This city has medieval towns with narrow streets and romantic to get lost like a dream and many Orthodox and Lutheran churches that blend into the scene with its many parks make it a green city, literally.

The title for the target eco is deserved by their efforts to reduce greenhouse emissions, which are greatly aided by the abundant forests and marshes that are born naturally in the area . To this we must add that Latvia is the European country with less carbon emissions and Riga is one of the cleanest cities in the continent.

No one's mind would think that today a photo taken with a mobile is of lower quality than those of a traditional camera, so much so that newspapers and magazines do not notice and even publish them professionals and dedicated sections on their websites.

A clearly , the phenomenon is driven by the quality of the cameras continues to improve at a pace so fast it amazes. The iPhone, for example, has 8-megapixel quality (the Canono 10D-to name-had a 6.3). The ease of sharing photos is something unthinkable just taken years ago. Really, what we had said five years ago instantly send a picture via email? Fewer still would have thought of uploading it to a social network that may then or knew that exist. Now, even we do not need no "download" the images to the computer to show them to friends. How cool is that?

That's leaving aside the videos, which is also possible with many smartphones (and Snapseed Photoshop Express at the top) and without going into the convenience of having a high resolution camera fits in a pocket. Throw in the number of ways that one can manipulate the photos on the same phone. The business is round telephoto.

Through Independent Traveller bring them five of the best mobile apps that let you share your photos easily and efficiently. The list is very focused on the iPhones and abides by the filters that come with the application and are free.

is super simple to use. Shoot it and send it via email to Twitpic.

The most popular app, easy to use and most sought after because it allows sharing between the contacts app. Also you can give different effects to images (some are free and other payments), and share photos fast and easy in different ways that it seems almost absurd because you have to leave the almost ever.
Using this app as the camera is good because you can choose the filter "normal" to take a traditional photo and then use the filter if you like and you are both archived versions. You can also use apps working interface with the main program of Instagram and especially with the sharing features. Inside there is also an app that lets you meet other users in real life (a good thing if you're a traveler on the road).

This app has a retro hipster, or so they say, because as soon as you open the screen looks like if you look through the cameras first showed only a small portion of what we approached ( known to many as instamatic). The display Hipstamatic only shows a portion of the image, as mentioned, but not always the same but will randomly looking for something to focus on, you have to set the "Frame Accurate" in the settings app. This is a detail but the other way is not very "friendly"

An application for taking and editing photos very solid and reliable. One of the best ways to turn your phone into a compact digital camera. Camera + has a zoom decent, the ability to adjust white balance (Auto, Flash, Cloudy, Shade, Fluorescent, etc..), A new option of clarity to bring out detail , Rotation and 18 types of Marcos.

also has special effects. Displays a button "Information" offers ISO settings, a map to mark where the photo was taken and many really good features. Allows sharing of mail, Facebook, Flickr and others. Conclusion: It is an excellent choice for travelers.

is very similar to Lightroom, a high quality program for editing on the computer. At some point you'll see like Camera + but soon you will notice that in terms of processing power is much better. Perhaps for this reason is preferred by those accustomed to working with software like Photoshop and Lightroom.
As soon as you take the photograph, Luminance takes you to your phone's camera and then the app in a second. From there it gives you variety of effects add to the image, crop it and the memento-key-style sliders to fix Lightroom to adjust the white balance, adjust White Balance, and Hue Opacity, Brightness and Contrast, Highlight / Light / Dark / shadows, and even play with saturation. A clock-shaped icon allows the exchange rid convince you otherwise.
But for all the good settings, Luminance is not so good to share in the networks (Facebook, Twitter via Lumipics, e-mail).

It was once chosen by the British newspaper The Guardian as the second most beautiful bookstore in the world (after the Dutch Selexyz Dominicanen Boekhandel in Maastricht).

The official name is Shambles , period, and that is not ma an ancient street in York . It could be like anyone but the facades of their wooden buildings , many of them who are there since the fourteenth century , not merely restore these blocks in a corner lost in time and so magical that-not you-but I could live well there.

In distant times (back in 1872) The Shambles was butcher area: there were 25 throughout its long and narrow path. If you pay attention, you'll find a sanctuary between buildings dedicated to Saint Margaret Clitherow, who was married to a butcher. The sanctuary was done in the same place where the couple lived and where they had the store.

The past links to the carnage is visible even when you come to see the clips stores where they hang cuts of meat hanging from the walls but they now work in bookstores, souvenir houses, a bakery and many dining rooms.

