Hello again! Today I am going to tell you about my last visit to KO ADANG, IN THAILAND IN ASIA!!! The capital of Asia is Beijing, which i also got to visit! Did you know that Russia is the only country that borders Asia, I find that pretty interesting! I also found out that there are TONS of bodies of water that surround Asia they are the Black sea, the Mediterranean, the Red sea, the Arabian sea and the Persian gulf; the Indian Ocean, the Pacific Ocean, the South China sea, the Yellow sea, the sea of Japan, The Bering straits and the Arctic ocean. Thats a lot isn't it! Did you also know that the GPS coordinates for Ko Adang beach is 6 degrees longitude and 99 degrees latitude. Pretty cool, huh? You can find that on Google earth. The climate of this beach is very warm and the weather is almost ALWAYS nice! Ko Adang is a VERY large, mountainous, beach that is covered by rain forests, it is just beautiful!!! I think this is the farthest amount of miles i have had to travel since i started, I had to travel 9,908 miles from Zagore Beach, in Antarctica, which was my last location visit. As always I got to Asia by plane, and luckily this time there was NO delays! I feel that I am very lucky to have had this opportunity, to travel around the world and see things that some people may never be able to see in there lives! I learned SO much on my trip! I think the biggest thing i learned was that every country is different and has there own way of life, which i admire. I wish everyone could have the opportunity I did! My family was SO happy to see me after six long weeks and I was SO happy and excited to see them, traveling around the world was fun and exciting but i also LOVE being back home with my family! Well thanks for reading my blog! Goodbye!!!

Around The World Blog: My Fifth location visit!!!!
Hello! Today I am going to tell you about my LAST location I went to! My last location was.... ZAGORE BEACH IN ANTARCTICA!!! Did you know that Antarctica had NO cities, permanent residents, government OR capital! I think THAT was the most interesting thing I found out! Also no countries border it because there are no countries in Antarctica, I found that pretty interesting to! No countries may border Antarctica but these bodies of water do! The Atlantic Ocean, The Indian Ocean, and the Pacific Ocean border Antarctica! The GPS coordinates for Zagore Beach in Antarctica are 62 degrees longitude and 60 degrees latitude. The climate of Antarctica is the coldest on EARTH! The lowest temperature ever recorded on earth was negative 128.6 degrees (F) and it was in Antarctica! Antarctica is also VERY dry, it only gets 6.5 inches of rain a year!! Amazing! You should see Antarctica! Zagore Beach has just miles of icy cold water, and surrounded by HUGE glaciers! Also there are A LOT of penguins, they are adorable! Zagore Beach is named after the historic region of Zagore, makes a lot of sense, huh? Zagore Beach is a lot of ways away from Tayrona, Santa Marta, in Colombia, I had to travel 8,774 miles!!!! That's a lot! I had to take a helicopter to Antarctica, considering theres no air ports. It was a little different from a plane but it still wasn't scary. The helicopter was GREAT to ride in! I think the biggest difference between from my last location to Antarctica was the weather! It was VERY cold! Well I got to go get ready for my next location visit, BYE!!!!

Around The World Blog: My Fourth location visit!
Hello again! Today I am going to tell you about my fifth location visit which was .... TAYRONA, SANTA MARTA, COLUMBIA, IN SOUTH AMERICA!! It was absolutely BEAUTIFUL there! The capital of Columbia is Bogota, which is also very pretty. Did you know that Ecuador, Peru, Venezuela, Brazil, and Panama all border Columbia! The South Atlantic Ocean, The South Pacific ocean, and the Southern Antarctic Ocean, are all bodies of water that border South America, I was so happy I got to see them all! I found out that the GPS coordinates for Tayrona, Columbia is eleven degrees altitude and 74 degrees longitude. Cool right?! Columbia's climate changes A LOT. Towards the Coast it is very HOT! But in the mountains the temperature is cold and the mountains have snow on them too!!! Tayrona, Columbia is gorgeous! The beach has BRIGHT BLUE crystal clear waters with warm golden colored sand! The sun shines all the time the it has huge rocks on the sand. Behind the beach, you can see miles of miles of trees, so its like being on a beach in the forest! I found out this cool fact on the history of this beach! Did you know the Santa Marta is Colombia's first Spanish settlement! I find that fascinating! I also found that Tayrona, Santa Marta, Columbia beach is about 4,690 miles from my last location which was Panama City Beach in Florida. I got to my new location by plane, I have gotten pretty used to flying now. Although it was TONS of fun, my plane did have a two hour delay, oh well though it was worth the wait! I'd say the biggest difference between Tayrona, Santa Marta beach in Columbia, and Panama City Beach is the way the beaches look! Columbia's had rocks and trees around the beaches and Panama City Beach in Florida was just sand and water. Well it was nice blogging to you, but i gotta go now, I must get ready for my next trip!

