How To Make A Good Story of the Journey - The Travel JunkieBowie Holiday
The other day, National Geographic Indonesia and Western Australia Tourism Board invited me out to sharing and talking about my experience. We were able to spend the day at LetterD and had a workshop in which we showed the specialised press how to make a good story of the journey during a tour of Western Australia’s most well-known spots. And here are my slides at the event:
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

52.
53. !
Delta Airline
Winner: Overall Airline, U.S.
• Multiple Twitter handles help Delta assist
passengers easily, whether for reservations
(@DeltaAssist) or breaking news
(@DeltaNewsroom). Meanwhile, calls for travel
photos and campaigns (“Show us your
#BiscoffBowTie”) keep the airline’s 460,000
followers inspired and engaged. Oh yes, and Delta
is also a runner-up in the SMITTYs contest
category. —Maria Pedone
54. Turkish Airline
Winner: Overall Airline Global
• Turkish Airlines has turned on the social media
spigot in a big way, even winning another SMITTY
this year for the best mobile-friendly campaign.
And a viral video was its most public effort. You’ve
probably seen the TV commercial: Kobe Bryant
trying to outdo Barcelona soccer player Lionel
Messi in juggling and balloon animal–making to
win over a young fan. But it’s an ice cream–bearing
flight attendant who succeeds (as does the airline:
the video has had more than 100 million YouTube
views). —Maria Pedone
55. San Franciso International Airport
Winner: Overall Airport, U.S.
• SFO won a SMITTY award last year, and it’s not
surprising to see the airport in the top slot again:
social media marketing company Viralheat ranked
it the most social media–savvy airport in America
for 2012. One of the ways it achieved that ranking:
postcards. While a Dickensesque character greeted
passengers throughout terminals, staffers snapped
photos to create both digital and physical holiday
postcards. Followers and fans were prompted to
share them using the hashtag #SFOHolidays. —
Maria Pedone
56. Aurora Expeditions
Winner: Overall Cruise Line

see when the cruise had made it to its destination—
even remote spots like Antarctica or Papua New
Guinea. —Maria Pedone
57. Visit Myrtle Beach
Winner: Overall CVB, U.S
• Myrtle Beach, SC, set out to show that its 60 miles
of coastline are just as great during the 60 days of
fall as they are in the summer. The tourism board

restaurants) on Pinterest and Twitter. Then, on

each week. —Maria Pedone
58. Visit Denver
Runner-Up: Overall CVB, U.S.
• Themed road rallies—including beer, history, and
adventure—sent travel bloggers on a scavenger
hunt across the Mile High City’s landmarks, from
the Denver Zoo to the Phoenix Gold Mine. Checkins on Visit Denver’s app and live tweets using the
hashtag #tbexrr revealed QR code tips about their
next destination. —Maria Pedone
59. Cape Town Tourism
Winner: Overall CVB, Global
• The next best thing to sending people to Cape
Town? Sending their Facebook profiles. More than
150 point-of-view videos were shot (think hang
gliding around Table Mountain), along with 400
first-person status updates, and posted onto
participants’ timelines. A few lucky users received
gifts from trips on their newsfeed (e.g., wine from a
vineyard visit), while grand-prize winners were
sent on a real holiday to the Mother City. —Maria

62. The Pfister Hotel
Winner: Overall Individual Hotel, U.S.
• The Pfister is so committed to fine art that it keeps
