Travelling is great fun. You get to explore a new place, meet new people and get wiser! We want to know more and will share with you exciting travel stories from a few special people in our section, planes, trains & automobiles! Where did you choose to go and why? I had been selected for the Italy film festival Cinema Damare as an Editor/Digital artist. Well for me it's where I belong, it's my Paradise! I have always wanted to travel, to meet people from all around the world, to share my interest with them, & to know who I am! I still can't believe how many people I worked with. I went all around Europe (Italy, Austria, Hungary, Czech Republic, Germany, France, Spain, and Switzerland) for almost 10 weeks. Most importantly, now I know the definition of myself, who I am? What I love, what I want in my life, where I want to go and direction for my future plans. Who did you travel with? I travelled alone but found lots of new crazy friends from

different regions. It was an amazing experience for me, working with around 53 nationalities (152 participants) Where did you stay? It was a travelling campus so I stayed in different places like Museums, Universities, Hostels, Hotels and B&B throughout my journey. In Barcelona I stayed with my uncle. it was nice to see some familiar faces there. What are the best shopping spots there? In Milan, you will find some great shops and outlets like the Dolce & Gabbana factory outlet (Via Rossini 70, Legnano, Milan). The other side Barcelona is beautiful, Artistic, romantic and fabulous. It is a paradise for shopping enthu-

What can you do over there to relax and unwind? Best way to relax yourself, is by going to the beach & exploring the river side under the moonlight. I found myself like a free bird on the road/river side & beaches surrounded by endless beauty. Finally, any tips? Book all your tickets (airplane, trains, buses & cruises) in advance, don’t carry extra things in your luggage & do as the Locals do. Moreover, Stay in central and take comfortable shoes for walking. Lastly, Simply - Dream, Discover, Live!

Suggest some amazing restaurants there? I tried different kinds of food from many hotels & restaurants but loved their local food - No one does pasta like the Italians, that’s for sure. I loved Europe's local food. Eating at the local cuisine is one of the most memorable experiences you can have in Europe. Some of my favourite restaurants are Antico Caffè Greco in Rome, Shangri-La-Hotel in Paris, cafe de l'opera, Hotal La Masia & in Barcelona. I dont have a sweet tooth but cant resist ice-cream so I tasted almost all flavors of the gelato ice cream.

Brandenburg Gate & Berlin Victory Column in Berlin, Vajdahunyad Castle, Hungarian Parliament in Budapest, Schönbrunn Palace, Prater,Spanish Riding School, KunstHausWien & Hundertwasserhaus Village in Vienna are the sights you should definitely visit!

An impulsive blend of energies could have you joining forces with someone when it might be wiser to take your time and get to know the person better first. Saturn is part of this alignment, so you'd be wise to hold back and consider whether you're doing the right thing. What you're learning now could have a very productive influence on your life in the coming weeks and months. And with Uranus flipping forward in Aries, your actions may be a little more measured.

With Mercury continuing its retrograde phase, you may be motivated to pick up where you left off regarding a course or the study of a certain subject. You might benefit more than you realize by doing so. While you usually prefer to bypass change, you could embrace it wholeheartedly now and over the coming weeks. Doing so could alter your beliefs and perspective on life, encouraging you to move beyond your limits and live to your full potential.

Success with a plan or idea could hinge on paying attention to the advice of someone more experienced. It could have a positive impact on other areas of your life, too. This week's New Moon on December 28 could coincide with a desire to restructure your finances and consider how you can get your money to work harder for you. You may be in the spotlight on New Year's Eve, which could be something to think about if you intend to go wild.

With a promising influence stirring your sectors of career and lifestyle, avoid taking any shortcuts this week. If someone offers you a get-rich-quick scheme, turn it down. The present blend of energies suggests you'd do far better taking a steady pace toward an inspiring goal that could liberate you from the hard work you've been doing recently. The New Moon in your sector of relating could be an opportunity to take a relationship or romance to the next level.

The Sun's link with retrograde Mercury in your lifestyle sector could see you reconnecting with a health routine that has fallen by the wayside. This could be in response to a week of overindulgence and a desire to clear out your system and enjoy a detox. New ideas that could take your life in an upbeat direction might stir you to act. Nevertheless, avoid cutting corners. Patience is the way ahead if you're preparing for a dynamic new opportunity.

A hobby or pastime that you once enjoyed may become your new focus if you feel motivated to take it up again. If it brings you pleasure, why not? The December 28 New Moon can be an opportunity to start on a creative project or entrepreneurial plan you've been mulling over. New Year's Eve could be an interesting time when a tie between Mars and Neptune sees you enjoying a romantic evening with your sweetheart or chilling with a good friend.

Use common sense this week if a sparkling encounter proves mesmerizing. If you're attracted to someone, don't take this as a sign he or she is "the one." You may find that the person you really click with is someone you've known for a while, someone who's proved to be reliable and steady - and that doesn't necessarily mean boring (as you may be about to find out)! The December 28 New Moon could bring an opportunity for a fresh start at home.

Your intuition may be guiding you to an opportunity that transforms your life. It may be linked with your job and the way you earn your income. If you work at this steadily, it could prove very lucrative in the future. If you're looking for instant success, however, that might be a mistake. Patience is key! New Year's Eve could be one time when you decide to let your hair down and completely enjoy yourself - or you might prefer a more romantic activity!

Working with a trusted team can be better than going solo. However, you might be tempted to blaze a trail with an idea that takes you into new territory. Present influences suggest that working with others is your best bet, as it could lead to outstanding results. A New Moon in your spiritual sector can be a call to take up meditation or another spiritual practice that heightens your awareness. Someone you meet on New Year's Eve may or may not be trustworthy.

It's best to avoid getting entangled in schemes that promise much and return little. Your chart encourages you to be patient regarding results, as you stand to gain very positively if you take the slower, steadier path to success. Your social life may kick off in a new direction, with the New Moon encouraging you to move in new circles and make other friends. New Year's Eve could see you enjoying a moviefest or romantic date that sizzles with promise.
