    5 biggest online challenges for travelers

    October 6, 2019 /

    Every September 27th, travelers celebrate the international World Tourism Day. The tourism landscape has changed immensely since the first such celebration in 1980, with the internet becoming inevitable for travelers and travel agents.  According to the World Tourism Organization (UNTWO), in 2018, eighty-four percent of travelers booked their holiday through bundling sites like Expedia or Kayak instead of contacting hotels and airlines. This counts for 1.176 billion tourists. “The internet allows people around the world to plan their travels conveniently. However, it can also put them at various risks,” says Daniel Markuson, the digital privacy expert at NordVPN. Most tourists would agree that the internet is an essential part of…

    Experts Warn About Dangers of Sharing Vacation Photos on Social Media

    September 29, 2019 /

    According to cybersecurity experts, sharing too much information on social media while being away from home on holiday can make your property a perfect target for burglars. We’ve all been there, sipping an exotic drink by the pool miles away from our home and routine while taking dozens of pictures to capture the precious moment. As the saying goes ‘pics or it didn’t happen’,’ we’re quick to post them on Facebook or Instagram for our friends to see how great we’re doing. And, let’s be honest, to brag a little bit. However, not many holidaymakers are aware that this social activity can get them in real trouble. Uploading pictures from…

    According to the pro-democracy think tank Freedom House, internet freedom is declining all around the world. Censorship is being ramped up on everything from social media or e-commerce websites to search engines. Interestingly, many of the countries with the strictest rules and highest censorship are also popular tourist destinations. “With this in mind, it’s wise to check if your next travel destination has any internet restrictions. Especially if you are planning to do some work there,” says Daniel Markuson, digital privacy expert at NordVPN. “One of the most powerful tools to avoid such internet censorship is a virtual private network. Both travelers and locals use VPNs to access the internet…

    Contemporary Ballet Inspired By The Music Of Depeche Mode

    March 25, 2018 /

    “Another World” is a contemporary ballet performance, in which Depeche Mode’s world famous “Another World” tour meets the writing of Japan’s most famous novelist Haruki Murakami. This dynamic marriage of text and performance takes in both H. Murakami’s “Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World” and Depeche Mode’s brilliant flair for music and image. Laurel of the performance rightfully belong to the director and choreographer Marija Simona Šimulynaitė and all dancers of “Baltic Ballet Theater”. It is a young, ambitious and talented team, established in 2010, formed by young potential artists who studied abroad, yet have a desire to work and create in their native country.

    The Role Of Open Data In Choosing Neighborhood

    January 27, 2018 /

    To what extent is it important to get familiar with our environment? If we think about how the world surrounding us has changed throughout the years, it is not so unreasonable that, while walking to work, we might encounter some new little shops, restaurants, or gas stations we had never noticed before. Likewise, how many times did we wander about for hours just to find green spaces for a run? And the only one we noticed was even more polluted than other urban areas! Citizens are not always properly informed about the evolution of the places they live in. And that is why it would be crucial for people to…
