Lankan nature

I just realized I've hardly glanced through the photos I took in Sri Lanka with my camera. The cell phone photos are up on Instagram, but these.. I need to go through them and sort them out. So you can expect to see more Sri Lanka photos on my blog this weekend. Tonight probably. 

It's Friday! I got to sleep until 10 AM this morning, eat a delicious brunch and now I'm on my way to work. The sun is shining (finally!) after all of the raining this week. 

Have an awesome weekend everybody!

Reasons to love Florida

So here we go. A few older photos I've taken in Florida. I haven't been there in a few years and that makes me a bit sad. But I will get back there someday soon. So why do I love Florida so much? Here's a few reasons.

1. Miami - Amazing city, beautiful and warm. Gorgeous beaches combined with a cool, city environment.

2. the weather - There's a reason why they call Florida the Sunshine State. The sun is (almost) always shining. And oh don't I love the sun. Perfect weather is always a winner.

3. Disney World - It's awesome!

4. Florida Keys - Beautiful, beautiful islands. Ernest Hemingway lived in Key West and wrote To have and Have Not there. He's one of my favorite authors.

5. Key Lime Pie - Have you tried it? If not, you have to. Most delicious thing on earth.

6. Miami Heat - best NBA team. Helloo Lebron! I've seen them live and it was one of the best experiences of my life. We had good seats too. I paid for both me and my sister and it was worth every penny.

7. Hot summer nights - You won't have to feel cold. Ever.

8. Golf - Yeah, you know it. Tiger Woods and Arnold Palmer live, work & play golf in FL.

9. The variety - Florida has something for everyone.

10. Palm Beach - Welcome to the Good Life, as Kanye would say it.

You'll be reading more about Florida sooner or later. I for sure can never get enough of it.

Diamonds in the sky

Photos above are from my latest travel to Sri Lanka and Qatar.

I hate sitting for long periods of time and that's why I don't enjoy flying very much. It can be quite uncomfortable. The view from the window is however spectacular. That's definitely my favorite part of flying, looking at the clouds, the sunset or the night sky. My favorite landscapes so far have been taking off from Qatar in the night time, it really looks like diamonds on the ground. That's the second photo from above. Another favorite is landing in Miami. It is so very beautiful. And after all, it's one of my absolute favorite places too. Thank goodness most flights have good selections of movies and albums to listen to these days. Otherwise I'd be bored out of my mind. But who cares, traveling is awesome and it's always worth even the longest flights!

Pichidangui, Chile

 

Another favorite escape of mine in Chile is Pichidangui. The name may sound quite ludicrous, but the place is amazing. It's located on the coast of Chile, a bit up north from Viña del Mar and is frequently visited by tourists during the summer season. The beaches are perfect for windsports. The beach can get quite crowded so I recommend walking further along the beach, or even to the end of the beach to find a nice, tranquil spot. I recommend visiting the caves at the end of the beach pictured above, it's quite fascinating and leads to the cliffs pictured in the photo above. I recommend visiting the town in february. And if you get tired of the beach, spend the day at a yacht club by the pool. That's what I did and I loved it.

Introduction to the mind of a hopeless wanderer

As I introduce myself (once again) to the world of blogging, I choose to also introduce my favorite beach. My name is Sara and I could be called a wanderer of the earth. My passion is to travel, to learn, to take photographs, to see. I am a professional at looking at sunsets, swimming in the ocean, observing strangers and drinking coffee. I also love languages and different cultures. I am currently very passionate about learning about the Arabic culture. I also love reading, sports, working out, dancing, music and fashion. And writing, of course. So now that I'm getting started you will be following along on my journeys all over the world. Stay tuned. If you want to know what I look like (more or less), you can see me in the third photo from above, with my dear friend Tania. I'm the one with lighter hair and a red dress.

Right, I almost forgot to introduce you to my favorite beach. Well, it's in Chile and it's called Playa la Virgen. It is beautiful, with clear, turquoise water and white sand. Avoid tourist season (typically January-mid-March) and you'll find it to be a very tranquil and calming place. It's a bit tricky to find too, so don't try getting there on your own. The deserts in Chile are not to be underestimated when it comes to getting lost. And please, make sure you have your sunblock with you.
