For many of us, there’s something magical about being up in the heights, surrounded by nature’s grandeur. Here’s a rundown of the best mountain destinations around the world.

The Swiss Alps, Switzerland

The Swiss Alps practically go without mention. Whether you’re looking to ski the world-class slopes of Zermatt or hike the iconic trails around the Matterhorn, Switzerland has something to offer. And in the summer, the valleys bloom with wildflowers worth a visit. 

Banff National Park, Canada

Located in the heart of the Canadian Rockies, Banff National Park features some of the most awe-inspiring scenery North America has to offer. You’ll find turquoise glacial lakes, vast wildlife, and craggy peaks. Banff is a year-round haven for outdoor enthusiasts. Activities range from hiking and mountain biking in the summer to skiing and snowboarding in the winter. 

Patagonia, Argentina and Chile

Patagonia isn’t just a clothing brand! It’s also a beautiful mountainous region straddling Argentina and Chile. Its landscapes include towering mountain ranges, icy glaciers, and windswept steppes.

]]> Are you dreaming of a getaway to the picturesque lavender fields of Southern France? There’s something utterly magical about the sight and scent of lavender as far as the eye can see. To catch this natural wonder in full bloom, it’s all about perfect timing. Here’s a quick guide to help you out. 

Late June

Starting in late June, the lavender begins to bloom, and the fields start to show their purple hues. This is a great time to visit if you want to avoid the larger crowds that July attracts. The weather is generally warm and pleasant, and the early blooms are fresh and bright.

July

July is the prime month for lavender viewing. The fields are in full bloom, creating a spectacular backdrop for photographs and leisurely walks. Visiting in mid-July offers the chance to see the lavender at its peak. Additionally, many festivals and events centered around lavender, such as the famous Lavender Festival in Valensole, take place during this month.

August

By early August, the lavender harvest begins, but you can still catch the late blooms. This is the tail end of the season, so visiting during this time can be a gamble. However, it’s still possible to find fields in bloom, especially those harvested later.

]]> A perhaps under-visited country in the Balkans of Europe, Serbia offers travelers an enticing blend of history, culture, and natural beauty. From vibrant cities to serene countryside, here are three reasons to make Serbia your next travel destination.

Rich Cultural Heritage

Serbia boasts a rich cultural heritage shaped by centuries of diverse influences. Explore the medieval monasteries of Studenica and Sopocani, marvel at the Ottoman architecture of Novi Pazar, or wander through the charming streets of Belgrade, the dynamic capital city. Don’t miss the opportunity to experience traditional Serbian cuisine, renowned for its hearty flavors and distinctive specialties like cevapi (grilled minced meat) and ajvar (a savory pepper-based condiment). Throughout the country, you’ll encounter warm hospitality and a deep appreciation for tradition.

Stunning Natural Landscapes

Serbia’s landscapes offer a paradise for nature enthusiasts and outdoor adventurers alike. Discover the rugged beauty of the Tara National Park, home to the dramatic Drina River Gorge and dense forests teeming with wildlife. Hike through the picturesque Fruska Gora National Park, dotted with ancient monasteries and vineyards producing world-class wines. For a unique experience, visit the surreal landscapes of the Djavolja Varos (Devil’s Town), characterized by peculiar rock formations sculpted by centuries of erosion.

Fascinating History and Heritage

Delve into Serbia’s fascinating history, and find yourself at the medieval fortress of Kalemegdan overlooking the confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers, witness remnants of the Roman Empire at Felix Romuliana, or pay homage to the victims of war at the poignant memorial sites of Srebrenica and Jasenovac.

]]> Scotland is an amazing country, with something to offer everyone. If you’re heading there this spring or summer, don’t miss these stunning seaside towns. From pretty coastal villages to seafront cities, each of these destinations has something unique to offer. The best thing about Scotland is that it is relatively small in size, so if you have your own transport you could even check out all three in one trip.

Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire, Scotland

While not technically a town, Aberdeen is right on the North Sea. This means you can expect plenty of bracing wind and the odd squall of rain, but when the sun is shining you can explore the city’s winding backstreets, its imposing Victorian buildings, and its pretty waterfront areas. Make sure you try some of the locally caught fish while you’re in Aberdeen, as it’s some of the freshest around.

Crail, Fife, Scotland

This charming village is located in the heart of the East Neuk of Fife, a traditional fishing area now known for its pretty villages and coastal paths. Take a wander around the harbor, sample some of the best fish and chips in the UK, and go for a wander along the world-famous coastal path.

Helensburgh, Argyll and Bute, Scotland

This charming town is less than an hour away from Glasgow, but it has so much peace and tranquility that its proximity to the city is hard to believe. Enjoy a relaxing ramble along the water, check out the many independent shops, and explore the moorland that rises up from behind the town.

]]> A perhaps under-visited country in the Balkans of Europe, Serbia offers travelers an enticing blend of history, culture, and natural beauty. From vibrant cities to serene countryside, here are three reasons to make Serbia your next travel destination.

Rich Cultural Heritage

Serbia boasts a rich cultural heritage shaped by centuries of diverse influences.

Throughout the country, you’ll encounter warm hospitality and a deep appreciation for tradition.

Stunning Natural Landscapes

Serbia’s landscapes offer a paradise for nature enthusiasts and outdoor adventurers alike. Discover the rugged beauty of the Tara National Park, home to the dramatic Drina River Gorge and dense forests teeming with wildlife. Hike through the picturesque Fruska Gora National Park, dotted with ancient monasteries and vineyards producing world-class wines. For a unique experience, visit the surreal landscapes of the Djavolja Varos (Devil’s Town), characterized by peculiar rock formations sculpted by centuries of erosion.

Fascinating History and Heritage

Delve into Serbia’s fascinating history, and find yourself at the medieval fortress of Kalemegdan overlooking the confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers, witness remnants of the Roman Empire at Felix Romuliana, or pay homage to the victims of war at the poignant memorial sites of Srebrenica and Jasenovac.

]]> Scotland is an amazing country, with something to offer everyone. If you’re heading there this spring or summer, don’t miss these stunning seaside towns. From pretty coastal villages to seafront cities, each of these destinations has something unique to offer. The best thing about Scotland is that it is relatively small in size, so if you have your own transport you could even check out all three in one trip.

Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire, Scotland

While not technically a town, Aberdeen is right on the North Sea. This means you can expect plenty of bracing wind and the odd squall of rain, but when the sun is shining you can explore the city’s winding backstreets, its imposing Victorian buildings, and its pretty waterfront areas. Make sure you try some of the locally caught fish while you’re in Aberdeen, as it’s some of the freshest around.

Crail, Fife, Scotland

This charming village is located in the heart of the East Neuk of Fife, a traditional fishing area now known for its pretty villages and coastal paths. Take a wander around the harbor, sample some of the best fish and chips in the UK, and go for a wander along the world-famous coastal path.

Helensburgh, Argyll and Bute, Scotland

This charming town is less than an hour away from Glasgow, but it has so much peace and tranquility that its proximity to the city is hard to believe. Enjoy a relaxing ramble along the water, check out the many independent shops, and explore the moorland that rises up from behind the town.
