Where to go in Europe? Travel Dupes beyond the usual trails

It's time to immerse yourself in some other European cities, from the green capital to the solar city.

Yes, traditional cities are worth it; mass tourism doesn't take away their charm. If you're about to return to the Old Continent, consider experiencing something new: the freedom to explore.

🌍 Cities you should explore

  • Ljubljana, Slovenia.

  • Ghent, Belgium.

  • Kotor, Montenegro.

📝 How to decide? (consider)

  • Language barriers.

  • Seasonal weather.

  • Budget.

Research each destination's sustainability initiatives if environmental impact matters to you. Embrace lesser-known cities on your second visit—they often provide deeper cultural understanding and more memorable interactions than racing between famous landmarks in overcrowded capitals.

Where to See Northern Lights? USA ULTIMATE Guide

The colors you see depend on which atmospheric gases are being excited and at what altitude the collisions occur.

2025 is one of the best years—in over 10 years—to see the Northern Lights. NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) confirmed that the sun reached its solar maximum phase in 2024—the peak of its 11-year activity cycle—and this heightened activity is projected to continue until March 2026.

🌎 Where to see Northern Lights?

  • Montana.

  • North Dakota.

  • Maine

  • Washington.

📅 When to see them?

  • The best time is from late September through late March.

  • In Alaska and northern Canada, winter darkness arrives early and lingers late.

  • In the Lower 48 states, October through February.

  • The peak viewing window typically occurs between 10 PM and 2 AM local time. Maximum activity occurs between 12 AM and 1 AM.

The absolute best place globally to see the northern lights is within the aurora oval itself, which circles the Arctic region at approximately 66-69 degrees north latitude.

Welcome to the White Desert Wonder: Salar de Uyuni, Bolivia

Imagine walking on clouds: soft and white. The best part? It has a mirror effect—during the rainy season—that transforms you not only into the sky, but also into a seemingly altered reality. Welcome to the Salar de Uyuni, Bolivia.

Stretching across 10,582 square kilometers (4,086 square miles) of the Bolivian Altiplano, Salar de Uyuni stands as the world's largest salt flat and one of South America's most extraordinary natural phenomena.

📷 Permitted Activities

  • Photography tours.

  • Island visits.

  • Wildlife watching.

  • Stargazing.

  • Train Cemetery exploration.

  • Cultural experiences.

  • Driving without a permit.

  • Removing salt or minerals to take home as souvenirs.

Best Time to Visit

  • Rainy Season (December-April): Peak time for the famous mirror effect when a thin layer of water transforms the salt flat into the world's largest natural mirror. While January-March offers the most reliable reflections. However, some areas may be inaccessible due to flooding.

  • Dry Season (May-November): The salt crust forms stunning hexagonal patterns stretching to the horizon. Clearer access to all areas, including Incahuasi Island (Fish Island) with its giant cacti. June-August brings freezing nighttime temperatures (as low as -20°C/-4°F) but crystal-clear skies.
