Moldova Trips

Moldova is a friendly, sleepy place, steeped in far-flung rural villages and prolific farmlands. Famed for its verdant steppes, forests and lakes, it is home to 178 nature reserves including five of special scientific interest. Hiking, kayaking, sailing, horse-riding, caving and even paragliding are all possible in Moldova.
Bound by the Carpathian Mountains in the west and the Dniester River in the east, land-locked Moldova is bordered by the much larger nations of Romania and Ukraine. Its landscape is punctuated with endless waterfalls, rivers and hot and cold water springs, and many of them have been channelled into luxury spa resorts and therapeutic retreats and are great places to unwind after a long day walking in the hills.
Its lakes are home to egrets, swans, storks and other aquatic birdlife, whilst an extensive network of canyons, grottos and caves include one subterranean passage that extends for 80 kilometres. Unsurprisingly, Moldova is becoming a favourite among adventurers and outdoor enthusiasts.

Solomon Islands To the east of the island of Guinea are the Solomon Islands, a group of more than one thousand islands. About eighty of them hold most of the population of more than a half a million. The island of  Guadalcanal  was the site of some of the fiercest fighting in World War II between Japan and the United States. Honiara, the capital city, is on Guadalcanal. The Solomon Islands were a colony of Great Britain but gained independence in 1978. Colonialism, World War II, and ethnic conflict on the islands created serious centrifugal cultural forces, divisions, and political tensions over the past few decades. In 2003, military and police troops from other islands and Australia intervened to restore order after ethnic tension erupted into civil unrest. Shifting tectonic plates are the source of environmental problems. Active seismic activity has created earthquakes and tsunami conditions that have brought devastation to the region. An earthquake of 8.1 magnitud...

Tristan Da Cunha

History Before Doomsday Tristan da Cunha was annexed to the UK in 1816, mainly to prevent any Bonapartists from using it to mount a rescue mission to free Napoleon from Saint Helena. Gradually a colony took shape there. It was not until World War II that Britain organised Tristan da Cunha's government, designating it a dependency of St. Helena. Between 1961 and 1963, the entire population was resettled in Calshot, near Southampton, England, following a volcanic eruption. When they returned home, they left behind a small Tristanian community. Doomsday Tristan da Cunha did not have any military bases, so it was not a target during World War III. Like the rest of The British overseas territories, it lost communication with London. For a while, however, it was able to maintain contact with St. Helena and the Falkland Islands. News of the Doomsday attacks was received with horror. The island's society may have looked the picture of rugged self-reliance, but all the adult...

13 REASONS TO GO TO SCOTLAND

Scotland is a paradise for those who want to test their strength. A seemingly innocuous hill can easily turn out to be an impregnable summit, a summer walk to become an Arctic expedition, and crossing a tiny river turn into an unexpected rafting. But stunningly beautiful views, traces of ancient history at every turn, and a sexy Scottish accent redeem everything. 1. Sunbathe on the most secluded beach in Europe . "Azure Sea", "white sand" and other Caribbean-Maldivian stamps are difficult to apply to Scotland. Unless, of course, we are not talking about the beaches of Harris Island. To get to them is not easy - by plane from Glasgow or Inverness or by ferry to Stornoway, and then another hour and a half by car along serpentines and landscapes resembling the moon. But then your only neighbors will be wild ponies and dolphins. 2. Spend the night in a lunatic asylum The Scots are famous for their eccentricity and lightweight "gravest" humor - n...
