Where to Stay in Rome
Choose where to stay in Rome depending on your interests and goals. Rome’s historic center (Centro Storico) boasts hotels that put popular attractions, like the Pantheon, at your fingertips as well as bustling cafes and bars for entertainment. Trastevere lies east of the Tiber and offers unique architecture – with ancient churches and quiet lanes as well as being more affordable than its center…

A Far Out Look at Gaby Teller's Costumes in the Man from U.N.C.L.E.
The fashion in this movie is amazing, let's talk about specifically what Gaby is wearing and what it tells us about her character.
Tumblr media
We meet Gaby working as a mechanic in East Berlin. So obviously the this the least put-together we ever see her. I couldn't get a good picture of her jumpsuit but it seems pretty standard. The scarf in her hair is rather fashionable, hinting at what is to come.
Female representation: 10/10 It looks mostly like what a real mechanic would wear, with nothing to emphasize that she is a female mechanic (other than her nice scarf).
Practicality: 10/10 Presumably the most practical thing we see anyone wear in this movie
Tumblr media
This is one of the dresses she tries on while getting under cover. I wish we had gotten more of a montage of her different outfits but this one is pretty fun. It is a vast improvement over the one Solo had her wear first. The orange coordinates with what she wears in the climax, which is fun. And perhaps a nod to the fact that she is playing a part here as much as she will be then.
The dresses she wears going forward are all of the same style, chosen to be both 60s and modern. Watch this video by Cinema Cities for more on the choices made for the costuming. As is discussed there, the choices for Gaby are young and fresh, with bright colors. Geometric patterns, mod shape, an emphasis on legs instead of the hourglass. She stands out from the other leading lady, whose costuming is very complex - doing the most with her hair, make-up, accessories. Gaby, on the other hand, tends to wear earrings and a ring or a bracelet.
Female representation: 10/10 She looks fantastic, even for this short scene in the boutique, and is a spy being outfitted to go undercover. This scene establishes what her style is without deciding to ogle her at any point.
Practicality: 9/10 Compared to the jumpsuit, it's obviously less practical but it's pretty great in general.
Tumblr media
Now undercover in Rome, Gaby wears a white dress with an overcoat that we also see worn with the other dresses. Both are very stylish and fit the silhouette that was popular in the 60s. As far as being fully white goes, that makes sense for a scene in which she is out for a walk with her assigned fiancé, making sure that their cover is convincing (even when they are mugged). White emphasizes her status as a pawn in the game right now (as does the shape of the outfit), as well as implying a woman in need of rescue. It is effective way to trick both their marks and her fellow spies into considering her to be helpless.
Female representation: 10/10 Still fantastic, gonna break my rating system. She looks good but is not eye-candy despite her role in the film.
Practicality: 9/10 The coat doesn't seem especially warm but the ensemble is certainly practical for what she is doing.
Tumblr media
She wears this dress to the races, including a large hat, to meet with Uncle Rudi as well as Alexander Vinciguerra. It is her first job as a spy and this dress reflects that. Instead of pure white, most of it is green, a color generally associated with duplicity (like a snake). The scene includes Gaby doing quite a bit of angling to move the mission forward, which involves playing up what Solo and Kuryakin believe she is there to do as well as her own agenda, so while she isn't exactly a double agent, she is certainly deep in the plot.
Female representation: 10/10 These are all great, what can I say?
Practicality: 9/10 As above, perhaps not as useful as her jumpsuit, especially considering she does work on a car in this scene. But it certainly serves her purposes.
Tumblr media
I couldn't find a photo, but I couldn't leave out her charming pajamas. She wears these in two scenes with Illya Kuryakin, when they are hanging out in their hotel room. The first night, she insists he dance with her and the second night she appears to betray him. So the outfit itself is mostly grey, since we can't be sure what her motivation is (until later in the movie). Plus they look like great pajamas, especially for being undercover and having to share a room with a stranger.
Female representation: 10/10 Some of the best pajamas I've seen a lady wear on film, especially for a spy movie.
Practicality: 10/10 They seem to be very practical, especially for wrestling.
Tumblr media
And here is the showstopper. Gaby wears this for the climax of the film, through a lot of twists and turns. It is the same silhouette as the others, though the neckline is a bit more formal. Following the theme of the last dress, she started in white and now appears to have added a lot of cover on top of the white. The pattern is also reminiscent of camouflage. This makes sense because now is when her status as an agent all along is revealed, as she appears to betray first Kuryakin and Solo and then deceives the Vinciguerras along with her father. Again, she has minimal accessories in contrast to Victoria and she sets herself apart from everyone else in this outfit as she does so in the movie as well.
