Ideas for Trips in October: 9 Irresistible Proposals

Holiday ideas for the fall? We propose 9 tourist destinations for a trip in October. There are for all tastes and budgets. We are in September, start to organize it. 9 ideas to travel in October (even in September) If you have a rest for your August vacation, start planning getaways for the next few months. These are our proposals, for all tastes, ages and budgets.

1. Cyprus, if you want to extend the feeling of summer For those who want a sunny holiday in October, it turns out that nowhere else in the Mediterranean does summer heat last longer than in Cyprus. While October is the wettest and most uncertain month in Mallorca, Cyprus still has nine hours of sunshine per day, with maximum temperatures of 28ºC and the sea, after a long hot summer, is like a hot bath. It is true that much of the coastal development has not developed very subtly, but the western end of the island and, especially, the Akamas peninsula and the inland towns, are still untapped.
2. The beauty of the Lake District (England) The area of the Lake District in England: Cumbria, in addition to being the most spectacular beauty county in England, is also the wettest. The solution is to go at a time of the year when we do not have great expectations about the weather. If it rains, go for a drive and then dry off before the fire in the afternoon. If it is sunny, we can see the moors with its most resplendent aspect; the dying ferns turn orange, the rowan trees are bright red and the leaves in the valley forests are changing. Here you have very useful information to plan an amazing stay in the Lake District in England.
3. Munich: Oktoberfest: The Beer Festival Munich is often underestimated as an urban destination (the Alte Pinakothek, for example, has one of the best art collections in Europe), and for this reason it is sometimes mentioned only for its world-renowned beer festival held every year between end of September and beginning of October. The festival has already been more than 200 years old, focusing on a dozen beer shops erected in the P ar Theresienwiese, near the center of the city. The influx of people is important so you should plan the day and book a site well in advance. See also: Ideas on what to do at the beer festival in Munich. 2018 has become a monumental year for cultural and sexuality and gender acceptance. Not only women have come forth with allegations of sexual assault, but genders are no longer limited to only male and female. Even Hollywood is beginning to show signs of change when it comes to the ethnicities or sexuality of leading roles; Netflix’s To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before and Marvel’s Black Panther are good examples of that. However, whether it be as long ago as the Victorian era or as recent as today, many still attempt to change their identity for fear of discrimination due to physical traits. This is observed through several works of literature and art. More specifically, the works of Kate Chopin, Maya Angelou, and Andrew Wyeth all share a similar theme: one may adopt public identities due to the critical and discriminatory world that surrounds them.

The first struggle with identity due to discrimination is observed in Kate Chopin’s short story, “The Story of an Hour”. In the short story, the main character, Mrs. Mallard, lives in a male-favored society where women don’t have much control over their lives. Mrs. Mallard’s husband recently died and she processes this news in her bedroom. “She wept at once, with sudden, wild abandonment, in her sister's arms. When the storm of grief had spent itself she went away to her room alone. She would have no one follow her,” Chopin wrote. Chopin first depicts Mrs. Mallard as a grieving widow who is terribly upset. However, Chopin went on to write: “She could see in the open square before her house the tops of trees that were all aquiver with the new spring life. There were patches of blue sky showing here and there through the clouds that had met and piled one above the other in the west facing her window. ” This is quite a contrast to what Chopin wrote earlier; using the literary element of visual imagery, Chopin now describes the scenery to be lush, bright, and beautiful. Those three adjectives are typically associated with light and life- happy things. Death, however, is not something that is “ aquiver with new spring life. ” In literacy, movies, and art, death is typically viewed as dark, wretched, and somber. Chopin’s use of juxtaposition shows the first change in Mrs. Mallard’s view of her husband’s death. Mrs. Mallard even begins to question her love in her husband. “And yet she had loved him — sometimes. Often she had not. What did it matter!” Not only is Mrs. Mallard beginning to shed her mask as a loving, dependent, submissive woman, but she is also beginning to show the identity beneath it all: a free woman who exists for herself and herself alone. “‘Free! Body and soul free!’ she kept whispering. ” As Mrs. Mallard sits in her room, Chopin uses visual imagery to hint at the fact that she’s beginning to suffer from a heart attack. One can infer that for Mrs. Mallard, her death will free her from the boundaries, constraints, and expectations of her society. In the last paragraph of “The Story of an Hour”, Chopin wrote: “When the doctors came they said she had died of heart disease — of the joy that kills. ” This shows how Mrs. Mallard’s death was her freedom, for she can no longer be suppressed.

Mrs. Mallard was freed from the chains of marriage; the woman in Maya Angelou’s poem, “The Mask”, however, still feels the constraints of racism that forces her to don her “mask”. Angelou’s use of juxtaposition, metaphors, and onomatopoeia can help the reader realize that the woman in her poem lives in a turbulent, racist world. Stanzas 1-9 are from Paul Laurence Dunbar, speaking of a person who hides their pain away from the world by donning a fake, satisfied mask. Angelou then begins to write her own words: “We smile but oh my God Our tears to thee from tortured souls arise And we sing Oh Baby doll, now we sing.The clay is vile beneath our feet. But let the world think otherwise We wear the mask. ” Angelou uses juxtaposition; at first, she speaks of a hell-like world but then mentions singing. Singing is often viewed as light-hearted and wholesome, not a way to express agony. However, it seems like the woman in the poem sings to show the world that they’re “fine”, hiding behind a mask in order to protect themselves from society’s harsh critic. Angelou went on to write on stanzas 33-37: “They grow the fruit but eat the rind. Hmm huh! I laugh uhuh huh huh. Until I start to cry when I think about myself And my folks and children. ” Growing the fruit but eating the rind is a metaphor for laboring but suffering from it. Perhaps Angelou is mentioning the slavery past of African Americans; they labored and bled endlessly for the South and yet they do not have a better world. They may have been emancipated, but are still discriminated against. I believe that Angelou is using onomatopoeia to show how much the woman is trying to disguise her pain by laughing. However, the woman begins to cry when she thinks about the world around her and how this era may not be any better than it was for African Americans many years ago. Angelou wrote a metaphor on stanzas 42-45 saying: “My fathers sit on benched gnarled like broken candles, All waxed and burned profound. They say, but sugar, it was our submission that made your world go round. ” Candles are often used to light up rooms, but as soon as they’re unappealing or used, they’re discarded. Perhaps the woman’s “fathers” (elders, perhaps,) have seen the cruelty of the world and learned to yield to anyone to make it easier for the future generation.

