Bali. That is where I am. Often called Island of Gods, Island of Hinduism, Island of Love, and my personal favorite Island of Peace. This province of Indonesia is located in the Southern Hemisphere on the continent of Asia. The most enjoyable nature based tourism experience I could possibly fathom absolutely takes place here.
I close my eyes and see myself up before sunrise, sitting on a small carpet outside on the deck of my adorable yet peaceful villa rental. Transfixed by the sound of ocean waves breaking at the shore, legs crisscrossed, a cup of tea clutched between my hands barely gracing my lips, and tired eyes opened just enough to get a glimpse of the sun collide into the side one of the islands infamous Hindu temples. Taking in everything happening all at once and breathing in the lush island air with a hit of incense and sea salt.
Being located near the ocean is essential for this trip. The ocean is my serenity, my peace. Regardless of what is happening in my life or in the world, it is a place I can go to or even just admire from afar and forget all if my troubles. The ocean is a resource so untouchable by humanity and that is how it makes me feel, untouchable. There is nothing that humans can do to really change the ocean. We cannot stop the waves from breaking, we cannot change the temperature to make it more comfortable for a swim, and we certainly cannot change it from making a sunrise or sunset even more beautiful than it already is. By being near the ocean, I will constantly be reminded of these factors and maybe even find ways to reflect all of its amazing characteristics into my own everyday life and outlook. It keeps me grounded and prompts me to stay unaffected and untouched by negative energies. ...

...y non-intimate friendships, or just I alone. (6) The social conditions of the resource setting need to allow my friends and I to be together when we desire company and apart when we require solitude. A lot of this experience will require solitude. (9) Facilities are not all that important to me however if I were to list a few things would say that I’d like my villa to be eco friendly, use recycled ground water, and have an outdoor shower. It would also have a regular indoor toilet just for convenience purposes. Finally (10) managerial controls, I do not care for these at all to be honest. I consider myself a traveler not a tourist so I do not see my self doing the regular tourist things and even needing anything when it comes to managerial controls. I like to do and find out about everything either by myself or through friends I've made during my journey.
The ocean is mysterious to mankind. The unfathomable vastness of the ocean intrigues humanity into exploring it. In life, the immense possibilities that lie in the future compel us to reach for the stars. In the poem “The Story” by Karen Connelly, an individual willingly swims into deep waters even though they are fearful of what may exist in the waters. The swimmer later finds out that their fears were foolish, which illustrates the human tendency to venture into the unknown. The theme conveyed in this poem is that life is like a rough, uncertain, uncontrollable ocean that we must find get through with experience.
The ocean is the center and foundation of this story. The ocean is also part of the scenery and the background, without the ocean, there would be no story. Not only is the ocean the center and the foundation, it is also a symbol of many things in this story. To me, the ocean in this story takes on human characteristics in that to me, it symbolizes a seducer or seductress. The ocean also becomes an escape from reality and symbolizes life itself. The ocean is important because it is what helps bring Edna into her awakening and that is good, in the sense that it helps Edna into finding herself. However, the ocean is evil in that it is responsible for Edna’s demise.
“The Ocean’s Glory – and Horror” is a speech given by Brian Skerry that depicts the impact humans can have on the ocean and the species within it. Brian Skerry is an underwater photographer and decided that people didn’t completely understand what was occurring underneath the surface of that sparkly blue ocean that they love so much. Skerry emphasizes how the audience needs to explore these different perspectives to get a new understanding of how life beneath the ocean’s surface really works. This lecture also grabbed my attention due to the fact that it goes along with my major in marine biology. The entire speech focuses on giving the audience a new point of view of the ocean and key factors in preserving the beauty of the deep blue. This
1. Maui, Hawaii- Maui is a very peaceful island with pristine beaches that include awesome and fun water activities such as windsurfing, kiteboarding, snorkeling.

The gleaming sun is an orange on fire waiting to be picked. The silky, smooth sand that gushes between the toes, just soothes and warms anyone’s body. That incredible moment of the salty ocean breeze cooling the sweat right of hot pedestrians. The gorgeous palm trees spread about chasing people to give them relief and joy as they lay in the comforting hammocks to relax in peace. The pina-coladas spread through the body and refresh people with their cool and creamy substance that slowly soothes anyone’s throat. The experience is one of a

Firstly, Ocean City boasts an awe-inspiring appeal to our senses through its grace. I begin each visit standing stagnant; stunned by the beauty the city entails. Each time, I soak up the sensation of the grain beneath my feet, the way it appeared as though the waves
The grass is cool on my bare feet and I feel the summer breeze blow past me from the creek and across the cornfields. It travels into the woods and disappears past the dark trees. Each day I walk through my family's country property and connect to the nature around me in a way that is the closest to spirituality that I have ever experienced. I think about how much I appreciate the peacefulness of the birds and wind and how close I once was to losing my small Eden forever. I know now that the fight to protecting the natural world is never over and how imperative of a fight it is to pursue.
This morning I wake early from the light that creeps underneath my blinds and my bed next to the window. I wake floating on the streams of light, heated, like white wax spilled across the floor, dripping, soft. In bare feet I walk down the stairs, cold on the wood, and find my father in the kitchen, also awake early. Together, we leave the house, the house that my parents built with windows like walls, windows that show the water on either side of the island. We close the door quietly so as not to wake the sleepers. We walk down the pine-needle path, through the arch of trees, the steep wooden steps to the dock nestled in the sea-weed covered rocks. We sit silently on the bench, watch as the fog evaporates from the clear water. The trees and water are a painting in muted colors, silver and grays and greenish blue, hazy white above the trees.
Waking up early in the morning to the smell of reviving, salty ocean breeze arouse your soul. I got out of my bed and saw my friends making scrambled eggs for breakfast. I filled the mug with coffee and cream and sat on the balcony to enjoy the beautiful ocean view. Chirping of the birds and calming murmuring sounds of the ocean waves made the mornings unforgettable
The final device used within this poem is imagery. It is obvious that the setting of this poem is on a beach by a sea. The poem refers to the sea, wind, Proteus, and the triton. The author uses imagery to allow for the reader to visualize where the setting of the poem is located. The imagery helps reinforce the theme by creating a beautiful image of the natural sea. Humans in this present day continue to focus on money and success rather than a magnificent sea. The author uses imagery trying to explain to the reader how incredible nature truly
In the early summer mornings, when the sunshine is young and playful, inside the church another realm is born. Sitting in the back rows one can see a heavenly mist flowing though the windows and filling the sleepy altar with life and hope. It is a different dimension in the breast of an unsuspecting world. Moments such as these bring you joy and reassurance and also show you that there really is someone out there: your soul is elevated, your mind is thirsty for new experiences and your body is strengthened.
As I walked down the worn dirt path to the ocean, I was astonished by how many people were lounging by the water.. As I got closer to the water’s edge, I contemplated why more people don 't swim and decide to tan in the sun instead. The feeling of being alone with the ocean and my thoughts played in my mind.
Fortunately, I wake every morning to the most beautiful sun lit house. I sit on my porch sipping coffee, while I drink in an atmosphere that steals my breath away. Rolling hills lay before me that undulate until they crash into golden purple mountains. Oh how they are covered in spectacular fauna, ever blooming foliage, and trees that are heavy with pungent fruit. Green it is always so green here at my house. Here where the air lays heavy and cool on my skin as does the striking rays of the sun upon my cheeks. I know in my soul why I choose to be here every day. Pocketed in all the nooks and crannies of these valleys and hills are stately homes, rich with architecture resplendent. Diversity is the palate here; ...
