Gone are the days where the only form of documenting your adventures was by writing in a physical journal with a pen or pencil. Sure, that method is still as effective as it ever was, but in 2021, there are so many other ways to share your journey with the world. Here are three ways to document your travels in this day and age.

Instagram

Nowadays, perhaps the most popular form of traveling blogging is through Instagram. If you travel a lot, you can post as many pictures as you want of your travels by virtue of this platform, and you’re just as welcome to write lengthy posts about your adventures in concordance with the pictures you’ve posted. Oh yeah, and it goes without saying that you can post stories and live videos at your disclosure.

Personal Blogs

You’re more than welcome to start your own blog on your very own website. It’s not as mainstream as Instagram is, but if you manage to get hold of some real followers and fans, they’ll constantly be waiting for your next post. From a practical point of view, it’s probably the greatest platform for writing long texts about your adventures.

YouTube

YouTube has come so far beyond “Charlie Bit My Finger”, lending itself to countless influencers to be themselves in so many ways—including sharing their escapades with their fans. If you’re specifically interested in sharing videos of your travels with your followers, you may want to consider starting a YouTube account.

Misha Gillingham’s motto is fairly straightforward: “If you love life, it will love you right back.” It this lust for life that first caught our attention. Considered one of the top luxury travel bloggers, Gillingham hopes to inspire others to escape the city and explore the great outdoors.

Popular Travel Blog

Her travel blog and accompanying Instagram page, Wildluxe, is the sweet, sweet meeting point between luxury travel and the great outdoors. Sprinkle Gillingham’s sense of optimism on top and you’ll understand the appeal. Showcasing guest ranches, farm stays, lodges, safaris, and wild adventures, it offers inspiration, reviews, and information on the world’s top luxury wilderness travel experiences. Exactly the kind of inspiration we need in the days after Covid.

“I really do love every aspect of the job,” shared Gillingham in an interview with We Are Travel Girls. “The hardest part for me is lugging around all of the heavy gear all of the time. It’s a total pain. (Literally, my neck is always hurting). But worth it.”

From Pain to Passion

A cancer survivor, Gillingham understands the importance of living in the here and now. In fact, her illness is what pushed her to further explore her passions. “It made me realize how fragile and precious life really is,” she says. “It has given me a huge zest for life. Every day we are here and have the chance to live and love is a beautiful miracle!”

Where She Goes

Rather than traveling to the same big cities, seeing overrun tourist destinations, and waiting in long crowded lines, Gillingham seeks out the unique, less traveled, more intimate places around the globe. The places she chooses to feature on her blog are hand-selected and surrounded by exquisite natural landscapes which offer guests a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

But her life as a travel guru isn’t all fun and games. “I think many people have misconceptions of what it takes,” she notes. “They think its all fun and travel. It’s actually a TON of work. It’s not a 9-5 it’s a 24/7. You have to be able to turbo multitask and wear many hats.”

Besides the well-known cities we all love to visit, Europe is also full of hidden gems that are just waiting to be discovered. One of them is Bucharest, the capital of Romania, and if you’re not sure where to start exploring it, check out these spots that are perfect for taking Instagram photos.

Romanian Athenaeum

The concert hall building dates back to the 19th century and it’s impressive inside and out. It’s one of the big symbols of Romanian culture. The main hall contains a huge circular colonnade and two sets of spiral stairs.

Pasaj Victoria

This is one of the many hidden passages in the city and if you stumble upon it, you will be rewarded with a view of colorful umbrellas. It’s a perfect place to take photos to remember your trip to Bucharest forever.

Carturesti Carusel

The gorgeous bookshop is not only an amazing place to browse for your next read but also one of the most beautiful things you can see in the city. The bright interior that spreads over three floors gives plenty of photo opportunities, and when you get tired, you can grab some coffee in a cafe on the top floor.

One of the best ways to document and share your trips is by uploading photographs to your Instagram account. This popular social network is a great place to share what you have documented for friends, family, and others to see.

Would you like to get a head start on ensuring that your travel pictures have reach and impact? Here are some tips that can help.

Learn to Use Effects

Instagram also serves as a photo editor, providing a number of effects and editing capabilities to make your pictures look even better. Learn to adjust the brightness, contrast, saturation, sharpness, just to name a few things, in order to make your pictures pop.

