Stay Safe And Have Fun During All Your Travel Excursions September 26 2020

Â
If you are a travel enthusiast, you probably jump at any and every opportunity to take a few days off from work and go for mini trips every now and then.
Whether itâs a weekend getaway on the majestic island of Bali or a month-long adventure at Disney World in Orlando, Florida, traveling is always fun and exciting!
However, youâve probably heard travel horror stories from people from all across the globe â horror stories that involve unfortunate incidents like pickpocketing and even daylight robbery.
While you will find friendly and hospitable people in different parts of the world, you are also likely to cross paths with conniving pickpockets and thieves. Tourists and travelers are highly subject to such dangers, and something like this can easily ruin your trip in a matter of seconds.
So, weâve rounded some tips and tricks for you on how to stay safe and make the most of your travel excursions, all at the same time.
Beware of ScamsÂ
If youâve been to Paris or Rome before, you must be familiar with the âfriendship braceletâ story, where someone approaches you and tries to sell you a bracelet. They might even forcefully try to make you wear it on your wrist, which is nothing but a distraction strategy where their coconspirator pickpockets you in the meantime.
It is best to be aware of such scammers, especially out on the streets and public transport because thatâs where they are likely to target you. Trust your gut and if you find something or someone highly suspicious, stay away and make no contact. If they do approach you, politely turn them away. If they get too pushy, though, donât hesitate to raise your voice slightly to show them that you wonât tolerate any of their attempts to scam you.
Wear Travel Safety GearÂ
Thereâs probably nothing worse than losing your cash and important documents in an unfamiliar place. One way to hide these things and keep them safe is by wearing travel safety gear and clothing.
There is a whole variety of safety clothing items for men and women, such as scarves with hidden pockets, tank tops with secret zipper pockets, crew neck t-shirts with hidden pockets, and so many others that keep your things safe from pickpockets.Â
It is best to wear safety gear, especially during those times when youâre out on the streets and have a lot of walking to do.
Resort to the Online World for Fun
When you are in a city like Las Vegas, perhaps, the most obvious thing to do is head to a casino and gamble away for a few hours! However, many people are afraid to go all the way to the cityâs famous casinos or even spend a lot of time outdoors because Las Vegas is kind of a cash-heavy city where pickpockets are very active.
But that doesnât mean you canât have a little gambling fun of your own on the trip! If you want to play it safe, you can simply resort to the online world for fun! There are so many available options, for example, those UK online casinos like Casimba. These are virtual casinos where you play through the internet, and they offer great payouts and an exhilarating gambling experience! If youâre looking to stay safe, stay comfortable, and have a good time, you canât go wrong with online casinos.
Safety and Fun Go Hand-In-HandÂ
Thereâs no fun in trips where you have to constantly worry about your belongings and personal safety! So, use these tips and tricks to your advantage and have a great time on your travel excursions!
Great Travel Destinations for the Tennis Enthusiast October 18 2019
Imagine this: Youâre in a beautiful, sun-soaked setting surrounded by majestic natural beauty. You have no deadlines to meet, no clients to deal with, and no boss to tell you what to do.
Best of all, you have access to world-class tennis courts, private lessons taught by pros, and clinics to help you fine-tune your playing skills. Youâll check out after the experience, not only with cherished memories, but with a new edge to your game.
Sound too good to be true? Not at all. In this post, weâll look at four top-rated destinations for the traveling tennis enthusiast. Each offers a unique blend of restive luxury, athletic intensity, and scenic grandeur. So, without further ado, letâs take a look at the first resort on our list.
Kiawah Island Golf Resort
Donât let the word âgolfâ fool you. This exclusive resort has plenty to challenge and enthrall tennis players, as well as golfers. Located just 25 miles from Charleston, SC, it offers easy access to the renowned Roy Barth Tennis Center. There youâll find 22 courts, 10 of which feature Har-TruÂź clay surfaces for an added challenge.
Looking to improve your game? Private lessons are available from the staff of highly-rated instructors. You can participate in group classes or opt for private lessons, if you prefer. Thereâs even a junior program for younger players.
The tennis is matched only by the areaâs natural beauty. Kiawah is one of SCâs most acclaimed barrier islands, with gorgeous beaches, mild weather, and unforgettable sunsets all year long. Toss in the culture and excitement of nearby Charleston and you can see why Kiawah Island is the destination of choice for discerning tennis enthusiasts.
Gstaad Palace
The playing opportunities here are not quite as broad as they are at Kiawah Island. But the resortâs location more than makes up for this minor deficiency.
To see what we mean, take a gander at the official website. Imagine playing tennis or squash while surrounded by the awe-inspiring beauty of the Alps. What more could you possibly want?
The resort itself is a true âpalaceâ in every sense of the word.  Youâll have access to a splendid array of spas, restaurants, and hammamsâalso known as Turkish baths. Youâll feel like royalty as you savor the sweet alpine air.
The four outdoor courts are open throughout the summer, while winter visitors have access to three excellent indoor courts. Advanced instruction is available. Trust us, this is one destination that belongs at the top of your bucket list.
Thanyapura Sports & Leisure Club
The focus at Thanyapura Sports & Leisure Club is more on âsportsâ than on âleisure.â The curriculum includes week-long training marathons that will test your athleticism and impart new skills.
Youâll also find fitness boot camps, programs for junior players, and private sessions directed by world-class instructors. Youâll check out after your visit with newfound confidence in your abilities.
All of this comes with the warm weather and tropical beauty for which Thailand is famous. All in all, thatâs a great way to spend a vacation.
JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort & Spa
If variety is the spice of life, then JW Marriott is like a bowl of five-alarm chili. Here you can choose from 20 courtsâ15 with traditional surfacing, three with clay bedding, and two with meticulously-maintained grass surfaces.
The training opportunities are no less diverse. You can learn from seasoned pros or test your skills in a round-robin tournament. Or you can just play a causal game with an old friend or new acquaintance. Thereâs no better way for the tennis lover to see Southern California in high style.
Prefer to watch the game instead? Make plans to visit during the annual Indian Wells Master Tournament, which is held each March. Youâll not only have the chance to watch some amazing players, but youâll also be able to show your support for your favorites.
As you can imagine, space is limited at each of the resorts mentioned in this post. So, make your reservations early, then get ready for the tennis adventure of your life. The courts are calling to you.

