When a little while ago I joined my friends on a spontaneous short trip to the north of Spain, I didn’t know much about the Basque Country, except that people there wore cool hats. Right before landing, the first look out of the airplane window let me know that this part of Spain would be totally different from what I had expected. Beautiful green mountains, tiny …
“If you start digging a tunnel to the other side of the world, you’ll end up in China.” Logic right? The earth is round, and that was where characters on TV normally ended up when they started digging. The whole idea has some minor flaws, in addition to being technically impossible how could China be the other side of the world for both Americans and Europeans? Apparently I’m not the only …
Norway and I have a somewhat difficult past. About a year or 2 ago I had a flight booked to Oslo at 8am but coming home drunk at 5am I never made it to the airport in time. Then, a year later, I was given the opportunity to visit on three different occasions within a matter of just a couple of months but never managed to squeeze it into my …
Italians are known for their fabulous shoes, French women for their elegance, and who can forget about the fantastic royal wedding dress of English princess Kate earlier this year? Different countries as well as time periods are associated with different styles and fashions. I can spend way too much time looking at my favorite streetstyle blogs from around the world or admiring the costumes of the actors in old movies, …

Do you want to know what is Number 1 …
New Year’s Eve – that one night of the year that people plan months in advance just to be sure that it is going to be the best night of their year. In most cases, those expectations can hardly live up to reality and more than a few people will end up disappointed with their night. But don’t fret – Travelettes are here to help and give you some …
Ready yourselves for Christmas folly, fa la la la la, la la la la!
‘Tis the season to get drunk and jolly, fa la la la la, la la la la!
Don we now our Santa apparel, fa la la la la, la la la la!
Drinking ale by the barrel, fa la la la la, la la la la!
See the blurry street before us, fa la la la la, la la la …
Tweed Ride. Sounds quite enigmatic doesn’t it?
Well, it’s pretty much what it says on the tin: people dressed in tweed riding around on bikes. This group bicycle ride began in London where participants were to dress in traditional British cycling attire on vintage classic bicycles to embrace the spirit of the old days and the fashionable vintage era of transport!

Carefully I dive my right foot into the hot pool, checking the temperature. It is not too hot and so I dive in with my whole body. A light smell of brimstone hangs in the air and darkness surrounds me. The little waves caused by my body break against the stone wall and make a quiet swashing sound.
