2010-11-13T14:35:00.000+08:00

If you want your dog to be a pleasant traveling companion, start by answering these questions: Enjoy your dog in good health? You will enjoy the trip? Have trouble being accepted into the place you go on vacation?

If you can answer with a yes "to these questions, your dog used to riding in a car. Ideally, puppy accustomed to travel. Take it for a drive not only when it leads to the veterinarian. If your dog comes to associate car rides with trips to the veterinarian that your pet can be a passenger becomes problematic.

Start taking it to short walks every day, even a walk around the block, and gradually increase the distance traveled. If you discover that your dog is not suited to short walks is better for both you and your dog, you have a person responsible for it or try to hold a special harness (alternatively, the small cage) . If you choose the second option, book the little cage prior to travel, particularly in summer or around the long holidays.
Make sure you travel before your dog's vaccinations are current, so your pet will have the opportunity to develop their immunity. Take health certificates and rabies vaccination.

You may need when traveling by plane, it crosses boundaries and can be requested if your pet shipped as cargo. To ensure protection against heartworm, ask your veterinarian if the mosquito season begins earlier or ends later in the area to which you go on vacation. Take the drug against filaria and / or the necessary medicines that your dog may need to have during the holidays.

If your dog is prone to rot in the car and have to carry on a long trip, ask your veterinarian for suggestions, as long as afecatrán travel in the same way.

If you are not sure that the place where you can travel to maintain the diet that your dog is used, keep a supply. This will prevent digestive upsets can be caused by a sudden change of diet.

In addition to food and water bowls, your dog will need his team of hairdressers. Bring not only your brush, comb or brush glove, but also as an alternative dry shampoo for bubble bath.

Always make sure your dog is wearing the ID tag with name, owner name, address, phone number and even zip code, and, if possible, address in place of vacation and the number of phone.

Travel, remember to always take color photos and a description with a description of the weight, height, color and markings. If your dog is lost, following these guidelines can help you see.

Material and equipment to carry on day trips outside

2010-10-29T12:53:00.000+08:00

Although a departure from a day outdoors to practice hiking, trekking, mountaineering, camping, etc. is not an issue scanning or much less, and by definition usually develop near the city, not be overlooked that some planning regarding equipment, first aid and supplies to be carried for the journey. This is equally true if we organize the tour we are (in a particular group) or we will be guided by a professional guide in the context of a group gathered through an agency or multisport adventure activities.

The first is to consider the material, equipment or equipment necessary to maintain security (protection against inclement weather, means of guidance and proper accident prevention activity) and provide first aid (primary healing of the injury or the most common injuries waiting for medical intervention).

You have to remember is that accidents happen everywhere, and although they are less likely to occur the less last march, and will be less severe in its consequences is the closer to a place where they can receive medical help , rescue or proper disposal, it is also true that the possibility of accidents is reduced even further if we care to eliminate as many risks as it is in our hands, and avoid all that we can not remove.

Thus, not only will reduce the possibility of accidents, but we will avoid wasting resources on mobilizing search and rescue operations to fix minor mishaps ourselves that had not been anticipated, may require outside help.

2010-09-28T12:23:00.000+08:00

The people of Burma called home with the name of Myanmar in their language means "hard and fast" and represents all the people that make up your hand and not only the Burmese, they adamantly opposed to call Burma, as we know it because the English to colonize it and named it, and because it is so strong that people desire to erase from history forever the dark past of the British colonial era.

Anywhere in the country can breathe the air deep sacred Buddhist philosophy in its orthodox or Theravada branch, and perceived the concepts of life and our existence in this world completely different than we do in the West. We dazzled the Shwedagon Pagoda and Sule Paya in Yangon, which were the center of the uprising by Buddhist monks a few years ago, known in the West as "saffron revolution" and the statue of the Reclining Buddha in Bago Shwethalyaung. We are impressed by the devotion of the faithful of the Golden Rock in Kyaiktiyo in Mon State and the Temple of Mahamuni Paya in Mandalay.

Know the hard life of Buddhist monks in the monasteries of the country, the beauty of the villages around Inle Lake with its floating gardens, and the customs and lifestyles of different ethnic minorities of Burma side of the Golden Triangle in Keng Tung in Shan State.