Female representation: 10/10 For a double-agent and/or damsel in distress, she is very well dressed indeed
Practicality: 9/10 It works well enough but I'm sure she wishes she had something else to wear when they are going off road through the rain.
Tumblr media
The final shot, where the team is now put all together. The show features just the gentlemen and it's great to have her be at the center (the lack of a sequel is devastating). She is back to wearing a white dress, now that her true role in the story has been revealed and she made a significant contribution to the cause in the process.
Female representation: 10/10 Again, it is fantastic, especially for the female member of the spy team
Practicality: 9/10 Same as the others, I daresay

This was the year that was not the year I repaired the bathroom tap and emptied out the kitchen drawer of a lifetime’s worth of crap. 
This was the year that was not the year in which I launched a new career.  516 A West End hit eluded me  as did Time Person of the Year. 
This was the year that was not the year I became a household name.  Action figures were not sold of me.  I wasn’t made a dame. 
This was the year that was not the year  I spent less time on my phone.  Nights of passion did not happen in boutique hotels in Rome. 
This was the year that was the year  I didn’t get that much done –  much the same as the year before,  much like the one to come.
- "This Was the Year that was Not the Year" by Brian Bilston (Days Like These, 2022)

Planning a Unique Corporate Retreat in Europe: Tips and Insights
Corporate retreats are no longer just an excuse to escape the office; they have evolved into an opportunity to build team cohesion, inspire creativity, and foster innovative thinking. Europe, with its stunning landscapes, rich cultural heritage, and world-class facilities, offers countless options for organizing a unique and impactful corporate retreat. By exploring tailored corporate retreats packages, you can simplify planning while ensuring an experience that meets your team’s goals. Whether you’re planning to brainstorm in the Alps, rejuvenate by the Mediterranean, or strategize in a historic castle, here’s a guide packed with tips and insights to make your European corporate retreat unforgettable.
1. Define Your Goals and Objectives
Before deciding on the location or activities, clarify the purpose of your retreat. Is it to reward your employees, enhance team bonding, develop leadership skills, or brainstorm new ideas? Clear goals help determine the ideal destination, itinerary, and budget. For example:
For team bonding: Consider activities like vineyard tours in Bordeaux or hiking in the Scottish Highlands.
For innovation and brainstorming: Choose creative hubs like Amsterdam or Berlin, known for their inspiring environments.
2. Choose the Perfect Location
Europe’s diversity allows for a variety of retreat settings. Here are some standout options:
Urban Retreats: Cities like Barcelona, Prague, or Vienna offer a mix of history, culture, and modern amenities. They’re perfect for companies looking to combine business with leisure activities.
Nature Escapes: Retreats in the Swiss Alps or Tuscany’s countryside offer a serene environment to unplug and refocus.
Unique Venues: Consider booking a castle in Ireland, a chalet in the French Alps, or a villa on the Amalfi Coast for an extraordinary experience.
3. Timing is Everything
When planning a retreat in Europe, timing plays a crucial role. The peak summer season (June to August) sees an influx of tourists, which might affect pricing and availability. Consider the shoulder seasons (spring and autumn) for fewer crowds, mild weather, and lower costs. For a cozy winter retreat, December offers the added charm of Christmas markets across Europe.
4. Incorporate Local Experiences
One of the greatest advantages of hosting a corporate retreat in Europe is the opportunity to immerse your team in local culture. Tailor your itinerary to include unique regional activities:
France: Host a cooking class in Provence or a wine-tasting session in Burgundy.
Italy: Organize a Vespa tour through the streets of Rome or a pasta-making workshop in Florence.
Norway: Embark on a team-building adventure with a Northern Lights excursion or fjord kayaking.
5. Choose Accommodations Wisely
Accommodations can make or break your retreat. Look for venues that offer both comfort and functional spaces for workshops or meetings. Many European destinations have venues specifically designed for corporate groups, combining luxury amenities with high-tech facilities. Whether it’s a boutique hotel in Lisbon or a resort in the Dolomites, ensure the venue aligns with your retreat’s objectives.
