What is a Camino?

The word ‘Camino’ in Spanish simply means path, road, way, journey. The Camino de Santiago is a network of paths that lead to a cathedral in Santiago de Compostela. Throughout Europe, there are hundreds of these paths that all lead to many different places of worship. It is said to be one of three main pilgrimages that all sins can be forgiven, the other two are Via Francigena ending in Rome and Jerusalem.

The Camino de Santiago or ‘The Way of St James’ has become the most popular of all paths and has existed since the medieval times, however it is believed to have been a path of significance beforehand with the ancient pagans and even suggested with the Romans who concurred Spain and perhaps Santiago de Compostela was even a Roman shrine.

For Christian pilgrims, the route to Santiago is of importance and is said to be the burial site of St. James when his remains were carried by boat from Jerusalem to the north-west of Spain then buried at the site of the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.

Why do people undertake this journey?

Not all pilgrims in these modern times walk necessarily for religious reasons. Some walk for personal spiritual growth, others for the experience, some for the challenge. Whatever the reason, the popularity has grown considerably since the 1980s when the Camino Francés was declared the first European Cultural Route and even more so in recent years as more people become more aware of its existence through movies, such as ‘The Way’ and ‘Walking the Camino: Six Ways to Santiago’. Also, with social media and people sharing their journeys online it also encourages others to walk it.

People complete this pilgrimage for all kinds of personal reasons.

Where to start your pilgrimage

A Camino traditionally begins from your home and many do start from their front door, others choose to start at the beginning of one of the various routes you can take. This is a decision entirely up to you to make.

With a variety of paths to Santiago to choose, many first time walkers take the most popular route – the Camino Francés. This starts in the village of St-Jean-Pied-de-Port in France before crossing the Pyrenees into Spain. It is roughly 790kms long.

The statistics of pilgrims completing their Camino in 2017 was approximately 301,006 with around 180,726 of these having walked the Francés route. Other popular routes include the Caminho Portugés, Camino del Norte and Camino Inglés.

For a pilgrim to qualify for a Compostela certificate they need to at least complete 100km or 200km if on a bike into Santiago. This means for many pilgrims walking they would start in the village of Sarria (110km to Santiago).

There are several paths to choose to begin your pilgrimage.

How long does it take to walk the Camino?

If you are walking the Francés route, the average time one takes is around 35 days. This will have you walking at approximately 25 km per day. I always suggest to people to look at what your body is capable to achieve comfortably and add a few extra days to it, so you can have a rest day every now and then. If you only have 30 days for example, then consider either a shorter route or start closer to the destination point.

Don’t push yourself too fast as you won’t enjoy it as much, you will also miss out on some great sites, plus you are more at risk of injury which could have you leave the path earlier. This is something I see all the time on my various walking trips.

Consider your physical capabilities when choosing the length of your trip.

When to go

The pilgrimage season starts around April and ends late October with the busiest times being July, August and September.

It is not recommended to walk any of the southern sections of the Via de la Plata, Mozarabe or de Levante during the hottest time of summer as the temperatures can get into the extremely high 30’s. Even walking across the Meseta on the Francés Route can be extremely hot as it is very exposed with little shade.

It is also recommended not to walk during the winter months as it can get bitterly cold and on the higher points like the passes over the Pyrenees, the snow makes it quite dangerous with pilgrims each year losing their lives to the elements. Several of the Pilgrim accommodations are not open during the winter months as well.

Choose milder conditions for your journey, so that you don’t get yourself into trouble.

How to get there

If you are planning to walk the Francés route of the Camino, you can fly into either Madrid or Barcelona then travel by train or bus out to St-Jean-Pied-de-Port. Or, you can fly into Paris and there are daily trains from Gare Montparnasse with one change over.

For any of the other routes, you can access them by train and bus from Madrid and Barcelona.

Credential or the Pilgrims Passport

This is another item the pilgrims of today carry with great pride, in the middle ages it was considered the pilgrim’s safeguard. The passport, also known as their credential, is a very important document that the pilgrim carries with them whilst either walking, cycling, horseback on the Camino. This is a way that the pilgrim is identified and allows them to be able to stay in various ‘pilgrim accommodation’ along the way.

It is also a way of proving that they are indeed a pilgrim as they collect a stamp, (sello) each day from a place they had stayed and once in the region of Galicia (the last 100km) they are required to collect 2 stamps per day. It will prove that the pilgrim walked at least the last 100km into Santiago which is the necessary distance to be able to collect one’s Compostela certificate. This is the official testament to the pilgrim’s journey.

One can collect their stamps from a variety of places including their accommodation, churches, cafes, post offices – almost anywhere. They will receive their final stamp at the Cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.

You can pick up your credential at the start of your journey like at the Alburgues, churches or order them online through sites like The Confraternity of Saint James or the Australian Friends of the Camino.

This is what the credential looks like with all the stamps at the end of your journey.

Way-markers

When walking one of the Caminos, you will find yourself following yellow painted arrows across the country. These can be painted in many different places like on a rock, a road, a fence – anywhere. I always liken it to the ‘Where’s Wally’ game. The yellow arrows in Spanish are called ‘flechas’ simply meaning arrows and just point the way.

There are other signs you will find to follow as well, these being a symbol of a ‘Concha’, a scallop shell. They can be found often on a tile that is placed on a signpost, in the pavement or even on local houses and fences. Over the years there have been many stories behind the meaning of using the shell symbol. Some are of religious stories, or directional with the lines of the shell representing the different pilgrim routes that all come together in one place, this being Santiago de Compostela.

Some reasons are as simple as it was a tool used by the pilgrim like a plate to eat off or a way of scooping water to drink from a steam whilst on their journey. Today, pilgrims carry the shell on their packs with pride, a symbol to show that they are indeed a pilgrim.

Here’s an example of what a trail marker looks like on the Camino paths.

Accommodation

There are various places for a pilgrim to stay on their journey along the way. The most common and popular is to stay in the Albergues or Refugio’s, these are pilgrim hostels and one is only allowed to stay if they carry a pilgrim’s passport. These places offer a bed for the weary pilgrim and it can be in a dormitory style hostel, a church, an old renovated barn, or a schoolhouse. The rooms may sleep just a few pilgrims or up to hundred – they are all different.

The cost can be from a donation or €5–€15 as an average, sometimes a little higher. With the pilgrim’s passport, you can occasionally get ‘Pilgrim discount’ at other forms of accommodation like hotels and B&Bs.

What would you expect to find in an Albergue?

These are places that are run by volunteers (hospitalero/hospitalera) and offer the very basics for the pilgrim. You will find a bed in most (though sometimes you will need a mat for the floor), a shower and a communal kitchen. Staying at an Albergue isn’t for everyone, but it certainly does add to the whole of the Camino experience. This can be very rewarding for some to share their journey with other pilgrims over a meal at night.

Here’s an example of what you can expect an Albergue to look like.

Do I need to book ahead for an Albergue?

Not always, though through the busy season it can be helpful. Do be aware that not all places take bookings and it comes as a first-in, first-served basis. For some of the lesser used routes, like the Via de la Plata, it’s not needed.

What to take

Less is always best. Many pilgrims find along the way they have too much gear. Do remember you are walking from town to town, so there are shops along the way. When choosing what gear to pack, go for the lightest options, as your body will thank you for it.

Stopping to take a photo with the famous pilgrim statue.

The basic packing list for the Camino

Boots or shoes you plan to walk in

A backpack – size depends on your personal needs. I recommend Hiking poles

Spare lightweight shoes for the evening

2 quick drying hiking shirts

2 zip-off hiking pants. These are not only quick-drying, having the zip-offs allows you the flexibility to wear shorts if the weather warms up or long pants if the temperature drops – without carrying extra clothes.

2 sets of socks. Also, wear liners as they are good to wear under your thicker socks. This can help prevent blisters and easier to wash more regularly as they dry quicker.

3 pairs of underwear. I don’t recommend cotton as once it gets wet it will take longer to dry. You also want a fabric that will help wick away sweat, keeping you comfortable.

Jacket for warmth

Poncho or rain jacket. Rain pants are a personal choice.

Buff

Lightweight sleeping bag

Water bottle or hydration pack

Sarong or Shemagh. I recommend this as a must-have item as it can be used for many things, like a scarf, a wrap for after the shower, a towel, a blanket to sit on, make a bag for the evenings, many different outfits like a jacket, skirt or top – just to name a few.

Something to sleep in, especially when in shared accommodation.

Credential

First aid kit – especially for blister care. For more on blister prevention, check out this guide here.

Toiletries

Earplugs – you will need them if staying in Albergues.

You’ll need to carry most of your gear, so go for lightweight options.

Extra gear if going to camp along the way

Tent

Cooker

Food utensils

Head torch

Sleeping mat and pillow

Extra gear if going in the cooler months

Thermal top and pants (optional)

Gloves to keep the hands warm

Beanie to keep your head warm

Warmer sleeping bag

Choose a pack between 35-50L, depending on your frame and how much you can carry.

Maps and guidebooks

There are so many to choose from with the most popular being the Camino Guides by John Brierly. Don’t forget online information such as the Camino forum which you can check out here. There is also some helpful information at the Confraternity of Saint James, which you can look at here.

Pack service

If you want the experience of walking the Camino but not carrying a pack, there are many companies that offer this daily service for as little as €7.

You have the option for a pack carrying service if that’s your preference.

Do I need to speak Spanish?

I always feel that when visiting another country, it’s respectful to try and speak their language if possible. But, if you’re like me and are terrible at languages then don’t fear as you can get by with a few words of English.

I’d recommend learning some of the basics though, such as:

Hola – Hello

Buenos días – Good morning

Buenas Noches – Good evening

Adiós – Goodbye

Por favour – Please

Gracias – Thank you

Da nada – You’re welcome

Perdone – Sorry/excuse me

Donde está….? – Where is….?

Cuanto cuesta….? – How much is….?