We are surprised by the existence in this world of an archaeological site completely unknown to Westerners, as Hpo Win Caves Daung, Monywa, compared to their artistic value may be only with the Petra in Jordan, where thousands of Buddha images and temples were excavated entirely of sandstone, both temples, like the images inside in them. And we'll stay completely in love with the timeless beauty of the temples of Bagan with its splendid Ananda Temple with four huge statues of Buddha severe and smiling at the same time, probably the best Buddhist temple in the world .

In the distant enigmatic Arakan State (Rakhine) in the western part of the country discover the magnificent temples of the ancient capital of Mrauk U, the remains of the kingdom of Vesalius and have a unique opportunity to visit a village in the remote tattooed women of the Chin State .

TRAVELING WITH CHEAP FLIGHTS

2010-08-29T12:32:00.000+08:00

Despite the offers of cheap flights or travel are increasingly striking, it is always advisable to compare, before those weekend trips, the range of cheap flight deals available and choose not only flights or voyages economic, but also the most convenient, including offers traditional travel agencies.

Flights and cheap travel

Lion Air of Indonesia, a cheap flights

The aviation market or economic cheap travel has become one of the most dynamic sectors of the economy both at domestic and international flights, but also one of the most discussed, as the extension of cheap travel deals and cheap flights can also get to confuse and disappoint more often than not.

Choose travel and cheap flights

Despite potential drawbacks, competition from cheap travel deals and cheap flights is very strong, with airlines constantly diversifying their services and competing with increasingly aggressive advertising for each air travel possible for the ideal order these dream vacation week or end of the year, among others.

Thus, it is possible to observe that a large majority of airline websites who base their week in this type of budget travel cheap or offer car rental services, hotels, tourist transportation and even closed packages in place destination.

Before choosing cheaper deals or economic, search and compare prices. After having several flight options with low cost carriers or conventional, you should ask recomedandas known or agencies, because in spite of charging a fee, they also provide experiences and information of interest to compare between supply and economic benefits.

Consider the opportunities or cheap programs based on "low cost", however its benefits usually involve some inconvenience to passengers, such as:

Board often secondary airports away from cities.
The precariousness of the number of public transport from these airports to the center of the city.
The attention given to the traveler and even the closure of customer service offices in destination places.
Before you choose should read the conditions or rules of passage conditions in case of cancellations (if they are allowed in the rate), changes, disease, disability, bankruptcy of the company, complaints, etc.

Plan your vacation in advance, taking into account the non-peak days, or before or after holidays or celebrations. With a shorter term, it is advisable to visit the section last minute and last minute vacancies.

Check facts and location of the headquarters of the company, as many offices in places only call center or sales units. This is very important in the case of claims, missed connections and cancellations, where in addition to red tape, language can be a barrier.

Travel advice for South East Asia

2010-02-07T21:20:00.001+08:00

A trip to Southeast Asia raises many questions to most tourists. Disease, precautions, safety and other tips.

Southeast Asia is one of the regions with highest number of tourist attractions. The low level of economic development and the ignorance of many claim, however, many questions to travelers who fear diseases, insecurity and unwanted encounters with dangerous animals.
General tips for traveling to Southeast Asia

Literature and movies have always portrayed Southeast Asia as a mysterious and exotic but also dangerous. But Southeast Asia is a quite safe when taken some basic precautions.

First, you should learn about the countries they visit. It has nothing to do with Burma to Thailand, Vietnam or Malaysia. Each country, its culture and history, has reached a different level of development and the contrasts are remarkable.

Second, you should let the fear at home. The people of Southeast Asia are usually calm and hospitable, so it generally is safe to travel to any corner of the region, including solo.
Diseases in Southeast Asia. Vaccines

Before embarking on a trip to Southeast Asia, it is advisable to go to international vaccination center to see what treatment is needed by region and vaccines has already been put before the traveler. They normally hepatitis, typhoid and tetanus.

The word malaria is the next thing that comes to mind of the tourist. Also known as malaria, malaria is a disease transmitted by mosquitoes commonly found in jungle areas and most of the Mekong River. Some doctors recommend taking prophylaxis to prevent infection, but without doubt the most effective is to be very careful about mosquito bites, wearing long-sleeved long night and your feet covered and use insect repellent.

Do not forget that in Southeast Asia there is also risk of dengue, a disease also relayed by mosquitoes that bite during the day, and whose treatment is much more problematic than malaria.

