Around the World

Brazil’s Secret Beaches

Arraial do Cabo, just an hour from Búzios and close to Rio de Janeiro, is one of Brazil’s most breathtaking coastal destinations. This charming fishing village offers dazzling white beaches, vivid turquoise water, and a fascinating blend of cultural history

Visiting Lençóis Maranhenses

Lençóis, in Brazil, is a destination that captivates visitors with its striking dunes, crystal-clear lagoons, and rustic charm. The welcoming locals and stunning natural scenery create an unforgettable experience

The Well-known Copacabana

Copacabana, the very name itself provokes images of beauty, sand and ocean. The magnificent jungle-clad mountains rise from the ocean and seem to blend into the beautiful bend of Copacabana Beach, now a world renowned hotspot for tourists from around the world

Christ the Redeemer

Rio de Janeiro offers a kaleidoscopic array of raucous energy, colorful festivities, soaring landscapes, and welcoming hospitality. The dynamic city on Brazil’s southeastern coast is known for many things

Brazil’s Pristine Island Paradise

Fernando de Noronha is a stunning volcanic archipelago off Brazil’s northeastern coast, part of the state of Pernambuco. With 21 islands and islets, it offers an immersive nature-focused experience and is partly protected by the Fernando de Noronha Marine National Park

The Ultimate Irish Castle Bucket List

Visiting Ireland’s castles isn’t just about ticking landmarks off a list — it’s about stepping straight into the country’s story. Walk through centuries-old archways, feel the cool stone under your hands, and imagine the clang of swords or the soft chatter of medieval banquets. Each turret and tower carries echoes of lives once lived here. At Blarney Castle, you’ll do more than kiss the famous stone for the gift of the gab — you can wander through magical gardens filled with winding paths, hidden corners, and even a poison garden that would make any herbalist shiver with delight. Up north, Dunluce Castle perches dramatically on the edge of the Atlantic, its crumbling walls and haunting legends giving you goosebumps long before the sea spray reaches your face
