Germany is really strong in reinventing itself. It has done it many times during the history, and it has done it again after the reunification in 1990. Germany, like the phoenix bird, has born again from its ashes: in Hamburg they build an entire quarter on the ruins of a harbor, the dome of Frauenkirch is dominating again the skyline of Dresden and Berlin is more open-minded and creative than ever before.
Greece is a country everybody will find charming. Those who are looking for cultural relaxation can visit museums and ruins, while hedonists who only care about their tan can sunbathe at the beach. Light and air are clear, floral aromas are carried by the wind, and the best thing about all is the combination of ouzo and octopus.
El Salvador doesn’t get the attention it deserves: travelers usually choose Guatemala and Costa Rica, but overlook El Salvador, frightened by stories about civil war and gang violence. However, the civil war ended 20 years ago, and while there is still serious gang violence, it is played exclusively by rival gangs, and tourists never get involved. El Salvador doesn’t have as many natural reservations as its neighbors, but if you get there, you will have all the picturesque forests, volcanoes and alpine lakes all for yourself.
Malaysia is the island of peace and prosperity compared to its neighbors, Thailand and Indonesia. Malaysia never has any natural disasters, there are no coups, roads, transportation and hotels are on international level, and prices are not very high either. So you can have all the exciting culture of Southeast Asia without any problems.
Morocco is a melting pot of the Muslim and secular, Berber and Arab, Mediterranean and African world. Morocco is a very modern country with many links to the western world. Moroccans are just as concerned about radical islam as Westerners are. Moroccans live simple lives, hoping that tourism will bring a better future for their country and themselves.
Nepal was a no-go country in the last decade, but last year it seems everything settled down. Now the government is made by the rebels, the kingdom became a republic, and the king became a civilian. All this means peace and a chance for prosperity for Nepal, and hopefully tourists will be interested again in this unique country.
New Zealand has a rented place in every tourism top list because it has everything a traveler could want: spectacular landscapes from rainforests to glaciers, geothermal springs and volcanic plains. There is lots of wildlife, the maori culture is as attractive as ever, and the food and drink is also fine.
Portugal today consists of two different worlds. This is a land with great tradition with saints-day festivals, ancient vineyards and medieval villages. On the other hand, modern lifestyle is spreading rapidly, old city centers are filled once again with life by a new wave of boutiques, cafes and art galleries.
Suriname is y far the smallest and most interesting country in South America. Its population is a mix between West African slaves and Chinese, Javanese and Indian workers, as well as indigenous Amerindians and Lebanese, Jewish and Dutch settlers. All these cultures coexist peacefully, and the traveler has the sensation he is visiting more cultures and countries at once.
