    Kaunas – sidekick of Lithuania and my favorite places to see and be

    August 21, 2023 /

    Kaunas may be Lithuania’s second city in terms of population, but many argue it is the ‘most Lithuanian’ city. Whatever that means. It is undoubtedly true that Kaunas is not as much an international city as the capital Vilnius and therefore has preserved something more purely Lithuanian. Let’s be honest, though. Kaunas is to Vilnius what Robin is to Batman. It’s BarnicleBoy to SpongeBob, Dannii to Kylie, Rocky to Bullwinkle, Weasley to Potter, and David Hasselhoff to a black car, some silicone balloons, or just about any inanimate object. It’s sidekick city. It’s less famous, grabs fewer headlines, has a lower makeup budget, isn’t as pretty, and always seems to…

    Nature holiday in Estonia that never fails to amaze: birds in their natural habitat [4]

    July 23, 2023 /

    Estonia is considered one of the world’s best bird-watching destinations due to its prime fly-way location. Millions of waterfowl nest in the Arctic and every spring pass through western Estonia. Hundreds of thousands of these birds take time for a short stopover on coastal marshes. Estonia’s species-rich grasslands compete in this regard with tropical areas. In Laelatu in western Estonia, for example, over 70 different plant species were discovered in one square meter, Europe’s second most abundant ground. A bird paradise Although Estonia is one of the smallest countries in Europe, abundant bird habitats and nesting grounds are found in forests, marshes, wetlands, lakes, rivers, meadows, fields, rocky beaches, islets,…

    The ultimate list: what to see and do in Kayseri

    July 19, 2023 /

    HUNAT HATUN MOSQUE is one of the most beautiful mosques in Kayseri. It is situated next to the Medrese and the tomb of the same name. It was built in 1237 in honor of Mahperi (Hunat) Hatun, the wife of Alaaddin Keykubat. Its plan is in the Basilica style of Anatolian Seljuks. The main gate is finely decorated. The minaret on the right was built recently. HUNAT HATUN TOMB is octagonal-shaped. Each side of the tomb is crossed by a double band, which is elegantly decorated with delicate geometrical designs. The interior is very simple. The Mihrab is of stone and is one of the rarest Seljuk Mihrabs. KURSUNLU MOSQUE…

    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…

    The Israel Museum and the Shrine of the Book store the Jewish past and pose riddles of symbolism

    December 14, 2018 /

    5000 sq m is a lot of space, but not enough for the Israel Museum to display all the artistic and cultural monuments of the Jewish people and the Holy Land. 8000 years of history is too much time. However, what the museum in western Jerusalem is truly remarkable for is symbolism, hidden in the sculpture garden and the architecture of the ethnography, archeology and contemporary and modern art wings. Because of the city’s complex topography, the first-time visitor starts thinking about the symbols in the Israel Museum only after passing by the Knesset. The parliament of the still young Israeli state and the complex containing its millennia-long past are…
