I love you Cherry Much!
Since my student days I have always found road trips to be an exciting and rewarding experience. The one exception being when my Morris 1000 broke down in France and I could not afford the repairs and had to hitchhike home. That is the only misfortune I can report in my many years of road tripping – initially as an individual and now as a family.

The Kamchatka peninsula is one of the most unique and stunning places in Russia with incredibly diverse nature and wildlife. Here you can fly over active volcanoes, see bears roaming in the wild and take a dip in natural hot springs. Even for Russians, it’s a dream to visit given how remote it is from just about anywhere else in the country. Found in Russia’s Far East, the peninsula is closer to Alaska or Japan than to the capital Moscow. But, for those searching for adventure and willing to travel the distance, Kamchatka will provide unique experiences and stunning hiking trails.

You aren’t crazy if you think you’re seeing blue, twinkling stars. It isn’t your eyes playing tricks on you. Upon closer inspection, you might notice some stars flickering between red and blue, or some were not twinkling. You aren’t the first to ask, “why do the stars twinkle?” Twinkling stars have created wonder on Earth for centuries, even having a nursery rhyme.
At AirTreks we believe travel is possible for everyone. While we don’t think anyone should wait for retirement to give around the world and long-term travel a go, we don’t believe in age limits, either. You’re never too old, or too young to see the world.
We think that Rick Steves said it best in his piece on “Savvy Seniors” when he proclaimed “Travel is a fountain of youth.”
The vast snowy and rugged landscapes of Spitsbergen, part of the Svalbard archipelago in northern Norway, is the stuff of Arctic dreams. Most visitors head here to experience life at the northern extreme, soak up a magnificent visual feast and, of course, meet the unique wildlife that thrives this far north. Primarily, however, visitors head to Spitsbergen because it is from its main settlement, Longyearbyen, that Arctic expeditions set off during the summer months.