Quisiera – I’d like to…

It’s always nice to learn a few phrases to make it easier to talk to the locals.

Arriving in Santiago de Compostela

Each pilgrim arrives in Santiago full of many emotions. For some it’s been a journey of self-discovery, a challenge achieved or a spiritual journey. Whatever the reason for one to walk a Camino, they all end with a sense of change within themselves. For some, the journey is not over as they may choose to continue along for the extra few days walking out to Finisterre (considered the end of the world) or onto Muxia. Some will just simply turn around and walk back or chose another path.

On arrival in Santiago, pilgrims gather in the main arena in front of the Cathedral celebrating their achievements with fellow pilgrims. Within the cathedral, many will pay respect to St. James and stay for the ‘pilgrims’ service where they are blessed and cleansed by the swinging of a large Botafumeiro filled with burning incense. This is considered a cleansing for the pilgrims.

Pilgrims present their credential to the pilgrim’s office where they can collect their final stamp and receive their Compostela (a certificate of completion).

The culmination of the Camino de Santiago route – the Santiago de Compostela.

My Thoughts

I have walked many different pilgrimages throughout the world and consider them to be a walk like no other. If you ever get the chance to experience a pilgrimage or Camino, then do it! You won’t regret it.

Would you consider walking a pilgrimage?

How to begin playing 바카라필승법 baccarat on the internet

Most people are aware 바카라필승법 공유 of the massive poker market, which exists both online and offline. However, the person may prefer to use the internet over a real casino because online casinos are considerably more handy for many people. There are several online poker and casino websites available, but some people may not be aware of how to use them. If someone wants to play internet poker baccarat, they must first choose a site with which they are comfortable. If a person does not have a specific poker website in mind, they might utilize a search engine to locate one.

When it comes to playing internet poker baccarat, the next step is to register with the poker website. The majority of the time, this procedure is free. Any gaming activities of the player will require a credit card or ATM card, although joining up and visiting the online poker casino is usually free. After registering, a user may access the site’s card rooms and play an internet poker card game. The individual will be able to play against strangers from all over the world, but certain poker websites will also allow the user to create a table only for them and their pals.

Many individuals desire to learn 실시간 바카라필승법 how to play internet poker baccarat, but they are unsure where to begin. It’s a simple procedure that takes only a few minutes to complete. As a result, an internet poker baccarat game is only a few minutes away.

For home 로투스 바카라필승법 poker and baccarat, the best option is to use high-quality playing cards.

Whether you’re playing Texas Holdem poker, bridging, shuffleboard, pinochle, or any other classic baccarat game, playing cards are an important part of the experience. Nothing beats folding and presenting a fresh deck of cards for a serious card player. They have a good crisp feel to them, as well as brilliant, easy-to-read print, vibrant colors, and the ability to slide effortlessly over the table.

If you’ve ever played home poker or social baccarat using cheap discount dollar store playing cards made of low-grade paper, you know how fast these cards wear out. As the paper fibers split and the edges tear, you’ve seen them become thicker and sloppy.

They were sticky and difficult to shuffle and deal with after being contaminated by food, skin oils, or liquid contamination from the table surface. If they get a drink spill, it’s a disaster, so get a new deck! After a few hands, the wearing process began to manifest. They rapidly developed wrinkles, as well as twisted or missing corners. For the keen-eyed players, these imperfections revealed the identities of the cards. With these low-end cards, you’d be lucky if you had more than one or two nights of decent use.

Choosing top professional, casino or card room grade cards for your home poker or social 안전한 바카라필승법 baccarat reduces or even eliminates these issues. When you buy higher-quality playing cards, you receive a more durable card that is less prone to degradation from repeated use.

Plastic coated casino cards are made with high-quality paper and a high-quality plastic covering. Plastic coated cards keep their sharpness and fresh card feel for a longer period of time. They stay upright for extended periods of intensive play without bending or ripping, and the writing and graphics remain bright and crisp. Plastic-coated playing cards can be cleaned, but any paper-based card should avoid contact with liquids.

Your best buying choice for the most durability and lifespan is premium casino grade playing cards made entirely of plastic. Because they do not deteriorate at the same pace as traditional playing cards, all-plastic cards can last up to fifty times longer. The high-quality, all-plastic construction of these cards ensures that they will survive for years. They keep their sharpness, sharp writing, and sharp pictures, and they can be cleaned with a wet cloth if they get dirty. They only need to be washed and dried before they can be used again.

While all-plastic playing cards are initially more expensive, they are the most cost-effective playing card purchase in the long run due to their durability and extended service life. All-plastic cards may be found at high-end department and chain shops, as well as sport and gaming specialist stores and online poker, bridge, and playing card specialty websites.

As the host, you want your poker or social baccarat game to be as fun as possible for you and 검증된 바카라필승법 your guests. You will spend less time playing with worn, sticky cards that are difficult to shuffle and deal, and you will need to change your cards less frequently if you get higher quality cards. Be a gracious host! Choose high-quality playing cards to guarantee that you and your playing partners have the best time possible while playing your favorite baccarat game.

The History of Blackjack and Baccarat

Baccarat, like everything else in life, has had its own growth. No one knows for sure when or where blackjack was invented; nevertheless, several historical baccarat games have characteristics with blackjack and can help us trace its origins. 바카라필승법 바로가기 https://robotbuilders.net

Vingt-Un

One of the original twenty-one games was named vingt-un or vingt-et-un in France in the early to mid-seventeenth century. The goal of this game, like blackjack, was to obtain 21 without busting. Initially, this was a private game that was not banked by casinos. The game was banked by the players, who took turns as dealers. If the game were played in a casino, the house would receive a cut of the dealer’s profits.

The rules 안전 바카라필승법 of vingt-et-un are as follows:

Only the dealer could dual

If a dealer had 21 (Ordinary) players paid him triple

A player could bet on each overweight of Vingt Et Un

An Ace was counted as 1 or 11

If a player has a Natural, it is paid as 2:1

In his book “The History of Playing Cards,” historian Rev. Ed. S. Taylor stated that vingt-et-un became popular in the mid-eighteenth century and was played by notables such as Mademe Du Barry, Louis XV’s mistress, as well as Emperor Napoleon.

Quinze

Quinze, a precursor of vingt-un, was a Spanish-inspired French game. The aim of quinze was to get to 15 points. The person who dealt the cards, not the house, was the one who banked this game. There were a lot of parallels to blackjack, but one major distinction was that if a player busted with more than 15, he didn’t have to announce it. He may sit and wait for the dealer to finish. The bets of the players that busted before the dealer were not lost.

There were a few psychological components to this game that made it intriguing. The dealer was not required to follow house rules, and the players were not required 바카라필승법 주소 to proclaim a bust. As a result, it was not uncommon for players to try to conceal a powerful or poor hand. Aristocratic athletes were known to hide their emotions behind masks.

Sette et Mezzo

Sette e Mezzo, often known as seven and a half, was a 17th-century Italian game. The aim was to score 7 12 without going bust, similar to vingt-un and blackjack. This game was played using a 40-card deck that was devoid of all 8s, 9s, and 10s. A Latin-suited 40-card pack with suits of Coins, Cups, Clubs, and Swords was often used in Spain and portions of Italy.

learn the secret to eos파워볼사이트 win the powerball

Players that burst before the dealer could not keep their wagers in this game, unlike in quinze. Because the dealer was not bound by house rules, a psychological element of the game emerged, with players attempting to dupe the dealer into making poor strategic decisions.

CNN suggests knowing your legislators, communicating with them and campaigning, no matter which way you lean (Read more: cnn.com/2016/11/15/politics/ways-to-be-more-politically-active-trnd/index.html).

Take a community painting class

Join a club that interests you

Ride horseback

Learn a new recipe

Take a Zumba or dance class

Try going vegetarian

Learn yoga

Take a self-defense course

Learn to meditate

Grow your own fruits and veggies

Mohegan Sun Pocono online gambling overview

Mohegan Sun Pocono applied for all three PA online gambling licenses in Pennsylvania. However, the casino failed to act before the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board’s (PGCB) deadline to receive a package discount of all three license types for $10 million.

As a result, Mohegan Sun shelled out $4 million each for three licenses that give them the ability to offer online slot play, online table games, and online poker. However, the property got a $4 million rebate when it decided to withdraw its online poker application.

Mohegan Sun’s online Unibet Casino and Sportsbook officially launched in Pennsylvania Nov. 15, 2019.

The Unibet retail sportsbook opened at Mohegan Pocono in late September, 2019. Mohegan followed that with another retail Unibet book at their off-track betting (OTB) facility The Downs in Lehigh Valley in early March, which proved unfortunate timing with all PA gaming shutting down temporarily for coronavirus precautions in mid-March.

Today the sprawling property known as Mohegan Sun Pocono occupies 400 acres and 82,000 square feet of gaming space. The only possible problem for a gambler at this place is deciding which game to play.

Signature events

Casino security

Who can play in the casino?

The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board PGCB, rather than the individual casinos and racetracks, has the authority to set the minimum age for gambling in the State of Pennsylvania, which is 21 for casino gambling and 18 for gambling on horse races. Accordingly, at Mohegan Sun Pocono, no one under age 21 is allowed on the casino floor. Minors, accompanied by an adult, are permitted in the racetrack area, but only those age 18 and older are legally allowed to wager.

Security and fairness

All of the 12 currently operating legal brick and mortar casinos in the State of Pennsylvania, including Mohegan Sun Pocono, are subject to the rules and regulations of the PGCB. Mohegan Sun Pocono, like its competitors, is closely monitored to ensure that it acts responsibly in all aspects of its operation and continues to meet this agency’s strict standards for security and fairness.

Casino games

Mohegan Sun Pocono is a full-service casino in every sense of the word. Whether your preferences run to slots, video poker, traditional casino table games, or poker, this is a place where you will have no trouble finding games to your liking. This popular gambling mecca is also a racino, so whenever you feel like taking a break from the slots or tables, additional action and excitement await you with live and simulcast racing.