6. Plan for Accessibility and Logistics
Europe boasts a well-connected transportation network, making it relatively easy to travel between countries. When selecting a retreat destination, prioritize accessibility for your team:
Choose locations with direct flights or minimal transfers.
If your team is spread across multiple cities, pick a central location like Paris or Munich for convenience.
Arrange group transportation like private shuttles or trains to ensure smooth logistics.
7. Balance Work and Leisure
A successful corporate retreat strikes the right balance between structured activities and downtime. Overloading the schedule with meetings and workshops can lead to burnout. Incorporate leisure activities that allow team members to relax and bond, such as sightseeing tours, yoga sessions, or casual dinners at local restaurants.
8. Hire Local Experts
Partnering with local event planners or retreat organizers can significantly enhance your retreat experience. They bring insider knowledge, from securing unique venues to curating authentic activities. Local experts can also help navigate language barriers, cultural nuances, and permit requirements.
9. Embrace Sustainability
As sustainability becomes a priority for businesses, consider organizing an eco-friendly retreat. Opt for venues with green certifications, support local businesses, and minimize waste by avoiding single-use plastics. You can also include environmentally friendly team activities, such as tree planting or beach clean-ups, to leave a positive impact.
10. Evaluate and Reflect
Once the retreat concludes, collect feedback from participants to evaluate its success and identify areas for improvement. Use surveys or informal discussions to understand what worked well and how the retreat contributed to the team’s goals.
Sample Itinerary for a Corporate Retreat in Europe
Day 1: Arrival and Welcome
Arrive at the destination and check into the retreat venue.
Welcome lunch with local delicacies.
Icebreaker activities to set a collaborative tone.
Day 2: Workshops and Exploration
Morning workshop or brainstorming session.
Afternoon guided city tour or nature hike.
Evening team dinner at a traditional restaurant.
Day 3: Team-Building Activities
Morning team-building exercise, such as a cooking class or outdoor challenge.
Free time for personal exploration or relaxation.
Closing ceremony with awards or acknowledgments.
Day 4: Departure
Farewell breakfast.
Depart for home, rejuvenated and motivated.
Final Thoughts
Planning a corporate retreat in Europe requires careful thought, but the rewards are immense. By selecting a destination that aligns with your company’s goals, incorporating unique local experiences, and prioritizing logistics, you can create an unforgettable retreat that boosts team morale and drives business success. So pack your bags, gather your team, and let Europe inspire your next big idea.

Globetrotting on a Budget: How to Explore Luxuriously Without Breaking the Bank
Traveling the world is often considered a luxury reserved for those with deep pockets. Still, with thoughtful planning and savvy strategies, you can enjoy luxury without overspending. From discovering hidden gems to enjoying high-end experiences for less, traveling on a budget means something other than sacrificing comfort or style. Instead, it’s about making the most of your resources while indulging in the finer aspects of exploration.
Choosing Affordable Destinations That Feel Luxurious
The key to affordable luxury travel is selecting destinations where your money stretches further without compromising quality. Many countries offer world-class experiences at a fraction of the cost of traditional high-end destinations. Southeast Asia, for example, is known for stunning beaches, five-star accommodations, and exquisite dining options at much lower prices than Europe or North America.
Cities like Bangkok or Bali boast luxurious hotels, serene spas, and gourmet dining at rates affordable to budget travelers. Eastern Europe, with destinations such as Budapest or Prague, offers opulent architecture, rich cultural experiences, and elegant accommodations for less. You can enjoy luxury without financial strain by researching exchange rates, seasonal pricing, and local costs.
Timing Your Travel for Maximum Savings
One of the most effective ways to save on travel is to plan around off-peak seasons. High-season travel often comes with inflated prices for flights, hotels, and attractions, but off-season or shoulder-season travel can offer substantial savings. In addition to lower costs, traveling during these periods means fewer crowds and a more intimate experience of popular landmarks.
For instance, visiting Europe in the late fall or early spring allows you to explore iconic cities like Paris or Rome without peak-season crowds and at reduced rates. Similarly, tropical destinations such as the Caribbean often offer discounts during hurricane season, though careful planning is necessary to avoid potential weather disruptions. Flexible scheduling can also help you take advantage of last-minute deals on flights and accommodations, ensuring you get the most value for your money.
