Warning! The island of Aruba is not your typical vacation! If you come here, be mentally prepared because it’s not your typical exotic destination of palm trees, waves, and cocktails on the beach… here, there is also a population on the move. And it is moving toward the future, with eco-friendly and inclusive policies that […]
North American lakes, as we know, are truly “inland seas”. They are so vast that from one shore you can’t see the other. They compete for record with other, much larger lakes, such as the Caspian Sea in Asia, Lake Baikal, and Lake Victoria in Africa. Yet the record we are talking about is […]
The heart of Portugal’s Algarve region is red. It stands out above a stretch of white rock and copper-colored sand, overlooking the Atlantic waves. It is Praia da Falèsia, a stretch of white cliffs culminating in red-hot peaks, which become a veritable blaze of beauty under the setting sun. A complicated path to navigate, and […]
Locri and its beaches have been awarded a “Blue Flag” this summer of 2026, and there’s no better reward for an area of Calabria with such a breathtaking beauty and long, troubled history, often associated with criminal activity.

Literally “sitting” between Portugal and the sea, Galicia shares only a few common characteristics with Spain. In fact, […]
Flanders is a region that Belgium shares with the neighbouring Netherlands. It occupies the north of the country and surrounds the autonomous region of the capital, Brussels. Belgium is not usually a popular tourist destination; in fact, it is (wrongly!) considered a “flat country,” meaning a boring place. But its northern part has an added […]
There is another Venice to discover. After admiring the “official” one, the famous and touristy one, full of people and pigeons and carnival masks, you might love to go “beyond” and explore its secret heart. This itinerary isn’t about chasing banal souvenirs or any selfie, but rather wants to give you different emotions. We will […]
The sea of the Sicilian town of San Vito lo Capo (district of Trapani) has the same colors and stunning seabeds as the Maldives.