Slots

If you are a slot player, you will be right in your element at Mohegan Sun Pocono. If you have any problem at all, it will be in deciding what to play first out of more than 2,300 slot machines in denominations ranging from one cent to $100, incorporating the latest cutting edge technology.

This casino offers everything from familiar favorites to the latest variations of these popular games to some of the newest slot machines on the market. All of the Mohegan Sun slot machines use coinless ticket-in and ticket-out technology.

Some of the featured games include:

Monopoly

Hot Shot Progressives

Dragon Spin

Hot Hot 8 Bier Haus

Hot Shot Twin Fire

Playboy Club

88 Fortunes

Grand Dragon

Panda King

Britney Spears

If only the slots paid better

Some slot players complain about the smell of smoke. But judging by the infrequency of such complaints on review sites for this casino compared to other Pennsylvania casinos, Mohegan Sun may be doing a better job keeping the smell of smoke out of the nonsmoking areas of the casino. That is not to say that there is not still room for improvement.

That being said, Mohegan Sun slot players complain vociferously about the machines being too tight. It really doesn’t matter which casino one chooses, though. Slot players are uniformly saying that the slot payouts fall far short of their expectations all across Pennsylvania.

It is not their imagination or a temporary run of bad luck that leads players to say it is tough for a slot player to win in Pennsylvania. It really is tougher than in many other states because the average return to the player (RTP) is only 88-90 percent.

According to the regulations of the PGCB, a Pennsylvania casino would be in compliance with a slot payout of only 85 percent. The average payouts (for all slot machines combined) are better than the minimum at all of the Pennsylvania casinos, but not a whole lot better.

You might improve your chances somewhat by avoiding penny slot machines and playing a higher denomination machine with a better RTP. Also, keep your sessions short. If you are winning, make sure you leave a winner before you give the machine a chance to take back all of your winnings and more. If you are losing, set a limit on your losses and settle for coming back another time when maybe your luck will be better.

Video poker

Video poker players can also choose from many popular varieties. In addition, as an example of the growing trend to offer gaming and non-gaming amenities in the same setting, the Sunburst Bar in the center of the casino offers 33 multi-game video poker machines.

Table games

Mohegan Sun Pocono is home to more than 90 table games, so expect to find not only all of the most frequently played games and different variations of them, but other games that are brand new to you. Your many options include the following:

Blackjack

Roulette

Mini-baccarat

Mississippi stud

Pai gow

Pai gow tiles

Let It Ride

Three card poker

Spanish 21

Big Six

As with slots and video poker, table games players can choose from a wide range of bet sizes. Whatever game you select, be sure to familiarize yourself with the rules and correct playing strategy beforehand.

It is best to avoid American roulette. The combination of both a single and double zero on the wheel raises the house edge to 5.26 percent. You are better off playing single zero only European roulette with a house edge Current sidebar:of 2.70 percent.

Blackjack

Some additional comments are worth noting about blackjack due to its great popularity. For starters, this is a casino that appears to be making an effort to accommodate as many people as possible who want to play this game. Special handicap-accessible blackjack tables are available. Furthermore, low stakes players will be pleased to know that $5 blackjack tables are now being offered 24/7.

Blackjack is a game in which the likelihood of winning depends not just on luck, but on a combination of both luck and the player’s skill. Knowing and applying the correct basic strategy can go a long way towards keeping the house edge on this game to a minimum.

That said, depending on where the game is being played, and sometimes even at different tables in the same casino, the rules can vary considerably, and these rule differences can also make a particular game either easier or harder to beat. Pennsylvania players are fortunate because the rules for blackjack in Pennsylvania casinos, as set by the PGCB, are among the most liberal in the country. Regardless of whether you play at Mohegan Sun Pocono or any other Pennsylvania casino, the blackjack game you will be offered will have these basic rules:

Blackjack pays 3:2

Dealer stands on soft 17

Doubling down permitted on any two cards

Doubling down after splits

Splits up to three hands (except aces)

Late surrender

This game, when played according to correct basic strategy, has a house edge of only about .40 percent. However, different casinos may add one or more optional proposition bets with a higher house edge. Mohegan Sun Pocono offers a bet at their blackjack tables called Blazing 7s, featuring a progressive jackpot.

Blazing 7s Blackjack

Regardless of the amount of the original bet, a bet on Blazing 7s is always for $5. In order to win this bet, at least one of the first three cards dealt to you must be a seven. However, the more sevens you have in your hand, the more you win. Two sevens pay more than one and three, even more than two. The highest payouts occur when the three sevens are colored or suited. If your hand is comprised of three sevens that are all the same color, but different suits, you win 10 percent of the jackpot. However, if the three sevens are suited (three identical cards), you win the entire jackpot.

If you take a third card and go over 21, you bust and lose your regular bet, but the outcome of your Blazing 7s bet is not affected. Therefore, if either or both of your first two cards is a seven, the correct strategy for Blazing 7s is never to stand on your two card total, even if the play is contrary to basic strategy. Always hit or double. With a pair of sevens, hit or split, hoping that your third card will also be a seven. The Blazing 7 payouts are as follows:

Three suited sevens earn 100 percent of jackpot

Three colored sevens 10 percent of jackpot

Any three sevens pays 200 for 1

Two sevens pays 25 for 1

One seven pays 2 for 1

Fusion hybrid games

Mohegan Sun Pocono also offers this alternative way of playing. A single player terminal connects the player at the same time with up to four live table games. There are four colored tabs on the touchscreen, letting you switch back and forth.

A player can wager on up to four games at a time with just the touch of a finger. Having more chances to win adds to the excitement.

Poker

Mohegan Sun Pocono has a separate 18-table poker room, which unlike the rest of the casino, is completely nonsmoking. Amenities include several flat screen TVs and a bar. The cash games include the same varieties that are usually found in today’s poker rooms: Limit and no-limit Texas hold ‘em, Omaha and Omaha hi-lo, and stud. There are a variety of stakes to choose from as well.

Adding to the action and excitement, there are frequently scheduled multi-table and Sit-N-Go tournaments, and a high hand jackpot is paid out three times a day as well. The qualifying time periods for the jackpot are 10 a.m.-4 p.m., 4 p.m.-10 p.m., and 10 p.m.-10 a.m. The player with the best hand during each time period wins the jackpot.

There are two regularly scheduled no-limit hold ‘em tournaments daily, in either a traditional or bounty format, with the first starting at 11 a.m. or noon and the second starting at 7 p.m. The buy-in ranges from $30 to $230.

Sit-N-Go tournaments (SNGs) also run daily, subject to table availability and interest. Buy-ins range from $60 to $250.

From October through December, during the Sunday, Monday, and Thursday night NFL games, the poker room offers a special Pro Football Splash Pot promotion. Every time a team scores a field goal, touchdown, or safety, a lucky table is selected to have $50, $100, or $150, respectively splashed into the pot. If the Philadelphia Eagles or Pittsburgh Steelers are playing, the amount splashed into the pot is doubled.

Racing

The Downs at Mohegan Sun Pocono offers evening live harness racing from mid-March through November. During the month of March, Tuesdays and Saturdays are the only racing days. However, from April through November, live racing takes place most Sundays and Mondays as well as on Tuesdays and Saturdays. Moreover, there is also dailywagering on simulcast races at other tracks. Parking and admission are both free.

Momentum Rewards program

Players who do not already have a Momentum card should pick one up the next time they are in the casino. Membership is completely free and allows you to be rewarded for all of your play, not only at Mohegan Sun Pocono, but at the Mohegan Sun Casino in Connecticut as well. Just for signing up, you receive $10 in free slot play, and if you sign up for exclusive email offers, you receive an additional $10.

Every time you play using your card, you earn both Momentum Dollars and Status Points. Momentum Dollars can be used to spend on the amenities of your choice at the Mohegan Sun Pocono or, if you prefer, at the Mohegan Sun in Connecticut or the newest casino partner of Mohegan Sun, Resorts Casino Hotel in Atlantic City.

Each Momentum dollar is equivalent to $1 in spending money. You can use your Momentum Dollars towards amenities like hotel stays, dining, shopping, spa services, and entertainment. They can also online shopping at the online Momentum store.

Your status level in the casino’s five-tiered program is based on Status Points. Each higher level opens the door to additional rewards and privileges.

How to accrue points

Status Point qualifying periods are the six-month periods January-June and July-December. In order to advance to a higher level and then maintain that level, the player needs to earn the specified minimum number of Status Points. The five status levels in the Mohegan Sun Momentum Rewards program are:

Core (starting level)

Ignite (50 or more Status Points)

Leap ( 100 or more Status Points)

Ascend (400 or more Status Points)

Soar (1,200 or more Status Points)

Choice Credits are complimentary credits players at the three top levels earn each month. These credits can be used towards things like:

Hotel stays

VIP Lounge access

Buffet

Entertainment

Converted into Momentum Dollars

Unlike Momentum Dollars, Choice Credits cannot be rolled over and must be used the same month they are issued. Additionally, they can only be used at Mohegan Sun Pocono.

Personal Achievement Awards are based on Status Point earnings per trip. Players earn extra Choice Credits if they hit their specified individual Status Point goal.

Benefits for each tier

Additional benefits for players at the Ignite level and higher include:

Complimentary beverage service while playing table games

Complimentary scooter rental

VIP Lounge access with one guest Sunday-Thursday for 10 Momentum Dollars or Choice Credits

Like the Ignite level players, those at the Leap level receive the same Sunday-Thursday VIP Lounge access, but for only five Momentum Dollars or Choice Credits. Additional perks include shopping discounts and complimentary tickets (based on play and availability) for Wise Crackers Comedy Club.