Fenway Park
Nothing can quite compare to an American summer, which can offer glorious sunshine, diverse landscapes and an exciting baseball season. Few experiences are more exciting than enjoying a cracker jack and peanuts while cheering on your favorite team to victory.
Yet, each US city offers its own sporting traditions, cultures, personalities and jaw-dropping baseball parks, which need to be experienced to be believed.
If you want to embrace your love of the sport in 2019 and beyond, check out the ultimate travel destinations for baseball fans.
Â
Boston, Massachusetts
When sport fans think of great baseball cities, it is likely that Boston springs to mind. After all, it is home to the 104-year-old Fenway Park, which is a standing monument of the gameâs history. Itâs also home to some of the most passionate baseball fans in all of America. In fact, when the Boston Red Sox won the 2004 World Series and finally broke the Curse of the Bambino, itâs fair to say the whole city almost shut down in celebration.
While here, you have to view the iconic Green Monster, which is the 40-foot high, hand-operated scoreboard. Few sporting atmospheres can compare to the buzz of a Red Sox game - and you wonât fail to grab a beer before or after your visit, as youâll find many sports bars along Lansdowne Street, which will be filled with friendly fans.

Kansas City, Missouri
Kansas City might be a small US city in Missouri, but it makes up for its size with a huge passion for baseball. The MLB team have been hailed the winners of the World Series championship title twice in their history, and fans will happily relive the 1985 and 2015 glory with you upon request.
The city is also home to the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum, which is a privately funded attraction that is dedicated to preserving the history of negro league baseball in the United States. It is, therefore, worth a visit for those who want to learn more about the sport.
Plus, with its signature barbecue dishes, unique history and a friendly Midwestern charm, you can guarantee youâll have a fun trip to this beautiful and interesting city.
Â
Chicago, Illinois
Another city that steeped in baseball history is, of course, Chicago. It is home to a well-known rivalry that dates way back to 1906, as youâll find the Chicago Cubs on the North Side and the White Sox on the South Side.
They Cubs and White Sox arenât only rivaling each other, they are also fiercely competitive with other Midwest teams, such as the St. Louis Cardinals, Detroit Tigers and Cincinnati Reds. You also cannot visit Chicago and not step foot inside the Cubâs home of Wrigley Field, which was built way back in 1914 and is the second oldest ballpark in the majors after Bostonâs Fenway Park.
So, if you want to embark on a baseball-inspired trip this year, the above destinations will not disappoint.
