Helsinki Christmas Market | Ferry from Tallinn to Helsinki

The Helsinki Christmas Market wasn't on my radar when I was taking a trip through Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia -- bottom line, it should have been. This Christmas Market is massive, the vendors and artists are so friendly, and there are so many unique Christmas gifts to collect here (I legit had issues with my luggage being over weight). Taking a day trip to the Helsinki Christmas Market from Tallinn Estonia is VERY easy, you can hit both Christmas Markets in 48 hours and have an experience that will stay with you for a lifetime. Make sure to check out the links below for details on both markets, what to pack for the Helsinki Christmas Market, things you NEED to know before visiting, and how to save money on your trip there and back.

The BEST Things to do in OLD SAN JUAN Puerto Rico | 48 Hrs in San Juan

Trade winds caress your face as you stand atop a 15th-century fortress in a UNESCO City staring out across the ocean lapping at the cliff edges as it has for centuries. Visitors pass by but you just reside in the stillness and friendship of the Iguana basking in the sun at your side. You get hungry and decide to head into the Old San Juan center to a restaurant along Fortaleza street. A wild-haired woman ushers you in, as she shoos two pigeon residents out of her restaurant that has been run by her family for years. You sit down and she hands you a local Medalla beer, you sip it, and realize that all your cares about life at home were washed down with that first sip of your cold beverage. This is what I experienced anyway when I visited Old San Juan in May of 2022. I was there for a travel conference and was so enamored by the sites of Old San Juan and history here, I ended up ditching the conference to really DO what we were there to learn about - exploring and reporting better on cities from around the world. There is a big difference between San Juan and Old San Juan, you see the difference in centuries collide within a matter of 1-2 minute drive through the city. You see the Spanish influence in the Castillos and fortresses, feel the religious devotion to the grandeur of the Chapel of St John, and learn about the miracle that influenced the Chapel of Christ. Walking along the blue cobblestone streets of San Juan is sure to delight every visitor, but there are a few suggestions and tips to visit that I will explain more in my article (link below) and in my video.

Lake Charles for Mardi Gras Celebrations! Zydeco Dancing and Parades

When you say Mardi Gras, I often would think of women showing their breasts in order to get beads thrown at them at the parades in New Orleans along Bourbon street.

Let me introduce you to Lake Charles Louisiana, where the celebrations of Mardi Gras predate those of New Orleans. Mardi Gras in Lake Charles is the family-friendly version that has plenty of activities for kids to enjoy, and a more modest celebration for adults to experience as well.