Dangerous animals in Southeast Asia
Certainly there are many dangerous animals in Southeast Asia. While most travelers think of tigers or other predators, the truth is that these animals avoid populated areas and is not normally come across them but made excursions into the jungle in the tourist trails.

They are more dangerous small animals such as snakes or scorpions, you can easily find in towns and cities of medium size. Avoid a bite is as simple as wearing long pants and boots if you are walking through jungle area and never put your hand in places where no one knows what there is, as they often seek shelter in the recesses. It is also advisable to leave shoes upside down so that no beast can hide in them.

If you encounter one, it is best not to panic and call someone local who usually know what to do in those situations.

Insecurity in Asia
Southeast Asia is generally a safe area. However, there are certain areas of conflict such as the temple of Preah Vihear, northern Cambodia, the area of Mindanao in the Philippines or some parts of Burma. The capitals are safe places, where you can get information on each of the regions to be visited.

Another problem may be security against theft. Although there are more frequent than in any European capital may increase in tourist areas. It is best to wear skin-tight bags and avoid night, less traveled places.
Weather and other problems in Southeast Asia

Another of the great questions of tourists terms of climate, especially for the annual visit of the famous monsoon, the period of heavy rains lashing several parts of Southeast Asia. It is convenient to find out when it affects every country and follow some simple tips, like wearing a raincoat always up and go out when the rain is very intense.

Get on the train in Italy

2010-01-27T21:16:00.001+08:00

Italy has always been a favorite destination for travelers from the Americas, due to its historical legacy and his exquisite taste. And also because it is a country that is easy to travel by train.

When traveling alone through the country, always buy first class tickets. Although the second class is quite acceptable in high-speed tilting trains will go to north and south of the country, the first class is even better if you just want to enjoy the wonderful views of Italian landscapes. In local and regional services, it is best for you is the first class.

The most frequent routes are from Rome to Florence (with fast and frequent services) and Venice (wonderful views). And it's good to know that if it lands in Rome from North America, Fiumcino Airport is quite far from the city, but is well connected by the train Leonardo da Vinci. You can also address this train with Italy Pass (only first class and uses a single day trip).

As on all trains in Europe, some have the option of free choice of seats, while others require reservations. But there is no worry if you purchased your ticket with Rail Europe. We offer a pre-assigned seat whenever possible. And if not, means you can sit where you like. If you already have a pass and know where you are traveling, we will notify you when you need a pre-assigned seat and we will reserve one.

Italy's railway network is well connected to the rest of Europe: from Milan and Turin, Le Frecce travels through the Alps to Lyon and the TGV arrives in Paris. The incredibly comfortable trains connect Italy with Switzerland Cisalpino (Florence and Venice to Geneva or Zurich are the most popular routes). If traveling at night, go even further: The Elipsos takes you from Milan to Barcelona, Milan or Venice Thello connects with Paris. You can also use the CityNightLine, which transports it to different cities of northern Europe. You will rest in a comfortable cabin, well equipped with private bathroom and shower.

Travelling around Italy by train is just wonderful: There's nothing more romantic than a delicious lasagna in the dining car, after leaving Rome. Then go through the fishing villages, admiring as the sun sets in the Mediterranean Sea. A good tip: If you're in Bari, take a fast ferry to Dubrovnic in Croatia and complements your trip to Italy.

Ten curious to know before traveling to Holland

2010-01-21T20:44:00.000+08:00

Seem obvious, but many are not. I provide a list of curiosities with tourist profile to know when traveling to the Netherlands. Many of them will be very useful to anticipate the surprises that we can bring a country so exhilarating that has managed to survive in an area not always easy:

1. A country literally under: started the ride with some geographical questions. If your spouse travels bound for the Netherlands and your ticket says "Destination Holland", not to worry, this is the same country, which has two official names. In addition, the Netherlands is a destination that has large areas below sea level, which does not mean you need to take a dive team, by default. The Netherlands' highest point of barely 323 meters high.

2. A festival of shapes and colors. Holland with its cities and landscapes, despite being a small country, has a style and a feature that makes it unique, a harmony of combinations, shapes and colors that leave box forever etched in the memory of every visitor.

3. The country of bicycles. I mentioned in a previous post: The Netherlands is the country with more bicycles in circulation per capita in the world, with almost two bicycles per car. There will an extensive network of cycle paths over 15,000 kilometers.

