La Piazzola Market is still as popular as ever among tourists and locals alike. With over 400 stalls selling everything from clothes to flowers to pottery to food to spices, the atmosphere is interesting enough even if you don’t end up making a purchase.

]]> Known for its cornfields and grassy plains, Nebraska may not be the first state to come to mind when you think of stunning water scenery. But although it doesn’t have any beaches, it is home to a number of stunning lakes. Here are some of the best lakes in Nebraska that you should pay a visit to.

Lewis and Clark Lake, Cedar County

Located in the northwest of the state, this is a popular tourist destination. The 13,000-hectare lake is great for camping, hiking, and horse trails.

Lake McConaughy, Keith County

This enormous 14,000-hectare lake is the largest in the state. It is an excellent spot for windsurfing, swimming, and fishing. You can camp around the area and there are plenty of picnic areas if you fancy a spot for lunch.

Harlan County Reservoir, Harlan County

This is one of the best lakes to visit if you’re a nature lover. The area is full of beavers, eagles, and whitetail deer. It is also a prime fishing spot; you can catch catfish, white bass, pike, and much more.

Glenn Cunningham Lake, Douglas County

This is an ideal spot for outdoor activities—there are plenty of hiking trails, tracks for horseriding, cycling spots, and campsites.

]]> The Egyptian region between Africa and Asia, the Sinai Peninsula is known for its good weather, affordable prices, and being a gateway to the region. If you choose to give Sinai a visit, here are some things you can do.

Sharm El Sheikh

This resort town is Sinai’s fastest-growing travel destination. It’s all about sun, sea, and sand, but without the sky-high prices of other typical beachy resort towns. You can get around on the main highway, Peace Road, by minibus or taxi.

Ras Mohammed National Park

One of the best diving sites in the world, the Ras Mohammed National Park is great for boat tours, snorkeling, and deep-sea diving alike, as it serves as home to more than one thousand species of fish, marine animals, and coral.

St Catherine’s Monastery

Tucked right under Mount Sinai, St Catherine’s Monastery is full of gorgeous, ancient art and even a community of Greek Orthodox monks.

Mount Sinai

Known in Judaism, Islam, and Christianity as the place where Moses received the Ten Commandments from God, Mount Sinai is a popular site for religious pilgrimage. There are two ways—one steep and one not-so-steep—to climb up the mountain. Alternatively, you can also take a camel ride to the top.