Finding Luxury Accommodations at Budget-Friendly Prices
Staying in luxurious accommodations doesn’t always require booking expensive hotels. Alternative lodging options like boutique guesthouses, vacation rentals, and hostels with private rooms can provide upscale experiences at significantly reduced prices. Platforms like Airbnb and VRBO often feature unique properties with luxurious amenities such as pools, hot tubs, or stunning views, offering a personalized touch that rivals high-end hotels.
Many luxury hotels also offer discounts through loyalty programs, flash sales, or partnerships with credit card companies. Signing up for hotel newsletters or using apps to track price drops can help you secure premium accommodations at a fraction of their standard cost. In destinations with popular all-inclusive resorts, last-minute deals can provide access to luxury services, gourmet dining, and activities at a manageable price.
Indulging in Fine Dining on a Budget
One of the joys of traveling is experiencing exceptional cuisine, and fine dining doesn’t have to drain your wallet. Many Michelin-starred or highly rated restaurants offer affordable lunch menus, allowing you to savor gourmet meals without the hefty price tag. Street food and local markets are another way to sample authentic, high-quality dishes at low prices.
Seeking out local dining establishments rather than tourist hotspots often yields more affordable meals and a richer cultural experience. Apps like TheFork or OpenTable frequently list deals and discounts for upscale dining options. Additionally, cooking classes can provide an interactive and delicious way to enjoy local flavors while learning valuable skills to recreate the experience at home.
Exploring High-End Activities for Less
Luxury experiences such as private tours, spa treatments, or yacht excursions might seem out of reach, but they often become accessible with strategic planning. Group bookings or off-peak pricing can significantly lower costs for private or semi-private tours. Many luxury spas offer discounted rates during weekdays or off-hours, providing a chance to enjoy premium pampering without overspending.
Travel packages and city passes often include high-end experiences like guided museum tours, fine dining discounts, or access to exclusive events. Researching local deals or signing up for promotional offers can help you participate in bucket-list activities while staying within budget. For instance, wine tours, hot air balloon rides, or luxury train journeys often feature seasonal discounts that make them affordable options.
Traveling Smart with Loyalty Programs and Rewards
Frequent travelers can unlock significant savings through loyalty programs, travel credit cards, and rewards points. Airline miles or hotel points earned through everyday spending can be redeemed for flights, upgrades, or accommodations, making luxurious experiences more attainable. Credit cards offer sign-up bonuses or travel perks like free checked bags, lounge access, or priority boarding.
By consolidating your travel spending with one airline alliance or hotel chain, you can maximize rewards and enjoy exclusive benefits such as room upgrades, free breakfasts, or late checkouts. Monitoring promotional offers and leveraging points strategically during peak-value redemptions ensures you get the most out of these programs, turning ordinary trips into extraordinary experiences.
Embracing the Art of Slow Travel
Slow travel is an emerging trend that emphasizes quality over quantity. It allows you to immerse yourself in a destination without the rush of ticking off tourist hotspots. This approach reduces transportation costs and lets you discover hidden gems, local culture, and authentic experiences often overlooked by traditional tourists.
Renting a vacation home or staying in one area for an extended period can create opportunities to enjoy luxurious experiences at a slower, more affordable pace. Cooking local ingredients, exploring nearby neighborhoods, and engaging with residents can provide a deeper connection to the destination. Additionally, long-term stays often come with discounts on accommodations and activities, allowing you to stretch your budget while indulging in unique experiences.
Packing Smart to Save More
Traveling luxuriously on a budget starts before you leave home, with careful packing that eliminates unnecessary expenses. Packing light reduces baggage fees, especially on budget airlines, and allows for greater mobility. Bringing versatile clothing that transitions from day to night eliminates the need for additional travel purchases.
Including reusable items such as water bottles, utensils, or shopping bags can also save money and reduce waste. Investing in high-quality luggage with ample storage for travelers visiting multiple destinations ensures that your belongings stay safe while maintaining a polished appearance.
Enjoying the Journey, Not Just the Destination
The essence of luxurious travel lies not in extravagant spending but in creating meaningful and memorable experiences. By prioritizing comfort, connection, and quality, you can enjoy a rich and fulfilling journey without exceeding your budget. Small touches, such as choosing accommodations with stunning views or splurging on a single unforgettable meal, can elevate your trip and create lasting memories.
Traveling luxuriously on a budget requires creativity, flexibility, and a willingness to explore beyond the usual paths. By focusing on smart planning, savvy savings, and a sense of adventure, you can enjoy the world’s most extraordinary experiences while keeping your finances intact. The key is to remember that luxury is not about spending more—making every moment count.