4. Easy communication. The Dutch language is not widespread, but is useful in the northern regions of Europe including France, in addition to opening the doors in more remote areas such as Surinam, the Netherlands Antilles and Aruba. For if the Dutch sounds like we Chinese do not need to worry about. Almost all Dutch people speak a foreign language.

5. The land of the windmills. The windmills are so characteristic of much more than an old postcard: about 1,000 still remain original windmills, so do not miss a tour of a photo collection.

6. The country of museums: The Netherlands has a paradise for lovers of history, art and culture in general, with more than 1,000 museums in its small territory. Only in Amsterdam can have 22 paintings by Rembrandt and 206 great works of Van Gogh.

7. Passion for flowers. Giving flowers is classic but not very original: in Holland, the passion for flowers is such that each household has a bouquet of fresh flowers every day decorating a room.

8. A corner of the world. In Amsterdam it will not be unusual to find a resident of our own nationality, when the country is populated by groups of about 200 nations of the planet, with a multicultural and cosmopolitan air.

9. The city of bridges. If Venice is the city of canals, Amsterdam could also be the city of bridges: In the city there are about 1281 bridges across each channel.

10. Proposals stimulants. Finally, in the Netherlands, always tend to the temptation to move away from the traditional. As for accommodation, there are options that take away from the classic: it is possible to stay in an authentic castle, or even sleep in a barrel of wine, provided with little time for boredom.

In general, of France, more pure, more so that you can, and sometimes, if you care about the fair, please only comment you can get a ticket and airfare.

14 Tips for backpacking through Europe, without much money

2010-01-07T18:44:00.001+08:00

To travel from my research on this topic, all I did, this means these 14 tips on how to best price, free gifts, reduced costs, and so preserved.

Tip 1: Determine the time to travelIn Europe, most people want in the late spring and summer travel. Travel in these times has advantages and disadvantages. If you are very young, you make friends. There are young people with backpacks be everywhere. It is warm and friendly. There are also events, concerts and festivals of all kinds for many cities in Europe. In particular, is an excellent time to visit the Mediterranean. There are also beautiful and fun places like Valencia, Naples. And also beautiful cities like Dubrovnik in Croatia in the Adriatic. It must be emphasized. Not only the countries of the European Union are beautiful.

Everything is more expensive. There are masses. It may happen that you do not take the train because there is no quota. This sometimes happens in Spain, especially in August when the summer holidays begin. Can be difficult to find even hostels. You can find backpackers planning to go to a city, and were stranded in another, because there is no accommodation.

Regarding the economy, it may be cheaper to visit Europe and later on winter. Stay attractions, entertainment and also a few other places as snow. In cases such as accommodation, services are still of better quality, because there are fewer people. And still other backpackers to share with those experiences. However, if you can only travel in the summer, in the following paragraphs you will find helpful tips.

Tip 2: What places to visit, so it is cheaperThe countries are not major cities. While many people want to go to Paris, London, Rome, other cities, less expensive and offer too many familiar landmarks. If you do not have much money, it is preferable to visit the most expensive cities (Florence, Venice, Paris, London, etc..) For about three or four days and then go to other less known sites from the same countries.

For example, if one thinks of the Czech Republic, the first thing that comes to mind is Prague. Prague, although it is an expensive city compared to London or Paris, it is in other Czech towns also attractive in comparison. For example, Olomouc in Moravia or Brno, with historic sites, castles (more than a thousand!) And the beautiful scenery. They are also economically sensible places near cities are also places like Vienna.

The most expensive city in Europe, London. It should be noted that its currency, the pound sterling, equivalent to one euro and fifty cents or so. Against this background, a light breakfast in London is € 6 (£ 4), while cost in Barcelona, a breakfast with the same features have a price of 4 €. It should be noted that among the major cities, Madrid, surprisingly low prices compared with London or Paris.

Tip 3: Finding the best airfare
At first, especially on the Internet, some may seem expensive airfares. Do not be discouraged be. Normally, no discounts direct purchases and certain facilities. And although the best thing is to buy a ticket travel agent to give, from time to time, the sides of the airlines to be useful, because sometimes there are special offers (some of them only if you buy online), or payment facilities, particularly in winter. Some of them consist of a return flight at low cost if the return trip on a certain date (sometimes half, sometimes three weeks, etc..) Is carried out.

