I began writing\u00a0travelsofadam.com\u00a0<\/strong>one autumn day in Boston 5 years in the past. I keep in mind that first month of journey running a blog nicely, simply after a visit to Iceland that modified my life<\/a>. I used to be working full-time for one of many world\u2019s largest e book publishers and spending my evenings at varied caf\u00e9s writing, enhancing and studying all that I may about running a blog and on-line advertising.<\/p>\n Everything about it was thrilling and exhilarating. As I used to be saving up my cash for extra future travels<\/a> and planning dream holidays, I used to be additionally studying new expertise, training outdated ones, and spending plenty of time daydreaming about locations all around the world.<\/p>\n At that time in my life I used to be already pretty well-traveled. Especially contemplating I\u2019d spent a 12 months of my life finding out overseas<\/a> in Australia and the UK. But at age 25 it\u2019d already been three years since I\u2019d left on a global journey. I began the weblog as a approach to share my journey ideas<\/a>. I\u2019d already been a long-time Twitter consumer however 140 characters simply wasn\u2019t sufficient house to share all the pieces I needed to say about touring.<\/p>\n Five years later, travelsofadam.com<\/strong> has change into greater than I ever imagined. Every day I obtain emails from different vacationers searching for private ideas or recommendation, asking questions on Berlin, the best way to reside overseas, what to do in overseas cities and the best way to save up for journeys.<\/p>\n I like listening to inspiring tales from different travelers and seeing how this little weblog<\/a> (that began in a JP Licks ice cream retailer) has impressed others to journey now, not later. Traveling has had an empowering impact on me, forcing me out of my consolation zone<\/a> and altering my life in additional methods than I can rely.<\/p>\n And now, with a very redesigned weblog, I\u2019m capable of share the expertise of a visit with one fortunate reader. To have fun 5 years of travelsofadam.com and the launch of my Hipster City Guides<\/a>, I\u2019ve partnered with airberlin and Visit Berlin to present one individual (and his\/her\u00a0pal, mother, boss\u2026) a visit to Berlin from the United States. With airfare for 2 individuals and 4 nights in a 3* resort, you\u2019ll get to experience the joys of journey<\/a>. Why Berlin, although? Well, apart from the truth that it\u2019s my absolute favourite metropolis, Berlin is an excellent place to be born once more (and that’s what touring is all about).<\/p>\n This week Berlin celebrates 25 years because the fall of the wall and in that point, the town has gone by way of an unimaginable transformation. But the factor is: the town\u2019s nonetheless altering. It\u2019s a fast-evolving metropolis, rising in methods individuals in all probability didn\u2019t anticipate. There\u2019s an unimaginable, vibrant power within the metropolis\u2014making it one of the crucial thrilling locations to expertise. And I need one in every of you to get that thrill.<\/p>\n The final 5 years have introduced me 1000’s of experiences because of the extraordinary quantity of journey that I\u2019ve executed. I spent 15 months backpacking world wide\u2014visiting in all places from the souks of Marrakech to the floating villages of Cambodia<\/a>, from the seashores of southern Spain<\/a> to the Jerusalem Old City<\/a>, from the skyscrapers of Bangkok to deserted buildings in Berlin. I\u2019ve discovered quite a bit in these years.<\/p>\n Traveling has taught me greater than I ever thought it may.<\/a><\/p>\n
