My most memorable experience was a recent trip to Sidi Bou Said, Tunisia. Having stayed a few nights in Sidi Bou Said, an endearing town on a promontory looking over the Mediterranean with beautiful blue-and-white houses and cobbled streets, we travelled to El Jem for the day on a 3.5 hour train. This was an interesting way of seeing more of Tunisia and its culture that day. The spectacular vast array of olive trees gave an insight to an integral part of Tunisia’s culture and history. Having arrived in El Jem, a town with so much history with such high importance in North Africa, I visited their famous amphitheatre dominating El Jem with camels being ridden along the street. Being the best preserved and largest amphitheatre in all of Africa, it was certainly impressive. There was an incredible special light inside and a brilliant city view. Walking out I passed The Great Mosque of Jem giving a clear depiction of the Islamic religion. I will never forget this day of such in depth learning of Tunisia’s rich culture.

For all Bellini lovers I highly recommend having a Bellini or two or three at Harry’s Bar in Venice. Invented by Giuseppe Cipriani in Harry’s Bar in 1948 this is the most famous and original place to drink a Bellini like no other!

Or, there is the most beautiful eastern European city, Prague. To see it at its very best  climb up the spiral, steep, long staircase at St. Vitus Cathedral. 287 steps later you will look out at an absolutely breathtaking panoramic view of Prague.
