We know what you’re thinking: how could there possibly be anywhere in freezing, rainy Britain that’s over 80 degrees Fahrenheit right now, and more unfathomably even, there are turquoise waters to swim in? You’re correct, that’s highly unlikely. Though the Cornish coast is a seriously-underrated beach destination, and the seas surrounding some islands off Scotland …
Following in the footsteps of Europe’s Schengen Area, which has recently announced that, starting from next year, Americans will have to apply for a paid travel permit before entering, the United Kingdom has also confirmed it will be bringing in its own entry fee.

Believe what you want about mainstream news’ portrayal of London’s dodginess nowadays, but I can attest it’s an incredible city to visit. It’s dual-filled with the exciting attractions you’ve seen on TV and some underrated regions that will leave you gobsmacked.

Previously ignored by sunseekers, Scandinavia, the Baltics and the British Isles are all rising as alternatives to the sun-scorched Mediterranean, …
With its slower pace of living, high levels of safety, and cultural wealth like no other, Europe seems to be the end goal of every digital nomad.

With the Olympics about to commence and around 15 million tourists expected to visit this summer only, drawn to a twinkling Eiffel Tower, the award-winning gastronomy, and high culture, you’d expect Paris to be the most visited city in the world right now.
