1. Barcelona, ​​Spain
For me Barcelona is not missing on any bucket list. My absolute city of the heart also captivates in the summer by unique architecture, the best bars in Europe, Mediterranean vibes combined with big city flair and of course dream beaches in the immediate vicinity.

If you want to swim on a great beach, I recommend taking the train to Sant Pol de Mar, Sitges, Castelldefels or the Costa Brava. The city beach of Barcelona is also suitable for relaxing, but if you have more time, treat yourself to a day trip.

2. Sardinia, Italy
Alas, Sardinia. Some of the beaches in Sardinia are already rivaling the Caribbean. There are also small romantic villages and villages, the best gelato in the world and typical Italian cuisine.

I recommend renting a car and discovering the north of the Italian dream island through a road trip. Which places and beaches you can not miss, you will find out here.

3. Algarve, Portugal
High cliffs, surfing and crystal clear water at beautiful beaches. The Algarve has great road trip potential for me. There is so much to discover and that’s why in June 2018 I spent almost two weeks in southern Portugal with my sister, collecting insider tips for you. Maybe Portugal is already on your bucket list? Then go ahead!

4. Cyclades, Greece
The Greek Cyclades islands are perfect for island hopping. Santorini, Mykonos and Co. are easy to reach with regular ferry connections and invite you to chop, swim and dive. A diverse dream destination for your summer vacation.

5. Ibiza & Formentera, Spain
Since moving to Barcelona in 2012, I’ve been to Ibiza and Formentera a few times, thanks to its location and cheap flights. I discover something new every time. Ibiza is so much more than party and electronic music. There are many beautiful beaches and sweet little villages to explore.

The smallest Balearic island, Formentera, can be reached from Ibiza Town in less than 40 minutes by ferry and offers probably the most beautiful beaches in Europe. Rent a scooter and let’s go.

Mongolia is one of those countries that is completely foreign to most of Europe. An empire that was once a one of the most biggest, is now something of the old and has been forgotten in history.

However, in an effort to improve relations between Mongolia and Malta, there have been efforts between both countries to organize exchange programs, business relations and other efforts to improve the ties between Malta and Mongolia.

The agreements were signed by Foreign Minister George Velha and his colleague Lundeg Purevsuren.

In fact, diplomats and work officials from Mongolia now can travel without a visa to Malta, however, other negotiations and further improvements are still in the works.

Though politically it might take a longer time for official agreements, we at Daydream Gozo are parterning with travel agencies in Mongolia and providing citizens of Malta an unforgetable journey for those who are interested.

Have you always had a thrist for adventure and wanted to travel to a completely foreign place full of excitement and joy?

Well what you have been looking for is right here. Mongolia is one of the least densely populated countries in the world and many of them still retain their traditional lifestyle of nomadism and living in harmony with nature.

The second day, be prepared for a long journey to Khuvsgul, one of the most beautiful places in Mongolia. You will meet your host nomad family and they will give you an idea of what you guys will be doing during your stay.

Day 3-6: Live As A Nomad

This is where it gets fun. For these 4 days you will spend your time as a nomad learning how to live as a nomad, understanding the way of life and putting yourself in the shoes of Mongolian nomads and farmers.

You will have the opportunity to herd the flock of sheep and goats, ride horses, milk mares and cows, catch calves, sheering sheep, making Mongolian fur pillow, collecting animal dung to prepare the fire for the stove, chopping wood etc.

It is an advantage if you know how to cook or perhaps a chef, but you will learn how to make Mongolian foods and dishes regardless such as buuz, fermented milk, tarag/yoghurt, aaruul.
