Visited the World!

The past few weeks have been an exhilarating journey through old, new and wild countries and cities out there, which we have had the fortunate pleasure of going on with you, our readers!


We have visited numerous different and unique countries located across the world, starting in the busy and well loved America and ending in beautiful and relaxing Island destinations. Here is a summary of the places we have travelled through ordered by continents;

North America
• USA
• Canada


South America
• Brazil
• Chile


Europe
• France
• Finland


Africa
• South Africa


Asia
• Vietnam
• The Philippines
• Japan


Oceania
• New Zealand


Islands
• Fiji
• St Martins


We ran two polls to establish which countries were you wanted visit the most. I am excited to announce that the final results are in! There was a tie between Canada and the United States of America for first place, followed closely by a tie between Finland and Vietnam for second place. A big thanks goes out to all those who took time out to vote!


I hope you all have enjoyed this experience as much as we have and continue to travel the world whether physically or through other’s tales and photos.



Remember, the world is here to explore and is full of wonderful places to visit and adventures to go on!

Sunny Side Up - St Martin, Caribbean Islands

This spectacular island beauty is located midway through the chain of islands in the Caribbean.


It is sunny and warm year-round, which means awesome summer glow 24/7! When you are not rocking it out at the beach, you can relax among the many cafes and excellent restaurants.


It is the smallest island in the world ever to have been partitioned between two different nations with the signing of the Treaty of Concordia. St. Martin/St. Maarten has been shared by the French and the Dutch in a spirit of neighbourly cooperation and mutual friendship for almost 350 years. Both sides maintain their rich culture, so the best part of going there is that you can not only walk across the island in a day, but it will be like walking across 2 very different countries.


By day explore the French side, St Martin, which emphasizes comfort and elegance. The beaches are secluded, the luxury resorts provide lavish accommodations, the divine restaurants offer the finest dining experiences and plentiful shops and markets await.





At night join the Dutch sides, St. Maarten, festivities. It is more developed but has an informal feel to daily life and is known as an active centre for trade and tourism. I would definitely suggest trying some of the exotic drinks made with the native rum-based guava berry liquors and trying your luck at the stunning casinos.




It is an ideal island to chillax on!

It’s definitely on the list of top 10 places to go!
