5 Intriguing Travel Destinations You've Never Heard Of

Did you know  that there is a small village in Norway called Longyearbyen, where dying is actually prohibited? The reason for this is that the permafrost in the area is so cold that bodies buried there do not decompose, and as a result, they can still contain diseases that could potentially spread to the living. Therefore, if someone is terminally ill in Longyearbyen, they are flown out to the mainland to spend their final days. Did you know that there is a remote island off the coast of Brazil called Ilha da Queimada Grande, which is home to one of the world's deadliest snakes, the golden lancehead viper? This venomous snake, which is endemic to the island, is so dangerous that the Brazilian government has made it illegal for anyone to visit the island, except for a few select researchers who have special permission. Did you know that there is a town in Japan called Nagoro, where there are more scarecrows than humans? The town's population has been declining for years, a

Flight Myths: The Truth About Finding Affordable Airfare

By Muzz
Finding cheap flights can seem like a daunting task, but with the right tools and strategies, it's definitely possible. However, there are some myths about finding cheap flights that need to be busted.


Myth #1: Booking on certain days of the week will get you the best deals.

Many people believe that booking flights on a certain day of the week will get them the best deals, but this is not always the case. While some studies have shown that Tuesdays and Wednesdays are the best days to book flights, there is no definitive answer. In fact, prices can fluctuate from day to day and even hour to hour, so it's important to keep an eye on prices over a period of time.

Myth #2: Clearing your browser history or using incognito mode will get you lower prices.

This is a common myth, but it's not true. Airlines use sophisticated algorithms to set prices, and they don't base them on whether or not you've been searching for flights. Clearing your browser history or using incognito mode won't make any difference to the price you pay for your flight.

Myth #3: Connecting flights are always cheaper than direct flights.

While connecting flights can sometimes be cheaper than direct flights, this is not always the case. Sometimes, airlines offer direct flights at a discounted price, making them a better option. It's always a good idea to compare prices for both direct and connecting flights before making a decision.

Myth #4: Booking far in advance is always the cheapest option.

While it's true that booking in advance can sometimes get you a better deal, it's not always the case. Airlines often offer last-minute deals to fill empty seats, so it's worth checking prices close to your travel date as well. Having said that, booking in advance after researching is still a wiser option.

Myth #5: Budget airlines are always the cheapest option.

While budget airlines can sometimes offer lower prices than traditional airlines, this is not always the case. Once you factor in things like baggage fees and seat selection fees, the price difference may not be as significant as you thought. It's always a good idea to compare prices for both budget and traditional airlines.

In conclusion, finding cheap flights requires a combination of research, flexibility, and patience. By avoiding these common myths and using the right tools and strategies, you can find great deals on flights and save money on your next trip.

Travel Photography and Rule of Thirds

Travel is an opportunity to discover new places, meet new people, and capture memories that will last a lifetime. As a travel photographer, it's important to create images that not only showcase the beauty of your destination, but also tell a story and capture the essence of the experience. One tool that can help you achieve this is the rule of thirds. In travel photography, the rule of thirds can be especially useful for capturing the essence of a location and telling a story through your images. For example, you might use the rule of thirds to position the horizon of a scenic landscape along one of the horizontal lines, or to align the subject of a portrait along one of the vertical lines. This creates a more dynamic and interesting image, as the eye is naturally drawn to the points of intersection. As you can see in the photo above the subject's shoulders point is at intersecting lines. It doesn't necessarily has to be shoulders at intersecting lines. It can be head or e