Geotag Your Snapshots

One of the best ways to ensure that others see and like your photos is by geotagging your snapshots. Don’t just upload a picture of the Taj Mahal, for example; upload it and geotag it at the Taj Mahal so that people browsing photos of the monument will see your picture.

Master Hashtags

Another great way to ensure that your pictures have reach is by employing hashtags. Look for hashtags related to the location in which you have taken your photo so that people, while checking out these popular hashtags, will discover your photo and profile.

____________________ Rideau Street Chapel ⛪ Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦 c. 1888 • Considered a beloved part of Canadian ecclestiastal history, the Rideau Street Chapel is certainly a place worth preserving. So much so, the Chapel is currently housed in a museum. Originally built in 1888, the Chapel would eventually be completely dismantled and then reassembled in its present location, the National Gallery of Canada • The Chapel was built as part of the Convent of Our Lady of the Sacred Heart, a bilingual school for girls. In 1887, the school sought to expand to meet enrollment demands and commissioned architect and priest Georges Bouillon to design an addition. Bouillon created a two-and-a-half storey wing which included the extravagant and elegant Gothic Revival Chapel on the second floor • The Convent thrived until the late 1960s when Ontario secularized their education system. Declining enrollment resulted in reduced education programs and by 1970, the Sisters decided to sell the Convent. They quickly found a buyer in Glenview Realty who planned to convert the structure into retail and office space • When Glenview shifted their focus with the intent to demolish the Convent to build a new high-rise, the historic preservation community sprang to its defense. The Heritage Committee and the National Capital Commission (NCC) lobbied to save the Chapel. Nevertheless, the city approved a demolition permit • The Historic Sites and Monument Board judged the Chapel to be of national significance, and heritage committees organized public demonstrations to enforce the recommendation. After weeks of failed negotiations, activist Mary-Anne Phillips lit a votive candle in front of the padlocked Chapel, creating a powerful media moment. Five days later an agreement was reached. To this day, the Chapel – including the 1,123 pieces of its original altar – remains in the National Gallery • Know more?

____________________ Ralph Bunche Elementary School Detroit, Michigan c. 1950 • During the 1940s, when much of the world found itself thrust into international conflict, renowned political scientist, academic, and U.N. diplomat Ralph Bunche left an indelible mark through the peaceful measures he enacted. So much so, that many academic institutions now bear his name, including Ralph Bunche Elementary School in Detroit, Michigan • Born in 1904 in Detroit, Bunche not only grew up to be a world-renowned diplomat but the first African American to receive the Nobel Peace Prize. Awarded the Prize in 1950, Bunche was recognized for his successful peace negotiations in the Middle East, Africa, and the Mediterranean; most notably, the Armistice Agreements between Israel and four Arab states • Along with his international peacekeeping efforts, Bunche was a passionate Civil Rights activist at home in America. His grandmother, Nana Johnson, had been born into slavery. Bunche participated in the 1963 March on Washington and the 1965 Selma-to-Montgomery walk alongside Martin Luther King, Jr. In 1963, President John F. Kennedy, awarded Bunche with the Presidential Medal of Freedom for his efforts • Bunche continued his illustrious career in the years to come working for the U.N. and taking on special assignments. In 1971, he passed away in New York City from a number of ailments. Over the course of his life, he received many accolades and over four dozen honorary doctorates. Yet, he was also remembered as a patient and optimistic man who was always willing to meet with both sides and use his meticulous and calm nature towards compromise • Now Bunche’s impressive legacy also includes many elementary schools in Detroit and throughout the U.S. that carry his name. In Detroit there is the Bunche Preparatory Academy and Bunche Elementary-Middle School, located on Macomb Street — the same street where Bunche grew up • Know more?

____________________ Provinciaal Hof Bruges, Belgium c. 1892 • The 19th-century Neo Gothic Provinciaal Hof building has a long history. While the first section was initially built in 1892, the building’s site located at the center of Bruges’ grand market has hosted meeting halls since the late 13th century • Ancient in origin, Bruges is the capital and largest city in West Flanders in the Flemish region of Belgium. The canal-based city is centered around the grand market, which is home to many of the city’s most famous buildings, including the Provinciaal Hof. In 1294, a massive commercial warehouse (Waterhalle) was built as the central point for the port of Bruges. Five centuries later, the Waterhalle was demolished when boats could no longer reach it • In the mid 19th Century, provincial government meetings were held at the site of the former Waterhalle, which had been replaced by a neoclassical-style building. In 1878, the building burned down and its replacement was intended to house the province and a post office. Designed by architects Louis Delacenserie and René Buyck, construction of the Neo Gothic successor began in 1887 • Four years later, construction on the first part of the Provinciaal Hof began, and by 1920, the building was finished. Inside, the building is outfitted with stained glass windows, iron work, and the central meeting room houses sculptures of royalty by Belgian sculptor Hendrik Pickery. Murals and paintings from the Romantic Era adorn its walls • The Provinciaal Hof was utilized as a government meeting hall until 1999. Belgium’s national government considered selling it, but the provincial government protested and won. Today, the Hof remains standing, its significant history intact, but these days it hosts more ceremonies & exhibitions than official government business • Know more?

