Star Gazing in Switzerland<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Switzerland\u2019s Million Stars Hotel project<\/a> consists of about 50 unique accommodation options in all of the country\u2019s language regions. These invite guests to enjoy pristine nature or even a backdrop of city life with a starry canopy in an exclusive experience for two. <\/p>\n

\"Bubble-Hotel-Feierlenhof\"<\/p>\n

Thurgau Bubble Hotels<\/a> let you sleep in the most beautiful places, in the middle of Thurgau\u2019s gardens, orchards or vineyards, high above the lake and always under the wide-open sky. The accommodations are placed in quiet and secluded locations around the grounds of the various partner establishments. So you\u2019re assured privacy, despite the transparent walls.<\/em><\/h5>\n<\/p>\n

There is a huge diversity of accommodations and locations on offer with an equal diversity of services, but each of the accommodation providers is most often only offering one Million Stars Hotel rooms per property. Most of the locations were created in 2020 especially for the Million Stars Hotel project. Here we have illustrated four accommodations to help explain how this \u201chotel\u201d (room) looks and feels in reality! <\/p>\n

\"Capanna-Gorda\"<\/p>\n

The location of Capanna Gorda<\/a> is internationally known among astronomy associations for the optimal conditions it offers for stargazing. It lies on a high plateau at an altitude of 1,800 meters\/6,000 feet and offers a spectacular view of the Blenio Valley as well as the mighty peaks and surrounding glaciers. <\/em><\/h5>\n<\/p>\n

The common denominator for all the rooms is the unimpeded view of the starry sky from your bed: You may choose to sleep outdoors, under a glass roof or behind a large glass fa\u00e7ade. The price covers an overnight stay for two people including breakfast. Each accommodation is described in detail on a separate web page and a map is provided to pinpoint the part of Switzerland in which it is situated. <\/p>\n

\"Lake-Burgaschi-Glass-House\"<\/p>\n

The front of the Lake Glass House<\/a> can be lowered and used as a balcony \u2013 perfect for an aperitif. Once night falls, you can take the bed outdoors and drift off to sleep under the starry night sky against the backdrop of Lake Burg\u00e4schi. If it starts to rain in the middle of the night or the sun becomes too warm in the morning, you can simply retreat back into the sheltered house. Guests may eat and drink in the Seeblick Burg\u00e4schi restaurant. <\/em><\/h5>\n<\/p>\n

Depending on their altitude and \u201coutdoor character\u201d, the Million Stars Hotel rooms are available for bookings from July until the end of October at the latest. Alternative accommodation is available for options that do not offer protection against the elements in case of bad weather. Bathroom facilities can be found nearby (mostly in the hotel, on the farm, etc.). <\/p>\n

\"Tubbo-Sky-Parkhotel-Gunten\"From the comfort of their box spring bed with its open canopy, guests can enjoy the view of the starry sky, Lake Thun, the mighty Niesen peak and the numerous 4,000 meter\/13,000 foot peaks of the Bernese Oberland. A generous breakfast is served in Parkhotel Gunten<\/a> nearby. <\/em><\/h5>\n<\/p>\n

May Switzerland\u2019s night skies always be clear for guests to enjoy this unique vacation adventure! <\/p>\n

Discover Portugal\u2019s Alentejo Region<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Alentejo region<\/strong>, www.visitalentejo.pt\/en\/<\/a>, is the heartland of Portugal, stretching from the Tejo River north of Lisbon to the mountains that surround the Algarve in the extreme south, to the border with Spain in the east, and the Atlantic shore in the west. It has inspired countless epic tales and adventures featuring Moors, Romans, Phoenicians and Celts, each leaving their mark on the unique local culture. A land with intense flavors of wine and a local cuisine that is unlike anything else, and as fresh and as local as the land it comes from. A place of plains and mountains, blue rivers, pristine beaches, fortified towns and villages painted in white and blue. <\/p>\n

\"Mertola-Portugal\"
In southeast Portugal, M\u00e9rtola was inhabited during Classical Antiquity by Phoenicians, Carthaginians and finally Romans, before being ruled by Moors from North Africa for over 400 years. <\/em>\u00a9Alentejo Promotion Office<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Making up 20% of Portugal, it has just 500,000 inhabitants, living in and around white-washed towns set on green plains, or amid vineyards and olive groves. The Portuguese call the Alentejo, with its own way of speaking, singing and seeing the world, its own nation. <\/p>\n

\"Elvas-Portugal-Aquaduct\"
Elvas is one of Portugal\u2019s hidden gems, a highly fortified and historic town situated near the border region with Spain, 200 km east of Lisbon. <\/em>\u00a9Alentejo Promotion Office<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Alentejo has become Portugal\u2019s new premier wine region. In recent decades, the region\u2019s winemakers have ushered in many of the modern advancements, earning critical acclaim for some full-bodied, fruity reds and light, oaky whites. <\/p>\n

