If you are the one who loves travelling the world and scratching places to visit off your bucket list, then you must not forget about the beaches.

I loved Curacao. Your beautiful photos brought back so many wonderful memories.

Luxembourg City boasts a rich history dating back to Roman times, evident in its well-preserved medieval architecture and UNESCO-listed Old Town.

Terrific post on a terrific city! Brought back some nice memories.

A very interesting and historic place to visit. Visited twice. First time it was snowing so hard when my wife and I visited, that we had to use a rain umbrella to keep from becoming a snowman or snow woman. Photo from the second visit without the snow.