Hey Adventurers 👋 @TheKuber is forever sharing incredible images of India & beyond 🇮🇳 and we could not be more honored to have him featured in our new Book 📚 (Pre-order link in our bio 🥰🎉) Hope you enjoy this amazing shot from the very talented @TheKuber ❤ – – – Rani Sati Temple • Rajasthan, India 🇮🇳 c. ~1600 • The Rani Sati Temple is named for a Rajasthani woman who is believed to have lived between the 13th & 17th centuries and is commemorated for her act of sati, the practice of a widow sacrificing herself atop her deceased husband's funeral pyre • The accounts of Rani Sati's life and the events leading to her death vary widely. One story dates back to the Mahabharata, one of the major Sanskrit epics of India. As the legend goes, Rani desired to be married to Abhimanyu and be sati in her next life. Granted by Lord Krishna, she was born as Narayani and Abhimanyu was born as Tandan and the two were married • Tandan owned a beautiful horse that was desired by the son of the King of Hissar. When Tandan refused to give up his horse, the King’s son challenged him to a duel. Tandan killed the son, and in turn, the King murders Tandan in front of Narayani. In retaliation, Narayani kills the King, then orders the horse’s caretaker, Ranaji, to set her ablaze during her husband’s cremation • As gratitude, Narayani took Ranaji’s name so that he’s worshipped alongside her. From then on, she is known as Rani Sati. While her exact lifetime is unknown, the Temple – which is the largest in India devoted to Rani Sati – is said to be around 400 years old and is known for not holding any paintings or statues of any gods. Rather a trishula, or trident, represents Rani Sati • What was initially a voluntary act considered quite courageous and heroic, later became a forced practice with a dark past. The practice was banned multiple times and deemed punishable by the courts. Although controversial, Rani Sati is beloved in India with many temples dedicated to her worship • Know more?

____________________ Banff National Park 🌲 Alberta, Canada 🇨🇦 c. 1885 • Banff National Park is Canada’s oldest national park. The first human activity here dates back more than 10,000 years and the surrounding land was home to numerous Indigenous Peoples with many areas of the park still known by their given names. The establishment of the land as a National Park came as a preservation effort by the Canadian Government to stop commercial development in the area. At the same time, the transcontinental railway had been completed, contributing both to the Park’s popularity and unfortunately a threat to its safety • Two years after the park’s establishment, John Connor assumed duty as the first forest ranger. A citizen of Banff, he was appointed by the Park’s superintendent and tasked with its preservation. Connor spent his days patrolling the Railway in a handcar and performing clerical duties, but when fires swept through the valley, John jumped into action recruiting & deploying fire suppression crews • Driven by an uptick of forest fires caused by the sparks of passing trains, the Park officially established its Warden service in 1909, and a new team was developed to serve as both fire and game wardens with chief warden Howard E. Sibbald at the helm • Having grown up on the Canadian frontie, Sibbald brought a special sense of wilderness know-how to the position. He significantly improved preservation practices by increasing fire protection, trail construction, and forest patrol services – even implementing a fire lookout & telephone service between warden cabins to facilitate quicker communication • To this day, Banff National Park’s warden service has maintained its guard, continuing to aid in the protection & preservation of the wondrous wilds of Canada’s first national park – still operating out of warden cabins like Redearth Creek Cabin No. 31 above • Know more?