Ten percent off on all spa services

Additional shopping discounts

Two rounds of complimentary golf each month

Summary

Out of all the casinos in Pennsylvania, Mohegan Sun Pocono is one of the standouts. It should be clear from this review that Mohegan Sun is the complete package, not only offering a large and diverse selection of games appealing to different types of gamblers, but also many other things that can add to a visitor’s enjoyment. Mohegan Sun Pocono is one of the few Pennsylvania gambling facilities that offer a casino, racetrack, and first-rate hotel with varied non-gambling amenities.

Many comments on sites like TripAdvisorand Yelp give both the hotel and the casino a five-star rating, describing the place as a “beautiful hotel,” with spacious rooms, “very helpful staff,” easy to get to, and with a nice casino, good entertainment, and plenty of food options. Additionally, visitors find the facility to be very clean and not overly crowded on weekdays. They find that having a racetrack adjoining the casino adds to the fun.

Of course, like any other casino, Mohegan Sun isn’t perfect. One complaint that comes up repeatedly is that the slots are too tight. Players say that it is nearly impossible to win on the slots. Slot players also don’t like having to pay for drinks, and the consensus of slot and table game players alike is that the beverage service could be faster. Another complaint of many players is that they feel the casino is being too tight with comps.

Despite the noted areas where there is clearly need for improvement, the overall consensus is that Mohegan Sun Pocono is a fun place to visit, gamble, enjoy good food, and be entertained and that it is worth the trip.

Buyback Boss is who I continue to use whenever we upgrade to a new phone because they guarantee the most money for your phone and they send same-day payments via check or PayPal.

If you have an old phone in a drawer somewhere, why not sell it today and get paid ASAP? Think of that old phone as cash sitting in your drawer that you need right now.

You can also downgrade to last year’s model (often getting the phone for a few dollars with a new contract) and sell your current phone for up to $475. Here’s a screenshot I snapped of the latest offer I received on my current used phone (iPhone X) in good condition.

2. Get Money Sent to Your PayPal For Your Opinion

Survey Junkie is a great place to start because cash can be deposited into your PayPal account, or you can get paid out via Amazon or Target gift cards for simply giving you opinion online.

We also have a full list of all different types of survey companies who are looking to pay people for their opinions on different products and brands. You can see the full list of the top survey companies here.

Our Top Pick: Survey Junkie has been around since 2005 and is the most trusted in the survey industry with a Trustpilot Rating of 4.4/5.

You can start making money today by checking out Survey Junkie here.

3. Deliver Food, Drinks and Groceries to People

Have you heard of Postmates?

Postmates is a service where people can order food, drinks and groceries and have them available for delivery or pickup. The people who provide that service and get paid, are people just like yourself.

Postmates states that experienced couriers can earn up to $25 an hour and work on their own hours.

However, if you only want to deliver groceries to people, then you should also sign up for Instacart.

Instacart pays people quickly to deliver groceries from grocery store to their clients doorstep. Currently, people working with Instacart are making anywhere from $50 – $1,000 per month as a side hustle.

4. Become an Uber Driver

Uber is a great option if you have a car and like interacting with people. There are two additional reasons to consider driving for Uber:

Flexible hours

Weekly pay

Signup incentive for new drivers

Another reason to consider Uber is for their schedule flexibility; you drive when you have time and aren’t beholden to a specific shift or having to be available at least X hours a week.

You can find more information here to determine if driving with Uber is right for you.

5. Deliver for Uber Eats

Uber Eats allows you earn on your own schedule by delivering food from restaurants to people.

The best thing about Uber Eats is you get to choose your wheels based on the city you live in. Depending on your city, you can deliver for Uber Eats via your car, bike or scooter. Just turn on the app in the morning before work, when you get home, or whenever you have some extra time to make money on your terms.

Also, the driver qualifications are less stringent for Uber Eats. In case you don’t meet the age and vehicle requirements to be a full-fledged Uber driver, you can be an Uber Eats driver until then.

6. Become an Airbnb Host

Become and Airbnb Host and you can start making really good income each month. There are many of benefits to being a homeowner, including the option to rent out your unused rooms for cash. But, by becoming an Airbnb host, travelers stay in your spare bedroom, basement, or second house.

Real estate is one time-tested approach to earning passive income and Airbnb can be less stressful than being a full-time landlord or trying to fix and flip houses for a profit. And, you get to interact with visitors coming from all corners of the world!

7. Get Paid to Play Games

Yes, you can actually get paid to play games.

Mistplay is one of the very best places to get started.

The reason is online game creators need to have their games tested by real people before they launch it out to the market.

For testing out their games on you mobile device, apps like Mistplay will pay via credits. These credits can then be cashed out in the form of different gift cards, including Visa or Amazon gift cards.

We also put together a full list of places that will pay you to play games here.

8. Save Money and Make Money with the Honey App

The Honey App will search every online coupon for you and apply the best promo code at your checkout for free. This is the first way to save money.

Also, for every 2 people you refer to Honey, they will pay you $10 in the form of popular gift cards like Amazon, Walmart and Target.

By reducing how much you spend, you won’t have to earn as much money from these side hustles. Honey makes it easy to save money when you shop online by automatically applying every known discount code to your order when you checkout.

If you shop at Amazon, Honey also compares the prices of third-party sellers to the current Amazon price to quickly spot the lowest price so you pay less for the exact same product.

With no additional effort, Honey saves you money on products you are going to purchase regardless. Now, make sure you put your savings to good use!

Read the Honey App review to discover Peach’s triple savings online shopping trick.

9. Complete Mini-Online Tasks

Swagbucks is the best place to start when for getting paid to complete tasks such as reading emails, surfing the web, playing games, shopping online and using mobile apps to name a few.

BONUS: One thing I really like about Swagbucks is the option to donate to one of the many charities they work with.

Our Top Pick: The most widely known company is Swagbucks, with a Trust Pilot Rating of 4.3/5..

With Swagbucks, you earn swagbucks that can be redeemed for cash via your PayPal or through gift cards to places like Walmart, Amazon, Express, or even Bass Pro Shops.

10. Trim Automatically Gets Rid of Your “Gray Charges”

Ask Trim makes it easy to “work smarter and not harder.” For free, Trim monitors your spending, account balances, and can even reduce your monthly bill amount in the following categories:

Cable, cell phone, and internet

Car insurance

Unwanted subscriptions

With a single text message or Facebook Messenger request, Trim works on your behalf to find discounts on your current monthly bills or cancel the services–streaming plans including Hulu and Spotify, insurance, and gym membership– you no longer use but are still paying for.

You will realize the savings the next time you get ready to pay your bills and realize there’s more money in your bank account than usual; and you never lifted a finger.

Read our full Trim Review to learn about all of Trim’s benefits to save you money.

11. Get a quick $10 with Ebates (now called Rakuten)

Ebates sends you cash via PayPal for shopping online or in stories at places you already normally shop.

Let’s be clear, unnecessary shopping is one of the last activities you need to do if you need to get money fast, but that doesn’t mean you can’t be a smart shopper for those unavoidable purchases. My wife and I shop with Ebates and get up to 40% cash back on nearly every online purchase.

Ebates cashback arrives once a quarter via PayPal or mailed check and you can get a bonus by referring your friends to shop with Ebates too. Using Ebates is like getting paid to shop.

Also, you can get a free $10 when you create an account with eBates today.

12. Become a TaskRabbit

There are people who need simple tasks completed but simply don’t have the time. Whether it’s putting together furniture from iKea, delivering a dresser across town, or trimming some overgrown bushes in the backyard – people will hire you.

Here are the top three places to find work using your phone:

TaskRabbit

OfferUp

Facebook Marketplace

Simply create a bio about yourself and then start looking for the task requests to pour in. I personally can tell you I utilize one of these three apps a week to find someone to do tasks for me!

13. Freelance Online with Fiverr

Freelancing online with Fiverr is another great way to make money online. With Fiverr, you use your talents online without performing manual labor. Here are some of the possible gigs you can perform:

Writing blog posts

Graphic design

Website design

Creating YouTube videos

Translation

Proofreading

Voice Over

Jingles, sound effects, and songs

Similar to Fiverr, Upwork is another great platform for aspiring freelancers.

I have been freelancing online for the past two years and it’s been an excellent source of supplemental income because you can truly work from anywhere in the world with an internet connection and get paid.

14. Sell Locally on Craigslist

Bulky items aren’t cost-effective to sell online because they cost too much to ship. When that’s the case, sell locally with Craigslist or another app to sell locally. We periodically sell our unwanted items during the year and pocket 100% profit because it’s free to sell on these apps.

Beyond Craigslist, there are also dozens of other similar websites where you can sell your stuff locally as well.

15. Scan Grocery Receipts and Get $10

Earlier we told you ways to make money delivering through places like Postmates, Instacart and Uber Eats. However, there is still other money to be made by simply scanning grocery receipts.

Scanning grocery receipts for money is a real thing and there are over 20 apps that allow you to get started. While some are better than others, we recommend starting with the most popular receipts scanning app, Ibotta.

Our Top Pick: We like Ibotta because you can redeem digital offers plus your regular coupons for many food items at most supermarkets and even discount stores like Walmart and Target, and you also get a $10 sign-up bonus. When your rewards balance reaches $20, you can request PayPal payment or a gift card.

16. Picking Up Dog Poop

You can also make money picking up dog poop when you don’t have the time to walk dogs or pet sit. Why? Because it only takes a few minutes to clean up a backyard compared to keeping a pet for several hours.

One man operates a full-time business picking up dog poop for a premium in the Phoenix area. You can scroll down to #70 on this side hustle list to see a video of how he turned dog poop into a full-time income.

17. Cancel Your Cable TV Subscription

The average household cable TV bill is over $120 a month and most people only watch 20 of the 100s of channels to choose from. We dumped our cable years ago and use services like Hulu for our favorite shows with SlingTV for a total of $26/month (and no contracts).

By cutting the cord, you instantly save $100 a month on cable TV by streaming live and on-demand programming over your high-speed internet. Sling TV can be watch with any flat screen TV, computer, or mobile device.

