Top 4 Best Places to Travel in 2023!
Kyrgyzstan
This offbeat Central Asian nation is perhaps one of the best-kept secrets of adventure travel. The landscapes are vast, mostly green expanses of stunning mountains and valleys-part of the famous Pamir Mountains even roll through the country.
Canada
Canada has endless options to keep your kids entertained-and tired out! It is a beautiful country to visit with a wide variety of great places to stay. You could go to Toronto and enjoy the must-sees such as the CN Tower. The Ontario Science Museum also has hands-on exhibits and hours of play and education-and not just for the kids!
Southeast Asia
Southeast Asia is the region to travel to on a budget. You can find dorm beds for five dollars, and delicious noodles for even less. One week you might be learning to dive in Phuket, and the next week you’re travelling on to Cambodia and through to Vietnam moving across jungle borders by motorbike.
Egypt
The Egyptian pyramids are one of those things that just live up to the hype. After all, it’s not every day you get to be impressed by masterpieces of the ancient world. But while you absolutely should visit all of Egypt’s archeological wonders, you’ll also love how easy it is to get off the beaten track. As Egypt gets very hot, it’s best to plan your trip for the winter-spring months, when temperatures are milder and you can easily spend all day exploring in comfort!

【推荐2】Pinewood Studios is located (位于) about twenty miles west of central London and named after the pinetrees in the grounds. Pinewood has been at the heart of both British and international film production. The house, Heatherden Hall, was bought by Charles Boot in 1934, and he and J. Arthur Rank became partners in the project to build the studios. Pinewood proved pioneering in its use of the “unit system” that allowed more than one film to be made at a time,and this enabled Pinewood to achieve the highest output of all the studios in the world. The first film to be completed at Pinewood was Talk of the Devil (1936, Reed) while the immediate postwar period saw six major productions including the praised Oliver Twist ( 1948 , Lean ) and The Red Shoes ( 1948 , Powell and Press-burger).
The 1950s saw countless productions including the Doctor series and medical comedy, which were the fathers to the Carry On films: the series started with Doctor in the House (1954,Thomas) and led to a further six films. Other notable films of the 1950s age include The Prince and the Showgirl ( 1957 Olivier ) starring Marilyn Monroe, Carve Her Name with Pride (1958 , Gilbert), North West Frontier (1959 Thompson) and The Thirty-Nine Steps (1959, Thomas). The Thirty-Nine Steps was a reworking of John Buchan’s novel originally filmed by Hitchcock in 1935. Because of its new ideas and skills, American production companies crowded to Pinewood and a major reinvestment (再投资) was required. During the 1960s,four new stages were built to accommodate every aspect of film and television production. This period also saw the start of the association between Pinewood and the James Bond series, which started in 1962 with Dr No (Young). The studios have continued to produce imaginative and technically challenging material such as Superman (1978,Donner), Superman Ⅱ (1980,Lester),Superman Ⅲ (1983, Lester), Superman Ⅳ: The Quest for Peace (1987, Furie),and Batman (1989,Burton).

【推荐1】A travel journal is one of the best ways to keep a long voyage in memory. Many details that don’t seem important while you are writing your travel journal often turn out to be so memorable.
Use your “down time” for your travel journal. There is a surprising amount of sitting around while traveling. You can always put down a few lines in your travel journal when you are on trains, waiting for planes, drying your laundry, or waiting in line.
At the beginning of your journal, write down the day, where you are, who you are with, maybe even the weather and what you eat.
Focus on writing about how you feel. Listing facts and figures is fine but that isn’t why you traveled. A long journey is a time for self-reflection. Memories of these feelings fade quickly with time.
| A．Keep ticket stubs. |
| B．Book your ticket in advance. |
| C．You’d better write down as much as possible. |
| D．These are the first details people tend to forget. |
| E．It doesn’t have to be long, just on a regular basis. |

