Danila fell in love with Italy on his very first visit to this gorgeous European country. His vacation in the Italian Riviera, a region between south of France and Tuscany known for its panoramic scenery, blue water beaches & idyllic villages, has been an absolute delight. A great place to start is the lovely village of Portofino, a symbol of luxury lifestyle and a center of élite tourism. This beach town has elegant restaurants & bars and exclusive boutiques that are as classy as they come. Its neighbouring villages of Santa Margherita Ligure and San Fruttuoso are equally charming with exquisite beach resorts & a premium styled living. The Liguria area has been producing wine since Roman times and there are many wineries that one can visit to savour fine taste of these Italian wines prepared from over 100 varieties of grapes. Hiring a sail boat or a yatch to explore the Riviera from the waters is another favorite and was an exhilarating experience for Danila.

The glamour of Las Vegas and its prolific lifestyle had a lasting impression on Danila. He has frequented the city many times and simply loves the energy of the desert city in Nevada, USA. Known for its fine dining, casinos, entertainment & an exuberant nightlife, Las Vegas attracts millions of local and global tourists offering a wide range of options for all budgets. While she had a phenomenal time playing at the Casinos, the highlight of her trip was a day trip to the Grand Canyon, a stunning landscape with extensive fossils and archeological significance and the most visited National park in the US. The views of the Canyon from Yavapai Observation Centre are out of the World, literally. Hoover Dam and the ancient Joshua Tree Forest are also worth stopping by on your way back from the Grand Canyon. If you can afford it, it is worth taking a helicopter tour of the Grand Canyon for views that seem like another Planet.

Gold Coast, one of the most popular tourism hotspots in Australia, is another popular name on Danila's travel list. Known for its long sandy beaches, incredible nightlife, surfing hotspots and theme parks; Gold Coast is an ultimate vacation destination down under. Go for a whale watching cruise for an experience like none other, with active commentary by the crew members of the vessel on marine life in the region.

The place is also a Surfer's paradise. Nature enthusiasts can explore the hinterlands of Gold coast with a visit to the UNESCO World Heritage rainforests of the Springbrook National Park with attractions such as the Natural Arch, Rainbow Falls, and Tweed Shield Volcano.

Quebec is the french speaking province in Canada and is culturally & architecturally close to Europe. The most beautiful province in Canada, in Danila's opinion, is best known for its multi-cultural metropolis of Montreal. A cruise on the St. Lawrence river gives you a glimpse of the glorious french history of this place as it passes through the Jacques-Cartier Bridge, the islands of Boucherville and the scenic shoreline of Montreal. Montreal has an active arts and music scene, an incredible array of restaurants and bars and a nightlife taht is second to none. The capital city of Quebec, known as the Quebec city, is totally worth a visit too. A UNESCO World Heritage site, Quebec city is a historical masterpiece popular for its cobblestone walkways and well-preserved 17th-century architecture. The Montmorency falls nearby are extremely grand, 30 meters higher than the Niagara falls and an amazing spectacle of nature.

Turkey is highly popular with Russian travelers, and Danila is no exception. A truly unique country with its culture and lifestyle overlapping between Europe and Asia, Turkey has a dynamic tourism industry that attracts people from all over. Danila loved the monuments of Istanbul and was particularly mesmerized by the iconic Blue Mosque, an ottoman era imperial mosque that attracts worshippers and tourists alike for its majestic architecture and impressive history. Other significant landmarks worth visiting are Dolmabahçe Palace, the Ortaköy Mosque and the Rumeli Fortress. One of her fond memories is taking this relaxing sunset cruise on a a luxury yatch down the Bosphorus waterway, which provides a panoramic view of the city as well as the natural landscape on a serene yatch ride as you glide along munching on delicious Turkish cuisine and drinks and listening to soft Turkish music.
