Universities in Scotland – Strathclyde University

Strathclyde university sells itself as a centre of 'useful learning'. This mission statement certainly resonates today, with graduates no longer guaranteed employment; this idea was made evident after speaking to a well informed staff member at a renowned Scottish highland hotel last month. It's a strong selling point for any university to market itself on providing skills employers are looking for.

They’ll Never Walk Alone – The Liverpool FC Story

A Trek to Scotland

Being an American citizen, and having spent the greater portion of my life in that particular country, you can imagine that I was more than a little excited to visit an actual castle. Sure, I have seen an abundance of photos and films of them, but there is nothing quite like coming face to face with such a unique part of history.

The Myth of the Monster

The history of the Loch Ness monster is intense. Whether you believe in the myth or not, it is inevitable that you have come across come literature on the subject. As for my position, I do not believe in old Nessy. To me, it is more than likely just one of those things that spiralled out of control through history. I do not claim to be an expert on the matter, nor do I care to try.

What To Do In Scotland

A Fascinating Person I Met

I was in Equador for my once a year well deserved holidays. It is a tropical country that has no season. It can be in the middle of the winter and the temperature would be the same as in the middle of the summer. The food was absolutely amazing, it was very beautiful, it had many colours and the taste was like an explosion of new tastes inside my mouth.

Luxurious Austria

First-class restaurants, international flagship stores, day-spa retreats and top-ski resorts. Austria is the perfect destination for bon vivant travellers that appreciate the pleasant, pretty and tasty things of life.

Visiting Scotland

        If you are thinking of planning a trip to Scotland, the first thing to remember is that you really want to be visiting in the summer as the winter is freezing and rainy. Because of this, most of the tourism industry and events that are most enjoyable occur between the months of May and September. You can still visit in the winter however – you could enjoy a spa break, some quality football matches or a hike across snowy mountains – but every activity that you could do in the winter you could still do in the summer and it would be far more enjoyable because of the weather. No one really likes the rain.

The Museums of Innsbruck

Where to Hide in Europe

With this topic I don’t want to make people think that I am talking about some kind of a refugees -related activity or something of that kind. In fact my primary idea is totally out of this topic and it is connected with traveling.

When the time to pick a destination is on demand, it seems to be difficult for most of us to go somewhere that you have never been before or simply to hide. The

Current Exhibitions at the Museum of London

The Museum of London is one of locations that every visitor to London should take some extra time to explore. In some ways it’s like many other museums, but the expansiveness and comprehensive nature of their collections is what sets this museum apart from the rest. It is so large that visitors are encouraged to set some time apart, more time than perhaps other attractions, so they can experience the depth and breadth of their cultural offerings.

People must choose wisely their option for vacation, because especially during the summer season the atmosphere in all of them became crazy and people cannot get their dream relaxation. Of course, this is not for everyone, but the primary idea of every vacation is to chill.

The best city picture

Why people should go on two different vacations in order to see sea and green environment ( mountains, parks, and etc. ). In this way they are spending double money and extra time, instead of making a proper research in order to see where they can meet both of this objectives. Of course, they are not many places which can gives you adorable sea views and amazing countrysides in one.

Life In Travel

Travelling is undoubtedly one of the most exciting and interesting things in this life. I cannot image spending my entire life staying at one place and missing all the wonders our planet offers. There are so many places and things that are worthy of being experienced that travelling twice a year is far from sufficiently. Unfortunately, flying is much less enjoyable than exploring. I have been on a numerous flights and still I find it difficult to enjoy flying with that extremely nervous first time fliers.

Founded in 1948, the museum is a home to the previous royal collection that provides a comprehensive insight of Romanian art from early middle ages to the present day.
 

Pros and Cons of Barcelona

The topic for “which is the best cities for living and entertainment” in Europe always put people on serious negotiations. I hardly think that there is a city that can satisfy all people tastes on 100%. Every place has a good and bad sides. I have decided to pick a place that offers to its habitants or international guests full life enjoyment and of course quality of life. I am talking about the city of Barcelona – the second biggest place in Spain. Every person knows that Barcelona is the crown in the Spanish tourism with many marvelous and first line beach resorts.

British tourism

When it comes to tourism, there is a tendency to believe that tourists prefer to choose countries, which are both exiting, worth to be seen and have low prices.  Following this tendency, there is one particular country which answers to both of the requirements mentioned above, United Kingdom.
