One of the most favorite adventure vacation destinations of people nowadays is Belize, a small nation on the eastern coast of Central America. And why not? Being a place that is strategically located on the Caribbean Sea, Belize has all the adventure and has to offer compared to any place there is.

Belize can be found between the Hondo and Sarstoon Rivers, Belize is popular for the Belize River that flows down at the heart of the country. Geographically speaking, the north of Belize is characterized by flat and swampy coastal plains. Other places are heavily forested and consist of flora that is highly diverse.

Its south area is composed of low mountain ranges of the Maya Mountains while its Caribbean coast is lined with soft coral reefs and some 500 islets and islands called "cayes." Belize boasts off the Belize Barrier Reef which is known as the longest in the western hemisphere and is considered as the second longest in the whole world, next to the Great Barrier Reef.

Off to an extreme adventure

When people speak of Belize, only two words will come to mind—romance and adventure. If you are planning to go to Belize for an adventure vacation, it is a must that you familiarize yourself with the place by knowing a dose of its rich history. You should also familiarize yourself with going around the place such as knowing various means of transportation such as buses, cars, motorcycles and bicycles. You should also have any idea what to expect from the place in terms of accommodations, foods, and activities that you can do.

For an ultimate adventure vacation, the following are just some of the romantic things and exciting activities and places that you can visit:

1. The Great Barrier Reef. Being one of the world’s greatest treasures, a trip to Belize would mean nothing if you have not visited the longest reef in the western hemisphere, The Great Barrier Reef. You will definitely the visit because it doesn’t not only give you an amazing nature experience but a sense of adventure as well.

2. Visiting the caves. Caving is indeed one of the most adventurous activities that you can do while in Belize. Here, you can witness various formations of caves with abundant limestone and wet climates.

3. Exploring the island by land. This can be very tiring but thrilling because you get to explore the place on your own and at your own pace. You can do your exploration by taking a golf cart ride, castle cars, and though bikes that are available for rent.

4. Sea adventure. Exploring the seas can be as exciting as rediscovering the land. To relish the beauty of the island and its waters, rent a charter boat with guide to go around the island or you can rent a kayak that will take you to various parts of the island. You can also rent boats for boating; you can do fishing, and do various water sports such as jetskis, waverunners, diving, snorkeling, windsurfing, kite surfing, sailing, canoeing, kayaking, and catamarans.

Aside from the activities mentioned, one great thing that makes Belize a favorite adventure vacation destination is the climate which, is tropical and is generally very hot and humid. This makes it a perfect getaway destination for people and couples who love beaches while basking in the warm and pleasant weather.

Although the climate here is generally hot, rainy season also occurs from May to November so don’t opt to go there during those times.

For most people, travelling can be the best opportunity to take great photos. Here are some tips to help you get the most out of your travel photography.

If you're planning to travel and want to take some great photos while you're there, a bit of advance planning can often make the difference between frustration and a great photo album. There are also some different techniques that you can use to help get the most out of your limited time.

Plan on bringing an accessory bag or pack - it’s not a problem if you don't have a custom camera accessory bag, depending on the size of your camera and accessories, a small backpack or purse will do just fine. One essential to bring is an extra charged battery or two - you never want to be stuck in the middle of nowhere, with the perfect shot composed in front of you, and have your battery die - most trips only provide for limited opportunities at a particular photo op, so take full advantage of the time you have. Another must-have accessory is extra storage space – either an additional memory card/stick or two, or some way to download photos while on the road to free up space. A common frustration is being ready to take a photo, realizing that you’re out of space, and being forced to delete previous photos to make room – you never want to be in the position of having to delete one great memory to capture another. Another travel photography accessory that often gets forgotten about is a tripod. Many companies sell small portable tripods that can be thrown in a purse or camera bag, and are invaluable when taking highly composed shots, low light pictures, or capturing a great photo of friends and family at a get-together.

It's also a good idea to brush up on your photography skills before going on a trip, various photography websites such as Digital Photography Tips provide advice and tips to help improve your picture-taking - the more you practice in advance, the better your travel pictures will turn out.

Different techniques can also be used while traveling to make the most of your photos. One technique that’s easier to do with digital photography is to take multiple photographs of the same scene. As long as you have enough storage to spare, take more than one photograph of the same scene, as it’s too late when you get home to say “I wish I had moved a bit to the right”, or noticing after-the-fact that someone’s eyes were closed. When taking photos of landscapes, objects, or landmarks, a good technique is to start out by taking a photo with the widest angle your camera will allow, and then zoom in closer until you are tightly framing the landmark, people, or objects of interest for your photo. Also try different vantage points for the same scene, and different angles for the composition. This helps to ensure that you have a broader range of compositions to choose from once you’re gone, as many trips only come once, so you might not have the opportunity to go back and take the picture again.

One final thing to remember is that you can't go back in time. Taking photos is a great way of capturing the memory, but don't forget to enjoy the trip itself - this sounds like simple advice, but many enthusiast photographers find that they get so caught up in taking all the 'perfect shots', that they end up missing the vacation itself, and they lose out on enjoying the trip (as well as missing the time spent with their families or travel companions). So don't forget to put the camera down, smell the roses, and enjoy the trip - if you miss that perfect shot, you can always buy a postcard!

OWF in Dubai

0 comments










There are more than 180,000 Filipinos residing in the UAE and the population is rapidly increasing every year, with only few has intention in going back home. Some Pinoys who came in the late 70s have established businesses, some brought in their families and relatives while some have children who studied and set up family here. Some even have three generations here.

Despite of the difficulties of getting visas and also expensive accommodations, Filipinos still find this country a good place to earn good income and consider the country as an ideal place to raise their family -- a concept that is inevitable considering the unstable economic and political situation in the Philippines.

If you have good stories to tell about your experiences here in Dubai, you can share it here.
