Besides the northern lights and fjords, Norway offers a delectable selection of mouth-watering foods - foods that you probably have not tried before. Because Norweigans love adventure, food is no exception. For example, every residential Norwegian forages, and you can do the same as well on your Norway holiday. That is why I often suggest that travelers visiting Norway go on a foraging tour in August or September. That is when the hedgerows are in full bloom and prized porcini mushrooms can be easily found.  However, never pick mushrooms without a guide to help. That is why a foraging tour is a must-do activity. You can also pick dew-sparkling amber berries, cloudberries, and lingonberries in places  such as Hardangervidda and Rondane. Also, Husmanskost is a hearty and inviting lunch you will love - open sandwiches that feature sourdough or rye bread, topped with charcuterie, veggies, or seafood. You can savor the cuisine in places, such as the Havariet Bistro in Oslofjord.  Classic dinner dishes include unique and succulent foods, such as elk meatballs and reindeer stew, also called finnbiff. Enjoy these evening staples in places, such as the Elgustua Guesthouse in East Norway. When you eat that type of delicious food, you will need to find ways to work off the calories, and Norway has plenty of activities in which you can take part. One of the popular activities of the country, naturally, is skiing.  The word, "ski," itself comes from the Old Norse language. Many Norweigans assert that they had skis on their feet when they were born. Therefore, if you want to ski, you will find Norway to be a skiers paradise. You can hit the powder in winter or ski down a glacier during the summer. An exciting adventure always waits in this cold yet warm Scandinavian country. I would like to serve as your travel agent planner for Norway, as I know you will love your trip, regardless of when you choose to travel. Give me a call so we can go over all the exciting details now!

Dubai Travel Agent Specialist

Luxurious shopping, ultramodern architecture, and a vibrant nightlife spark a lively interest in travelers who choose to visit Dubai. The city and emirate in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) is one spectacular travel destination - one that I love representing as a travel agent specialist.The tallest skyscraper in the world, the 830-meter (2,723-foot) Burj Khalifa tower dominates the Dubai skyline. The fountain, at the base of the building, displays jets and lights that are synchronized to music. Nearby, offshore, is The Palm, a marine-animal and water theme park, that makes a trip to Dubai  just that much more memorable.No traveler can visit Dubai without a seeing the Burj Khalifa and observing the surrounding view. The world's tallest structure, has been referred to as both a '”Vertical City” and “A Living Wonder.” When it comes to buildings, the Burj Khalifa is a stunning example of how art, engineering, and precise architectural detailing can come together in a spectacular way. Over 200 floors, the Burj Khalifa boasts 160 usable floors. Also, a number of world-firsts have been achieved from the tower's inception on January 4, 2010. For example, it took 1,325 days for the tower to become the world's tallest building - a feat that begun in January 2004. A record-breaking 330,000 cubic meters of concrete was used as well as 39,000 tons of steel reinforcement. The amazing structure contains 103,000 square meters of glass, and 15,500 square meters of embossed stainless steel. Construction of the skyscraper required 22 million hours of labor.The Dubai Fountain, as noted, features choreographed entertainment. Water shoots as high as 50 stories during performances. The fountain, designed by the creators of the Bellagio Fountains in Vegas, holds daily shows on the 30-acre Burj Khalifa Lake. You might also like to experience a unique dining adventure by opting for on-air dining. This unique dining experience takes place on an open-air platform about 165 feet high in the air. A chef, positioned in the center of the aerial platform, serves a three-course feast--starter, main course, and dessert--while diners take in the majestic surrounding view. I can make all the arrangements for this once-in-a-lifetime dining adventure and experience.Of course, you cannot visit Dubai without seeing the desert too. I can arrange your trip so you can ride a quad bike over the dunes, sandboard down the sandy inclines, or ride a camel just like a Bedouin.After working up an appetite, I can schedule dining and entertainment. While you feast on barbecue, you can watch belly dancing live or traditional tanoura  entertainment  (Egyptian dance shows) at a desert campsite.Activities take place in the Lahbab Desert, just outside of Dubai. The excursion can be arranged with convenient hotel pick-up and drop-off.So, what do you think? Are your ready to go exploring? Let’s talk by phone and plan an itinerary. Anytime is a good time to visit Dubai. Let’s get started today.
