Four most beautiful villages in Italy
Alberobello
Set in the area of Puglia, close to the coastal town of Bari, this village is famous for its beautiful trulli, which are conical roof structures made without any mortar. The large amount of trulli makes Alberobello truly unique. You can even stay in one of these houses when visiting the village.
Menaggio
Set in the province of Como, right on the western shore of Lake Como, the area is frequently visited for its Menaggio and Cadenabbia Golf Club founded in 1907. This beautiful village still
keeps its old attractiveness, with beautiful surroundings that could be enjoyed from one of the many waterfront balconies.
Matera
Matera is in the area of Basilicata. Known as the city of stones, Matera is one of the most ancient and unique towns in the world, having some of the earliest examples of houses carved in the rock. It’s more a village than a town though, and there are churches in the caves found here. In the surrounding Apulia area, you can also find other medieval churches like the Matera Cathedral or the San Pietro Caveoso.
Portofino
The harbor village of Portofino, set in the province of Genoa, offers access to several cozy beaches nearby, which is why this medieval village has been transformed into a pretty vacation site. Having anything from old landmarks to designer stores, this village is the perfect place to enjoy the finest things in life. You could also visit an underwater statue of Christ.

My interest in conquering the Seven Summits first began after I climbed Kilimanjaro in 1999. Back then at the age of 18, I never saw climbing all the Seven Summits as a realistic goal, but I certainly thought it would be fun to try to do some of the easier ones.
Four years later, I got a new job and I found myself considering Mt. Elbrus. What inspired me about this trip was not necessarily Mt. Elbrus itself, but that the Caucasus region had several tiny countries that I could easily backpack in a single trip. To me, Elbrus would simply be an added bonus. Since the climb would only take a week, it left me with plenty of exploring time for other countries. In the summer of 2006, I was able to get the time I needed off and had a successful climb of Mt. Elbrus.
A year later in 2007, I noticed that I began to think about Cerro Aconcagua a lot, and even dream about it. My desire to try another one of the Seven Summits began to get so strong that I worried I might start losing sleep at night. Finally I talked to my boss Tom who was surprisingly supportive and helped give me the time off I would need for Aconcagua.
In February 2008, I had a successful experience and climbed the second highest of the Seven Summits. I somehow devoted myself to training several days a week, and took climbing courses. In June 2009, I climbed what I once thought was impossible, Denali, the second hardest of the Seven Summits. In 2011, I continued towards my dream by reaching
the top of Oceania after conquering Carstensz Pyramid. At this point, there is no doubt that I am able to climb Mt. Vinson Massif so my only unknown is Mt. Everest. I’d like to try Vinson Massif next.

With communication from all corners of the world possible at the ease of your fingers, we are now witness to an advanced form of the hand shake and physical conversations: online friendships.
Alarmingly, according to Internet Safety 101, almost half of young adult users have received upsetting messages, with 92 percent posting their own real names and identificati
on online and 58 percent thinking it doesn't cause concern. And though some parents may be biting their fingernails in fear right now, more than half of the youth have admitted to making their friends online and a good majority regularly text them.