However, the most ever for a travel agency. In them, you generally hear a lady or young lady. From the beginning was friendly with her. This may sound obvious, but it is important to bear in mind, because at one point, she will be one of your strongest supporters for your trip.

if you not have much money, such as budget accounts, the places to visit and how long you want. It does not matter how you travel in December and in July the following year. Also, tickets are cheaper than more in advance are purchased, the travel agent will be considered if there are deals, when packets "good, nice and cheap", etc.. You need to talk to from time to time and you do not one but two or three travel agencies to a minimum. But I'm always friendly and tries to tell her to leave your mind. Try to spread your enthusiasm. That always helps, basically for two reasons:
1. She is in the best possible (and cheaper) to find it for you. To a large extent depends on our dream of the journey, how it works.
2. In general, with their contacts, they can advise and guide you to get things beyond strictly with tickets: they can talk with other travelers experiences in relation to food, clothing and agricultural situations, say associations (teachers, students, professionals, etc ..) that could be useful, travel insurance, get discounts, etc.

Well, if you still want to see more facilities plan that is another thing you can do, find a relative or family member, whose job requires air travel continuously. I know this may sound crazy, but sometimes they work travelers who collect as many miles in order to manage discounts or free tickets. You can negotiate with them and so a cheap ticket. Finally, losing a free airline tickets, even internationally, its charm, if you will not be used. For these people it is sometimes better money. A trip I took to the U.S., for example, I buy my ticket in this way

Looking at the agencies and the Internet, I was surprised that there was no air travel to Europe much more expensive. Finally, try to get a plane ticket, go to the the flight back at a cheaper price includes. This is very important, because who knows? Maybe you want to stay longer because your budget still provides for a little longer.

Tip 4: Choosing a hostel always share the rent of an apartment for a month and trains as a shelter
Many young people do not even go to know that there is a possibility of housing or the famous "Bed and Breakfast". The hostel is the cheapest way, because it usually costs 12-20 dollars per night. Sure, you share a room with other people (sometimes four, sometimes three, sometimes six) and have free breakfast (juice, cereal, milk, bread with butter and jam, fruit, chocolate, coffee, etc..). There are independent hostels and youth hostels.

These global organizations a level of quality in almost all hostels in them. This hostel in one of them in the country, that is, run, would be provided with good service. Clean rooms, security (though you must take precautions), clean bathrooms (which I had been to Paris very well and the shower was in my own room), internet, bar, reading room, smoking, cooking, place rest, information, phone numbers and so on. This requires you to buy a card from one of these organizations in any travel agency. This card is cheap and includes a book with all B in the world (the organization that you join) and a notebook with bonuses and discounts for museums, restaurants.

Many hostels have itnernet sites, you will find the hostel that best suits your needs. And you have to consider that even in the hotels you book. The hostel will save you money, gives you the opportunity to friends, swap tips with fellow travelers to meet and coexist with other cultures or country to find people or people to speak your language.

One important thing about hostels is find one that is close to a supermarket and a subway station. You can load your food without long lines and take advantage of the hostel kitchen for sale. And for the subway, well, usually after a long day of walking is not very pleasant to have to reach for a few minutes walk to the hostel to rest awhile.

Apartments for Rent: There is another possibility: if you know someone studying a doctorate or master, ask him for a month, you share a part of the cost of floor jacks and so in this city on the trip. For example, if you know someone who would share with those in Madrid, the bottom one or two months (the cheapest price you pay 250-300 € per month approx) move from there to other cities by train or plane. This option can be attractive if the journey will be long. In this case it is better to be in a city with many attractions, which you know. Madrid is a good example of how a city cheap (much cheaper than in Paris), but .. with many beautiful and attractive, and thus a move to Paris, Barcelona, Lisbon, Seville, etc. In the case of Spain, one can conclude that it accept many Mexican students in the summer, that others share their stories in July and August.

Your Pass to sleep. Sometimes, to save, you can use the hostel way to train while you move from one city to another. Travel at night is recommended, except in certain sections, where the landscape can be beautiful (in Switzerland, for example). Trains usually more desirable, so that travel in a single country, the Intercity. The German Inter City are striking and very comfortable. The Dutch trains are. How far the comforting sort out shower? At some stations there are public showers. The quality varies greatly from one city to another. In Holland, for example, the showers are very clean, even the toilets, the individual is and the cost does not exceed € 2. In other cities such as Prague and some Italian, quality is generally poor, so avoid if you can try to bathe or wear sandals safe there, pull you when you leave the bathroom.

