Nicole Pang 🌵 USA Travel + Solo Hiking + Vanlife on Instagram: "Follow @pang_bang for more unique USA travel destinations and itineraries! This is the BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir in Chino Hills, located about one hour from Los Angeles. It’s the only earthquake proof hind temple (mandir) in the world and it’s free to visit daily. Wear modest clothing because no shorts or tank tops are allowed inside the temple. You will remove your shoes before entering the temple as well so consider bringing socks. You may take photo and videos outside the temple but not inside. I recommend visiting around sunset so that you can see the temple light up and additional exhibits open inside the temple at 4pm. Give yourself 1-2 hours here to visit, more if you love learning about history and architect

David & Cayleigh Barbeau | Made To Explore on Instagram: "Permits for The Wave in Arizona are extremely competitive and it’s not uncommon to spend a few weeks applying for the daily lottery with no success. Luckily, we ended up driving a little further and finding this incredible area that we think is even more beautiful😍 Instead of just one iconic photo spot filled with people looking to get the same photo, this place has a ton of space to spread out and explore which we loved🙌 ✨We’ve just published a video that goes into detail on this adventure including where to rent a jeep, which route to take, how to drive in sand, and an insane bonus stop🙌 Comment “White Pocket” and we will send you a link to this guide🥰✨ Here’s what you need to know: 📍 White Pocket, Arizona 🪧 This ar
Bianca 🌎🥾 travel + hiking + outdoors on Instagram: "MUST SAVE for your next Grand Canyon trip! Although Havasu Falls is arguably one of the most gorgeous falls here, there is another one you may not have heard of! Tucked away off of the North Kaibab Trail is a place called Ribbon Falls. This is a long and hard hike but 100% worth it. Round trip it is 16.8 miles with over 5K ft. of elevation gain. Or if you want to make it even longer like I did, you can make it a stop along the way when doing Rim-to-Rim. This route is much harder and ends up being over 25 miles. This hike is no joke and you NEED to come prepared. When we started the hike in the top of the canyon, it was very chilly. But temperatures rise fast and by time we were in the bottom of the canyon, it was 100 degrees out. Ma
Mihaela Balan/ musicogram/ rhythmogram/ piano/ flauta on Instagram: "A little energy and a rhythm in improvement! 💃🏻🕺 💃🏻🕺Russian Dance to The Nutcracker Suite by Tchaikovsky allows you to imagine yourself in the vibrant heat, the wave of passion and intensity, the faintest sound of say in the air, or the need to shake your head. The music graph provides a copy of the song, which is a way to creatively discover the rhythm and dynamics of the feet. You can draw different graphics lines that bend quickly, close them, and form accents too small for your hands to vibrate in the hanging energy net. This is the meticulous opportunity to combine music and art interactively!” Regular repetition improves these skills and helps stimulate neural connections, supporting cognitive development a

Jake Guzman on Instagram: "The largest Sea Lion cave in America! 🦭🌊 This massive sea cave is located right off of highway 101 on the Oregon coast. To reach it, you take a 200ft elevator ride down into the cave. This cave was adopted by a herd of Steller sea lions and on average over 200+ sea lions call this place home year round. Winter is the best time to view the sea lions inside the cave. In spring and summer, these wild marine animals gravitate to outdoor ledges along the shoreline.
