Pattaya, Thailand
Pattaya represents a collection of cultures, both Eastern and Western. A unique place where Thais and foreigners from all parts of the world live together. It would be a mistake to judge the place for its appearance and an even greater mistake judging the Thai people after a brief holiday in the city of Pattaya. Pattaya is fascinating and stimulating from every point of view. It is a very popular tourist destination even among nature lovers, beautiful landscapes, white beaches and crystal clear sea.

Yorkshire, UK
A surprising corner of England, so it could be called the Yorkshire region. A territory home to romantic moors, historic attractions, lively cities and large coasts overlooking the North Sea.
Such is its beauty that Yorkshire is also called God's own country. Here there are spaces of great landscape value, where to find relaxation and inspiration, peace and poetry. The countryside is full of remains of ancient abbeys, sometimes in ruins but full of the charm of their tormented history. The cities of this beautiful region are considered among the most attractive in the whole of the United Kingdom.
Among these are Leeds and above all York.

Doha
Doha, the capital and most populated city of Qatar, truly deserves a visit. For its beautiful skyline, for its fascinating souk and for much more.
Doha is located right on the central east coast of the Qatar peninsula, of which it is the capital, about 500 kilometers from Abu Dhabi and Dubai, the most famous and tourist cities of the Arab Emirates. With its one million inhabitants, to which are added the hinterland, it receives about 60 percent of the population of the entire state.
Still unknown to most, there are few tourists, in fact, who choose it as a travel destination, even if the whole area has really a lot to offer.

Stuttgart
Stuttgart is a real hidden gem, and this German city is now becoming increasingly popular with visitors from all over Europe.
There’s a lot to see in this vibrant, cosmopolitan city. Stuttgart is famously the headquarters of both Porsche and Mercedes-Benz. Car enthusiasts can visit the massive Mercedes-Benz plant at Sindelfingen. Or try the Mercedes-Benz Museum at Mercedestrasse, or the Porsche Museum at Porscheplatz 1. Those who like life to be a little slower may enjoy walking in the city parks. Locals call them ‘das grune u’ as they form a U shape in the centre of the city, and it’s a popular walk starting at Schlossgarten, through Rosenstein park where you can take in the Natural History Museum, to Killesberg Park, passing the rear entrance to the zoo on the way.
