In Croatia, you can enjoy both untouched, expansive scenery from rolling hills to mighty mountains to the picture perfect villages, or you can dance until dawn and enjoy world class shopping and the finest array of cuisines in the capitol, Zagreb, a lively metropolis of more than three quarters of a million people. Or a yacht charter; Croatia has a vast coast line, too!

Croatia offers its visitors both a glimpse of Old Europe, with restored castles and ancient cities dotting its picturesque landscape, with all the charm and history of any of its European neighbors, as well all the comforts and amenities of the most up to date modern conveniences. You can have the best of both worlds, the Old and the Modern, in lovely Croatia.

And what better way to see a country that boasts so much beautiful coastline — hundreds and hundreds of miles of rugged cliffs and perfect beaches lining the Mediterranean sea — than by boat?

When you and your spouse arrange for a yacht charter Croatia spreads its beauty before you from the deep blue seas. There truly is no better way to explore this lovely land than by traveling up and down its coast and visiting both the continental mainland and also its many wonderful islands. With a yacht  charter Croatia becomes a country of both the land and the sea. Where else can you spend time in breathtaking mountains with views down to the Mediterranean sea below and then in hardly any time at all be sailing across the seas and looking back up at rugged mountains dotted with centuries old villages, churches and castles?

If you and your spouse want a relaxed honeymoon, there are beautiful beaches and resorts and the finest spas in Europe at your disposal. If you wish to start your marriage off with rugged outdoor activities, such as hiking and cycling in the summer and world class skiing in winter, you can do that too! And don’t forget about the sea — a yacht charter, Croatia’s coast line at sunset, and a bottle of local wine — perfection!

One way in which one can live in Prague and earn money, is through becoming a TEFL (teaching English as a foreign language) teacher. Anyone can become a TEFL teacher, as long as they can speak English and have completed a TEFL course. There are various TEFL job locations throughout the country, and many in Prague, the capital city. Castles and towers galore, Prague is a truly beautiful place and one of the most highly preserved medieval destinations in Europe. It’s a UNESCO world heritage site, but despite the rich historic influence there is a deeply modern and cosmopolitan feel, attracting tourists and travellers both young and old. There are plenty of other TEFL locations however, for example one popular area is Liberec – the once ‘Second city of Bohemia’ – which is nestled in the Jizera mountains.

Summer can be very hot, and winter can be very cold – you get the best of both worlds. For those who love winter pursuits, high levels of snowfalls in mountain areas means there is no shortage of outdoor activities such as skiing. Summer is perfect for hiking and exploring the many beautiful regions that the country has to offer. There are hundreds of famous sights to visit year-round, and plenty of potential tours and trips to keep you busy. As a TEFL teacher, there are varying contract durations with varying wage rates and various benefits. You could be teaching children in a public or private language school, or find a position teaching adults in a business or university context. Employers will support and guide you throughout the experience too, meaning you can really ease in to your position as an English teacher.

The Czech people are friendly and welcoming, and very eager to learn English, so as a TEFL teacher you will be greatly received. After becoming TEFL qualified you will have a valuable commodity that is in high demand across the globe – the ability to teach English. This allows you not only the opportunity to experience the world and its many cultures in the most cost-effective way, but to make a real difference to those you are teaching, providing them with a skill that they can carry with them in to future endeavours.

Kew Gardens, London by Herry Lawford

The magic of the gardens

Ok, so spring doesn’t always mean endless days of sunshine and there are no guarantees that you’ll stay dry when you’re out and about in London. But if you do want to enjoy the fresh air with the added security of an undercover bolt-hole then some of London’s finest gardens offer the best of both worlds, with spectacular landscaped gardens outside as well as excellent collections of plant and wildlife inside the greenhouses and conservatories. Kew Gardens are among the very best and rightly famed across the world. Spring is the perfect time to admire the millions of flowers spread out across 300 acres making the gardens a joy to behold, while there are also activities and play areas for children to enjoy and the renowned glasshouses offer year-round safety from the rain in a tropical atmosphere.

Picnic in the park

Parks are a big part of life for many Londoners with many beautiful examples preserving some much needed green space amongst the urban sprawl of the huge city. As soon as the sun comes out there are few better ways to spend the day then grabbing a blanket, a frisbee and some sandwiches and nabbing a spot in a nearby park. Hyde Park is one of the most famous and for added serenity you can always grab a rowing boat and head out onto the Serpentine Lake.

Head for the river

The River Thames is the heartbeat of London and offers some of the best ways to experiences days of relaxation in the fresh, spring air. A simple stroll along the banks of the Thames gives you the chance to see the many different sides to the city or if you want to take to the water then you can admire the sights from the top of a cruise boat or enjoy a cheeky glass of al fresco champagne in the sunshine while escaping the crowds yet sampling enviable views of tourist magnets such as the London Eye and the Houses of Parliament.

Lose yourself in the bluebells

Plenty of picturesque flowers spring up at this time of year but the bluebell delivers some of the most vivid displays of colour that really capture the magic of the season. Richmond Park boasts its own woodland garden which becomes a carpet of bluebells in late spring, while Wilderness Wood in Hadlow Down is another place transformed into a sea of blue during April and May.