【推荐3】Born from the accessibility of mass air travel, modern international tourism has been popularized as “holiday-making” in regions that offer comparative advantages of sand, sun and sea. Travel is often portrayed as a tool for personal growth and tourism as an economic motor for destination countries and cities. There is a tendency to assume that tourism is good for everyone involved.
Today the big bang of tourism drives over 1. 2 billion tourists across international borders annually. Many popular places are literally being loved to death. Recent protests in ports of call like Venice and Barcelona against disturbances created by cruise ships show the unfortunate consequences of emphasizing quantity over quality in tourism. Uncontrolled tourism development has become a primary driver of social and environmental disruption. Tourism studies provide much documentation of the many negative social impacts of tourism and resulting resentment that local populations direct toward visitors.
Antagonism(对立，敌对) toward tourists typically develops in mature, heavily visited destinations. Protests in heavily visited destinations suggest that traditional tourism has overstayed its welcome.
Residents often become frustrated when the benefits of tourism are not felt locally. Although it can generate foreign exchange, income and employment, there’s no guarantee that multinational hotel chains will allocate these benefits equitably among local communities.
On the contrary, when people stay at large resorts or on cruise ships, they make most of their purchases there, leaving local communities little opportunity to benefit from tourist spending. These forms of tourism widen economic and political gaps between haves and have-nots at local destinations.
In recent decades, local residents in destination communities also have found themselves negotiating new cultural boundaries, class dynamics, service industry roles and lifestyle transformations. For example, data show that tourism activity corresponds to increased social problems as local residents adopt the behaviors of tourists.
What does all this mean for the everyday traveler?
First, all tourists should make every effort to honor their hosts and respect local conditions. This means being prepared to adapt to local customs and norms, rather than expecting local conditions to adapt to travelers.
Second, tourism is a market-based activity and works best when consumers reward better performers. In the information age, there’s little excuse for travelers being uninformed about where their vacation money goes and who it enriches.
Informed travelers also are better able to distinguish between multinational companies and local entrepreneurs whose businesses provide direct social, environmental, and economic benefits for local residents. Such businesses are in love with the destination and are therefore deserving of market reward. In the long run, being a responsible traveler means ensuring net positive impacts for local people and environments. With the information available at our fingertips, there has never been more opportunity to do so.

【推荐2】As the coronavirus pandemic spread out, the demand for smell training therapy (疗法) stepped up, as potentially millions of those who had COVID-19 experienced losing their sense of smell.
Unlike some other viruses that can cause the loss of smell by directly infecting cells involved in detecting smell, the virus that causes COVID-19 spares them. Instead, the coronavirus infects surrounding support cells. To defend the body against the virus, immune cells rush to this site of infection and generate antiviral proteins, which then lead to the loss.
Approximately 80% of COVID-19 patients who had lost their sense of smell regained it without any treatment within one to four weeks. But as three months went by, patient Chris Rogers’ situation barely improved, so he started to seek out smell training therapy.
Twice a day for 10 weeks, Rogers sniffed four kinds of essential oils—rose, lemon, eucalyptus, and clove—to potentially strengthen the survival of newly formed smell-detecting cells or speed up their production and rebuild the connection between his nose and brain. To assess whether this smell therapy was effective, the doctor asked Rogers to distinguish between a number of additional smells before and after the smell training. Rogers did the therapy for 10 weeks and started noticing improvements at week six. At least five months since the smell training ended, the improvements can be more like 75%.
While scientists have recorded improvements in some individuals’ ability to smell, it has been difficult to show how much of that improvement comes from the therapy itself or natural recovery occurring over time, said Eric Holbrook, a doctor at Massachusetts Eye and Ear Hospital. “But I continue to recommend the therapy because such training could speed up the healing process. Also, it’s one of very few and often the only therapeutic options that’s available to millions of COVID-19 patients who haven’t been able to regain their sense of smell for months,” Eric Holbrook added.
Although the benefits of smell training can vary considerably among patients, depending on their starting point, “it is generally not considered harmful,” says Bradley Goldstein, a specialist studying at Duke University. “But we still need to find specific, more effective drug therapies. It’s really an unmet need.”

【推荐3】Research has shown that music has an important effect on one’s body and mind. In fact, there is a growing field of health care known as music therapy（疗法）, which uses music to treat diseases. Even hospitals are beginning to use music therapy. This is not surprising, as music affects the body and mind in many powerful ways.
Research has shown that quick music can make a person feel more alert（警惕的）, while slow music can produce a calm, deep thinking state. Also, research has found that music can change brainwave activity levels. This can help the brain to change speeds more easily on its own as needed, which means that music can bring lasting benefits to your state of mind, even after you’ve stopped listening.
Breathing and heart rates can also be influenced by music. This can mean slower breathing, slower heart rate. This is why music and music therapy can help reduce the damaging effects of long-term stress, greatly promoting (促进) not only relaxation, but health.
Music can also be used to bring about a more positive state of mind by helping to keep worries at bay. Music has also been found to bring many other benefits, such as lowering blood pressure and reducing the risk of strokes. It is no surprise that so many people are considering music as an important tool to help the body become or stay healthy.
