TRAVEL BUCKET LIST

geek daddy

What paths untraveled would you like to explore during your days on this Earth? There are so many adventures that I dream of going on. From going on a trek through the African savanna to hiking through Europe to visit castles, I have wanderlust to do some globetrotting. This month I've shared on Instagram and Twitter bucket list destinations that would be a dream vacay for me and will be continuing to post travel themed social media posts throughout the remainder of the year.

These vacations aren't about luxury and pampering, but rather creating experiences that provide life-long memories and let me step away from the daily stresses of life to casually experience exotic destinations. That could be as simple as wandering around a historic farmer's market in Croatia to taking a motorcycle ride through the palm groves of Morocco to riding a Zebra in Nevada. What is on your travel bucket list?

geek daddy

Throughout the remainder of the year this travel geek will be sharing tips on transforming vacation bucket lists from dreams to realities. Follow @Geekdad248 on Instagram and Twitter for these travel bucket list tips. I'm geeked to be sharing them with you!

WHY TRAVELING WITH KIDS IS IMPORTANT FOR THEM

geek daddy

You have to admit it ... traveling with kids can be kind of a pain in the ass! Because children have so many demands and traveling with them can be tedious, it is easy for parents to have the mindset that rather than being adventurous or providing a relaxing break, family vacations will instead be stressful and lacking in fun. However, that doesn't need to be the case. 

Travelling with your entire family is more than a trip to enjoy. Experiencing adventure with your family is one of the best things you should consider doing as a parent. Family vacations are not just trips to take for fun; they serve many other purposes. For example, it saves you the energy of explaining some things that you would rather be easier for them to understand when they experience it in person. 

It would be best to consider taking your kids with you on vacations. Family trips give your kids a chance to open up, tell you the challenges they have been going through in school. They also serve as stress relievers to the entire family. Then, at the end of the trip, you get back home, everyone feeling refreshed, happier and having learnt new things.

Building Parent-Child Relationship 

In most cases, parents are very busy in their jobs day in and day out and kids are also engaged in their school work. As a result, they barely spend quality time together to share their experiences. In such instances, children grow up, but there is no strong bond between them and their parents because everyone is busy. 

Parenthood is about building bonds between you and your child. Going on trips with your child helps to refresh your relationship, and you will also be able to create new memories that they will live to value and remember later in life. This will also make you feel accomplished as a parent. No parent would want to feel that they did not offer the best as a parent. 

It is essential to take snaps and post multiple pictures on Instagram to keep your memories during such trips. Looking back to when they were kids, having fun with their parents, they get to value the family bonds. This will help them grow knowing that they also have to emulate what their parents did, and it will be passed from generation to generation as a culture. 

Entertainment 

There are lots of fun activities you can do during your trip. You can have family game time to participate in games with your children. You can engage in games such as treasure hunts. During the drive, you can let them play a game of identifying various wildlife species you come across. 

Moreover, when they engage with other kids, you can have them in groups to play together or play against each other. This makes them have fun; they learn something from each other, enhancing their mental growth and boosting their communication skills. It further equips them with team-building skills. 

Cultural Integration 

Exposing your kids to various cultures early enough is critical. You could achieve this through cultural tourism to other countries. The world has a diversity of cultures, races and languages. Letting children learn this as they grow them respect diverse cultures. It also helps them value their own culture and normalize being around different people. 

It will help them learn about other cultures and help them adapt to a situation where they get to be in a different locality when they grow up because they will have already familiarized themselves with it. They can coexist with others from different parts of the world without making them feel discriminated against. It is because they understood equality despite the differences in human nature. This is a vital way of shaping children into human beings who are empathetic to each other and value the ethics of humanity. 

world travel

Brain Development 

A young brain is easy to mold, and a mind grasps things quickly that are practical rather than theoretical. Going out with kids and experiencing a whole new world with them leaves imprinted memories. Trips are a form of physical and sensory learning. 

Outings aid in growing a kid's cognitive ability, enhance focus and makes them suitable for wellness. For example, according to studies, kids who visit places tend to do better in school than those who do not. 

The views of snow-capped mountains, the flora, and the fauna are all things taught in school. Unfortunately, most children do not get a chance to see the geographical features. In contrast, the few who get the opportunity will be eager to learn more about them, granting them an added advantage.

Social Interaction 

Everyone needs a social life to be healthy. Humans are social beings in nature, and they need to interact with each other for their growth and development. Therefore, the social nurturing of kids is very crucial for their growth. During family vacations, children can socialize with other kids from different places. It further enhances the exchange of ideas as they play together and interact. 