The rolling plains are covered with large vineyards, dotted with whitewashed homes and cork trees. Both the wines and cuisine of the Alentejo have been influenced by Greek, Roman and Arab visitors. <\/p>\n

\"Golega-Horses-Portugal\"
Goleg\u00e3 is considered the horse capital of Portugal, the site for the gathering of breeders since at least the 18th century and the National Horse Fair each November. <\/em>\u00a9Alentejo Promotion Office<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Alentejo is also a region with a long horse history, celebrated to this day in colorful festivals and a new Equestrian resort set in 800 hectares\/2,000 acres of rolling countryside. Dedicated to the Lusitanian horse breed, the state-owned Royal Horse Farm was founded in 1748. The property now includes the second hotel in Portugal to open under the Revive Program that rehabilitates national historic heritage in the country. Unveiled recently, the Vila Gal\u00e9 Collection Alter Real<\/a> is a mix of luxury accommodations and guest facilities with equestrian tourism, offering guided farm tours, horse riding, carriage rides and even horse riding lessons for all levels. <\/p>\n

The ancient land of Alentejo produces more than half of the world’s total cork from beautiful cork oak forests that are one of the most common tree species in Portugal. They are also a haven for dozens of bird species, butterflies and plants. The process of removal, done once every 9 years, involves removing the outer bark. You can see the stripping of the bark in the Alentejo, and a red tee indicates it has had its bark recently removed. The hardy cork oak then grows a new layer of bark. <\/p>\n

\"Odemira-Portugal\"
On the coast of southwest Portugal, Odemira is famous for its wild beaches and for being home to a significant Dutch and German community. <\/em>\u00a9Alentejo Promotion Office<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The protection of Alentejo\u2019s cork trees by law has resulted in thousands of acres of protected forests and a deep cultural respect for their preservation. Ever since the 17th century, when a certain Benedictine monk, Dom Perignon, selected the bark of the cork oak as the perfect sealant for that legendary champagne, it has been something very special. Today there is enough cork in the forests of Portugal to last more than a century. <\/p>\n

Thirtieth Anniversary of German Reunification<\/strong><\/h2>\n

On October 3, 2020, all of Germany and the world acknowledges the thirtieth anniversary of German reunification. The peaceful revolution in the German Democratic Republic (GDR), the fall of the Berlin Wall on November 9, 1989, and the opening of the internal borders finally led to the unity of Germany, and to the deep enrichment of tourism exploration that has taken place in the three decades that followed. <\/p>\n

\"Dresden-Museum-of-Military-History\"
The design of Dresden\u2019s dramatic Museum of Military History sends a message of war\u2019s destruction of buildings, culture and people. Inside it is more a peace museum than a war museum. <\/em>\u00a9Alison Gardner<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

With reunification, Berlin was reinstated as Germany\u2019s united capital city. The five states of the former GDR joined the Federal Republic of Germany (formerly West Germany). Extensively restored historic towns and cities became popular travel destinations, as well as places renowned for sustainability, originality, culture, nature, UNESCO sites, art, and art history. According to a study by IPK International\u2019s World Travel Monitor for 2019, Germany became the number one culture destination for Europeans. <\/p>\n

In October 2019, I explored for the first time the eastern state of Saxony<\/strong>, saxonytourism.com<\/a>, bordering the countries of Poland and the Czech Republic. I can highly recommend Saxony for its history, art, and its historical and contemporary architecture to be found in small towns and the splendid larger cities of Dresden and Leipzig. Expect to see monumental Gothic and Renaissance architecture to Baroque to Art Nouveau in the early 20th century and \u201cNeues Bauen\u201d (New Building) or the famous Bauhaus design, conceived in this region 100 years ago to go on to become a worldwide phenomenon. Many buildings include stories of tragic and triumphant human events and even statements of protest. <\/p>\n

\"Dresden-Furstenzug-Porcelain-Mural\"
The F\u00fcrstenzug or Procession of Princes is the largest porcelain artwork in the world. <\/em>\u00a9Alison Gardner<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Especially in Dresden<\/a>, the capital of Saxony, almost every gorgeous building we see there today is very new but looks very historic. Why? Because this acknowledged center of culture, the arts and power for centuries was literally bombed into rubble a few months before the end of World War II. It was mainly after the reunification of Germany that historic Dresden literally rose from the rubble in a remarkably short couple of decades. <\/p>\n

