Flow Like Water — June’s Challenge

The truth is not one of the four of us could pick a single winner in this challenge. They were all so exciting and different. We love different! Read Anne Bonfert’s Finale to check if your story was one of the (many) finalists.

Here are a few more of the entries from this week.

And although it was submitted too late to be considered for the challenge, here’s Part Two of Jillian’s kayaking adventure. Keep watching for Part Three!

July’s Monthly Challenge

Crystal A. Walker has set us this challenge for July. You can write how you were involved in any celebration that occurred in any month anywhere in the world. Come on, Globetrotters — get writing!

Here’s Anne Bonfert’s first story. I’m hoping she has more!

I almost cried when I read JoAnn’s story of growing up not being able to celebrate anything, not even her own birthday. That’s just cruel!

Writer Spotlight

Thanks for sharing a little about you, Jerry Dwyer.

And here’s a little more about Janin Lyndovsky. She’s one determined woman!

Places

Last week, M T Sutphin took us to temples in Chiang Mai and Chiang Khan. This week, we are off to see the White Temple at Chiang Rai, Thailand. I’d love to visit these places. They look unreal.

Gerad Carrier continues his travelogue on Singapore.

Darren Weir takes us to Pamukkale, Turkey. If you haven’t visited Turkey, you should add it to your bucket list! I also wrote about Pamukkale this week in I’m a Hot Water Baby.

And then Darren takes us to Cappadocia, Turkey. Definitely another bucket list item!

LucianoSphere takes us to Santorini, Greece. This island holds a special place in my heart. Take me back! I want to swim in that caldera. Definitely a bucket list item for a hot water baby!

And here’s another volcano — not active though. Catherine Dunn takes us to Nisga’a Memorial Lava Bed Provincial Park, Canada, the site of Canada’s most recent volcanic eruption.

Mary Louisa Cappelli, MFA, JD, PhD writes about Cinque Terre, Italy. Another bucket list item.

Ophélie Quillier encourages us to visit other parts of England other than London. The Lakes District and the Cotswolds are on my bucket list!

Janice Macdonald takes us to the village of Chateau Grézan in Languedoc, France for a wine festival. What fun! This story would fit into July’s challenge, Janice.

Iceland was on my bucket list forever. I almost got there in 2015 for a song — but I eventually made the trip in November 2019 but I had to sing for my supper.

TRAVEL STORIES BY GABE takes a day trip to Belfast, Northern Ireland from Dublin, Ireland. Check out what he learned in just one day!

Linda Ng encourages us to visit Markham, Canada.

Planning

Malky McEwan is planning on coming to Australia. Should I warn him we’re a weird mob?

Experiences

Souvenirs

Several of us took up Linda Ng’s challenge to write about our favourite souvenirs.

Bucket Lists

And here’s another of Linda’s prompts.

Travel Tips and Advice

Opinions

Well, that about wraps it up for another week. I hope I didn’t miss anyone out. Please let me know. Also tell me if I attributed your article to the wrong person. I have had one of those weeks. I’ll do better next week…I promise.