Furthermore, this helps to mold the personality of the kids. Most families raise their children by locking them up in the house all day long. As a result, they grow up being introverts who are not used to socializing. Statistics further show that a more significant percentage of people battling depression are introverts. Would you want your child to grow up as an introvert and later get depressed? No one would wish that for their child. 

geek daddy

As a parent, it would be best if you broke the monotony of buying your children gifts and toys every other holiday. Instead, try some adventure with them. Take them out to allow them to change the environment and interact with people from all walks of life. 

Make your Christmas holidays more fascinating by taking your entire family out. With the pandemic, you don't have to travel outside the country. Any local sites to visit would also be one of the best options to consider as you prepare for the holidays. 

So go ahead and create good experiences and memories for them apart from the usual toys and gifts. Hopefully, you will all like the adventures and make memorable memories that you will reminisce over in future.

ACURSIAN

acursian

Did you know Legendary Entertainment, the production company behind such blockbuster films as The Dark Knight trilogy, Jurassic World, Pacific Rim and Godzilla vs Kong, also has a comic book division? LEGENDARY COMICS has published comic books and graphic novels tied to movies the company has released as well as stand alone titles such as THE TOWER CHRONICLES and KRAMPUS. The newest release from LEGENDARY COMICS is a graphic novel titled ACURSIAN which brings a popular digital comic strip from WEBTOON to print.

While digital comics can be convenient to purchase and read there is just something about holding a printed edition in your hands and flipping through its pages that I really appreciate. So it was nice to pick up Legendary Comics graphic novel adaption of the WEBTOON supernatural adventure Acursian. This graphic novel stands out not just because of its origin as a web comic but also in that one of its co-authors had his image illustrated as the story's main character. That is why the title is promoted as starring John Barrowman. 

John barrowman

Sci-fi and superhero tv show fans may be familiar with Scottish-American actor John Barrowman from his roles as Captain Jack Harness in BBC's Doctor Who and Malcolm Merlyn in The CW Network's Arrowverse. He has teamed up with his English professor sister Carole to write a suspenseful Celtic themed thriller with drawings by artists Beni Lobel and Rubine portraying John in their artwork as the lead character Charlie Stewart. Celtic myth and Scottish magic intertwine with the modern world as Charlie Stewart unexpectedly learns that curses can be very real.

acursian
legendary comics

Charlie Stewart is leading a wonderful life with an amazing wife and successful career as a high powered attorney. It is his 40th birthday though and suddenly his life begins to unravel.  He accidently splits his pants on his way to work, gets into a car crash that totals his vehicle, his wife starts acting crazy during a telephone call and he finds himself arrested for embezzlement upon arriving at his law office...and the day just gets worse from there!

This path of events sets him on a time-traveling journey set between 1745 and present day as he discovers his bloodline is cursed by the Celtic Gods based upon Charlie’s ancestor, Prince Charles Edward Stewart, breaking deal made with Bregon, the god of war. The Bonnie Prince had stolen three talismans from Bregon's sisters, the goddesses of fate and time, which he promised to return in exchange for the god of war's support Scotland's battle against England. The prince reneges on his pledge and until the talismans are returned, the three sisters can no longer control fate and time, but they can put a curse on Charles Edward Stewart and his descendants. The Stewart bloodline is now cursed to lose everything at the age of the Bonnie Prince's betrayal ... their 40th birthdays.

Now Charlie must find a way to reverse his misfortune and save his young son from a similar future. Can he find the missing talismans and if so who does he return them to? Bregon or his sisters? Will this break the curse? Or worse will restoring the power of fate and time to the gods alter life and destroy the world as we now know it? You'll have to read the graphic novel Acursian to find out!

If you appreciate stories in the vein of Highlander that merge history, mythology and fantasy plots together within a modern world setting, Acursian should pique your interest. You can order this graphic novel from your local comic shop or purchase it through Amazon.com.

Einstein Bros. Bagels - New Twist N' Dip: The Most Fun Bagel Ever

** A Geek Daddy received the featured product for free **

I recently swung by my neighborhood Einstein Bros. Bagels location to try out their new TWIST N' DIP BAGEL.  Now you can get a classic plain bagel perforated so that it easily twists apart into pieces that are the perfect size to conveniently dip into a container of shmear. Why didn't someone think of doing this sooner?!  No hassle, no mess! An easy, fun and convenient way to enjoy a bagel.

No need to worry about cutting apart bagels or spreading on shmear using a knife with the new TWIST N' DIP BAGEL which makes this perfect for serving at morning business meetings, providing as an afternoon snack for the kids, or enjoying yourself as a personal treat when you may be out and about.  Each of the new TWIST N' DIP BAGELS tears into bite size pieces and comes with two of Einstein's 16 flavors of signature shmear.
