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.

  • At the Hotel Giraffe you really get more than you expect in every way. First of all, the size of the rooms – they are huge in comparison to normal NYC standards.

  • The Baglioni Hotel is perfect for those who love and miss Italy. At the same time, it’s ideal for people who love five-star service. Medium-sized, with an opulent lobby, decadent interiors, cosy rooms with fireplaces and a smile on every staff member's face, it immediately makes you feel comfortable - almost like you're at home, Italian home.

  • 37th Bristol International Balloon Festival, the largest of its kind in Europe attracted about half a million visitors to the gorgeous grounds of Bristol’s Ashton Court. I was lucky enough to not just admire the colourful hot-air balloons taking off, but to get closer to them, get a masterclass from the famous pilots and even to ride in a balloon.

  • Urban and peaceful, chaotic and cozy, and unbelievably beautiful - this city won my heart, as did my number one in the world - Paris. I do envy the locals who can live in such beauty every day.

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.
