Ports and harbours dot the coast and seaside trading and commerce are extremely important to the economy. Tourism in Senegal gains popularity yearly and the attractive beaches and night life entice visitors from around the world.

A vibrant and colourful country, I love the peace and tranquility in this photo and the feeling that you can see forever in the distance.

Located on the Baltic Sea, Latvia’s capital city of Riga is recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is beautifully preserved. In fact, the German art nouveau architecture that can be found throughout Riga is said to be the best of its kind in the whole world.

Have you been to Riga? Or explored other parts of Latvia? Leave me a message – I’d love to hear from you as this gorgeous country is high on my list of places to go next.

With capital city Beirut known as “Paris of the Middle East” to many because of its stunning architecture, there has been an enormous focus on rebuilding the city and it’s easy to see why tourism has been on the rise in Lebanon in recent years.

I would love to take a trip to Lebanon and explore the beautiful beaches and sample the flavourful Lebanese cuisine!
