We would like you to become familiar with a couple of our latest additions as travel inspiration for your next trip or vacation. Koh Mak, Thailand This island is popular among tourists particularly for its beaches and the crystal clear water. Despite the growing number of Thailand travelers, Koh Mak still remains somewhat of a secret spot. Life there is pleasantly easy and quiet with little car traffic. Photo: Pigneguy Bridgetown, Barbados Bridgetown is the capital and the largest city of Barbados, which makes it to the central hub for the island and a great starting point to discover all that Barbados has to offer. The country mesmerizes with its natural beauty, especially the paradise beaches. It is the birthplace of the rum and the positive outlook on life of the Bajans is contagious. Dubai Dubai has grown into one of the most important cities in the Middle East. It is the home of the world’s tallest building, Burj Khalifa.

The pic is taken from above, at an angle, and it looks great because people can be recognised by their feet. Crazy-pic: It consists in taking a photograph without looking at the screen from above or below. It comes out how it comes out and one must not pay attention to the screen as some come out really cool. It´s almost like a picture taken by somebody else and that´s even cooler. Jump-pic: These pics are the hardest ones to get. You have to try so that nobody is blurred... read more
