The Murder Castle of Čachtice, part one
There is something about dark and macabre stories that draws people in. Halloween has become a major commercial market in the United States over the last century, and the 2017 horror film Get Out was even a strong contender for the best picture academy award. Like it or not, humans are drawn to darkness. One of the most notoriously spooky places in the world is Transylvania, a region of modern day Hungary, Romania, and Slovakia. Transylvania is the legendary home of Bram Stoker’s Count Dracula and the historic home of Vlad the Impaler—the main inspiration for the vampiric folk tale.

Traveling through Wales
The history of Wales, England’s lesser-known neighbor, is much like its own castles. If the history is not penetrated, it can be a barrier that keeps uneducated visitors from truly understanding the lifestyle and culture of the Welsh people. To breach this historical castle, visitors must understand Wales’s fight for independence, the importance of the Welsh language, and Wales’s artistic background. Then visitors can see the beauty that stands at the heart of Wales.

The Music and Magic of Québec City
Where can you go for a musical experience that spans everything from rock ’n’ roll to jazz, electronica, pop, blues, heavy metal, and more? Québec City’s Festival D’été (the Festival of Summer). This music extravaganza draws international crowds for 11 days every July; this year it runs July 4–14. During the festival, an impressive assemblage of musical venues dots the town, and Québec City is transformed into the largest outdoor music festival in Canada.
