We had only planned to see the falls, but were told by some of the other hostelers about the amazon bird park literally at the end of the road and across the street from the hostel so we decided to check it out. We saw so many different species of birds, flamingos, parrots, and even some hummingbirds and really enjoyed seeing a small but unbelievable sampling of the amazing creativity and beauty our God has created...

While traveling in New Zealand, we definitely wanted to take a stop in Rotorua, New Zealand’s hotspot for geothermal activity. A short stroll around town can take you past countless hot pools and bubbling mud pits being heated directly by the Earth’s core. The absolute best way to see everything Rotorua has to offer in one place is with a morning visit to Wai-O-Tapu. While Wai-O-Tapu is great to visit at any time of day, I recommend...

One of the things that I was most looking forward to about visiting New Zealand was getting to know a little more about the Maori culture. I had heard little pieces of information about the indigenous people of this beautiful place, and was interested to learn more. Although Maori people make up more than 14%...

While traveling in New Zealand, our driver told us there would be some very beautiful blue glacial water pools coming up, but we had no idea of the vibrancy to expect. We were told that the blue of the water is caused by the almost microscopic rock particles and debris that the glaciers scrape up as they move along the...

We are currently finishing our travels in New Zealand and let me encourage and persuade you that if you have not been to New Zealand before, you should put it on your bucket list and make it out here before you die. This place is amazing...

Train Tour of Northern India Part III: Agra, the City of Eternal Love

There’s really only one reason to visit Agra. I’m not saying that there’s only one thing to see there, but everything else really just pales in comparison. You know what I’m talking about, the Taj Mahal; truly one of man’s most beautiful creations. After you’ve seen the Taj, is there really anything else to visit...