Do not go confusing The Shambles in York with the many other streets with the same name that exist in England and even in Ireland. This is because the term Shambles , which has fallen into disuse, used to describe areas of abattoirs as that used to work in this part of town.

Today is street of England where nothing changed is visited by tourists because beyond unfortunate activity that was practiced a century ago, the beauty of paving stones and the style of your home becomes a The Shambles on a journey back in time that nobody wants to miss.

The head has a lot to do with the exchange rate and level of development of each country. To illustrate what you pay for a coffee in a bar in Buenos Aires, you pay for a hotel night (although nothing fancy) somewhere in Nepal or in a beach paradise of Indonesia. With what you pay for a meal at a Vietnamese restaurant in Barcelona, ​​you pay for 20 meals from street vendors in Vietnam (which do not appear in the Michelin guide, of course, but not necessarily have to be wrong).

Select the country you are traveling can become with the same budget, or a tourist coveted for its ease (pocket) or a bankrupt in a few days . We can choose a la carte to go and determine how we travel. Feel rich by the time it takes for vacation, or feel the edge of poverty if we are wrong calculations. Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam , are countries that come to mind and that even surprised by the cheap: you can eat 1 or $ 2 a plate more than acceptable, and stay for $ 10 less on a room also acceptable individually or in a little more room maybe in Europe we would come to mind. We travel throughout Europe at affordable prices ever expect to find in countries like Bulgaria or Romania. In contrast, in Asia, the surprise may come from the expensive side of Singapore , but nothing that should scare us.

to enter accurate data, a benchmark (and well known) is Big Mac index , prepared from a scientific research trimmed by selling burger benchmark Big Mac, they say, serves to determine whether a country's currency is overvalued or not. And from there, to draw our own conclusions.

The writer Tim Leffel , is a popular media publisher dedicated to the world of travel, often considered an expert and has written a book just about the cheapest destinations in the world . Leffel says that it is very likely to think that a trip to a remote country can get out very expensive, we are probably wrong. See world can be "cheap" , rent a bungalow on the beach for 10 dollars a night, dining at restaurants for one or two dollars, to pay entrance fees to museums for 25 cents a day's rent car and driver for $ 30.

There are places where our money (but small) can yield a fortune . Where? In Asia , take note of Thailand, Indonesia, Laos, Vietnam, India and Nepal . In Africa and Middle East , Morocco, Egypt and Jordan . In Europe , Turkey, Bulgaria, Hungary and Romania . In America Guatemala, Nicaragua, Honduras, Bolivia, Peru and Ecuador (the Southern Cone and Brazil, do not end as currently).

If we talk about cheap haven for backpackers, Southeast Asia takes the prize and the formula seems simple: supply and demand is diversified is also abundant. However, contrary to what one may think, in South American countries is not the same: the supply is scarce, and demand pull prices bounded upward in some countries. Asia is indeed a paradise for students and youth in developed countries who take a year off to travel with a minimal budget. As cities in particular, some of the cheapest are Chiang Mai , Thailand , Kathmandu , Nepal , Hanoi , Vietnam and Bangkok Thailand .

After all, according to place, seeing the world is not just for the rich, and maybe depending on the destination you choose, the most expensive, we will be the ticket. The rest may be willing to make some sacrifices, pure juggling and responsible consumption. And nobody, but nobody can take away from the walk.

blog has everything you expect from a log of globetrotting ( Tips Advice - -excellent Tips for traveling in Argentina , Photos and many good stories of route) with a bonus that makes this couple traveling differently.

is not just being thrown about the world based on couchsurfing, hitchhiking and magic . But when I say magic is not a euphemism, is literal: Dino is a great magician (and now venturing into the globoflexología) and based on its shows manage to have an engine to continue traveling. Sometimes what they get financed "the cap" of their shows and get other accommodations in exchange for their presentations. The good thing is that magic is a universal language that transcends language barriers, generational, etc..

What is also different for Aldana and Dino travel is "a way of life and a form of freedom" but what makes them stand out is its search beyond to see new places, your intention to return some of that wisdom to know other realities is achieved by practicing and learning tolerance of difference as another valid way of inhabiting the world.

Your Education Project suggests that, to "listen and learn from the realities that touch our peers live in this little piece of the world that is South America." To do this, visit schools and share their experiences through photographs and stories of travel, "we present other cultures and customs in order to shoot down biases and bury incorporated cassettes that we have too."

This commitment to "spread" their experiences beyond this blog leads us to give around the world make Magic on the Road is a complete standard of the true traveler. So do not forget to try how to walk with a galley globetrotting and barite in hand.