Located on the outer wall of the old city\u2019s Dresden Castle is a fascinating mural (see photo above) made of 23,000 Meissen art tiles depicting 800 years of Saxony rulers and the people they ruled. The massive scale of this 102-meter (335-foot) project initially draws visitors to take photos but it is the intricate detail of the human parade that keeps people studying the scenes for hours. Not surprisingly, here is the largest porcelain artwork in the world, with each tile painted and fired at the must-visit Meissen factory a 30-minute drive away. Completed in 1907, this mural entitled F\u00fcrstenzug or Procession of Princes miraculously received only minimal damage during the Dresden bombing 38 years later. <\/p>\n

\"Leipzig-Industrial-Architecture-Repurposed\"
A Leipzig city district illustrates how its former grim industrial architecture has been repurposed into a unique, viewer- and user-friendly river front. <\/em>\u00a9LTM Leipzig Tourismus und Marketing GmbH<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Like its Saxony sister city of Dresden, Leipzig<\/a> was repeatedly bombed between 1943 and 1945 with great devastation to its cultural and architectural heart. It too has risen from the rubble to become a charming artistic destination reborn, and one of Germany\u2019s greenest cities crossed by numerous rivers and canals. An intriguing design attribute from the Communist era is its repurposed industrial architecture seen along canal waterfronts where boat tours are now offered. The conversion of continental Europe\u2019s largest cotton spinning mill into an enormous, multi-story rabbit warren of artists, workshops and galleries has also given birth to the Spinnerei Art Center and the hot-selling New Leipzig School of Art. None of the rawness of the structure\u2019s earlier life is hidden from visitors. <\/p>\n

\"Leipzig-Monument-of-the-Nations\"
The colossal Monument to the Battle of the Nations pays tribute to the four nations that defeated Napoleon\u2019s army in 1813 at this Leipzig location. <\/em>\u00a9LTM Leipzig Tourismus und Marketing GmbH<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Monument to the Battle of the Nations near Leipzig commemorates the defeat in 1813 of Napoleon Bonaparte\u2019s forces by a country coalition of Russia, Prussia, Sweden and Austria. Paid for mostly by donations and the city of Leipzig, the monument was completed in 1913 for the 100th anniversary of the battle. I am seldom smitten by 91-meter\/299-foot-high monoliths of concrete faced with granite, but this fine example of Wilhelmine architecture was powerful from a distance and filled with stunning sculptures inside. The monument stands on the spot of some of the bloodiest fighting, from which Napoleon ordered the retreat of his army. This is war art at its finest. <\/p>\n

Your trip to reunified Saxony will be one highlight after another! <\/p>\n

Food for Thought on the Future of Travel<\/span>\u201cWe believe that every traveler is a steward of the world. And that being a good traveler means being a good guest. Before this pandemic, the biggest threat to travel was overtourism\u2014too many people going to the same place, at the same time, to take the same picture, to share with the same group of people. That feels like a lifetime ago, right? I have a suggestion: Let\u2019s not go back to that reality.\u201d AFAR<\/a> editor in chief Julia Cosgrove.
\nWith those admirable thoughts in mind, let\u2019s also consider what Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, means by his new travel buzzword, \u201cRegenerative Travel\u201d. <\/span>
\n\u201cThe global pandemic has brought the world to a standstill and, in the process, destinations and communities who rely on travel and tourism for their livelihoods are facing a challenging and uncertain reality,\u201d the Duke said during a virtual global summit in July hosted by Travalyst<\/a> \u2014 his global tourism initiative launched in September 2019. \u201cMeanwhile, we must remember that the growth of tourism was on an unsustainable trajectory,\u201d he added. \u201cAs the travel and tourism industry begins to recover, we want to learn from those who are keeping communities and sustainability at the heart of what they are doing to build back better.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Black Heritage Tours Tell Different Stories<\/h2>\n

Black Paris travel expert, Julia Browne, founded Walking The Spirit Tours<\/strong> in 1994, (www.walkthespirit.com<\/a>), and has pioneered the genre of Black heritage tourism in Paris and other regions of France. With no known Black heritage in my own family tree, I joined one of Julia\u2019s walking tour of Paris a few years ago that followed in the footsteps of transplanted African American intellectuals, artists and musicians in the early 20th century. Their influences were enormous in the European scene reflected to this day, even while they were dismissed as insignificant in their own country. <\/p>\n

Julia Browne is a Canadian travel professional, consultant, and lecturer who lived in Paris for more than a decade. Her tours and customized itineraries become trip highlights for individuals and educational institutions exploring heritage ties across Europe, in Canada and Washington DC. Julia is associate producer of the compelling documentary \u201cParis Noir-African Americans in the City of Light<\/a>\u201d. Also enjoy reading the fascinating article about Julia\u2019s Paris tours<\/a> in our Travel Article Library collection.<\/p>\n

