Nicosia – the divided capital, Girl off the Trail
I’m in the suburbs of Nicosia, it’s 8.00 in the middle of the week. I chose the perfect time for a trip to the capital of Cyprus. Three-lane highway, traffic jam to the horizon. I won’t hide, I’m irritated, I wanted to come at dawn, to have more time for sightseeing, definitely the day is too short and the plan is quite tight. I’m covering the next meters at a dizzying speed of 5 km/h, at least it’s time to look around. There’s one thing that attracts my attention on the horizon, so more or less in the place where the globe curves and the damn cork ends, I see…

Hawaii – Big Island is getting bigger and bigger…
When I landed at the Kailua Kona airport, located in Hawaiian Big Island, I felt like being a part of Apollo mission. I was surprised that after only 40-minute flight I saw totally different reality. Sandy beaches from O’ahu Island were replaced by rocks and black sand. Lushy, verdant Hawaiian vegetation gave place to the apocalyptic, volcanic landscape which seemed to have no end. The culprit of this is Kilauea – one of the most active volcanoes on earth. At first sight it looks inconspicuously because on the contrary to other volcanoes it has a flat, wide cone and its eruption isn’t vertical. Kilauea’s eruption goes through two rift valleys.…

Corfu – top 10 beaches
1. Porto Timoni Porto Timoni is one of the most beautiful beaches in Corfu. Turquoise, clear water and white sand invite to visit this place. But nobody wants to go there… What’s the reason? The trip to this place is far from being pleasant. To get there, you need to look out for signs Porto Timoni Beach, at the end of the town – Afionas. After around 100 m, turn left.

Theoretically there’s another path which leads to Porto Timoni…
