Cliff Palace is the largest cliff dwelling in North America. Ancestral Puebloans lived here 800 years ago. Mesa Verde NP is the first National Park that was created to preserve a place of cultural significance. It is well worth the effort to get here! . . . . . #mesaverdenationalpark #mesaverde #cliffpalace #colorado #visitcolorado #ancestralpuebloan #cliffdwellings #culturaltravel #adventuretravel #unescoworldheritage #worldheritage #instacolorado #indigenous #ancientarchitecture @visitcolorado
Visiting the Balcony House cliff dwelling at Mesa Verde NP requires climbing ladders and squeezing through tight spaces. It was such a fun way to see the ancient Pueblo cliff homes. Built over 800 years ago, these are some of the oldest surviving man-made structures in the United States. . . . . . #mesaverde #balconyhouse #worldheritagesite #colorado #thegreatoutdoors #cliffdwellings #pueblo #visitcolorado #instacolorado #architecture #nature @visitcolorado #adventuretravel

Visiting three of 🇲🇲Myanmar’s ethnic tribes was a highlight of our visit to Burma. You can differentiate the tribes by their unique dress. The Kayah tribe’s signature accessories are the lacquer leg rings (slide for pics). They also wear elaborate jewelry and red outfits.

👉🏼NEW BLOG POST👈🏼 (🌎 Link In Bio) The Buddhist Daily Alms Giving Ceremony (also known as Tak Bat) has become one of the most popular things in Luang Prabang for travelers. 🇱🇦 Unfortunately, the bad behavior of some tourists is turning this beautiful religious ceremony into something of a circus. Be sure to learn how to NOT be a jerk before heading to Luang Prabang! . . . . . #buddhism #luangprabang #laos #southeastasia #almsgivingceremony #takbat #monks #buddhistmonks #ceremony #tourismluangprabang #laos_simplybeautiful #culturaltravel #culture #familytravel #travelfamily #travelwriter #smartertravel #traveldeeper #traveletiquette #worldschooling #4wornpassports #travel #travelguide @tourismluangprabang @laostourism @laos_simplybeautiful #unescoworldheritagesite #unescoworldheritage
👉🏼WOULD YOU RATHER...?!👈🏼 Talk about cultural whiplash! Two days ago we were in Myanmar 🇲🇲, one of the poorest countries in the world. The monuments are ancient, life is tough, and the people are lovely. Imagine 6 lane intersections and no stop signs or traffic lights. People bathing in the streets because they have no running water at home. Street dogs are as common as the litter. AND THEN BAM‼️ The next day we land in Singapore 🇸🇬. The 2nd wealthiest nation on the planet. A place so perfect it seems fake. Everything is new and shiny. Even the currency is crisp, shiny and beautiful. This is the land of law and order. A place where we can finally drink the water but we can’t chew gum. There is no litter, there are no street people. It’s strange to experience such opposite cultures back-to-back! 🌎 Which one would you rather visit??? . . . . . #myanmar #hsinbyumepagoda #burma #singapore #marinabaysands #pagoda #ancientvsmodern #highrise #laserlightshow #traveldeeper #lppathfinders #wonderful_places #wealthy #travel #familytravel #travelfamily #showthemtheworld #ancienttemple #singaporelife #singaporecity #nightscape #architecture #4wornpassports #culture #culturaltravel #travelwriter #visitsingapore #myanmarmemories #wouldyourather
