Lonely Planet

Do you like to travel? Do you read Lonely Planet?

One day as it was pouring down raining in South-eastern Madagascar, I read the ENTIRE Madagascar book. Every single page. I had nothing else to do :)  Did you ever notice that there is a section that asks for your feedback about the area??

Well, I then made a list of all of the restaurants and hotels that I had been my favorite in Fort Dauphin and I just emailed them. I then got online and emailed it to them. They list all of the people who helped them in the next book they publish. I also got 35% off my next purchase!!!

I strongly suggest you check it out the next time you travel. It will help the next traveler and you might even get a reward out of it :)

Speaking of traveling, I constantly am asked what my favorite place is that I've visited this year. This is hard because each place is great in its own way.

If I was wanting to go on a honeymoon or romantic get-a-way then I would definitely say Santorini, Greece FOR SURE. So beautiful and lots to do around the area.

If I wanted to visit the Africa and see lemurs - DUH Madagascar :) There is nowhere else in the world that you can do this and for the most part, the people are peaceful and hilarious.

Casually talking to other researchers and BAM ring-tailed lemur flies through the trees :)

For the history aspect and sightseeing - I loved Athens and Olympia in Greece. So much history and the food was so delicious. I also really like England though. I could be bias because my ancestors are from here, but it's been great seeing their tombstones and learning more about my family history.

A place that I wouldn't mind visiting year after year - Italy hands down! Beautiful people, history, and food/wine!!! Everyone needs to visit Italy.

Florence. 


As you can see, I can't decide on one place as my favorite :)