BONUS: If you’re a fan of the 90’s TGIF shows like me, Hulu now offers Full House, Family Matters, Step by Step, Perfect Strangers and Hangin with Mr. Cooper.

18. Switch to a Health Sharing Plan

You may not realize it, but health insurance is one of the largest monthly expenses. Switching to an affordable health sharing plan saves my family 75% in health insurance premiums compared to traditional health insurance. Honestly, it’s probably one of the best financial moves we made when I became self-employed.

Our Top Pick: There are many great health sharing options, but our favorite is Medi-Share because of the affordability AND their own MDLive program: a FREE add on that gives you 24/7 access to a doctor visit via your smartphone, which saves you time and money on co-pays!

19. Refinance Your Debt

High interest rates on unsecured debt like credit cards will cause you to pay thousands of dollars more than the original amount borrowed.

Our Top Pick: Credible is the company we recommend because they tell you right away what your new rates will be. Unlike some other personal loan companies, Credible does not have any origination or application fees, and they make it simple to get started with only one form to fill out which should only take about 2 minutes. They also have a Trustpilot Rating of 9.5/10.

Instead of paying 15% – 24% interest rates on your credit cards, you may be able to lower your interest rate down to 4.99%!

Not a bad way to spend 2 minutes at all if it can save you thousands of dollars in interest to the bank.

20. Rent Out Your Car

If you don’t drive your car every day or have the time to be an Uber driver, you can make some extra cash by renting your car on Turo. You can earn approximately $541 a month ($6,501 a year) when your car is worth $20,000 and it’s borrowed 15 days a month. This income can easily cover your monthly insurance premium and car payment.

Considering most cars are depreciating assets that lose value every day and cost money to maintain, renting your car on Turo is one of the very few ways your car can actually make money for you.

You will receive payment within five days after a rental period ends.

21. Sell Unwanted Gift Cards

Sometimes, you don’t have to work to make money because you already have it in unwanted gift cards. Instead of letting your gift cards collect dust, sell them on Gift Card Granny.

You can sell your unused and partially used gift cards quickly with three different selling options:

Sell It Now

Name Your Price

Trade In

Gift Card Granny finds the best price on the top gift card marketplaces and you get paid almost instantly when a sale is made.

I have sold several gift cards online almost always within 24 hours of posting and payment is sent via PayPal within three business days. Selling gift cards is one of the quickest ways to get money fast because of the quick turnaround.

22. Sell Unused Clothing

As your fashion tastes change or your children grow older, you might find yourself with a closet full of clothes you’ll never wear again. While you can sell them at a yard sale or local consignment shop, you might also consider selling online at thredUP for men’s, women’s, and children’s clothing.

For designer clothing you wish to keep but don’t plan to wear in the near future, Rent the Runway lets you rent your high-end articles for up to one month at a time.

Finally, my wife has also had success selling on eBay and Poshmark. To increase the odds of selling your items, make sure to take plenty of pictures and consider wearing them or putting them on a mannequin so the buyer can visualize how the item fits.

23. Sell Your Old Books

You can also make a quick buck by selling your used books and textbooks that you’ll no longer read. Selling our old books is another way we boost our income each year and you can start with these three sites:

Amazon Marketplace

Cash4Books

Bookscouter (Textbooks only)

Selling is easy as you only have to enter the ISBN to receive an instant quote from Cash4Books and Bookscouter. If you like the price, you ship the books for free using their prepaid shipping label and you will be paid via PayPal once your shipment arrives and is processed.

I recommend using Bookscouter for selling your textbooks as they compare the prices of 42 buyback vendors in a single search; saving you time while finding the best buyer.

24. Sell Movies, Music, and Video Games

You can also make some extra cash by selling your old DVDs, CDs, and video games with Bonavendi. With their app, you can scan barcodes and compare the prices of 28 companies including Amazon and Best Buy.

25. Sell Old Electronics

Decluttr can be the most efficient app to sell your old electronics, smartphone, and tech gadgets. The Decluttr app scans item barcodes and you receive next-day payments via PayPal and direct deposit once Decluttr receives your shipment. College students can also receive a 10% bonus payment to earn a little extra cash.

26. Sell Used Furniture

Did you recently upgrade your living room or dining room set? If there’s still some life in your old furniture collection, get a few bucks for it. Craigslist or letgo can be your best friend to attract college students and young couples that only need something affordable, but Trove Market is another option for more valuable pieces.

27. Sell Your Car

Another way to raise cash quickly is to sell a car you no longer need. Even if you need to sell your fancy ride and drive a clunker instead, how else can you access $10,000+ instantly.

I sold my $20,000 sports car and now drive a very reliable $4,000 vehicle instead. Although I don’t turn as many heads as before, the $16,000 in cash proceeds was split between our savings and an extra house payment.

28. Have a Yard Sale

Decluttering helps you discover a small fortune sitting underneath your roof. The only problem is that you must sell your stuff to get cash. Having a yard sale is one of the quickest ways to sell most of your items in a weekend.

Coordinating your yard sale with your neighborhood sale is a good idea, but you should also post your sale on:

Craigslist

Facebook Marketplace

Your local newspaper

29. Donate Plasma

There’s a perpetual demand for plasma to treat rare, chronic diseases and you can make $400 each month by donating plasma. Maybe this is something you or your friends did in college for some extra “weekend money.” You must be at least 110 pounds, at least 18-years-old in most states to donate and free of certain illnesses.

30. Babysit

Parents sometimes need a break–date night— from their children and need to hire a babysitter. Besides asking for your family and friends for gigs, you can always advertise your services on Care.com.

31. Pet Sitting and Dog Walking

Animals need loving too and you can make just as much money pet sitting when their owners leave town or work long hours. Dog walking is another daily hustle opportunity as you take the dogs on their daily walk so their owner doesn’t have to.

Believe it or not, some professional dog walkers make $100,000 a year for doing something that millions of dog owners do every day for free.

Two places to begin advertising your pet sitting and dog walking services are Care and Rover.

32. Clean Houses

If you keep a clean house, put your skills to work by cleaning other people’s houses or office buildings in your spare time. Care.com can help you connect you with homeowners that don’t have the time to clean their house. Another great resource is Craigslist and looking in the “Part-Time Jobs” section.

33. Mow Lawns

When the grass is green, make money mowing lawns in your neighborhood and around town. Mowing lawns can be the perfect seasonal job if you need to make extra money in the summer when school is out or there’s more sunlight to work outside in the evenings.

34. Shovel Snow

You can also make money during the winter shoveling driveways and sidewalks. By owning a truck and plow, you can earn more keeping parking lots clean. Because snow removal is more labor-intensive than mowing a lawn, you can earn more per property than mowing (I did at least).

35. Clean Gutters and Rake Leaves

In the fall, you can also rake leaves and clean gutters before winter sets in. Once again, these are simple tasks that most homeowners simple don’t enjoy doing and offer a decent income if you enjoy working outside.

36. Pressure Wash Houses

Most houses need to be pressure washed every two or three years to maintain that “new” look. Many homeowners either don’t own a pressure washer or don’t have the time to keep their siding clean. You can advertise your services online or simply start knocking on doors to get your first clients.

37. Paint Houses

If you own a paint sprayer, can smoothly roll paint, or know how to seamlessly cut in wall edges, painting houses is another possibility. This is one task most homeowners won’t attempt on their own, especially if they aren’t a skilled painter or they are preparing to sell their house and want a professional-quality job.

38. Become a Handyman

Property management is a huge business beyond yard work, you can use your hands to help your neighbors with various home tasks with Takl or TaskRabbit including:

Home improvement

Mounting and installing new household devices

Furniture assembly

Moving and packing

39. Collect Scrap Metal

You or your family and friends might have a garage full of old household appliances. Maybe you have acquired a small scrap metal collection from your other side hustle opportunities. Regardless of how you (legally) collect your scrap, taking your ferrous and non-ferrous metal to a local scrap yard will yield an instant payment.

Some of the best ferrous and non-ferrous metals to collect are:

Aluminum

Brass

Copper

Steel

You will get the best price by bringing a single, large load compared to many small loads–even if they’re the same weight. Scrap yards have an easier time selling larger quantities to buyers and reward you with a volume bonus for making their job easier.

40. Deliver Newspapers

Newspaper routes are a steady part-time income stream if you can work in the early morning hours before your regular job or classes. If there are multiple newspaper in your town, you can also apply for a route that might deliver only a few days per week–instead of all seven– if you can’t commit to delivering papers every day of the week.

41. Deliver Phone Books

A one-time, seasonal hustle is delivering phone books five days a week. You need to be at least 18-years-old and have a driver’s license to participate. PDC is one of the largest delivery companies and they might be looking for delivery people like you.

42. Cut Firewood

Many people still heat their houses with wood in the winter or need wood for summer camping trips, but they don’t have access to their own firewood source. Or, they don’t have the time to cut their own wood. Cutting and delivering firewood is another in-demand income stream.

Summary

It doesn’t matter if you want to pursue a side hustle, sell some of your belongings, or cut spending, there are multiple ways to get money fast. We all have different skills and schedules so you pick the ideas that work best for you. No matter which ideas you pick, you can’t go wrong because you’re improving your financial situation.

Malapascua is one of the smallest inhabited island in the Philippines. It only measures 2.5 by 1 kilometer. Being a cleaning station for thresher sharks and manta rays and a home to diverse coral species, Malapascua became a famous dive site. The island is also a host to multiple white-sand beaches and interesting rock formations.

Malapascua, by the way, floats 6.8 kilometers northeast of Cebu island.

Malapascua’s northern strip, Langub Beach

I’ve been receiving recommendations to see Malapascua since I moved to Cebu. Hence, when I finally got a chance, I boarded a bus off to Maya port, where Malapascua-bound boats are waiting to convey passengers.

The trip was completely random. I decided to visit the island one Friday night, and then I was on the island immediately the morning after that. Like most of my trips, I traveled alone. It’s really hard to drag someone else on random trip, anyway.