____________________ Genova–Casella Railway 🚞 Genoa, Italy 🇮🇹 c. 1929 • Climbing from sea to summit and back, the Genova-Casella Railway connects the port city of Genoa with the mountain village of Casella in the Liguria region of Italy. Known by locals as the “trenino” or “little train”, the Railway is a narrow gauge rail system that operates nine trains per day carrying both local commuters and curious travelers • Before a train took to the inclines, horses ruled the roadways in Genoa. In the 1870s, a horse bus system was developed that connected Genoa to the nearby Sampierdarena area. This served as a precursor to the electric trams that would later be developed. In 1929, the Genoa-Casella Railway was officially inaugurated • During WW2, Genovesi citizens fleeing the city packed the Railway’s trains to find refuge in the remote areas of the Apennines Mountains. Because Genoa was such an influential port, the city was heavily bombed by both Allied air and naval forces throughout the course of the War. The damage was so extreme that over 11,000 buildings were destroyed. The port’s harbor suffered 935 shipwrecks • The Railway hasn’t forgotten its history either. On certain occasions the Railways oldest train, dating back to 1924, travels along the rails. Originally built for the Sangritana railway, this train also houses the oldest working electric engine in Italy with many of its original parts still in order • Navigating steep inclines overlooking the Ligurian Sea, the trains climb upwards 458 meters above sea level. Among these remote areas surrounding Genoa are broad valleys, ancient fortresses, villages, and the historic Aqueduct. To this day, the Genova-Casella Railway passes through these areas on its daily 25 km route • Know more?

____________________ Poplar Cottage • London, United Kingdom 🇬🇧 c. 1695 • The last of its kind in a modernized London borough, Poplar Cottage is a simple structure that harkens back to 17th century rural English life. Built around 1695, the Cottage is the last surviving example of a weatherboard cottage in Charlton Village • Located in the Royal Borough of Greenwich, Charlton Village was once a tiny rural village far from the city. It was first recorded in the 1086 Domesday Book as “Cerletone” which is derived from Old English meaning “farmstead of the freemen or peasants”. Throughout the centuries, the village has been home to both farmers and the financially wealthy • In 1612, Sir Adam Newton commissioned a new manor house in the village. Named Charlton House, this Jacobean mansion was designed by architect John Thorpe, a little-known Renaissance designer who pioneered introducing corridors within houses. Thorpe’s corridor allowed for independent access to individual rooms, which was a departure from the then-common arrangement of rooms leading to the next by connecting doors, a feature known as “enfilade” • Eighty years later, Poplar Cottage would be built in a design in far contrast to the magnificence of the noble estate. As a weatherboard house, the Cottage is made up of wooden siding in the form of horizontal boards that often overlap. This style is also known as “clapboard”, which later rose to prominence in Colonial America • Although many of Charlton Village’s original weatherboard cottages were torn down in the 20th century, Poplar Cottage has remained on Charlton Road since it was built. It was restored by the Blackheath Preservation Trust, and remains a reminder of simple English farm life amid the hustle and bustle of the UK’s most populated city • Know more?

Gone are the days where the only form of documenting your adventures was by writing in a physical journal with a pen or pencil. Sure, that method is still as effective as it ever was, but in 2021, there are so many other ways to share your journey with the world. Here are three ways to document your travels in this day and age.

Instagram

Nowadays, perhaps the most popular form of traveling blogging is through Instagram. If you travel a lot, you can post as many pictures as you want of your travels by virtue of this platform, and you’re just as welcome to write lengthy posts about your adventures in concordance with the pictures you’ve posted. Oh yeah, and it goes without saying that you can post stories and live videos at your disclosure.

Personal Blogs

You’re more than welcome to start your own blog on your very own website. It’s not as mainstream as Instagram is, but if you manage to get hold of some real followers and fans, they’ll constantly be waiting for your next post. From a practical point of view, it’s probably the greatest platform for writing long texts about your adventures.

YouTube

YouTube has come so far beyond “Charlie Bit My Finger”, lending itself to countless influencers to be themselves in so many ways—including sharing their escapades with their fans. If you’re specifically interested in sharing videos of your travels with your followers, you may want to consider starting a YouTube account.

Misha Gillingham’s motto is fairly straightforward: “If you love life, it will love you right back.” It this lust for life that first caught our attention. Considered one of the top luxury travel bloggers, Gillingham hopes to inspire others to escape the city and explore the great outdoors.

Popular Travel Blog

Her travel blog and accompanying Instagram page, Wildluxe, is the sweet, sweet meeting point between luxury travel and the great outdoors. Sprinkle Gillingham’s sense of optimism on top and you’ll understand the appeal. Showcasing guest ranches, farm stays, lodges, safaris, and wild adventures, it offers inspiration, reviews, and information on the world’s top luxury wilderness travel experiences. Exactly the kind of inspiration we need in the days after Covid.

