Leave a comment

While every meal of the day is important to helping healthy, one which is often held above the rest is breakfast.

This is so important because it not only provides us with vital fuel for the day but also kick starts our metabolism.

Studies have also linked the meal to better memory, concentration as well as lowering the chances of heart disease and diabetes. You can read plenty more about the importance of your morning meal in this from Web MD.

Healthy & Unhealthy Choices

Obviously, simply eating breakfast doesn’t make it healthy. There are lots of unhealthy options on the modern day morning meal table, so it’s important to know what you are eating.

Just take a look at this helpful post from The Daily Meal which lists some of the healthiest and unhealthiest breakfast cereals.

If you are a particular lover of the morning meal, something which you might have noticed when on holiday is how much it differs.

In hotels, you might be slightly shielded from this, by being offered the ‘continental’ breakfast. However, depending on where you are visiting, there may well be a number of other delicious local options available.

Now you can discover lots of wonderful options from around the world thanks to a new infographic from citybaseapartments.com

It’s called ‘What Does Breakfast Look Like Around The World’ and you can take a look at it below.

By scrolling through the many different options you’ll see just how much breakfast varies around the globe.

There may well be a number you’re aware of, such as the Full English or the Australian Vegemite on toast. However, there are almost certainly plenty you haven’t sampled.

For example, the typical Japanese breakfast usually includes fish, fermented soybeans and tofu. This is certainly a morning meal which seems a million miles away from sausages, beans and eggs.

So, if you’re sick of having the same old breakfast, why not take a look what else you could be enjoying below?

Weirdest Ways Human Have Travelled [Infographic]

Weirdest Ways Human Have Travelled

Travelling around the world nowadays is incredibly easy because of the wide variety of transportation options. We’re completely spoilt for choice when it comes to cruise ships, airplanes, cars, trains, and even some more unusual methods of transportation such as toboggans. They all have their own positives and negatives, but are generally all quite popular amongst people for travelling from A to B. However, here at Exporta Global, we wanted to explore some of the stranger ways you can travel around the world, rather than just your average road trip in the car.

Firstly, we wanted to bring your attention to examples of people who have travelled in crazy ways, many of which we don’t actually recommend you do yourself. Reg Spiers, an Australian man who found himself stranded in London, needed to get back to Australia but didn’t have the budget for it. However, he succeeded in persuading his friend to air freight him back to Perth, which took 63 hours. Then there was Ben Saad from Dorset who decided to walk from Bournemouth to Brighton dragging a massive sofa behind him.

If you would rather not travel via a completely bizarre method, then there are some other options. If you’re travelling in Madeira, it’s tradition for men to run down the hill from Monte to Funchal while pushing tourists in a toboggan. And if you’re slightly short of money but fancy a trip on the sea, why not climb aboard a cargo ship rather than a cruise ship? They’re becoming increasingly popular for tourists and tend to offer accommodation, gyms and sometimes even small swimming pools.

Overall there are many bizarre ways to travel around the world, many of which you may never have known about before. Whether you want to go all out and set yourself a challenge of dragging a sofa, or whether you’d just like to laze by a swimming pool on a cargo ship, there are plenty of options for you.

Take a look at the infographic below to find out more about which method of transport should next be added to your bucket list.

How To Book The Perfect Accommodation

How To Book The Perfect Accommodation

Booking a holiday can be an intimidating task, particularly if you’ve taken responsibility for a group to travel together. Needs and tastes can come into conflict, and while internet searches and social trends have widened the options of places to stay, sometimes the choice can be overwhelming. Be it a country cottage or urban hostel, treehouse or penthouse, each comes with its pros and cons, making them dream stays for some – and a nightmare proposition for others.

Help has arrived in the form of this handy flow chart by Wimdu, which breaks down your options by group and by holiday type to suggest the most appropriate category of accommodation, whatever your needs. Travelling alone? Simple. You know your desired level of comfort, your aesthetic values, and the kind of people you want to be around – or to avoid. Taking a romantic break with your S.O.? Decide whether a mellow retreat will rekindle your sense of adventure, or you want to hit the city lights and dance til dawn.

With friends or family, it can be trickier. Pleasing everybody is no mean achievement, and nobody wants to find themselves cooped up with a band of grumpy or unenthusiastic bunkmates. If it’s mates your travelling with, consider what prompted the trip – did the nightlife at home get too sleepy, or are you all in search of some detox and fresh air? If you’ve got kids with you, their needs can take priority. Planning around a fussy eater or an anarchic two-year-old can make the trip smoother for everyone – and tuning in with their current fads can result in an inspiring trip all round.

There’s no shortage of options for the modern holidaymaker searching for somewhere to stay. Whether you know just what kind of break you want or you’re still trying to balance everybody’s preferences, the first step is to point your finger at the top of the chart – and see where it takes you.
