Mason Elephant Sanctuary In Bali: Rescue Park & Lodge
We recently visited the Bali elephant sanctuary near Ubud (also known as Mason Elephant Park) and had a great time playing with the Bali elephants! This is an elephant rescue park opened in 1997, and they do a lot of great conservation work for the Sumatran elephants, which are critically endangered on their home island of Sumatra in Indonesia. The safari park has lots of activities you can do, including elephant rides, elephant feeding and bathing, a museum, and more.

Coron Palawan Travel Guide For The Philippines
Coron Palawan is one of the most amazing islands in the Philippines, with huge limestone peaks, multicolored lagoons, and great snorkeling or scuba diving. Like other islands in the Philippines, Coron Island is a very budget friendly destination where you can see beautiful white sand beaches and some of the best coral reefs in Southeast Asia. Even though Coron isn’t quite as famous as its nearby cousin El Nido, it’s more affordable and less crowded, and you could argue that the island hopping scenery is just as good.

How To Visit The Baalbek Temple Ruins In Lebanon
One of the highlights of my visit to the Middle East would have to be Baalbek Lebanon, with its Roman ruins and giant megalithic stones. This temple dates back to ancient times, and it can be visited pretty easily on a day trip from the Beirut area. These amazing ruins are still in great condition considering their age, so they’re a must see if you happen to be passing through Lebanon or the Middle East.

How To Visit The Temples Of Bagan In Myanmar
The forgotten temple city of old Bagan Myanmar is like a bizarre fairytale, with a landscape of mysterious and exotic pagodas that goes beyond just culture shock. We felt like time travelers stepping into the ancient ruins of the Bagan Myanmar temples. In ages past, there were more than 10,000 shrines and monasteries here, and the Burma temples still standing are completely fascinating to explore and photograph.