“I really do love every aspect of the job,” shared Gillingham in an interview with We Are Travel Girls. “The hardest part for me is lugging around all of the heavy gear all of the time. It’s a total pain. (Literally, my neck is always hurting). But worth it.”

From Pain to Passion

A cancer survivor, Gillingham understands the importance of living in the here and now. In fact, her illness is what pushed her to further explore her passions. “It made me realize how fragile and precious life really is,” she says. “It has given me a huge zest for life. Every day we are here and have the chance to live and love is a beautiful miracle!”

Where She Goes

Rather than traveling to the same big cities, seeing overrun tourist destinations, and waiting in long crowded lines, Gillingham seeks out the unique, less traveled, more intimate places around the globe. The places she chooses to feature on her blog are hand-selected and surrounded by exquisite natural landscapes which offer guests a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

But her life as a travel guru isn’t all fun and games. “I think many people have misconceptions of what it takes,” she notes. “They think its all fun and travel. It’s actually a TON of work. It’s not a 9-5 it’s a 24/7. You have to be able to turbo multitask and wear many hats.”

One of the best ways to document and share your trips is by uploading photographs to your Instagram account. This popular social network is a great place to share what you have documented for friends, family, and others to see.

Would you like to get a head start on ensuring that your travel pictures have reach and impact? Here are some tips that can help.

Learn to Use Effects

Instagram also serves as a photo editor, providing a number of effects and editing capabilities to make your pictures look even better. Learn to adjust the brightness, contrast, saturation, sharpness, just to name a few things, in order to make your pictures pop.

Geotag Your Snapshots

One of the best ways to ensure that others see and like your photos is by geotagging your snapshots. Don’t just upload a picture of the Taj Mahal, for example; upload it and geotag it at the Taj Mahal so that people browsing photos of the monument will see your picture.

Master Hashtags

Another great way to ensure that your pictures have reach is by employing hashtags. Look for hashtags related to the location in which you have taken your photo so that people, while checking out these popular hashtags, will discover your photo and profile.

____________________ Rideau Street Chapel ⛪ Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦 c. 1888 • Considered a beloved part of Canadian ecclestiastal history, the Rideau Street Chapel is certainly a place worth preserving. So much so, the Chapel is currently housed in a museum. Originally built in 1888, the Chapel would eventually be completely dismantled and then reassembled in its present location, the National Gallery of Canada • The Chapel was built as part of the Convent of Our Lady of the Sacred Heart, a bilingual school for girls. In 1887, the school sought to expand to meet enrollment demands and commissioned architect and priest Georges Bouillon to design an addition. Bouillon created a two-and-a-half storey wing which included the extravagant and elegant Gothic Revival Chapel on the second floor • The Convent thrived until the late 1960s when Ontario secularized their education system. Declining enrollment resulted in reduced education programs and by 1970, the Sisters decided to sell the Convent. They quickly found a buyer in Glenview Realty who planned to convert the structure into retail and office space • When Glenview shifted their focus with the intent to demolish the Convent to build a new high-rise, the historic preservation community sprang to its defense. The Heritage Committee and the National Capital Commission (NCC) lobbied to save the Chapel. Nevertheless, the city approved a demolition permit • The Historic Sites and Monument Board judged the Chapel to be of national significance, and heritage committees organized public demonstrations to enforce the recommendation. After weeks of failed negotiations, activist Mary-Anne Phillips lit a votive candle in front of the padlocked Chapel, creating a powerful media moment. Five days later an agreement was reached. To this day, the Chapel – including the 1,123 pieces of its original altar – remains in the National Gallery • Know more?

