This past February, my family and I visited Santana Park (Parque Temático da Madeira) on Madeira Island. With its stunning landscapes, rich cultural history, and engaging activities, it was the perfect destination for all of us – especially for our three-year-old daughter, who absolutely loved it.

Hiking is not just an enjoyable outdoor activity; it's one of the healthiest forms of exercise you can engage in. In today’s increasingly sedentary world, our bodies crave movement, and hiking offers a full-body workout while immersing us in nature.

Madeira is a lush Portuguese archipelago situated off the northwest coast of Africa, renowned not only for its stunning landscapes but also for its rich culinary traditions.

Madeira is a stunning island in the Atlantic Ocean that captivates visitors with its diverse landscapes and charm. In February, we traveled around this island with our family and fell in love with it.

Our family's first visit to Madeira in February was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived, we were enchanted by the island's stunning landscapes and vibrant atmosphere. Funchal, the capital and largest city of Madeira, quickly became the highlight of our trip and the perfect place to stay longer.

My husband, our little daughter (3 years old at the time), and I recently spent two incredible weeks exploring the stunning island of Madeira, Portugal. It was our first time visiting, and we knew very little about the island apart from its reputation for breathtaking landscapes and being a paradise for hiking enthusiasts. As we soon discovered, Madeira is indeed all that and more.

For those who have fallen in love with Cyprus, as our family has, finding the perfect time to visit this Mediterranean gem is key to experiencing its beauty to the fullest.

Since we live in Europe and love the sea, the Mediterranean is where we spend most of our time during our travels. We eat a lot of local food while we’re there—a lot!

Continuing our journey through Tenerife, we stumbled upon a hidden gem in the capital – Palmetum in Santa Cruz de Tenerife. What an amazing discovery!

Our family has a deep affection for Tenerife; we've been visiting for several consecutive years, discovering something new each time. One of our favorite spots is Punta de Teno, offering a unique and enriching experience amidst the island's beauty.

In October, our family embarked on a journey to explore the less-traveled roads of Northern Cyprus, setting our sights on the enchanting city of Kyrenia, known locally as Girne.

Many wonder if visiting Cyprus in November is worth the effort, questioning if there would be much to see or do. Our answer is a resounding "yes."

In the waning days of August, we decided on Croatia as the ideal destination for our family vacation. For this self-organized trip, we meticulously planned a week-long stay in the quaint town of Makarska.

As August reached its sweltering climax, with temperatures hitting 37 degrees Celsius, our family opted for an ambitious one-day excursion from the coastal town of Makarska to the much-acclaimed Dubrovnik.

We traveled to Los Gigantes and were captivated by its beaches and the opportunity to observe dolphins and whales in the ocean.

When we planned our family trip to Lloret de Mar for March, we didn't expect the skies to be so temperamental. The Spanish coastal town, renowned for its sun-kissed beaches and vibrant nightlife, presented a rather unusual version of itself during our visit - it rained every single day.

Our three-day journey to Barcelona in the spring was both a delightful revisit to a city we adore and an opportunity to discover new experiences. This trip was filled with exploration, flavors, and enjoyment of the Catalan culture. Below, We’ll walk you through our days in Barcelona, highlighting the various experiences.

Our trip to Warsaw, the capital of Poland, started with a relaxing walk through the atmospheric old town, brimming with picturesque architecture. We found our way to Fabryka Norblina, a vibrant cultural center featuring art galleries, entertainment spots, and delicious food stalls. Here, we tasted Khinkali, a delicious Georgian dumpling, and savored the local draft beer - a unique treat with its crisp taste and rich history.

"Paisaje Protegido de la Rambla de Castro" located in Tenerife, the largest of Spain’s Canary Islands. This lush coastal region is renowned for its historical agricultural landscapes, unique flora and fauna, and captivating panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean.

Nestled amidst the rugged landscape of Tenerife, one of the most diverse and vibrant islands of the Canary archipelago, lies the enchanting village of Masca. An extraordinary amalgamation of natural splendor, traditional architecture, and intriguing history, this hidden gem exudes a charm that is as beguiling as it is captivating.

Teide National Park is one of the most famous places (if not the most famous) in Tenerife, but although we have visited the island several times, we only decided to go to the park for the first time in five years. It was a mistake not to do it sooner, and you'll soon understand why.
