In war we often see only the frontline stories of soldiers and combat. AT TEDGlobal 2010, Zainab Salbi tells powerful “backline” stories of women who keep everyday life going during conflicts, and calls for women to have a place at the negotiating table once fighting is over.

Travel Smart And With Any Budget; Plan That Dream Trip While Watching Travel Channel

Have you ever found yourself watching a movie, and you’re not paying much attention to the actual events going on with the show, but you’re wishing you were at the location the movie was filmed at? You’re imaging that it is you running through the white sand beaches with azure blue water and the white waves crashing up against the rocks. Or maybe it’s you skiing down the mountains in the fresh powder snow instead of one of the famous movie stars. Yes we can definitely imagine.

We all have our moments when we’re wishing we’re somewhere on a tropical island sipping drinks with little umbrellas in them. Or if you’re the sporty type, you’re wishing you were out in the mountains venturing out on a new trek you’ve never been on before and climbing a rock face that is a new challenge. So where can you see different destinations that you can dream about and motivate yourself to save your money to take that trip? A great place to start would be the Travel Channel.

The Travel Channel will show you the greatest theme parks to go to, hotels that have great prices, different places that have the best food, and so many other things for the traveler. This channel will give you advice on some great cruises to take on any budget. Even if you don’t plan on taking a trip any time soon, it’s still very entertaining to watch.

Surprise your family with a fun trip you’ve secretly planned for the past few months, and impress them with your knowledge of where you’re going and the many different activities there are to do while you’re at your destination.

Even better, spoil yourself and stop imagining that you’re in that little hut in Tahiti that is literally in the water. You wake up in the morning and can take a nice dip in some warm, beautiful clear water. Plan this trip for some desperately needed rest and relaxation.

With an AT&T bundle, that includes DIRECTV you can watch all of this great information and advice on the Travel Channel. Make that dream trip more than just a dream.
