I've got a thing for sailing since my highschool days when I went on a sailing trip to Greece with my school. I just love it and I love "vintage" looking sails boat, especially those in wood... kind of like the one in the Disney's Peter Pan ;)
This one's not from Peter Pan, but is the one which starred alongside Daniel Craig in the latest James Bond. It's stunning, it really looks like the queen of the sea, not for anything it is called "Regina"!
Oh if only I had the cash... ;)

Around the World of Cultures

Today I want to take you guys a little bit around the world, right from where you are reading this right now ;) I am a passionate traveler  and if I could, I'd live out of a suitcase and just travel the world. Not only to see new places, but to discover new cultures and meet new people. I find it fascinating the variety of cultures there are in our world and it's a pity how little we truly know about them. So today I want to share with you just some photographs I found around the web which enclose this variety I'm talking about. So get comfortable and come a little bit around the world with me just for a few minutes...
