What to See in Astana - Ultra Modern, Shocking Capital Of Kazakhstan

What to See in Astana - Ultra Modern, Shocking Capital Of Kazakhstan

Astana is one of the controversial "brand new" capitals built on an enormous scale - similar to Ashgabat in Turkmenistan or Baku in Azerbaijan. Kazakhstan's capital defies all the presumptions and stereotypes a person from the West might have - especially those set in place after the famous comedy film "Borat" (as a matter of fact, "Borat" was not even filmed in Kazakhstan). Astana couldn't be more different from what you probably imagine Kazakhstan to be like. You won't find carts pulled by cows along muddy streets nor any wooden shacks that are deteriorating and falling apart. Walking through the large main boulevard, you might think you're in one of Dubai's luxurious neighborhoods rather than in some country in the middle of nowhere that no one is interested about.

How to Showcase Your Fashion Sense While Travelling

Seasoned travelers know that comfort is everything, especially when traveling. But what if you were fashion-conscious but also love to travel? You don’t have to give up one or the other when you can have both. You can, in fact, actually still look stylish and comfortable while traveling.

How Expensive is Zurich, Switzerland? What to See in One of the Most Popular Swiss Cities

How Expensive is Zurich, Switzerland? What to See in One of the Most Popular Swiss Cities

Zurich was the first place that we visited in Switzerland - one of the most popular destinations in the country. It's quite small and charming, it has a unique atmosphere more of a town rather than a city. As it happened many times before, although Zurich was very nice, it was my least favorite destination in the country. Just like with Ljubljana in Slovenia or Bucharest in Romania. If you want to see the real Swiss paradise, you must go out of the popular cities such as Zurich or Geneva.

The Best Trail in Argentinian Patagonia - El Chalten to Fitz Roy

The Best Trail in Argentinian Patagonia - El Chalten to Fitz Roy

The trail from El Chalten to the unique, rugged mountain Fitz Roy is one of the best in the Los Glacieres National Park - the part of Argentinian Patagonia (of which the amazing Perito Moreno Glacier is the main attraction - I’ll write about it soon). Fitz Roy is probably the most distinctive summit in the country - it consists of extremely sharp, triangular-shaped, pointy peaks that can be seen from afar along the beautiful hike. The town of El Chalten is a perfect base for hiking and the treks around are not only quite easy and affordable, but also are an amazing warm-up before doing the more difficult and exhausting W-Trek in Chile's Torres del Paine National Park.
