While studying Portuguese in Rio de Janeiro, I thought it might be a good idea to take a trip to Belo Horizonte at the weekend – mostly because I wanted to see Inhotim, a botanic garden full of contemporary art.

This Way to the Whole Story ->Let me guide you further South to the laid-back city of Curitiba, from where you can venture out on a memorable day trip to scenic places like Morretes.
Let me guide you to Foz do Iguaçu, worldwide known for its spectacular waterfalls.
However, this city at the tripoint of Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay has actually more attractions to offer than you think.
This Way to the Whole Story ->While Gili Trawangan is rather for the party people, romantics’n’roamers find peace and quiet on the secluded islands Gili Meno and Air – but see for yourself which island is for you.
And if you can’t decide, don’t worry: They are so close and well-connected that you can visit all three even in just one day.
This Way to the Whole Story ->Powdery black lava beaches alongside rocky coasts, unique natural formations, and contrasting microclimates: La Gomera is the second smallest of the Canary Islands, but at least as diverse as all of her big sisters.

Now, add some amazing history, the proximity of some beautiful beaches, and major hubs like an international airport, a busy seaport, and a bus station from where you can get to all of Crete’s most captivating spots – and there you have it: Heraklion, your perfect base in the East of Crete.
Padang Bai is not only the harbor to the Gilis between Bali and Lombok, but it is also the closest gateway to some of Bali’s greatest treasures.
No, I’m by no means immune to pre-travel jitters and I sense danger looming ahead. Even after years and years of solo-travel, days before the departure, I’m a nervous wreck.
Did anything ever happen to me that would justify this hysteria? Of course not! It’s only the tricky phenomenon that danger seems to be so much closer from afar.
This Way to the Whole Story ->As the over-popular south coast of Tenerife is the most neglectable part of the island, I’ll show you in this guide which are the best things to do in one week in the island’s lush north. We’ll visit picturesque villages and lush fields, admire bewitched forests, enjoy black lava beaches and approach the mighty Mount Teide.
