Let people travel how they want… Sure I have visited some churches and museums abroad in the past and I have thought ‘wow’! But overall visiting churches and museums is not my idea of fun on a holiday. I personally do not enjoy churches and museums and I don’t think this is a indicator of intelligence or being cultured i.e. I don’t think someone that does visit the Church or museum when they’re travelling is more cultured than me more intelligent than me etc. I just think it’s difference in preferences and that should be okay. I’ve always found that when I don’t want to visit the church or the museum, especially in European countries the response is ‘well how could you not want to go and see it?’ And almost a looking down on me for not wanting to. I think it should be perfectly okay unacceptable for people to visit a country or a city for example Rome and not want to go and see St Peter’s Basilica for example, without being shamed for it. Same as if someone only wants to go to the beach on holiday, let them. It’s their holiday. And similarly, I will not be going to the museum or the church. ##travel##europe##museum##church##solotravel

Languages are much more complex than just knowing a few words. So let’s stop claiming to speak languages just because you know a few words and phrases. It’s perfectly fine to say you’re learning a language or you’re really interested in a certain language but to claim that you speak a language when you can’t even formulate a full sentence in it just doesn’t make sense to me. I speak four languages and I have a degree in French and Spanish, but this only happens to me when I tell people I speak Spanish. Spanish is just one of those languages that because of its proximity to English, people think that they can speak it. Spanish is somewhat understandable. There are many words that you can guess in both written and speaking by being able to understand something does not mean you have full proficiency in a language. This is very different to French where I feel like it is very difficult to pretend to speak French. You would have to know a lot of of the grammar and vocabulary to be able to have a proficient conversation in French. Spanish is in a lot of tv shows and series nowadays and I know people backpack around Latin America so they have an interest in learning Spanish or have picked up words when travelling around Latin America but that doesn’t mean you are fluent in a language and you shouldn’t claim to be. Saying things like ‘ I can order a beer in Spanish’ reduces the language to it just being used as a means to an end to satisfy your requests. I also think because a lot of Brits travel to Spain and pick up a few words, they think that this now means that they speak the language but it absolutely does not. ##language##spanish##travel##latinamerica##polyglot

My favourite (and least favourite) things to do in Curaçao! Honestly, now that Curaçao featured in the World Cup, I feel like it’s going to get so much more touristy!! so if you are planning to visit these are some of the activities that I highly enjoyed doing and some of the ones that I didn’t enjoy so much! Firstly, what I do wanna say is that I was highly surprised with the amount of activities that Curaçao has to offer! I thought it was just gonna be a boring island trip but honestly there were so much to do here. Favourite activities include the day trip to Klein Curaçao, the rum distillery Tour at Landhuis chobolobo and the sunset boat cruise. I also really enjoyed the water activities such as sea tracking and sea bobbing Some of the activities I didn’t love so much were Punda vibes on a Thursday night which I had high hopes for. Let me know if you have any questions about things to do in Curaçao. #curacao #travel #abcislands #willemstad #trendingreels Curaçao itinerary | Curacao activities | things to do in Curaçao
