Iceland

I know it sounds weird but Iceland is actually a very interesting country, with one of the most impressive landscapes in the world. It is the place where white glaciers and black sands, blue hot springs, rugged lava fields, and green valleys all meet. Here nature is ferocious: rom the still-warm lava from the 1973 Vestmannaeyjar (Westman Islands) and the 2000 Mt. Hekla volcanic eruptions to the chilling splendor of the Vatnajökull Glacier. Visit Iceland!

Yes, another ‘cold country’ and why not? Stockholm is a fascinating place where local craft, modern design and ancient architecture get together in a bustling metropolis. During summer people buzz around the street and spend time in what some say is Stockholm’s best attraction: its mixed, modern, self-assured, beautiful population.

Scotland

Scotish landscapes will take your breath away. “Edinburgh is a gloriously dignified city; Glasgow, a Victorian powerhouse. An excursion to St. Andrews is a pilgrimage for golf aficionados and numerous castles polka-dot the northeast. Its local products, customs, music, and traditional dress—from tartans and bagpipes to tweeds—travel all over the globe, but there’s nothing like experiencing them firsthand.” – Fodors

Switzerland

Switzerland is a paradox: rustic friendliness against high-tech urban efficiency, the harmony of the mountains (and Heidi!) against the digital screens tick off beef futures in Zurich. A heaven when it comes to private banking, Switzerland is famous for serious shopping, major music festivals, fabulous art collections, palace hotels, state-of-the-art spas, and some of the finest gastronomy in the world.

Istanbul, Turkey | Summer travelling around Europe

Turkey

The legacy of past generations cohexists with modernity in Turkey, where upscale eateries and swanky nightclubs are squeezed between Byzantine and Ottoman structures. The Aegean and Mediterranean coasts mix ancient Roman ruins with stunning beaches and resorts. Still, the real cultural lessons come from the Turkish people, always welcoming and eager to share their homeland’s fascinating past and present.