____________________ Ralph Bunche Elementary School Detroit, Michigan c. 1950 • During the 1940s, when much of the world found itself thrust into international conflict, renowned political scientist, academic, and U.N. diplomat Ralph Bunche left an indelible mark through the peaceful measures he enacted. So much so, that many academic institutions now bear his name, including Ralph Bunche Elementary School in Detroit, Michigan • Born in 1904 in Detroit, Bunche not only grew up to be a world-renowned diplomat but the first African American to receive the Nobel Peace Prize. Awarded the Prize in 1950, Bunche was recognized for his successful peace negotiations in the Middle East, Africa, and the Mediterranean; most notably, the Armistice Agreements between Israel and four Arab states • Along with his international peacekeeping efforts, Bunche was a passionate Civil Rights activist at home in America. His grandmother, Nana Johnson, had been born into slavery. Bunche participated in the 1963 March on Washington and the 1965 Selma-to-Montgomery walk alongside Martin Luther King, Jr. In 1963, President John F. Kennedy, awarded Bunche with the Presidential Medal of Freedom for his efforts • Bunche continued his illustrious career in the years to come working for the U.N. and taking on special assignments. In 1971, he passed away in New York City from a number of ailments. Over the course of his life, he received many accolades and over four dozen honorary doctorates. Yet, he was also remembered as a patient and optimistic man who was always willing to meet with both sides and use his meticulous and calm nature towards compromise • Now Bunche’s impressive legacy also includes many elementary schools in Detroit and throughout the U.S. that carry his name. In Detroit there is the Bunche Preparatory Academy and Bunche Elementary-Middle School, located on Macomb Street — the same street where Bunche grew up • Know more?

____________________ Provinciaal Hof Bruges, Belgium c. 1892 • The 19th-century Neo Gothic Provinciaal Hof building has a long history. While the first section was initially built in 1892, the building’s site located at the center of Bruges’ grand market has hosted meeting halls since the late 13th century • Ancient in origin, Bruges is the capital and largest city in West Flanders in the Flemish region of Belgium. The canal-based city is centered around the grand market, which is home to many of the city’s most famous buildings, including the Provinciaal Hof. In 1294, a massive commercial warehouse (Waterhalle) was built as the central point for the port of Bruges. Five centuries later, the Waterhalle was demolished when boats could no longer reach it • In the mid 19th Century, provincial government meetings were held at the site of the former Waterhalle, which had been replaced by a neoclassical-style building. In 1878, the building burned down and its replacement was intended to house the province and a post office. Designed by architects Louis Delacenserie and René Buyck, construction of the Neo Gothic successor began in 1887 • Four years later, construction on the first part of the Provinciaal Hof began, and by 1920, the building was finished. Inside, the building is outfitted with stained glass windows, iron work, and the central meeting room houses sculptures of royalty by Belgian sculptor Hendrik Pickery. Murals and paintings from the Romantic Era adorn its walls • The Provinciaal Hof was utilized as a government meeting hall until 1999. Belgium’s national government considered selling it, but the provincial government protested and won. Today, the Hof remains standing, its significant history intact, but these days it hosts more ceremonies & exhibitions than official government business • Know more?

Hey Adventurers 👋 @TheKuber is forever sharing incredible images of India & beyond 🇮🇳 and we could not be more honored to have him featured in our new Book 📚 (Pre-order link in our bio 🥰🎉) Hope you enjoy this amazing shot from the very talented @TheKuber ❤ – – – Rani Sati Temple • Rajasthan, India 🇮🇳 c. ~1600 • The Rani Sati Temple is named for a Rajasthani woman who is believed to have lived between the 13th & 17th centuries and is commemorated for her act of sati, the practice of a widow sacrificing herself atop her deceased husband's funeral pyre • The accounts of Rani Sati's life and the events leading to her death vary widely. One story dates back to the Mahabharata, one of the major Sanskrit epics of India. As the legend goes, Rani desired to be married to Abhimanyu and be sati in her next life. Granted by Lord Krishna, she was born as Narayani and Abhimanyu was born as Tandan and the two were married • Tandan owned a beautiful horse that was desired by the son of the King of Hissar. When Tandan refused to give up his horse, the King’s son challenged him to a duel. Tandan killed the son, and in turn, the King murders Tandan in front of Narayani. In retaliation, Narayani kills the King, then orders the horse’s caretaker, Ranaji, to set her ablaze during her husband’s cremation • As gratitude, Narayani took Ranaji’s name so that he’s worshipped alongside her. From then on, she is known as Rani Sati. While her exact lifetime is unknown, the Temple – which is the largest in India devoted to Rani Sati – is said to be around 400 years old and is known for not holding any paintings or statues of any gods. Rather a trishula, or trident, represents Rani Sati • What was initially a voluntary act considered quite courageous and heroic, later became a forced practice with a dark past. The practice was banned multiple times and deemed punishable by the courts. Although controversial, Rani Sati is beloved in India with many temples dedicated to her worship • Know more?

