Five Things To Try On Your Next Vacation

By Mod [ Update ]

Everything you need to live well

Travel is an excellent opportunity to not only get out of the routine of your everyday life but learn, grow and evolve as an individual. By travelling and immersing yourself in a new culture, you learn about the world and ultimately, yourself. Here are five things you should try on your next vacation.


Try the new cuisine

We all get comfortable with the familiar food we eat regularly but a vacation is your opportunity to try the new cuisine offered by the country you are visiting.

On your next trip, resist the urge to look for familiar food and step out of your comfort zone by trying the local food no matter how “bizarre” it may seem. Expand your food palette, try something new.


Connect with the locals

Connecting with the locals is an amazing way to get unbiased insight about the city you are visiting, get great tips on the things to do and hidden gems, and learn about a new culture through interaction.

Be open to meeting new people, especially the locals on your next trip.



Do something adventurous

Challenge yourself to try something new and adventurous when next you venture abroad. Get out of your comfort zone and do something new.

Never zip-lined through a rainforest? Now is the time to do so. Snorkelling, rafting, etc. Do something you haven’t done before, but do not forget to exercise caution as you do so.

Go sightseeing

Go beyond just sitting in your hotel room and venture out into the city. Look for the historical sites, hear the stories behind them and bask in the euphoria of learning something new about the city.

Be curious and open!


Relax

According to InfoMigrants, Nigerian women are at growing risk from traffickers in Germany who exploit and engage them in prostitution. Read the full report below by InfoMigrants. The new prostitute protection law in Germany was meant to identify victims of human trafficking – most of them migrant women. More than 18 months after the law came into effect, thousands continue to be targeted for exploitation, and the risk for Nigerian women seems to be increasing. There are campervans parked by the roadside. Some have hearts painted on them, one says “girls, girls” in red letters. It’s an easy matter for someone to stop for a quick transaction in one of these Love-Mobiles – sex with one of the “girls” in exchange for the going rate. Prostitution is mainly legal in Germany, as are these mobile brothels. But many of the women in the business – including those working from the Love-Mobiles – are victims of illegal human trafficking. Most of the women are from Eastern Europe or Nige...

FULL TEXT: A sacrifice for our new political order – Ezekwesili

“When the ACPN leadership approached me in a series of visits to appeal that I run for office on their platform, the party appeared to be a good fit. It was founded by some disgruntled PDP members some years ago, but when its prime founder decided to return to the PDP, a core of its membership refused to move back with him. I was told that they stayed back because of their opposition to the ways of the PDP. Considering my vocal disapproval of the PDP and the APC, I admired the ACPN’s decision to stand firm and refusal to be co-opted.” It has been an interesting one week since I made the tough but necessary decision to suspend my campaign for the presidency. I have been truly overwhelmed by the reactions to my announcement from Nigerians. Even in airports outside the country as I travelled last week, Nigerians walked up to me with questions, concerns, encouragement, and motivation. I also saw disappointment by some who had poured their hearts and hopes into actualising our mission ...
