Europe´s most spacious accommodations

2013-12-03 by Corina Manea

Accommodations when travelling, whether for business or pleasure, can often a big headache. From the room that is smaller than what we expected (after extensively reading about it on the Internet), to the restaurant that thinks a vegetarian menu is a novelty, being disappointed just seems to be part of travel. What if you could avoid some of these “misunderstandings” though?

Travel in Europe: Don’t Be Caught Dead Migrating

2013-05-06 by Phil Butler

Slamming the door on the Roma

Two news bits today concerning Germany’s disposition toward migrants and visitors draw further attention to key Schengen and visa discussion. A report via EurActiv speaks to one side of the German and EU PR aspect, the Roma people being the subject on the one hand.
