27 Reasons Why You Should ALWAYS Ask for the Window Seat

There are plenty of reasons to ask for a window seat. For starters you can lean on the window if you want to sleep, and you never have to get up for someone else! But it’s what’s outside of that window that is most compelling. The world is a wonderful place, one that looks entirely different from above. From sunrises and sunsets to landscapes, cityscapes and all kinds of cloud formations in between; there’s beauty out there as far as the eye can see.
Here are 27 reasons you should always ask for a window seat.

The beautiful and mind-bending illusions in Canadian artist Robert Gonsalves’ paintings have a fun way of twisting your perception and causing you to question what in his paintings, if anything, is real.
Most of his stunning paintings have an unclear boundary between the multiple stories they tell, which forces the viewer to jump back and forth between them – like an optical illusion that changes every time you look at it.
Gonsalves’ interest in art began at an early age, which is why he became comfortable with painting such complex misdirections. He had experience with technique and perspective and architectural art by the age of 12. When he encountered Salvador Dali and Rene Magritte, they clearly left a lasting impact on his amazing paintings as well. Take a look!

Magical Macro World Of Snails And Bugs By Vadim Trunov

Vadim Trunov, a self-taught nature photographer based in Voronezh, Russia, takes beautiful macro photos of snails, insects and mushrooms that seem to personify them and weave beautiful little stories around these oft-overlooked creatures’ lives.
Trunov often creates these warm and beautiful moments by manipulating and placing his unwitting subjects, but they don’t seem to mind much. He doesn’t have to go far to find them, either – many of his photos were taken near his home.
Be sure to check out this award-winning photographer’s other photos as well – it looks like the squirrels of Voronezh are especially fond of his camera gear!

Deadly destructive power of mother nature

TRAVEL – 30 Places To Visit Before You’re 30




Some people say that your 20’s are your selfish years. And cheers to that! It’s the time to forget about responsibilities (do you even have any yet?), quit that dead end job, save some money and book those flights you’re always saying you will ‘one day’. We’re not saying that any adventure or travel goes out of the window the second you reach the big 3-oh, but the likelihood is, you might have a significant other half by then, perhaps you’ll be paying off a mortgage by then or have a serious job – even children that now depend on you. All of these things by no means stop you from travelling the world, but your priorities will have changed, and the things you want to do in your 20s might seem a little…childish…dangerous…stupid even? In short, fewer ties equals fewer responsibilities. So give into your wanderlust – party till sunrise, do that bungy jump, dive off that rock and explore. Here are our top 30 places to visit before you’re 30…
