How to Spend 48 Hours in Paris, France

Getting There Planes, trains, automobiles, and buses…there are certainly many ways to travel to Paris depending on which corner of the world you’re coming from. My parents and I had been visiting my younger brother at the Ramstein Air Base in southwestern Germany and decided to spend two days in Paris before returning to Germany. We already had a rental car and decided to drive. The drive to Paris turned out to be a memorable part of the experience. The drive to Paris was a scenic one filled with relaxing…

Using Crystals for Energy Healing

I recently took a class on how to use crystals during reiki energy healing sessions. It was an exciting class and I was able to hold and feel the vibration of numerous different crystals. Everyone who attended the class was given several crystals to take home. It was a two-day class and we had a homework assignment the first night which proved to be a very cool experience.

Bali: A Solo Traveler’s Experience on a Spiritual Island

I really cannot say what caused me to choose Bali as the destination for my first solo trip to another country other than I simply felt drawn to go there. A consensus that I found while doing research was that Bali was generally considered to be a safe place to travel alone, a factor that was very important to me as a single female in my late 20’s. Coming from the United States I didn’t know if the people there would speak English, but I assumed there would be enough signs…
