3 of the Most Uniquely Strange Hotels in the World (1 Part)
The complex situation we live in probably makes you crave more and more adventures. We will help you to travel more – virtually (with the help of National Geographic). We will visit some of the most unique hotels in the world. Their locations and appearance are not the most traditional, but this is what makes them very interesting spaces.
Golden Crown Levin Iglut, Levi, Finland
Remarkable glass igloos that allow visitors to admire the warmth of the Northern Lights phenomenon in all its glory. They are less than 10 km from the Finnish ski resort of Levi and, along with the captivating view, you also receive some bonuses. They include an outdoor jacuzzi, free parking and Wi-Fi, as well as an individual kitchenette, a bathroom and a double bed with an adjustable backrest for even greater comfort. The windows are well insulated and heated so that they do not freeze, and if you still want a little intimacy, you can use the curtains.
Kokopelli’s Cave, Farmington, New Mexico
In Bulgaria you can find huts in caves, but a whole hotel… There is one in Farmington, New Mexico. In fact, his original idea was to serve geological surveys in the area, but now it is an attractive place for travelers. It is located more than 20 meters below the surface of the rocky plateau. Inside, you enter through an entrance carved into the rock, and although reminiscent of the ruins of the Anasazi tribe, we can not miss the modern additions such as Jacuzzi, shower, bath, carpets, electricity and comfortable furniture.
Book and Bed Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan
It never occurred to you that you could sleep in the library, but if you are a fan of reading, you will definitely like the idea. In fact, the place is more like a bookstore where you can sit comfortably and look at the offers. Well, with the difference that in Book and Bed Tokyo you can spend the night. It is a 4-minute walk from JR Ikebukuro Station and has over 3,000 books in English and Japanese. The beds are compact and have individual contact and lighting, as well as a curtain to ensure privacy. The only drawback is the shared bathroom, but this is not such a problem.

5 Tips for Healthy Eating During the Holidays
It is clear that summer is the holiday season – there is no dispute on this issue. But during our travels and entertainment we often forget about our healthy diet. If you still stick to proper nutrition and you are wondering exactly how to combine it with your plans for sea or mountain adventures, maybe these few tips are just for you.
How to Eat Healthy During the Holidays?
Make a List With Forbidden Foods
Something very valuable, especially for people with digestive or gastric problems. They certainly understand well what we mean, but we will explain to everyone else. And in the beginning we clarify that we do not need to be very drastic to eat relatively healthy, even when we are out of town.
The easiest way is to make a list of foods to avoid. This does not mean that we will deprive ourselves, we will just be careful. This list is good to include fried and greasy things, as well as very salty packaged products and sausages. And if you’re wondering why it’s so important, it’s good to know that it won’t hold water or fill you with toxins.
Think About Places to Eat in Advance
When we go to the sea or the mountains, we choose a place to sleep in advance. At the same time, however, inquire about the places where you will be able to eat. If you prefer and have such an opportunity, you may prepare your own food. In case you are going to eat in a restaurant, ask in advance where delicious and quality dishes are offered.
Don’t Hurry – Positive Emotions Will Not Escape
Clearly, adventures can’t wait, but you don’t need to rush all the time. Take enough time for breakfasts, lunches and dinners, because they are valuable both for energy and for sharing time with loved ones and friends. And if you’re still in the rhythm of the big city, slow down a bit, eat something tasty, take some drink and enjoy the company.
You Have to Limit Fizzy Drinks
We know very well that gin goes with a tonic and rum with a cola and we do not say that they are forbidden, but we do not need to pour carbonated drinks from morning till night. We will save you explanations of how harmful they are to your health, because we believe you are aware. We just want to point out that there are healthier and more enjoyable alternatives. Think about them!
You Don’t Overdo With Sweets
It is true that the vacation is time for relax, but you do not want to try to lose the extra pounds next two months, right?!. Not to mention the harm to health from excessive amounts of jam… So you better sweeten your life with some fruit or dark chocolate.
