2017 and 2018 are the celebration years for the entire Baltic region. Our neighbours - Lithuania, Estonia and Finland - are also celebrating their centenaries of statehood. Finland celebrates its centenary on December 6, 2017, followed by Lithuania's 100th anniversary of restored independence on February 16, 2018, and the centenary of Estonia's statehood on February 24, 2018.
Three hours of flight - and my plane, having made a spectacular semi-circle above the Azure Coast (Cote d'Azur), lands in Nice. And here I am - already in a taxi, looking at the turquoise water and palm trees along the seaside boardwalks during my half-hour trip to the gorgeous Cape Antibes, one of the most expensive and luxurious places throughout the French Riviera which attracts the rich and famous from all over the world.
During our last visit to London, we were invited to a very special and traditional afternoon tea. The event took place in one of the best districts in London – the award-winning English Tea Room in Brown’s Hotel in Mayfair. This setting is, without any doubt, the perfect place to feel the real London spirit and energy.
Many tourists come to London every year and enjoy the vibrant capital city, but less than half of them explore other parts of foggy Albion. That’s not right! Great Britain is a fabulous place to travel around. There are so many things to do and see, you just can’t miss it. Here is my list of favourite castles, from elegant England to mysterious Scotland – and believe me, I’ve visited a lot of them!
Despite the dreariness of London’s weather, the English capital continues to be a sought after destination for those that have a finer taste for life and love to be spoiled by the unique culinary experiences and world class selection of boutiques. But what truly romances visitors are the myriad of luxury hotels sprawling across the boroughs, which make you feel like royalty via their stellar customer service and sophisticated amenities.
One of the most popular tourist destinations in the world – Bangkok – is famous for its year round, al fresco, rooftop bars. The tropical climate allows visitors to admire the sunset on the horizon of this vast South East Asian city and feel the energy and vibe of this exotic megapolis.
I’ve been travelling ever since a was a child but my first large trip was at the age of 13 when I was sent to live for a couple months to London. This trip has changed me and ever since I just want to see more and more of our beautiful world. Every trip gives me new emotions, charge and strength to keep going further.
