TRAVELLIVE 02-2017
I often save the air tickets of every trip I have taken with my friends and family. Sometimes, when looking at each of them, I feel like all the emotion and memories are kept inside the small piece of paper. In my latest journey, my companions were the two little kids, Amy and Alex, travelling with their mother. It was amazing as I as was able to stay awake for hours during the flight, eagerly listening to the adventures of these little travelers. Among their stories, the one about globe impressed me the most. When they were asking their mom where they will go the next time, she just gave them the small globe, smiled, and let Amy point at one of the place on it. Amy and Alex were so excited, screaming with glee when their mom told them about the next place. The kids together made a plan to save money, and prepare for their next trip. From time to time, the family had traveled around the world with that globe. They showed me that no matter where we go, one should plan their voyage with love so as to make every trip into an exciting page of life’s book. The book of my life is marked with the air tickets I have collected over the years and the memories attached to each of them. It has been said that life is a journey, not a destination. The purpose then, is to travel to new places, experience and learn new things, relax after working days, or to find yourself, your passion and love. Have you got your next journey planned?

The tranquil Bolzano<br />
Nothing could be better than completing your day in the Dolomites by<br />
enjoying cuisine and wine in the tranquil capital Bolzano. Because of<br />
the local climate, cool weather and lots of rain and frost, grapevines<br />
in the Bolzano's vineyards are bended to make sure that clusters of<br />
grapes are covered by foliage, offering the highest quality of fruit. If you<br />
are familiar with well balanced wines from the Chianti region or tasty<br />
wines from Southern Italy, then Schiava, Lagrein and Gewürztraminer<br />
will bring you a new distinct impression.<br />
The lack of sunshine makes wine in Bolzano less fragrant with fruit<br />
flavors like that in other regions. Instead, wine is more sophisticated<br />
with different characteristics. For example, Schiava is gentle and<br />
youthful; Lagrein is fascinating, while Gewürztraminer is elegant.<br />
Bolzano food remains a product of influence from Austria and<br />
Germany. There are many bakeries selling German breads and apple<br />
cakes, as well as carts selling sausages along the streets. It's hard to<br />
find a Chinese restaurant or Kebab on the city which preserves many<br />
traditional values as Bolzano.<br />

Further information:<br />
Transportation:<br />
ñ The most suitable means of<br />
transportation to the Dolomites is by<br />
train. It takes only about 2 hours to<br />
travel by train between Bolzano and<br />
big cities such as Munich or Verona,<br />
Austria. Travelling by rain allows you to<br />
take it the beautiful landscapes through<br />
majestic mountains.<br />
Weather:<br />
ñ It's cold in the Dolomites because of<br />
the high mountainous terrain. Spring<br />
(February and March) is the last period<br />
when the mountains are covered with<br />
snow. Daytime temperatures are around<br />
7 - 10 o C, and about -2 - 2 o C at night.<br />
Therefore, you should bring with you<br />
warm outfits, and warm jackets, as well<br />
as waterproof hiking shoes if you want<br />
to participate in trekking or skiing.<br />
Languages:<br />
Although it's a popular tourist<br />
destination, Alto Adige is the area with<br />
the smallest number of immigrants in<br />
Italy. Thus, all places are safe and serene.<br />
You can communicate with locals in<br />
English, Italian, or German.<br />
Activities:<br />
ñ Apart from the mentioned<br />
destinations, you can buy a ticket to<br />
go skiing in Dolomites for 50EUR per<br />
day. For details, please visit http://www.<br />

to travel among different areas of<br />
Dolomites but still want to take in<br />
the beauty of Dolomites, then book a<br />
