From the Royal Albert Hall to Russia and Back Again
Sometime during February of the year 2005, I was on tour somewhere in Australia with my then-band twentysevens, when I heard that Cream was reforming to play four shows at the Royal Albert Hall in London in early May.

Living and Working in Another County Can be Beneficial in Many Ways
Besides the dread and confusion of work visas and language barriers, working in another country can be an incredible experience. Not only is experiencing other cultures a humbling and exciting experience, it’s also known to enhance learning and adaptability. Studies show that learning about other cultures is a critical component of the adaptation process, and it adds value to creativity. By working in another country, you’re not only experiencing the lifestyle of others—you’re also opening yourself up to a world of opportunities.

The Beautiful Side of Religious Tourism
No doubt, tourism brings significant economic benefits for local communities and residents. It preserves and protects the natural environment and ensures compliance with customs, traditions and cultural heritage. In addition to these benefits for tourism development, the main foredeal of tourism is the national income generated. Tourism in general has become very global because religious tourism has also integrated into this sector.

Vidaaadi!
Hi guys (hand wave emoji) :). Thanks for reading my first Vocal Media post. I really appreciate it! :) Vidaadi was an old article I had written way back in 2016, during my trip to Azerbaijan. I wanted to start with this one, as it is the article that impacted me the most, and made me want to write more. It had a great reaction on an Azerbaijani blog website. The article below hasn't been edited since 2016, so bear with me with the grammar and spelling mistakes. I promise—I got better. ;)

5 Tips for Traveling in Italy
Adapt to their fantastic coffee culture. When in Rome do as the Romans do. This means not asking for a caramel macchiato or frappuccino. The closest you'll get to a traditional cold drink is coffee shaken over ice (which is then sometimes strained out). 9/10 times if you ask for a latte, you're just going to get a cup of steamed milk.

The Stylish Traditional Art of Ngmayem Festival, Ghana
So I arrived at the grounds with so many expectations. I had followed and watched highlights of the Ngmayem festival on television. I was so anxious to be a part of it. Of course, I expected a huge crowd, but thankfully, the crowd control barrier was there to calm things down. A melodious sound interspersed with songspiel welcomed me to the grounds of the Ngmayem festival.

Tips and Tricks to Stay Healthy While Eating Abroad
Going to a different country is a dream that most people have, but only some people actually accomplish. Whether you want to go to Paris, the city of lights, or India there will be some drastic differences between the city you visit, and what you are used to. There are going to be differences such as hygiene practices, food eaten, and even how driving is set up.

Finland Tops All!
A person with all ambitions will never want to live in a state of frustration, pressure, and difficulties. Everyone hopes for a very comfortable life without obstacles. Many people travel to other countries not because of their name, but what that country offers. This may be the general satisfaction of citizens, per capita GDP, security, beauty of the region, hospitality and, above all, the general management of its officials. All these reasons are limited to tourism. I've had many people tell me how safe and happy they are in their country. Apparently, they will not go to another country for, say, citizenship purposes.