In the afternoon, when the sun’s heat no longer pains, children gather on its stunning beachfront to play. They witness such awesome sunset everyday, and for them, it’s just ordinary. But for me, it’s phenomenal. I am always amazed, though I grew in a village facing the sunset.

Always a beautiful sunset

The island is powered with a generator set where most of the consumption go to the hotel operators. The street lights in tourist areas are battery-powered and charged using solar panels on top of each posts. The residential areas are dark at night, it seems that the solar-powered lamp posts did not reach the inner section of the island.

Before the bright sunrise, fishermen cast their nets and rods on the shallow sea. A bounty catch would mean a feast.

If you want to witness the beauty of Malapascua with your own eyes, the guide below may be useful to you.

Kuala Lumpur.

You may also opt to fly to Manila, wherein there are more international flights available, and then transfer to a flight to Cebu.

If you are already within the Philippines, commercial flights to Cebu are also available from Clark, Legazpi, Caticlan (Boracay), Puerto Princesa, Kalibo, Iloilo, Davao, General Santos, Bacolod, Cagayan de Oro, Tacloban, Dumaguete, Pagadian, Siargao, Camiguin, and Butuan.

Ferries, such as TransAsia Shipping Lines, are also available from almost any point within the Visayas, northern Mindanao, southern Luzon, and even Manila.

From Cebu’s North Bus Terminal, hop on a bus (or passenger van) to Maya Port, Daanbantayan. The bus will take you directly to Barangay Maya’s newest seaport. The fare is ₱200.

From Maya port, board a passenger outrigger boat to Malapascua. There is a trip every 30 minutes from 06:00AM to 03:00PM. During peak season, this may extend to 04:30PM. Note that some schedule will be cancelled if the minimum 15 passenger requirement is not met. The fare is ₱100 per way. Students and elderly do have their own respective discounts.

If you are a big group and does not want to wait for other passengers, you can charter a boat for ₱1,500.

Follow the guide in reverse when you return from Malapascua to Cebu City, and then to your onward destination.

If you are coming from Bantayan Island, return to Hagnaya Port, and then hop on a bus to Bogo City. From Bogo bus terminal, transfer to another bus bound for Maya Port.

From Camotes Island, take a ferry to Danao. At the highway just outside Danao Port, hop on a bus to Maya port.

If you are coming from Carnaza Island, hop on an outrigger boat bound for Tapilon, and then take a tricycle or Bus to Maya Port. From there, you can transfer to another boat to Malapascua.

If you are coming from Kinatarcan Island, return to Daanbantayan, and then take a bus to Maya Port.

An island hopping stop: Free-diving in Malapacua’s Coral Garden

If you are on a shoestring budget, the following option may fit.

Malapascua Budget Inn

Malapascua budget Inn is TripAdvisor’s number 1 hostel in Malapascua Island. Dorm rooms start at ₱400 per bed while a double room starts at ₱2,000. A/C are available in all room. JR, the hostel owner, is very accommodating and he can organize special trips for you.

Most guests travel to Malapascua to see the thresher sharks and its impressive underwater communities. Almost all premium hotels in Malapascua offers dive tours. They have in-house PADI-certified dive centers manned with competent divers and instructors.

For non-divers, you can do the following:

Island hopping

Island hopping in Malapascua has three stops, namely; Dakit-dakit, Coral Garden, and Japanese Shipwreck.

Dakit-dakit islet is a snorkeling site, however, it seemed that the strongest typhoon that struck the island in 2013 flushed away all the living marine creatures beneath it. There are signs of blooming life though, as the corals and fishes started to return and recover.

Coral Garden offers stunning underwater ecosystem. The area is protected and fishing is banned. Bantay-Dagat personnel regularly patrol the area.

The sunken Japanese ship could give you an eerie feel. Only the frame is visible, though. Fish and corals inhabit the wreck.

A portion of the Japanese shipwreck off the cost of Malapascua

For the 360-degree island hopping tours, you may contact James or Jonas at +63 935 978 5636. Tour fee start at ₱350/head for a minimum of three in a group.

Kuya Jun, my boatman that time, asked ₱500 for the island tour. Unfortunately, he doesn’t have any number to share. You may look for him when you arrive in the island.

You can try cliff jumping if you have the guts. I’ve seen only locals doing the daredevil jump, mostly kids. My boatman discouraged me to because it was low tide and my weight could get me injuries. And so, I listened.

Cliff diving, would you dare?

Sunset Watching

Anticipate a stunning sunset everyday. Standby at Bounty beach and witness how the sun beautifully disappears the horizon, changing the tint of the sky.

Always keep your ears wide open when you happen to sat down with locals. They tell interesting stories and some even have odd insights. Join them when they go fishing, asked questions, and make acquaintance for you to fully understand the island life.

Kalanggaman Island Day Tour

Kalanggaman Island is part of the things you can do in Malapascua, but you can join a day tour to the island off the coast of Palompon, Leyte. Travel time for one way is approximately 3 hours.

What is a Camino?

Why do people undertake this journey?

People complete this pilgrimage for all kinds of personal reasons.

Where to start your pilgrimage

There are several paths to choose to begin your pilgrimage.

How long does it take to walk the Camino?

Consider your physical capabilities when choosing the length of your trip.

When to go

The pilgrimage season starts around April and ends late October with the busiest times being July, August and September.

Choose milder conditions for your journey, so that you don’t get yourself into trouble.

How to get there

For any of the other routes, you can access them by train and bus from Madrid and Barcelona.

Credential or the Pilgrims Passport

This is what the credential looks like with all the stamps at the end of your journey.

Way-markers

Here’s an example of what a trail marker looks like on the Camino paths.

Accommodation

What would you expect to find in an Albergue?

Here’s an example of what you can expect an Albergue to look like.

Do I need to book ahead for an Albergue?

What to take

Stopping to take a photo with the famous pilgrim statue.

The basic packing list for the Camino

Boots or shoes you plan to walk in

A backpack – size depends on your personal needs. I recommend Hiking poles

Spare lightweight shoes for the evening

2 quick drying hiking shirts

2 sets of socks. Also, wear liners as they are good to wear under your thicker socks. This can help prevent blisters and easier to wash more regularly as they dry quicker.

3 pairs of underwear. I don’t recommend cotton as once it gets wet it will take longer to dry. You also want a fabric that will help wick away sweat, keeping you comfortable.

Jacket for warmth

Poncho or rain jacket. Rain pants are a personal choice.

Buff

Lightweight sleeping bag

Water bottle or hydration pack

Something to sleep in, especially when in shared accommodation.

Credential

First aid kit – especially for blister care. For more on blister prevention, check out this guide here.

Toiletries

Earplugs – you will need them if staying in Albergues.

You’ll need to carry most of your gear, so go for lightweight options.

Extra gear if going to camp along the way

Tent

Cooker

Food utensils

Head torch

Sleeping mat and pillow

Extra gear if going in the cooler months

Thermal top and pants (optional)

Gloves to keep the hands warm

Beanie to keep your head warm

Warmer sleeping bag

Choose a pack between 35-50L, depending on your frame and how much you can carry.

Maps and guidebooks

Pack service

If you want the experience of walking the Camino but not carrying a pack, there are many companies that offer this daily service for as little as €7.

You have the option for a pack carrying service if that’s your preference.

Do I need to speak Spanish?

I’d recommend learning some of the basics though, such as:

Hola – Hello

Buenos días – Good morning

Buenas Noches – Good evening

Adiós – Goodbye

Por favour – Please

Gracias – Thank you

Da nada – You’re welcome

Perdone – Sorry/excuse me

Donde está….? – Where is….?

Cuanto cuesta….? – How much is….?

Quisiera – I’d like to…

It’s always nice to learn a few phrases to make it easier to talk to the locals.

Arriving in Santiago de Compostela

Pilgrims present their credential to the pilgrim’s office where they can collect their final stamp and receive their Compostela (a certificate of completion).

The culmination of the Camino de Santiago route – the Santiago de Compostela.

My Thoughts

Would you consider walking a pilgrimage?

how to train a puppy to walk with a leash | how to crate train my puppy

Yes. (Continue.) The biggest game-changer is keeping a puppy on a leash until they potty before letting them off to roam free in the yard or in the house (or even before taking them for a walk). $29.99 It’s normal for a young puppy to be a little ‘input-output’ machine. Since puppies are growing and developing rapidly, they eat food often, burn up lots of energy and seem to need to eliminate constantly! They also have not yet developed bowel and bladder control, so they can’t ‘hold it’. Socialization Crate Training Socialising your puppy TRY IT TRY IT Leave It Command Manhattan, NYC Great hub! I think I could learn a lot from you! I have a pug that says so!!!! Diabetes Loose Leash Walking Workshop Classical conditioning (or Pavlovian conditioning) is a form of learning in which one stimulus, the conditioned stimulus, comes to signal the occurrence of a second stimulus, the unconditioned stimulus.[43] Classical conditioning is when a dog learns to associate things in its environment, or discovers some things just go together. A dog may become afraid of rain through an association with thunder and lightning, or it may respond to the owner putting on a particular pair of shoes by fetching its leash.[44] Classical conditioning is used in dog training to help a dog make specific associations with a particular stimulus, particularly in overcoming fear of people and situations.[45] Answered Mar 29 2016 · Author has 445 answers and 1.2m answer views Open Dog bite prevention code for your first purchase: The Alliance of Therapy Dogs (ATD) has a unique testing process that involves handling your dog.

fbq('track', 'ViewContent', content_ids: 'dogtraining.dknol', ); What we can help with Walks and potty breaks are two different things, at least in the initial stages of house breaking. Potty breaks are trips to the yard specifically for the purpose of elimination. Walks are walks. A walk can be used as a reward for appropriate elimination, but never end a walk following appropriate elimination behavior. There are two huge benefits to maintaining a laser focus on your dog when he is not confined. First, you can start to recognize and reward your dog’s “gotta go” signals. When your dog begins to pace, circle, and sniff, you can applaud his signaling (“Awesome doggie! Let’s go, go, GO!”) and rush him to his potty place. Rewarding “gotta go” signals will encourage your dog to become more demonstrative when he feels the urge – communication that is as helpful to us as it is to our dogs.

