Poland becomes more and more popular with tourists and if you go to Warsaw, Krakow or Gdansk, you will be surprised by how many people speak English on the streets.

Zipolite is quite famous for its nudist beaches, but it’s so much more than that! It’s a very free place, where nobody cares about anything, people are barefoot and everyone knows each other.

Guatemala has 37 volcanos. Four of them are active and regularly erupting. But let’s not forget, that we are in Guatemala and it doesn’t mean that we can’t climb them. The most popular trek from Antigua is Volcan de Fuego. Actually, you will be climbing the volcano right next to it, Acatenango. The trip takes two days. You spend the night on the top of Acatenango, if you are lucky, you can watch Volcan de Fuego crashing lava during the night. This is truly a once in a lifetime experience!

The city was originally a Thracian settlement and subsequently was invaded by Persians, Greeks, Celts, Romans, Goths, Huns, Bulgars, Slavs, Russians, Crusaders, and Turks. Woah! That’s quite something! And the remains of those times are still present in the city.