Hidden Gem Destinations: Exploring Lesser-Known Paradises Off the Beaten Path
Tumblr media
In an age when popular tourist destinations are often crowded, finding hidden gems off the beaten path offers a refreshing alternative for travellers seeking tranquillity, culture, and natural beauty. These lesser-known paradises provide an opportunity to connect with nature, experience unique local traditions, and avoid the hustle and bustle of mainstream tourism. Here are a few must-visit hidden gems worldwide that promise unforgettable adventures and peaceful escapes.
1. Lofoten Islands, Norway
Nestled within the Arctic Circle, the Lofoten Islands offer some of Norway’s most dramatic landscapes. Picture rugged mountain peaks, pristine beaches, and quaint fishing villages, all under the vibrant Northern Lights or Midnight Sun, depending on the season. Lofoten’s charm lies in its raw beauty and relatively low tourist traffic, making it a haven for nature enthusiasts. Hikers will enjoy scenic trails like the Reinebringen, offering panoramic views over the islands, while fishermen can participate in traditional cod fishing. The Lofoten Islands also boast unique accommodations, like the traditional “rorbuer” fisherman’s cabins, providing an immersive experience in Norway’s coastal culture.
2. Chefchaouen, Morocco
Known as the “Blue Pearl” of Morocco, Chefchaouen is a city unlike any other. Hidden in the Rif Mountains, this picturesque town is famous for its blue-washed buildings and serene atmosphere. Unlike the bustling streets of Marrakech or Fez, Chefchaouen offers a more relaxed vibe, with winding alleys lined with artisan shops, local cafés, and vibrant markets. Here, you can explore traditional Moroccan handicrafts, like woven blankets, ceramics, and leather goods, or savor local delicacies like tagine and mint tea. Lush landscapes also surround the city and offers fantastic hiking trails, such as the one leading to the Akchour Waterfalls. Chefchaouen is a feast for the senses and an excellent spot for photographers and culture seekers.
3. Matera, Italy
Matera, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Southern Italy, is an ancient city with a unique charm. Known for its ��Sassi” districts, where houses and churches are carved directly into limestone cliffs, Matera feels like a journey back in time. Visitors can explore ancient cave dwellings, historic churches, and stone-carved streets, many of which have been used as filming locations for historical movies. Matera’s history dates back thousands of years, offering a glimpse into Italy’s past, yet it remains relatively uncrowded compared to cities like Rome or Florence. The city also has cozy trattorias and boutique hotels nestled within cave structures, creating an unforgettable blend of history and modern luxury.
4. Sapa, Vietnam
Located in the northern mountains of Vietnam, Sapa is a hidden paradise for travelers interested in breathtaking scenery and vibrant local cultures. Known for its terraced rice fields and traditional villages, Sapa offers a unique view of rural life in Vietnam. Guided treks through the region allow visitors to connect with local ethnic groups like the Hmong and Dao people, who welcome guests with open arms and share their traditional crafts and customs. The rice terraces are lovely in September, when they turn golden before the harvest. Sapa’s cool, misty climate and rich cultural heritage make it a fantastic retreat from the heat and busyness of urban Vietnam.
5. Kotor, Montenegro
Kotor, tucked along the Adriatic Sea in Montenegro, combines ancient history with stunning natural beauty. This medieval town, set against dramatic mountains and surrounded by a fjord-like bay, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its well-preserved architecture and vibrant culture. Wander through its cobbled streets, visit the historic Kotor Fortress, or take a boat ride along the bay. Unlike other Mediterranean hotspots, Kotor has retained its authenticity and charm, making it a quiet yet captivating alternative to popular destinations like Dubrovnik. The surrounding mountains offer great hiking trails with breathtaking views over the Bay of Kotor, perfect for travelers seeking history and adventure.
Conclusion
These hidden gem destinations offer travelers an alternative to crowded tourist spots, combining natural beauty, rich cultural experiences, and tranquil environments. Whether you’re drawn to the ancient caves of Matera, the peaceful shores of the Lofoten Islands, or the blue-washed alleys of Chefchaouen, each location offers a unique opportunity to explore something extraordinary off the beaten path. Embracing lesser-known paradises allows for more meaningful connections with locals, deeper immersion in unique landscapes, and an enriching and unforgettable travel experience.
