Reasons to Support Local

Supporting local keeps more money in the local economy. Locally owned business build a sense of stronger community by keeping up the ecstatic of a neighborhood, by linking neighbors economically and socially, and by contributing to local causes.

One of a Kind business often select products based, not on a national sales or trends, but on their own interests and the needs of their local customers, this provides more unique and specialized product choices.

Supporting the Environment. Buying local has less impact on the environment because items such as fruit and vegetables do not need to be shipped across the country to be purchases.  Therefore, produce is fresher and in season so you are getting a richer variety of food throughout the year.  In addition, local business often have nicer up keep and good use of their space unlike sprawling strip malls and huge outlet centers.

Above all you can have a sense of pride that you know where your products are coming from and who they are supporting. They are support you and your community! 

THERE IS SO MUCH WORLD OUT THERE

No one person knows the world like their back of their own hand. There are a lot of great travelers out there who have seen the the corners of the world. Why not before you take any travel trip get some great advice on what to see and what not to see. Lonely Planet puts on some great adventure and travel books that I found very helpful.

HAPPY TRAVELS!!!

ALWAYS HAVE CASH!!!!

I would when we are traveling in other countries we want to leave the country with as little as foreign currency as possible. This is not a good idea! First always bring and keep US dollars in a pinch you often use US dollars in other countries. Why I say this is important is that you might have an unexpected cost going to or at the airport and your debt card is not accepted in that country (or simply does not work). Scary!!
I know from experience! When I was traveling in Fuji my first overseas trip ever! (I will blame it on being young this time ) I am leaving the airport and fine out there is an airport tax to fly out of the airport. I cannot leave the airport if I do not pay this fee. I had 10 dollars of foreign money to my name. Not enough! My debt card does not work! Yikes! I am now going to be stuck in this small middle of now where country with no money and no ticket out of there! I do get lucky a trekker Irishmen does not want to see me fret over this small tax he pays the tax in full. Not asking for a thing in return! I beg for his address to send him the money, which he finally gave it to me.
Long story short keep cash, debt card and credit card with you! Never only one type of card because some places do not accept certain cards. Or better yet you cannot read the ATM screen to understand what the screen is asking.
Travel is getting easier. I suggest doing as much research you can before traveling.
HAPPY TRAVELS!!!!