Preferably, try to travel on numbered seat to rest and stretch your legs. No matter who is in second grade (over 30-year-olds can not buy tickets second class, only the first). Usually when you are traveling alone or with another person can travel in a closet can be uncomfortable if it runs for another four people in a heap, as it is the most appropriate place. Instead, a trip from Paris to Amsterdam in the second car, but in regular seats, I could almost lie down and sleep comfortably all night.

Tip 5: Collect all possible information sites to visitTravel is important is where the word "information is power". If you can, you should gradually guide to some cities you plan to travel to buy. For me, for example, buy a road map for London has helped me to know all of "The City" in the British capital. An example. In this guide, took a bus at Victoria station will cover the same locations as the buses "sightseeing". As simple boarded the car and went down in every place you want to know. From Trafalgar Square to Westminster Abbey, etc.. Well, if you want to spend on this, as the Internet and advice they can give to other travelers. What counts is to be so well informed as possible.

Well, if you do not want money to buy the book or have not only want to spend, you can use public libraries and universities and ask for guidelines from several countries. There will save the information you want, copy it and another source that will help you given the same information at the tourist information. You ask (usually free) for a map and there you will see what happens underground lines or transport through the main.

Tip 6: Make contact with people or friends in EuropeThing that can help to have contacts in Europe. There will always be a friend of an aunt of a friend, an acquaintance in Brussels, Rome, Amsterdam, etc. and do not forget your internet friends.

Tip 7: Planning the most important (the first goal and the budget)
One of the most important things is to plan your day on the plane. While you are using more pre-booking your flight, the cheaper. If you can plan to go to Europe in June and reservations will be expensive. Another thing you should do is the first hostel or hotel arrive you will have are reserved. That is, have a safe destination to visit in the first city that you want. Knowing that you are nowhere to sleep that night. Therefore, it may be able to improvise, or keep a schedule.

Another thing, can (and should) plan, the maximum daily budget. Accurately as possible, because money is important. Normally always trying to change traveler's checks from tourist attractions because they are high in the cost of the change. You can store up to three euros per transaction (and maybe more). And if you have a credit card, get the budget for three or four days, the cashier you do to get a three or four euros for every transaction (at least that cost in Caja de Madrid). And of course bring somewhere dollars hidden for emergencies.

Tip 8: Find free tickets to museums and attractionsNormally, museums in Europe, with dates Admission is free to the public. These data vary from city to city, but always there, as there are times and days on which prices are cheaper. This information is readily available at any information booth. For example, every third week in the month in Paris, the Louvre has free admission.

Tip 9: Calls for a cheap phone and internet cafesThe prices for international calls from Europe are incredibly cheap. And you have many choices. You can visit one of (a company for international calls), the talk in almost all European countries digging in abundance. Or you can decide on a prepaid card, which usually costs 5 €.
Public telephones is not that expensive, and usually, especially in London, have the cabins very clear instructions on how to select the individual countries.

In the case of the cards, then you will find that there are dozens of types of cards. It is best to ask you to recommend a. There are various costs, but the cheapest is 5 €. With this card you can call Mexico for 45 minutes (approximately). It's expensive to talk about Monterrey to San Luis Potosi (almost a dollar for two minutes with a Telmex card), that from Paris to San Luis Potosi (10 minutes for a dollar).

Well, if you want to call, in Europe there are many cafes and all kinds of fees, but you can usually find a few, whose value varies from 1 € a € and a half hour. Thus, the communication with family and friends will not be a problem.

Tip 10: The request is to the (cheaper)The quality of tourism services varies widely from country to country. Typically, when you have a little more effort to be in Italy or Spain. Some officials in these countries, tourism is often not a very good sense of humor. However, one must be calm, be patient and although the official tourism, be rude to try to be nice, because that could help you get what you come here looking for: receive a service (change of the Ticket , best way to train, hostel, etc.). cheaper.

Be polite and stay calm always help

Tip 11: Use your status as a student, teacher, researcher, working ...If you are a teacher, students belong to any professional organization, union, etc.. Are, you can examine whether it can create a site that will help you to discounts, free accommodation or assistance events. To get started, if you are young or young at travel agencies is the name of organizations to which you can join (with a small fee) and that will be useful for your trip can be enjoyable and cheap.
For teachers there is an international teacher of the ISIC card www.istc.org also offers rebates and discounts offered, has a rescue service, that (hopefully not) you can serve your travel, phone calls and other services and discounts.