____________________ Banff National Park 🌲 Alberta, Canada 🇨🇦 c. 1885 • Banff National Park is Canada’s oldest national park. The first human activity here dates back more than 10,000 years and the surrounding land was home to numerous Indigenous Peoples with many areas of the park still known by their given names. The establishment of the land as a National Park came as a preservation effort by the Canadian Government to stop commercial development in the area. At the same time, the transcontinental railway had been completed, contributing both to the Park’s popularity and unfortunately a threat to its safety • Two years after the park’s establishment, John Connor assumed duty as the first forest ranger. A citizen of Banff, he was appointed by the Park’s superintendent and tasked with its preservation. Connor spent his days patrolling the Railway in a handcar and performing clerical duties, but when fires swept through the valley, John jumped into action recruiting & deploying fire suppression crews • Driven by an uptick of forest fires caused by the sparks of passing trains, the Park officially established its Warden service in 1909, and a new team was developed to serve as both fire and game wardens with chief warden Howard E. Sibbald at the helm • Having grown up on the Canadian frontie, Sibbald brought a special sense of wilderness know-how to the position. He significantly improved preservation practices by increasing fire protection, trail construction, and forest patrol services – even implementing a fire lookout & telephone service between warden cabins to facilitate quicker communication • To this day, Banff National Park’s warden service has maintained its guard, continuing to aid in the protection & preservation of the wondrous wilds of Canada’s first national park – still operating out of warden cabins like Redearth Creek Cabin No. 31 above • Know more?

____________________ Genova–Casella Railway 🚞 Genoa, Italy 🇮🇹 c. 1929 • Climbing from sea to summit and back, the Genova-Casella Railway connects the port city of Genoa with the mountain village of Casella in the Liguria region of Italy. Known by locals as the “trenino” or “little train”, the Railway is a narrow gauge rail system that operates nine trains per day carrying both local commuters and curious travelers • Before a train took to the inclines, horses ruled the roadways in Genoa. In the 1870s, a horse bus system was developed that connected Genoa to the nearby Sampierdarena area. This served as a precursor to the electric trams that would later be developed. In 1929, the Genoa-Casella Railway was officially inaugurated • During WW2, Genovesi citizens fleeing the city packed the Railway’s trains to find refuge in the remote areas of the Apennines Mountains. Because Genoa was such an influential port, the city was heavily bombed by both Allied air and naval forces throughout the course of the War. The damage was so extreme that over 11,000 buildings were destroyed. The port’s harbor suffered 935 shipwrecks • The Railway hasn’t forgotten its history either. On certain occasions the Railways oldest train, dating back to 1924, travels along the rails. Originally built for the Sangritana railway, this train also houses the oldest working electric engine in Italy with many of its original parts still in order • Navigating steep inclines overlooking the Ligurian Sea, the trains climb upwards 458 meters above sea level. Among these remote areas surrounding Genoa are broad valleys, ancient fortresses, villages, and the historic Aqueduct. To this day, the Genova-Casella Railway passes through these areas on its daily 25 km route • Know more?

____________________ Poplar Cottage • London, United Kingdom 🇬🇧 c. 1695 • The last of its kind in a modernized London borough, Poplar Cottage is a simple structure that harkens back to 17th century rural English life. Built around 1695, the Cottage is the last surviving example of a weatherboard cottage in Charlton Village • Located in the Royal Borough of Greenwich, Charlton Village was once a tiny rural village far from the city. It was first recorded in the 1086 Domesday Book as “Cerletone” which is derived from Old English meaning “farmstead of the freemen or peasants”. Throughout the centuries, the village has been home to both farmers and the financially wealthy • In 1612, Sir Adam Newton commissioned a new manor house in the village. Named Charlton House, this Jacobean mansion was designed by architect John Thorpe, a little-known Renaissance designer who pioneered introducing corridors within houses. Thorpe’s corridor allowed for independent access to individual rooms, which was a departure from the then-common arrangement of rooms leading to the next by connecting doors, a feature known as “enfilade” • Eighty years later, Poplar Cottage would be built in a design in far contrast to the magnificence of the noble estate. As a weatherboard house, the Cottage is made up of wooden siding in the form of horizontal boards that often overlap. This style is also known as “clapboard”, which later rose to prominence in Colonial America • Although many of Charlton Village’s original weatherboard cottages were torn down in the 20th century, Poplar Cottage has remained on Charlton Road since it was built. It was restored by the Blackheath Preservation Trust, and remains a reminder of simple English farm life amid the hustle and bustle of the UK’s most populated city • Know more?