Most dogs only follow one step of causality, that means what “happened right before this moment.” If you come home and scream or get upset at your puppy for having an accident inside, all your puppy knows is that you came home and were mad at him or her. Research shows that dogs do not feel guilty. This study investigated 14 dogs. The dogs had the option to disobey their owners and eat the treat or not. The owners did not know if the dog ate the treat or if the scientist took the treat away. Even if the dog did not misbehave, he still “acted” guilty when the owner was upset. The research showed that the so-called guilty look was a response to cues from the owner rather than the appreciation of a misdeed. Preventing your dog from pottying in the wrong place is the first and most important housetraining task. Since most of us cannot keep our eyes on our dogs every minute, having a safe, comfortable confinement area is key to housetraining success. Most dogs naturally avoid going potty in their sleeping areas, so confining your dog in a small enough area that is more bed-like than room-like not only prevents unwanted accidents but also will help him develop bowel and bladder control.

Tie Outs Features July 2018 Issue Don’t punish your dog if they pee inside. Regardless of all those old training ideas punishment isn’t a good deterrent for house training. Yelling at your dog after the fact just confuses them and makes them nervous around you. If you catch your did in the act you can try to get their attention & move them outdoors. If you’re successful & they continue going once you get outside praise them like crazy. As your puppy becomes more reliable about using his toilet area and his bowel and bladder control develops, he can begin to spend more time outside his room or pen with you in the rest of your home. Begin by giving him access to one room at a time. Let him eat, sleep and play in this room but only when he can be supervised. When you cannot supervise him, put him back in his room or pen.

The use of belly bands, doggie panties, and potty pads in sleeping areas may help lessen the burdens of clean-up. SAFETY NOTE: Be sure to have your dog on a leash at all times when you take him off your property, unless he’s reliably trained to respond to off-leash commands.

TIP! Use websites like Orbitz and Expedia for great prices. If you are a part of a loyalty program, make note of that.

Do you get a migraine thinking about making your next hotel reservation? Do you know how to find the perfect hotel at an affordable price? You don’t need to worry any longer. This article is filled with information to help you find the perfect hotel and enjoy your stay.

TIP! Room service can make your stay more enjoyable. Although you’ll probably pay more, it is worth being able to comfortably dine in the room while in pajamas.

Before you choose a hotel and make reservations, check online review sites, such as TripAdvisor. This lets you know what others’ experiences have been like. What people say about a hotel can help you figure out where you should be staying.

TIP! Look for a closet safe in your hotel room, and use it for any expensive electronics you may have brought with you. You can use it to store your tablet and other expensive items to keep them secure.

Take a look into organizations you are part of. You may be able to receive discounts on hotel through these organizations. These discounts are often neglected; however, they can save you upwards of ten percent. That can add up to huge savings over multiple nights. For a week of vacation time that adds up to an extra day!

TIP! Do not make the assumption that your pets are welcome at all hotels. Call them ahead of time to see if they are even if the website they’re on says yes.

Search online tools for hotels. There are a lot of websites that have great deals and other useful tools to help you comparison shop to find the right hotel at the right price. Being able to comparison shop helps you find the best value, while getting the amenities that are important to you. Finally, they can also help you figure out when you want to go on your vacation and what you want to do there.

TIP! There are some things you have to do before taking your pet on a trip. Take time to ensure that the hotel you’re booking is, in fact, pet-friendly.

Always see if you can find deals online when you’re thinking of getting a hotel room. You might not learn from the person on the phone that you can actually get great discounts over the Internet, instead. You will have to learn how to find these great discounts yourself. Review the different websites, such as Jetsetter or SniqueAway.

TIP! If you’re interested in the massage services of a hotel you intend to stay at, reserve your appointment ahead of time. Resorts that have masseurs often have very fully booked massage schedules, so it is important to plan ahead.

Inspect the room before unpacking. Is it free of mildew and mold while being clean? Is everything in the bathroom working as it should? Have the staff provided all the necessary soap, shampoo, towels, etc. that you will be needing? If you notice any deficiencies in your room, immediately call the front desk so you can resolve these issues, or if the problems are too severe, move you to another room.

TIP! If you have a AAA membership, look into hotel discounts included. It might be surprising to learn that some auto club memberships include hotel discounts.

You can get better deals on hotel rooms if you book several weeks or months ahead. If you can book early, you may get a huge discount. This will allow you to save up to 50 percent even when staying at an elite hotel.

TIP! If you are a daily runner, make sure you pack exercise clothes and a GPS watch. Get up early and dress for a jog in the early morning.

If you want to take your pet along on a trip, take care of three tasks before you leave. Be sure that this hotel will be friendly to pets. Make sure you have some plastic bags to get rid of pet messes. Also, request a room away from other guests so that your pet does not bother them.

TIP! Environmentalists can now enjoy a green vacation. There are plenty of “green” hotels that take the environment into consideration.

Frequent travelers can benefit from loyalty programs offered by many hotels. They give people benefits if they go to that chain often. The rewards can include free room upgrades, free meals and movie or show tickets tickets. The points can add up.

TIP! Become a AAA member if you want to make arranging hotel accommodations a bit simpler. Members of AAA will get additional hotel discounts up to five percent, but you’ll also get discounts on rental cars as well.

Remember that hotel chains often provide loyalty programs offering excellent discounts. Like the programs for frequent flyer, these programs the hotel offer give you points whenever you stay with them. Over time, these points can really add up, allowing you to enjoy numerous upgrades, spa visits, restaurant discounts, and even free nights at the hotel.

TIP! Call ahead to your hotels to make certain the swimming pools are ready for your kids. There aren’t many things that are as frustrating as going to your hotel with kids that really want to swim only to see that it has been closed.

The cost of your hotel will vary depending on when you make your reservation. The prices are based partly on availability. Try to always book your hotel room only a day in advance. You can often get the best price if you do it this way. Hotels don’t like to have vacancies so they often provide better prices.

TIP! Check in the bathroom first for bed bugs. This room is usually free from bugs.

Having read this whole article, now you know how to choose the best hotel for your upcoming trip. Make sure you research and then evaluate what you find out. After reviewing the provided information, you should be able to find the best hotel.

Airbnb Coupon Code 2020 – Up To $55 Airbnb Discount

Airbnb Coupon 2020

You must log-out of any Airbnb account on your device before clicking the button below. You will have to create a new Airbnb account with a new email to get this $55 Airbnb Coupon.

Airbnb Coupon Code: Get up to $55 USD discount off your next booking on Airbnb!

GET $55 AIRBNB COUPON NOW

Or read on to find out how to get a $55 Airbnb Coupon

Airbnb coupon codes are available for anyone who refers a friend. It’s a program that the platform is currently running to try to inspire people to use their service for the first time. This is an airbnb coupon code USA and worldwide, so it will work wherever you’re accessing it from.

** Update July 2020: The Air BnB coupon is currently worth $55. $40 towards an accommodation rental and $15 for an Airbnb Experience.

Every Airbnb promotion code is for $55 USD (or the equivalent in your account’s currency) and you can use the Airbnb coupon even if you already have an Airbnb account. To get the full $55 Airbnb coupon, you can book accommodation and an experience.

If you’ve read elsewhere that someone is offering an Airbnb discount code that’s higher than $55 USD, then their information is out of date.

As of 2020, every promo code Airbnb coupon will only offer $55 off your first booking of $80 or more. Some of our favourite Airbnb’s we’ve stayed in have been around $20 / night, so that $40 discount is like two nights free, plus you can get $15 off your first experience / tour with Airbnb promo codes.

One of the perks of staying in Airbnbs is that sometimes you’ll befriend the host

Get $55 Airbnb Coupon Now

Getting the $55 Airbnb discount is pretty simple actually. All you have to do is click the button above, start a new account and you’ll get a $55 coupon code for free.

In this article, I’m not only going to tell you about the $55 coupon Airbnb is offering. I’m also going to tell you about some of our best Airbnb experiences, other ways you can save money when booking apartments and how to ensure that the place you booked will not disappoint you.

Using The Airbnb Coupon

Once you’ve clicked the Airbnb coupon code button above and you set up a new Airbnb account with an email that’s not been used to create another account, the $55 USD Airbnb coupon will automatically be added to your account.

This is how the coupons USED TO appear.

Update July, 2020: The coupon no longer shows up in the top of your screen when you look on the website or on the app. Now you have to start the booking process to see it.

After getting the coupon via email, go on the Airbnb app or website, enter your dates and pick a Stay or Experience. Then, from the listing click “Reserve”. Don’t worry, you won’t be charged yet. In the next screen you will see your coupon subtracted from the total cost as “Credits”.

If you’re on mobile, then after you create a new account and get your Airbnb coupon, you’ll see it appear by where it lists the nightly rate, but you’ll only see it when you’re looking at a specific property. If you don’t see it at the top, click on the menu (your profile image) and then click the “Invite Your Friends” link.

If you still don’t see your Airbnb promo code after clicking the discount link, please contact Airbnb as there is likely an issue with your device or perhaps you already have an Airbnb account, in which case the Airbnb promo code won’t work.

Other Ways For Airbnb Discounts

While the Airbnb coupon is a great way to instantly save $40 USD on your next booking and $15 off an experience, there are other ways to save money on the platform. The people who run Airbnb have a bunch of relatively hidden features that you may not know about, but can save you a lot of money when booking an apartment online.

Book a Longer Stay

Long-stay rebates are automatically added to Airbnb rentals and the owners of the properties are able to customize the amount of the Airbnb discount. If you book a place for 1 week, there’s often a discount of up to 20% off the nightly rate, while if you book for 1 month or more, you’ll get a monthly discount that often surpasses 35%.