Hello again! Today I am going to tell you about my visit too.... PANAMA CITY BEACH, FLORIDA IN NORTH AMERICA!!! The capital of Florida is Tallahassee, I like that name! Did you know that their is only ONE country that borders North America and it is South America, Columbia? Neither did I! Their are a lot of bodies of water that border North America are the Atlantic Ocean, the Pacific Ocean, and The Golf Of Mexico.The GPS coordinates for Panama City Beach Florida are 30 degrees latitude and 85 degrees longitude. Pretty interesting huh? The climate is warm and humid, when I was there, considering it was in the summer and it is usually like that in the summer. Panama City Beach is GORGEOUS! It has sparkling blue waters, and white sugar colored sand. Did you know that before Panama City Beach was settled as a community in the 1800s the St. Andrews Bay area was home to a lot of native Americans. Amazing right? I had to travel a lot of ways... Panama City Beach is 2962 miles from The French Riviera! ( my last location visit.) I traveled form The French Riviera in Europe to Panama City Florida by plane! At first I was really scared but now its really fun! Luckily their were no layovers this time. I feel that traveling is VERY exciting and fun, theirs nothing like traveling throughout the world to make your life more exciting. Well I got to go now, off to my next location!

Around the world blog: My Second location visit!
Hello! I am going to tell you about my second location visit. I am visiting Seychelles, Africa! The capital of Seychelles Africa is Victoria. Seychelles has no neighboring countries, which is pretty cool! The Indian Ocean is the only body of water that surrounds Seychelles. The GPS coordinates for Seychelles, Africa are: Latitude: 4.583333, Longitude: 55.66667 lots of numbers right? The climate in Seychelles is VERY hot, the republic of Seychelles consists of 115 islands of the east coast of Africa. The total population is about 84,000. AMAZING! The history of Africa is very fascinating! They traded across a series of coastal trading towns, the key one being Kilwa. One region that saw considerable state formation due to its high population and agricultural surplus was the Great Lakes region where states such as Rwanda, Burundi, and Buganda became strongly centralized. Did you know that from Africa, my first location visit, to hear it is 6849 miles! That is a LONG way ! I took a plane to here from Australia, I was really nervous at first but then I realized it was REALLY fun! I am very excited! Good bye now!

Around the world blog: My first location visit!
Hello their! Today I'm visiting Long beach, Australia! The capital of Australia is Canberra. Australia's neighboring countries include New Zealand, Indonesia, East Timor, and Papua New Guinea. I hope to visit them all to! Tasmania, Queens Island, Northwest Territory are all bodies of water that border Australia, isn't that awesome, I cannot wait! Did you know that if you look on google earth you can find the GPS coordinates for where I'm going? They are 35 degrees 41'56.025, and 150 degrees 14'04.04, thats A LOT of numbers to remember! I did some research on Australia so I could get some information about it before I went and I found a good description of the climate. The largest part of Australia is desert, and 40% of the landmass is sand dunes! Australia supposedly VERY hot and barely gets any rain, I better better remember to bring sun screen! Australia looks BEAUTIFUL! It has sparkling beach water and gold colored sand, and with the sun always shining everything always looks shining! Australia has a fascinating history! The first settlers came to Australia around 50,000 years ago! Back then the land was more humid and the animals were larger.I decided i wanted to go to Long, beach Australia because it is said to be one of the most beautiful beaches in Australia, and i cannot wait to see for myself!
Well I need to go, Good day!
