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!

Maldives Travel Agent Expert

The Maldives is an island nation made up of more than 1,200 individual islands in the Indian Ocean. Many of these islands are barely above sea level, making them among the most vulnerable to climate change and rising sea levels.  Over time, many Maldivians have  moved to nearby cities like the capital of Male to find work. Therefore, much of the country remains deserted and secluded. If you’re seeking peace and quiet, this is the place to go. The people are friendly, the beaches are gorgeous and it’s remote enough that you won’t see another tourist for miles around. As a Maldives travel agent specialist, I can promise you an idyllic island escape - one you won’t soon forget.  Plus, only a small number of travelers visit this entracing country every year. If you’re thinking about adding it to your bucket list soon, do so now when you can make the perfect getaway. Indeed, the Maldives is home to some of the most beautiful islands in the world. Its sparkling blue waters, white sandy beaches, lush green landscapes, and lagoons have also made it a honeymooners’ paradise.  Check out the amazing marine life The Maldives is home to a wide variety of aquatic life. Whether you are snorkeling or diving, you will spot some exotic marine creatures. You can find turtles, stingrays, various types of fish and even whales in the waters surrounding the islands.  If you are lucky, you might even get to see dolphins frolicking in the blue waters. There are also many coral reefs in the Maldives. You can visit the Mohamed Thuru Reef and Coral Park to see the underwater world. Some resorts also have their own private reefs where you can snorkel and scuba dive. Swim in crystal clear water The marine life is not the only thing that makes the water in the Maldives beautiful. The water here is also crystal clear. Instead of rivers and lakes, the islands in this country get their water supply from the rainwater and underground springs. Therefore, you can easily see its colorful fish without having to use snorkeling or scuba diving gear. What is exciting about Maldives is its plans to build Maldives Floating City to fight the rising sea levels. The city will be established in a lagoon, close to the capital of Male. Because the city will float on the water, it will accommodate the rises in sea levels because of climate change. It will be the first floating city in the world. View a glorious sunset Another thing that makes the Maldives a perfect tourist destination is the glorious sunset that you can watch every day. While a sunset can be beautiful almost anywhere in the world, a Maldives sunset  is worth traveling thousands of miles to see.  Breathe the fresh air and get your exercise The Maldives is an island country. Explore the islands on foot, swim in the waters, or rent a bike from your resort. You can also go for a walk or a jog on the beach.  Visit the island atolls Maldives is home to several atolls. Atolls are coral reef ring-shaped isles that surround a lagoon. Atolls are great places to visit to see the natural marine life and beach. For example, the Male Atoll is a diver’s paradise as well as a picturesque beach. The Kaafu Atoll has both charm and new-age ambience. Considered the heart and soul of Maldives, the atoll is home to spice markets and sites,such as the National Art Gallery. Visit the Ari Atoll and you’ll have the pleasure of meeting a variety of wildlife, including colorful fish, turtles, and sharks, including spectacular flora. In this atoll, the main isle, Rashdoo, features a beautiful Buddhist town. The atoll is also well-known for its mosque, the masterpiece architecture called Sultan-Al-Haj. UNESCO considers the Ass Atoll a World Biosphere Reserve. It has picture postcard views and its amazing Hanifaru Huraa is a lovely bay that is home to plankton. You’ll also see manta rays and sharks in the waters surrounding the atoll. If you like to snorkel, plan on the activity here. It’s a very engaging experience. When can we begin planning your trip to the Maldives? I can advise you on the best places to go and visit.
