Can adventure be a transformative experience?

•••
“Human life gains the greatest part of its richness from --- any experience of stepping outside the taken-for granted reality of everyday life, any openness to the mystery that surrounds us on all sides.” Sociologist Peter L.

Contrary to popular belief, Cyprus’ tourism product is not designed only for 18-year old partying or for elderly couples’ long term retirement holidays.

For some people travel means relaxation and a break from normal life. Laying on the beach with a drink. Reading a book by the pool.

Preferably with hidden, private [...]

8 Reasons to Visit Linz and Upper Austria

•••
If you had asked me a year ago about my relationship with Austria’s third biggest city, Linz, I would have answered, without a doubt: “It’s complicated.” Being born in the neighboring Salzburg, famous for its Baroque architecture and sophisticated culture, I haven’t always held the best views about Linz, which in the past was mostly known for i[...]