We had a one month stay in Mexico one time and we saved 40%.

A comfortable Airbnb we stayed at in Chile

Ask The Owner For An Airbnb Discount

This is a little known feature that very few users know about. The platform actually allows hosts to add a special Airbnb discount for anyone who books their property. All you have to do is ask. When looking at a property on the website, You’ll see a button that says “Contact Host”. You can simply message the host and ask them to offer you an Airbnb discount.

Perhaps you’re staying for 4 nights and the weekly discount doesn’t appear, or the place is just a little bit out of your budget. Oftentimes the host would rather have you stay for a little bit less, rather than losing your business altogether. Send them a message and ask for an Airbnb discount! We’ve saved an additional 10% doing this.

Contact The Host And Ask For An Airbnb Discount

Cook For Yourself

One of the best parts about booking on Airbnb instead of a hotel, is that you get your own kitchen while you travel the world. Take advantage of this and save money by cooking for yourself. Even if you just eat breakfast and drink coffee at the apartment and then eat lunch and dinner out, this can save you money on your overall stay.

Become a Host Yourself & Earn Money

Okay, so you’re not actually earning any Airbnb coupon for becoming a host, but you can earn quite a bit of money by renting out your place. If you travel a lot, why not put your place up on Airbnb and earn some extra income?

Becoming a host is easy, simply click here and you can quickly go through the sign-up process.

Airbnb will walk you through the steps of listing your property like picking a “home type”, “room type”, “occupancy” and the city your property is listed in. Once you’re done, you’ll be able to earn an income from Airbnb. They’ll even show you a calculator to guess how much you can list your room / property for and how much you can expect to earn per night, per week, and per month.

Refer an Airbnb Host And Receive $100

This is another great way to get an Airbnb coupon and is one of our best travel tips. If you have some friends who own a property but aren’t on Airbnb yet, you can have them list their place on Airbnb and start earning money from it. If they use your referral link, you’ll get a $100 cash (better than an Airbnb Coupon) after their first guest checks out.

In total you can earn up to $2,500 from referring hosts and $5,000 from referring your friends to Airbnb. That’s $7,500 cash instead of Airbnb Coupons!

Want To Give Your Friends a $40 Airbnb Coupon? Share this post!

Pool villa in Koh Samui, Thailand. Booked on Airbnb

Share & Get An Airbnb Coupon

Now that you’ve received your Airbnb coupon code and you saved $40 USD from your first booking on the account, it’s time to get your own Airbnb discount codes. All you have to do is share Airbnb with your friends.

Just like I’m sharing with you, you can also email or message your friends and tell them to use your link to sign-up for a new Airbnb account and get an Airbnb coupon.

When someone signs up using your code, they’ll get $40 and you’ll get a credit as well. How cool is that? It’s kind of like a pay it forward type scenario.

To give your friends an Airbnb coupon and to get an Airbnb coupon yourself, you simply have to login to your account, hover over your profile picture in the top right of the screen and click “Refer a Friend” and then share that link with your friends.

While using our coupon code will give you $25 USD instantly, if you’re sharing your own link, you’ll have to wait until your friend actually books a trip before you’ll get your travel credit.

Once you have received the credit, you’ll see it appear in the top right of the screen and it will automatically be taken off of any bookings you make on Airbnb. So far we’ve made a few hundred dollars in Airbnb travel credits and it’s helped us to pay for our apartments on many different trips. It’s a win-win for everybody.

How To Pick The Perfect Airbnb

Now that you’ve received your $25 – $55 Airbnb coupon, you can start browsing the platform for the perfect Airbnb property for you.

When it comes to booking the right place, there are a few things that you want to keep in mind. While the platform is generally very good and there are many great places available, there are some Airbnb scams to beware of and there are also some horror stories. By following these simple rules, you’ll definitely avoid these issues.

Rule #1 – Always Book on The Platform

While contacting the hosts (as noted earlier in this post) to ask for an Airbnb discount, you may be tempted to try to ask them to book off the platform in order to save on the hefty Airbnb fees. While this can save you money, you have to be EXTREMELY careful when doing so.

The Airbnb platform is very secure and they offer their users insurance and buyer’s protection, but if you’re booking outside of the platform, you will not be protected.

We once contacted a host off of the platform and he sent us a link via email to book the place. The link even looked exactly like the Airbnb website, but it turned out it wasn’t and it was a complete scam. Luckily we noticed it and didn’t book the apartment, which would’ve cost us over $3,000!

If you use our Airbnb coupon code and you book directly on the platform, you won’t have an issue. Read more about this Airbnb scam here.

The Airbnb we stayed at in Brighton, England was close to the “Lanes” – a very fun spot

Rule #2 – Always Read Reviews

On the Airbnb platform, the reviews are the most important thing to look at. We often search for apartments with the “Superhost” filter on to make sure that any properties we’re seeing are from very well-reviewed hosts. A superhost is a person who have a 4.8+ star overall rating, have a 90%+ response rate, zero cancellations and at least 10 stays per year.

Basically, Superhosts are the best of the best on Airbnb. If you’re booking with a Superhost – particularly one with 100 reviews or more – you’re pretty much guaranteed to have a great stay.

It’s worth noting that while we do recommend contacting hosts to ask for an Airbnb discount, you may find that they’re so busy they don’t feel they need to give you one. Still, if you use our Airbnb coupon, you’ll get your $40 off which will help.

Of course, you don’t only have to book with Superhosts. You can also simply check for hosts who have at least 4+ star reviews. Oftentimes, the property is amazing but they had one really picky guest stay there who gave them a 1-star review, which would mean they lost their Superhost status.

It’s sad, but it’s true. Even if you’re not booking strictly with Superhosts, you should always try to stay in places that have 4+ stars overall on their account. Also, always check for the most recent reviews. If a property has 5 stars overall, but hasn’t had a review in over a year, then the place may not have been maintained. It’s best to rely on recent reviews.

Rule #3 – Location, Location, Location

Some places on Airbnb have great reviews and look amazing in the photos, but it turns out they are way out of town. Make sure you check the map on the listing to get an idea of where the apartment is located.

Some people really want to be away from it all, so they still give a 5-star review even though the place is 45 minutes outside of town. Whenever you’re about to book, make sure you check on the map and also look through the reviews to see if anyone mentions anything about the location.

Places To Spend Your Airbnb Coupon

For a little bit more inspiration on where to spend your Airbnb coupon, I’ll show you a few of our favourite places on Airbnb. Some of them we’ve already stayed at, and some of them are on our Airbnb wish-list. We’ve been using this platform for over 3 years and we love it.

We’ve stayed in some awesome places during that time and apart from one so-so experience, we’ve been really pleased with our stays.

Airbnb’s We’ve Stayed In & Recommend

While I won’t be listing every single Airbnb we’ve ever stayed in, I’ll list a few of our favourites below. If you want to spend that Airbnb coupon, you can do so on one of these amazing properties.

Comfortable Flat With Terrace in Puerto Vallarta: We spent 10 days enjoying all of the fun things to do in Puerto Vallarta. This apartment was in a cool local neighbourhood with taco stands nearby! The place was clean and well stocked, but the best part was the private rooftop terrace with BBQ – a great place to have some dinner and drinks before heading out for the night.

Enjoying coffee in the morning on our private rooftop terrace

Ginger Villa Koh Samui: It was always a dream of ours when we became travel bloggers and started getting paid to write online, to one day stay in a luxury private pool villa. In July of 2017 we finally realized that dream for the first time at this beautiful 2 bedroom villa in Thailand just a few minutes from the beach.

Valparaiso View Apartment in Chile: Another one of our favourite apartments we’ve ever booked, and a great place to spend your Airbnb coupon if you’re planning to visit Valparaiso, Chile, is this beautiful place in Valparaiso. The apartment was clean and the owner was friendly, but best of all was the spectacular view over the harbour.

View From a Good Airbnb Booking We Had in Valparaiso, Chile

Beautiful Flat in Central Brighton: Last year we spent 2 weeks in the seaside city of Brighton at this lovely flat. The location was perfect – close to pubs, the Lanes, the train, shops and groceries. The apartment itself was very clean, well stocked and comfortable. The Superhost Michelle is very accommodating as well. Highly recommended.

We loved this Airbnb in Brighton – affordable, clean and in an excellent location

On Our Airbnb Wish-List

Seeing as we also have some Airbnb discounts to spend, we have a massive wish-list of some breathtaking properties that we want to stay in one day. There are so many unique accommodations on Airbnb – from sailboats and private islands, to treehouses and villas.

If you use our Airbnb coupon, it will also give us credit towards these amazing places, so we really appreciate your support.

Condos in Downtown Victoria: This Superhost has 4 stunning properties all in excellent locations in downtown Victoria. The condos are modern, stylishly decorated, absolutely spotless and are very affordable! Since our last trip to Victoria was so much fun, we definitely want to return and we’ll for sure be staying in one of these condos.

Superhost status!

Baby Sia Villa Koh Phangan: This little place is a great value at just $60 / night, and it just looks so cool. There are so many things to do in Koh Phangan and we’ve always wanted to return to the island for some R&R time and I think this budget villa would be the perfect place.

Luxury Villa Canggu, Bali: We spent 3 months living in Canggu Bali and we absolutely loved it. We had a fantastic villa there (that we didn’t get on Airbnb), but we were there during high season so pretty much everything was booked up. I still like the look of this pool villa and I think it would be a great place to spend your Airbnb coupon code.

Fiji Tree House: We’ve always wanted to stay in a treehouse, and we’ve also always wanted to visit Fiji, so this lovely Taveuni Treehouse is one place we definitely want to stay. At $170 per night, it’s a bit pricey and there’s no Airbnb discount for longer stays, but I think we’d splurge to be able to stay in a place like this.
