"Snorkeling", "snorkeling", snorkeling... for some, diving for the poor, for others, complete freedom below the sea level. The fact is that we don't need to shell out a lot of money for an underwater mask, snorkel and fins, we don't need courses and licenses for amateur splashing in the shallows, and we will be rewarded with plenty of pleasure while learning about life under the water surface. Most of us will be "snorkeling" in the Adriatic Sea this summer, but for the more adventurous (and financially supported) divers, we present some ideas for exploring the Mediterranean, Atlantic and Pacific oceans.

Although 'only' the second largest city in Italy, for connoisseurs of fashion, design and anyone for whom dolce vita (sweet life) is their personal mantra, Milan is the 'eternal city'. The fashion-obsessed city, under which the most famous names are signed, is seen elsewhere in Italy as a hectic anthill of businessmen who drink their morning coffee standing up and starving models who are the only ones who can wear the sinfully expensive creations of Italian fashion stars. Therefore, let's get to know Milan in a more relaxed way, while shopping, after which we will have enough money left over for the sweetest pleasure in the city - an aperitif.

A lot of time has passed since the days when people dressed in scary costumes chased away winter by creating shacks, but the desire to brighten up the gray winter days has not disappeared. On the contrary, the reason for rejoicing has spread all over the world, even to hot tropical places. The holiday season has become the fifth season, the time when we throw away our worries and forget about the boring everyday life. Whether the reason for the Bakus carnival was the harsh winter, the desire to hide one's identity or something else, it doesn't matter today, the important thing is that during the carnival there is paradise all over the world.

For many, skiing is a big financial burden and serious work, so most skiers want to spend their winter vacation in one of the famous, large, snow-supplied winter sports centers. The rest of us are different, we like to go to unknown places, the experiences of places and people are more important to us, but if the experience is spiced with a pinch of adventure, so much the better! If we hit the slopes of the next few ski resorts, we will definitely be the stars of this winter, maybe not because of the kilometers traveled, but definitely because of the stories we will bring home.

The three Baltic states, which only broke free from the shackles of the Soviet Union a little more than twenty years ago, are facing a similar problem to the countries of the former Yugoslavia. There is always speculation as to where exactly they are located, in the Baltic or the Balkans, what the main cities are, what language they speak and what their currency is. In the desire to make the largest of the three main cities more recognizable, the Latvian capital Riga is especially proud this year to share the title of European Capital of Culture with the Swedish city of Umeå.

Neighboring Croatia is increasingly being written on the map of world tourist attractions. Travelers know it mainly from Dubrovnik and the Dalmatian islands, and due to its proximity and similar history, we Slovenians are "attached" to our southern neighbor much more than the average tourist from a cruise ship who gets to know Croatia in a few days (some only in a few hours). We especially love Istria, the Kvarner Bay and North Dalmatia, so we present you some pearls that are beautiful even on autumn days.
