- DE EEMHOF – NETHERLANDSIt is surprising how many people look to the Netherlands to enjoy a tropical Christmas — swimming, tanning, and water-sliding
- THE GOLDEN TRIANGLE- Thailand-Burma-LaosFurther out, the city stops, and the jungle gets thick with nature. The shops and restaurants are replaced by rainforests and rivers.
- ISLE OF MAN #TTOnce a year this little plateau is open to one of the most dangerous motorbike races in the world, the Isle of Man TT.
- ROVANIEMI – FINLAND #SNOWMOBILE # HUSKYIn the winter it is an icy amusement park, in the summer, camping and boat trips take over.

- MUNICH – GERMANYMunich’s Central Train Station, is huge. Built in 1849, it has had various extensions over the years, boasting over 40 lines. It is a station worth walking around and through, even if you don’t plan to go anywhere. Being such a large station there is an excellent choice…
- BUCHAREST – ROMANIAWe never got to visit the mountains or the Black Sea which is something that we heard is superior to Bucharest
