I am here to welcome you to Worcester County, Maryland and some of the most unique and absolutely breathtaking destinations that any travel enthusiast could venture to. Assateague Island, a national park overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, is a jaw-dropping beach where excursionists are invited to star-gaze, fish, camp, and even storm-chase. Assateague is a common spot to find locals sitting around a bonfire roasting marshmallows while cooking freshly caught Blue Fish. Visit Assateague during late July to intimately observe the eclectic species that inhabit its 41,000 acres. You will find yourself only a few feet away from Assateague Island’s elegant ponies, one of its many 300 species of birds such as the Great Blue Heron, and a myriad of fascinating plant species including the Rose Myrtle and the Trumpet Creeper.

As you cross the bridge over Assawoman Bay, you will find yourself in Ocean City! Ocean City is a welcoming Maryland resort that is filled with plenty of crabs, but never crabby locals; we are famous for our crab cakes, crab mac n’ cheese, not to mention our steamed crab legs. Our most popular eating locations include Higgins Crab House, Phillips Crab House, and Seacrets Restaurant. Along with our crabs, another famous feature is the beach! During the day, locals find themselves making friends with tourists from around the globe while lounging around the sandy shore in the summer air. The newly repaired Boardwalk and Pier are also destinations in which travelers can view the sunset as well as the local surf competitions that are included during mid-summer. Then, after an exhausting day of pleasure is finished, voyagers may find themselves at Ocean City’s finest resort, the Hilton Hotel. With a pool bar and children’s care center, the Hilton provides some of Ocean City’s finest staying accommodations and aims to give each guest a homey atmosphere. It can be found just a few streets away from Ocean City’s cutest Boutiques, Alexis Jade and Ish where many men find themselves being steered to by their enthusiastic ladies.
For those of you who enjoy serenity, there is the quaint town of Berlin, Maryland. Berlin’s history dates back in 1677. Berlin serves as a historians dream town. One may often find many visitors in the Taylor House Museum learning about the past events that took place in Berlin. Additionally, the Atlantic Hotel is another key attraction in town that is a must-stay for those who enjoy the possibility of a spooky encounter. With a great reputation for food, the Atlantic Hotel earns its excellent rating as a reasonably priced destination and ghosts eat for free. Consequently, Berlin’s horse-drawn carriage service creates a romantic setting that recreates the feeling of historical cobblestone streets for couples as well as families. In addition, window shopping and year round farmers’ markets accentuate the town’s pleasant atmosphere with an ability to satisfy the consumer in all of us. As home of our mayor, Gee Williams, war hero Stephen Decatur, and one incredible Fiddler’s Convention, Berlin is a great area to visit for historical excitement filled with the promises of a great meal and some spooky-good entertainment.

Great blog! I really enjoyed reading it. The way you explained everything in such simple and clear words made it easy to follow. Sometimes blogs can get too technical or confusing, but this one was straight to the point and very helpful.

I had the chance to experience Denmark during the Christmas season, and it’s something I’ll always hold close to my heart. Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen felt like stepping into a storybook. The way the entire park was dressed in soft, glowing lights, handmade decorations, and the comforting scent of mulled wine in the air made every moment feel special.
There’s a unique warmth about this place that isn’t just from the cocoa or winter drinks, but from the people, the laughter, and the little traditions scattered around every corner. Watching families gather, children’s faces light up at the sight of the reindeer, and the simple joy of wandering through beautifully decorated stalls reminded me how lovely the holiday season can be.
It’s not just about the decorations or the rides — it’s the feeling of togetherness, the calm, and the way time seems to slow down so you can really take in the small, meaningful moments. I left with a heart full of good memories and a deep appreciation for the charm and kindness of Danish traditions.
If you ever get the chance to visit, I promise it’s a place that will stay with you long after you’ve left.
The article is full of information , thanks for such a good knowledge.
This article is incredibly informative and well-structured. It offers clear, practical guidance on a topic many travelers often overlook—traveling with minors. The detailed breakdown of required documents and the emphasis on consent letters provide much-needed clarity for parents and guardians planning a trip. A must-read for anyone traveling with children!
Great article! I completely agree with your points.
Keep up the good work

Thank you for such praise, I am glad I could present the material in a way that made you want to see and experience St. Augustine’s Black history for yourself.
Of course, this beach town has lots more to offer but if you are willing to walk the lanes and dig a little bit, the history of the first Blacks and how much they contributed to protecting the colony is fascinating.
Hope you get there and enjoy your trip.
Your trip sounds absolutely incredible! Lisbon is truly a magical city, and your experience during the EuroCup must have made it even more special.

Great content for cruise lovers !! One of the most advantage of cruising is you do not have to pick your luggages every day , and every day you discover a new country. Although one day is not enough to see everything it gives an idea about a country ! With my experience since 2007, 99,9% of my guest said that Kusadasi/Turkey is their favorite port among all the other ports. Because we have a lot of options for every traveler. The most popular places , if your ship is docking at Kusadasi, is Ephesus ancient city which is only 25 min. drive away. Ephesus was the 4th largest ancient city of the world in 2 c AD.Most of the ruins are reconstructed and gives an idea about Roman’ glorious times. If you ever visit Ephesus, I suggest you to see Terrace Houses , where the rich were living and houses are decorated with beautiful mosaics and frescoes from 3rd c AD.If you want to add a spiritual break , thats House of Virgin Mary is there. It is believed that she was taken by St. John the apostle to there.Another place you must see Ephesus Museum.. Forget all that boring museums you have seen . While guiding , I explain the most interesting artifacts , including original staue of Artemis. BTW. did you know that one of seven wonders of ancient world was located there? Well… not so much left , but it is still worth to be seen. If you ever visit Kusadasi,and want to have private tour, please feel free to contact with me ! I am very happy to answer your questions and customize your trip to Ephesus. Please visit my website,not only for Ephesus trip but also to get an idea about my beloved country Turkey/Turkiye. You can see different types of tours that I organize. Archaeological , culinary or lets customize your tour to Turkey together!! luxurytoursofturkey.com/
