Workers' Hall Copenhagen: Workers' Assembly Halls

Árbær Open Air Museum

While this is part of the Turf House Tradition, it is more so dedicated to the history of Iceland as a whole and most of the history is focused on more recent events such World Wars. The site does contain a lot about the history of Iceland but not much about the turf houses.

Ilulissat Icefjord

I was able to fly and check out the Ilulissat Icefjord by walking around the area after landing a few hours earlier. I hiked the Red Trail starting from the Icefjord center. I did also go back to the Icefjord the next day as well. Such a beautiful site!

Workers' Hall Copenhagen

I visited the Workers' Hall in Copenhagen, and checked out the museum. They have many cool exhibits and I started on the ground floor where they discuss women in the workforce. After that I continued working upstairs and was able to explore the museum and see all that it had to offer.

Danish Royal Palace Museum

I was able to visit the royal palace early in the morning. The museum that I visited was really interesting as I did not know much about the history of the Danish Royal family. The jewelry was also spectacular! Afterwards I was able to walk around the site as well!

Bethlehem, Pennsylvania

I was able to drive up and check out the Bethlehem component of this UNESCO site in Pennsylvania. I was able to walk around the area, visiting some of the buildings such as the blacksmith shop as well as get a tour of the church.

Independence National Historic Park

Independence Hall does somewhat feel out of place in the modern Philadelphia city, however has a unique charm to it. We were able to tour the building along with many other parts of the historical park. We were able to snuck in by a friendly park ranger despite not having a tour.

Denali National Park

Visiting Denali in the night during winter was a magical experience. No other spot has had as much stars in the sky and it truly was a magical experience. We were able to drive into the site, and star gaze for hours.

Quebec City

This is my 2nd trip to Quebec City. We walked around the city admiring the beautiful buildings before we stopped to do the toboggin near the Citadel. After that we did some shopping down Petite Champlain before grabbing some drinks at a nearby restaurant.

Oaxaca

Staying with my girlfriends family, who live in the official UNESCO boundaries of the site was amazing. Possibly my favorite city I have been too, amazing food, colorful buildings, art, drinks, friendly people it really had everything going for it!

Monte Alban

This ancient city overlooking the city of Oaxaca is so impressive. The sheer size of it alone is mind blowing. The artifacts, art and everything else was so impressive and the mysterious end of the city also adds to the interest in the site!

Tree of Tule

The tree de Tule is the worlds thickest tree. The site is next to a beautiful church and is a more dry rural area which is a bit of a strange place to find such a huge tree. The area is super welcoming and just a cool stop to see in Mexico!

Yalgul

The name of this site implies Milta is part of it, which is not the case however the site of Yagul is part of it. The ruins are much smaller, but a lot less crowded meaning you can explore it more on your own pace and feel the scenery more. My girlfriends uncle explained how he used to explore the caves, however many of them are now closed off.

Mexico City center is on 2 UNESCO list. While we did not spend a huge amount of time in the official city center we did get the chance to explore the Palacio de Bellas Artes. Such an amazing city!

Chapultepec

This city park is huge and has some great food, and things to do! The national museum at the top of the hill does a great job of showing the history of modern day Mexico, while the snail museum nearby shows some of the modern battles but is a bit boring in my opinion.

San Juan National Historic Site

Castillo San Felipe del Morro, is a huge castle and fort located next to the great neighborhood of old San Juan. The site got hot even in February and was devoid of cover from the brutal sun. The area is beautiful and shares the history of the area and the dangers that Europeans faced when trying to hold onto these islands in the Caribbean

Central Park

Central Park is so huge there is so much to do in it. When we went, we did explore the Central Park Zoo, which I would not really recommend anyone do, as it felt very boring and small. However the park as a whole is a really nice area to walk around and explore.

Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum

Visiting this museum on my New York trip was a great experience. The museum can be a bit disorienting, and is a bit "abstract" in some of the art but I really loved it and had a great time.

Brooklyn Bridge

Waking across the Brooklyn Bridge is an underwhelming activity to, as the bridge is much bigger than I originally thought it was. It is a simply massive bridge and while pretty, not exactly fun to cross.

Ellis Island Museum

I checked out the museum on our way to see the Statue of Liberty. The museum is so vast and interesting going over the history of immigration into USA. We did really enjoy it, though I would love to go back to better explore all that it has to offer.

The most recent trip to the Statue of Liberty. I was able to walk around and explore the island, as well as we did check out the museum as well. After we finished, we took the ferry to Battery Park.

While I was only very briefly in the official national park, the surrounding area which is part of the complex, is amazingly beautiful and well worth the visit.

This national park in Iceland shows the history of the early government while also protecting the continental split which is also located in this area. The area is beautiful and easily accessible.

Diamond Beach

This is part of the National Park in Iceland and when we went in April was very few people were there despite beautiful weather. The black sand beaches and the pure white Icebergs really do contrast in such a unique and beautiful way. Additionally we did fly over the National Park in an airplane tour.

Mývatn

When I visited this site, we explored some caves and cracks in the crust in the area before stopping by a farm to spend the night and exploring Mývatn hot springs. We also were able to see the northern lights for the first time!

My first time visiting Quebec and I was blown away by how pretty it was during winter. We got to try maple taffy made from boiled syrup mixed with snow. I can't wait to return!

Giant's Causeway

Giant's Causeway is such an alien looking landscape. We drove up from Dublin to Ballycastle to check out the site as well as the Carick-a-ride rope bridge as well. Both sites were very cool. The causeway center has some exhibits showing off some of the geology and cultural significance of the site.

Visiting Dublin as the begging of my Ireland trip before visiting the Causeway and family. In the city we did mostly stick to the touristy areas around Temple Bar and Trinity College however we did venture out at points to explore other areas as well.

This was my first trip to the museum with my high school for a field trip my senior year. We went to the museum and were able to read all about immigration to USA. We did not complete the Statue of Liberty but we explored all around the site.

Yellowstone

Visiting Yellowstone to see a total solar eclipse was one of the coolest experiences, though technically outside of the official park limits for the eclipse the park as a whole is so vast, yet unfortunately busy as well. I would love to go back and do some of the less explored areas away from all the people to get a better sense of the actual landscape and nature that it is so famous for!