Tip 12: Try to travel in groups for discountsThe group, in itself, helps to save costs through the sharing of certain costs, but in the case of discounts, group benefit in some entries to museums, night clubs and tourist attractions, but most ( and where the real advantage lies in your business to feel) in hostels and trains.

Tip 13: Do not despairWhen one embarks on the process of a journey, many things happen, both good and bad. Sometimes not always get what you (such as credit cards applied for, or the hostel where you wanted to be, or maybe a boyfriend or a girlfriend in the end decided not joint the journey with you, etc..) Will. But on the other hand, it may be that friends and relatives can sometimes without you even ask to help you. All these little things help a lot in the end.

Good luck and hopefully you can go.

Ecological holidays

2008-07-15T13:39:00.000+08:00

The holidays are not necessarily synonymous with travel to remote and expensive places. Tourism means making a tour; ie, visit places of interest as a means of recreation.

Also, vacation is not synonymous with inactivity means changing activity holidays, stop running jobs and to do other routine actions. The holidays are a time of reunion, both with family and friends, and with nature.

However, the environment suffers strongly the impact of tourists, increased forest fires, people trampling plants, chops wood, dirty water and littered the landscape. A summer tourists, have been called the devastating summer nomads, looking for places where nature is at its purest beauty, and there, usually causing damage and contamination.

Camping
Undoubtedly, the greenest way to travel is in tents. Choose camping sites with infrastructure. This will prevent their entry into nature can damage it. Campsites have enabled storage, garbage collection, sanitation, laundry, etc.. The National Parks are a good choice for camping and see the best of their country.

Exit at places not authorized tent is not recommended, unless you have the knowledge and concern to cause the least possible impact.
Never dump waste in places where camping. The worst trash is that hard biodegradable plastics, bottles, metals, toxic liquids, some detergents. The remains of food are less harmful, but just to bury them and cover them with soil. Care to leave bottles lying: they can cause fires by producing high temperatures when exposed to sunlight.
The wildlife and its habitat should not be disturbed. Do not remove plants nor flowers. Change as little as possible places to visit.

Nature favors. Leave as much or as clean as you found it.

Walk on established trails to avoid destroying the vegetation.

Place your tent at least 35 meters away from natural water sources. Choose a place and others have camped.

Collect and deposit trash in a proper place: his own and the other left.

Do not use dish soap, detergent, soap or toothpaste in water sources. Drain water into a bowl and occupy away from water courses.

Boil water if you are unsure of its purity.

Do not cut firewood. Instead, pick up fallen branches that abound in the forests.

Do not make fires, unless it is explicitly allowed. If ever, make sure that the end of the fire was well off. Remember not to leave glass objects thrown because they can cause spontaneous combustion.

Do not throw lighted cigarette butts on the road, no less on-site camping. Better yet, do not smoke. It makes bad to your health and that of those around you.

Respect the locals. The customs and sensitivities of other cultures must be considered. Note if the stranger is you, not them. Feel visiting and behave as such.

Carefully choose the memories you take back home. The ideal is to leave everything intact, but if you take something, which in no way a plant or animal is endangered or items manufactured by them.

Learn about the flora and fauna extinction through books published by CONAF.

Walk a lot. It's the best exercise for health. Do it slow and deep breathing. Enjoy the scenery. Swim. Climb mountains, ride a bike.

Avoid boats: polluted lakes and rivers, are noisy, disturb the fauna and swimming enthusiasts. As watercraft prefer the wind-surfing, rowboat or sailboat.

Tourism in wilderness areas should not be practiced on a large scale, since it would destroy its natural character. Accept the rules a good way for managers and rangers in protected areas.

Shoot the birds and flowers of the region. Then find out their names. Learn to recognize them.

Eat preferably small local products.

If you go to the beach, organize cleaning campaigns on the coast. It is fun and rewarding. A good idea is, for example, to reward the groups that collect most disposable bottles or more kilos of trash is not biodegradable.

Shopping

Commit to caring for the environment means also lead austere lifestyles. So before you buy, consider these basic guidelines:

Reduce consumption whenever possible. This will decrease your expenses. Before buying a new pair of shoes, or whatever, ask yourself if you really need.

Do yourself a mental challenge and independícese of advertising before buying a product. Keep the following principle: only the information you seek will be decisive for the purchase, not entertain you publicity.