“The Story of an Hour” and “The Mask” focus on the issues of gender and race through the use of literary elements; however, “Christina’s World” by Andrew Wyeth is a painting that gives a powerful message of a struggle with identity due to physical discrimination. It features a girl sitting in the peaceful scenery of what one can assume is the countryside. Upon closer inspection though, we realize that this painting may not be as peaceful as it appears, for one can begin to realize that the girl’s right arm seems slightly distorted. This raises questions to the surface: what is “wrong” with her? Why is she alone in the field? With background knowledge, I know that “Christina’s World” was painted during 1948- the height of a polio outbreak. Perhaps the girl has been disowned due to her ailment, that could explain why her left hand is hesitantly reaching towards the house as if she’s yearning to return. Wyeth used an element of art, space, to show how far the girl is from the house- it could be a metaphor for how the inhabitants of that house have pushed her away. Other elements of art Wyeth used are contrast and line; the field that the girl sits in is darker than the fields by the house. That could represent how the girl is in a darker time due to the discrimination she suffers because of her physical disability. As for the use of line, Wyeth cleverly uses tractor lines and a fence to show the boundaries between the girl and the house. All of these elements of design tie into the message that this girl is trying to find who she is amidst this dark time. Others have discriminated against her physical disabilities, so she is trying to salvage her true self since no one has control over her.

We are so used to an accepting and politically correct world that we often forget how life was before. African Americans must still wear a “mask” to stay alive; while there may not be segregation, there is police brutality that terrorizes them daily. They must wear their mask because it “ kept my race alive. ” (61) Not only is there racism amidst the world, but there is still sexism and racism. Every day, women are being catcalled are harassed; every day the disabled are mocked for something they can not change. Authors and artists never create without a purpose; even in our young adult fiction, there is always a message. History teaches us to learn from our mistakes, and literature does too. We must learn to heed other’s words; listen, learn, and let our world become a better, more just place.

1. Venice, the romantic journey of always Unalterably beautiful and romantic. The wonderful thing about the famous paintings about the Venice of Canaletto is that what he painted has hardly changed since then. So if we want to see the real place, Venice usually still enjoys a mild climate in October, with some fog in the morning. See What to visit in Venice. Venice does not need marketing, it is the romantic city and autumn is also the most romantic season, so it should only be noted that in case you already know a great alternative is Florence, or Tuscany and its people in general.
2. Jordan: bathing in the Dead Sea, camping in the desert of Wadi Rum, visiting Petra. . . Although the war in Syria, the neighboring country, can scare, the more adventurous can opt for Jordan. October is the ideal time to go, with a temperature in the north around 20ºC and a little higher in the Red Sea and in the desert near Wadi Rum. The most common stops on a week-long or 10-day minibus tour are the Roman ruins of Jerash, the splendid mosaic floors in Madaba, a bath in the Dead Sea, camping in the desert in Wadi Rum (setting of Lawrence of Arabia ), a visit to Petra and a couple of days on the beach in Aqaba.
3. Mauritius Island, paradise at its best To enjoy a tropical sun in October, the weather on this island in the Indian Ocean is at its best in autumn. October is the driest, sunniest and least humid month, with temperatures around 27ºC. Paradise does not need more explanations.
4. National Parks in Spain (or in Europe or in the world) About six years ago I visited New Forest, England, in October: In New Forest, old beech trees and oaks (many between 200 and 300 years old) provide the most vivid reds and oranges, while the paler yellow leaves and acorn Evergreen and yew provide the contrast. In the early morning, it is the best time to enjoy the spectacle of nature. You can also visit any of the wonderful natural parks in Spain where the Autumn is already felt in the trees and nature. From the Picos de Europa, the Pyrenees, to Cazorla or Doñana, all have the autumnal charm in greater or lesser intensity. And if you love, go to any of the best natural parks in the world. None will disappoint you.
5. Parma, Italy: autumn, opera and Verdi And we continue with the romantic. Verdi, it's a good reason to visit Parma in October. For early risers in September, it is usually preceded by a Parma Ham Festival, which is an opportunity to sample samples from hundreds of producers. But the biggest autumnal event, near the city of northern Italy, is the Verdi Festival, which is held during the month of October, with opera performances in Parma and surroundings.
6. New York, Halloween dress And as without realizing October is over, we must take advantage of it and enjoy the most special Halloweeen. For those who want to live a Halloween experience like the one that comes out in American movies. Throughout the USA on Halloween the streets of most towns and cities are filled with parades and attendees come to the party dressed in extravagant costumes. But there is no bigger party than New York, where the parade has evolved from the puppet shows that were in the seventies. The result is a spectacular progression of monstrous figures marching down Sixth Avenue, from Spring Street to 21st Street. Nearly two million New Yorkers take to the streets - most in disguise.
