There is only 3 km between the isle of Sicily and the mainland Italy but Sicily is nowhere near to the rest of the country. There are no well-maintained tourist attractions, no pristine streets here. Instead there is an exquisite cuisine, scorching sun, lively and chaotic street markets and people distinctly more relaxed than in any other part of Italy. There is something a bit raw, at times murky but so real and seductively beautiful that the only option you are given to is to succumb to its charms.

Of all of the walls built so far in the human history this is probably the Greatest. It is said that Great Wall of China can be even visible from the space. Do not read the next sentence. It might completely shatter your illusion and perception of the world. The Great Wall of China is NOT visible from the space.

Fresh grilled fish, a bottle of frosty San Miguel, the juicy sweetness of mangoes and pineapples, stunning gold beaches, virgin islands, limestone cliffs and happy to go lucky Filipinos. There is an island here (precisely 7641 islands to choose between) that suits everyone’s taste and there is something here everyone would love.

Chamonix is one of the most alluring places for mountaineers, skiers, snowboarders in the world. The dramatic mountains entice more and more to ride the steep faces, or simply get to the top and feel the liberating void. It is simply a winter wonderland but even outside of the snowy season you will find here plenty of activities/sights that can fill your itinerary with excitment and awe.

“Sláinte” . If you have not heard this expression before it means that your best night out is probably yet to come. Sláinte is used as a toast before drinking in Ireland and translates literally into “To good health”. But how is to come to the real home of the Pint?

Even though a bride does not wear a white dress and there is “no kissing”, the traditional Indian wedding is insanely beautiful. It is a blend of wide array of vibrant colours, divine food, ceremonies, rituals and lively Bollywood style dances. In Indian culture, the wedding is not just “one big day” but a series of ceremonies and rituals occurring before and after the bride and groom exchange vows.

This place is so captivating in a way you probably have not seen before. You are now at the Nature’s playground. Most beaches are white or golden in colour but not beaches in Iceland. The darkness of the sand perfectly contrasts with the white foam of the waves and the blue ocean. You can feel here almost mystical energy.

Many come to Sardinia to bask in the warmth of the Mediterranean sun, splash about in the deep turquoise waters and leave the island adorned with natural rouges and browns. Even Italians immodestly admit that the snow-white beaches in Sardinia are of the most gorgeous and some kind of special.

It is a place like this where you feel the aristocratic old days romance. It is in the Lombardy’s seductively beautiful lake district where miles of cobalt-blue waters are meeting snow-capped Alps, hills of conifers, cutest villages you can imagine, lined with elegant 19th century neoclassical villas and glorious gardens. It is a good place to take a break and absorb in the heaven-sent beauty of nature, tear up the itinerary, savour the lakeside cappuccino or aperitivo and simply unwind.