Recently, I have learned about the Black Heritage Tours<\/strong> company (blackheritagetours.com<\/a>) founded by Jennifer Tosch, a Surinamese-American who in 2013 launched her highly praised black heritage tours of Amsterdam drawing on the colonial past of The Netherlands. In 2016 she also created a two-day immersive experience exploring New York State (formerly the Dutch colony of New Netherland) through the lens of African slave legacies. Similar interpretive tours in Brussels, Belgium will be launched soon by Jennifer with what I am sure will be the same passion as she brings to her Amsterdam and New York tours. <\/p>\n

\"Black-Heritage-Tours-Amsterdam\"
Visiting Amsterdam from the canals is the best way to experience this beautiful historic city, while exploring its African slave legacies of the past. <\/em>\u00a9Black Heritage Tours<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Indeed Jennifer is a lively scholar on the influential period of the Dutch colonial history from the early 1600s onward. \u201cWe can\u2019t talk about the origins of the colonial period in North America,\u201d she says, \u201cor any of the territories colonized by Europe without understanding how enslavement of African people influenced its development.\u201d <\/p>\n

What you should never say to an expat<\/h2>\n

Instead of just traveling abroad, maybe you have a reason to work in another country or even retire to another country. This is no small decision, but it is not an uncommon one, as illustrated by the formation of Internations<\/a> in 2007, now the largest global expat network with four million members in 420 cities worldwide. Their members have offered thoughts on what you should avoid saying if chatting with an expat (short for a person living abroad) and just what the response might be from that expat. <\/p>\n

\"Greece-Ex-Pat-Ladies-Parade\"
Expats and visitors<\/a> join in the New Orleans style parade that kicks off the Annual Kardamyli Jazz Festival on Greece\u2019s Peloponnese Peninsula. <\/em>\u00a9Jackie Humphries Smith<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re so lucky\u201d<\/strong>
\nYes, we understand that we\u2019re in a sunnier country with friendlier people and better job opportunities but reiterating how \u2018lucky\u2019 we are implies that courage, hard work and tenacity played no part. If you want to live where we live, you can but you choose not to.
\nThat\u2019s not because you\u2019re unlucky; it\u2019s a choice you have made, just like my new country is a choice I\u2019ve made. <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cAre you fluent yet?\u201d<\/strong>
\nSeriously, do you know how long it takes to master a language to fluency?
\nSo many of us spend hours every day on our new language and it\u2019s frustrating enough when, after a year, we\u2019re not even at Kindergarten level. Asking if we\u2019re fluent yet makes us feel embarrassed and inferior so please don\u2019t do it! <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cPlease, it can\u2019t be that bad\u201d<\/strong>
\nIf I\u2019m complaining about how frustrating it is to open a new bank account when I don\u2019t yet have a permanent address, please don\u2019t say \u201cIt can\u2019t be that bad! You live by the beach!\u201d or \u201cYou have year-round sunshine! Try queuing up for the [bank] in the pouring rain!\u201d
\nJust because I\u2019ve moved, it doesn\u2019t mean all my problems have melted away. My new country might have better weather, but that doesn\u2019t automatically negate all my problems. <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cNot that it matters to you\u201d<\/strong>
\nI\u2019m in a new country which I call home, yes, but that doesn\u2019t mean I\u2019m not interested or concerned about the state of affairs in my old home.
\nIn the run up to the UK General Election 2015, I was told more than once that it doesn\u2019t concern me because I\u2019ve been in Australia for two years. I still care about [health care], our education system and all the things that make Britain, Britain. It matters to me. Please don\u2019t tell me it doesn\u2019t. <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cYou should try making friends with more locals\u201d<\/strong>
\nOkay, I know that I have more English speaking friends than not, but they\u2019re easier to connect with \u2013 for now. Until I learn the local language to an advanced level, there\u2019s only so much conversation I can have with locals.
\nEnglish is the language I think in, cry in, and sometimes I just need people that are effortless to be with. Local friends will come with time, I promise. <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cWhen are you moving back home?\u201d<\/strong>
\nYou think I packed up 20 tonnes of luggage and hauled it across the Atlantic for fun? No. My new country is my new home. Maybe I\u2019ll \u2018move back home\u2019 one day but I don\u2019t know that for sure. For now, I\u2019m making a go of things in my new country. Please support me instead of acting like it\u2019s a phase.<\/em> <\/p>\n

On this theme, we recommend two feature articles by expats in our own Travel Article Library : one about retiring from Seattle, Washington to Greece\u2019s southern peninsula<\/a> to buy an olive grove and learn to grow olives successfully, and another article about retiring from Cleveland, Ohio to Seville, Spain<\/a> to immerse in the local culture and travel the countries of Europe with ease. Sixteen years later and a book about how to enjoy moving abroad, there are no regrets for our nouveau-Sevillians!<\/p>\n