Check if the content corresponds to the labels. To do so, prefer products that have indicated their specific content in the container. Insist that information is a right of every consumer.

Buy foods with minimal processing industry, find out which additives are harmful.

Purchase preference to producers. The fewer intermediaries there are in a production-consumption process, the better for everyone: for the price, for the conservation and product quality, saving on packaging and transportation.

Eat, wherever possible, those plant foods whose production involves less expenditure of energy, such as cereals, vegetables and fruits. Reduce or completely eliminate consumption of red meat and animal products in general.

Do not consume food and other products from tropical forests and other ecologically compromised environments. 70% of the plants used to treat cancer comes from there, also produces 40% of the world's oxygen.

Avoid purchasing items made from woods such as rosewood, mahogany, teak, ebony, cactus and others.

Prefer products that are recycled or that can be recycled, reused or repaired and avoid disposable products and packaging.

Do not eat species that are prohibited. Learn about what are the months when you can not eat some fresh seafood. Do not buy plants or endangered animals or products made from over-exploited species (skins, chaguales, tuna, objects of ivory, tortoise shell combs, coral jewelry, crazy, etc.).

Support the shops that offer healthy foods free of contaminants.

Prefer products produced in your region: transport means less oil savings.

Consider sharing a magazine or newspaper subscriptions with friends. Sharing is a good idea, plus it allows savings and avoid accumulating debris.

Food

The purchases you make on food are the most numerous. A good buy food, you know it well, will be crucial to your health. Also for environmental protection.

Most food manufacturers to the natural appeal as a selling point. The market is full of hundred percent natural juice or margarines 0.0% cholesterol or lean meats. With repetition, appeal to the natural goodness to sell. However, at the time of manufacture of these products, such an appeal is often forgotten.

The first thing you must learn to distinguish what is truly natural and healthy than not (although the packaging says otherwise). Always read the fine print of the products (and this applies not only to food products). Then, you realize that this natural juice was nothing natural was a solution of water, more colors, flavors and preservatives.

Maintain a healthy doubt when used as ceiling with food additives. Today, foods are full of dyes, thickeners, flavorings, preservatives, etc. It is proven that many of these contain toxic genes that affect and are carcinogenic. In general, try to avoid all types of additives in the foods you eat.

Obtaining food has a high impact on the environment, because they are produced in the field, then processed and packaged in industry, then transported and sold, so that their wastes are eventually discarded as trash, that regardless the cost for the land involved in agriculture and intensive farming.

Cereal production, which is the most abundant intensive farming on the planet, has led to the elimination of vast tropical forests and the soil has deteriorated seriously. In addition, all large-scale crop cause irreparable damage to the environment. So you know, some U.S. tests indicate that modern intensive production farms lost each year four times more farmland to organic farms.

Beware of frozen foods. Some of them are irradiated nuclear energy, which removes bacteria and odor color indicate spoilage.

Eat less. Transform a consumer in retreat: try each day to consume less. Consider the amount of things you purchase and which can do without that quality of life suffers.

On the Street

In cities, the mere fact of moving from one place to another can generate significant environmental impacts: the larger the cities, the greater the impact.

The costs of moving people and goods she needs are rarely assessed, but are huge. For starters, there is a cost in time that is irretrievable: take, for example, two hours a day to travel from home to work and work at home seems somewhat irrational.

On the other hand, the energy and pollution costs are substantial.

The behavior of people in public-good-you know it has great relevance for the environment and physical and mental health of people. It is therefore essential to have good habits on the streets and sidewalks.

Cleaning

Cleaning is basic, but efectúela ecologically and healthy. Highly corrosive products usually bring unfortunate side effects to the environment and human health. Here are some tips:

Instead of disposable paper towels, use wool gender. The pulp production process is harmful to the environment. The wool texture is worthy and not contrary to the trees or contributing to pollution of waters clear that it must keep them clean and disinfected.

Use newspaper to clean glass and mirrors.
In the bedroom, cleaning and maintenance of clothing is essential. Leave bags that include cloves, cinnamon sticks, nutmeg and other species is a good solution.

When cleaning do not use detergents based on high doses of phosphate of oil, which biodegrade slowly and can contain toxic elements. Instead, use vegetable oil-based articles.
To clean the oven, moisten the inside with water, sprinkle with plenty of baking soda, leave overnight. In the morning, spend a brush or shives.
