The 2015 Winter Universiade will be exceptionally held in two countries - Spain and Slovakia. The Spanish organizers had a problem with the construction of the sports facilities (including the jumps), so ice hockey and curling will be held in Granada, and ski jumping and biathlon competitions will be available in the Slovak resorts of Osrblie and Štrbské Pleso. The Universiade, also known as the Student Games, is one of the most important sports events organized by The International University Sports Federation (FISU). It takes place every two years for an odd year. It was organized for the first time in 1959 in Turin - it was the Summer Universiade, and 407 competitors from 43 countries took part in it. A year later, the Winter Universiade was held in Chamonix, France. Since 1981, both editions, summer and winter, have been organized in the same year.

Every fan of French cuisine will love the Lyon restaurant menu. Right here, in a city famous for its numerous collections of contemporary art, you can taste unique asparagus with oyster mousse, crab soup with saffron or ravioli stuffed with snails. Lyon is the third largest city in France (after Paris and Marseille). It is located on the Saone and Rhône mountains in the Rhône-Alpes region in the central-eastern part of the country. It is impossible to deny its charm - it is full of Renaissance tenement houses with arcaded courtyards and beautiful facades. In addition to centuries of history, it attracts tourists with the atmosphere of a cosmopolitan city that is dynamically developing, in no way inferior to the capital.

From 9 to 12 April, during the Motor Show Poznań, over 200 exhibitors from Poland and abroad will present their exhibitions at three trade shows: car, motorcycle and caravanning.

The 2015 Motor Show is fast approaching

The European motorhome market has been invariably dominated by German and Italian companies for several decades, offering a wide selection of mobile homes - practically for every budget. The company Rimor, which has been operating for 30 years and specializes in building relatively light structures, stands out among Italian manufacturers. Up to 20% lighter than comparable competitor models. Not every caravanning enthusiast expects from his camper a living space for four people, with a well-equipped interior with a separate dining room and numerous cabinets and lockers. The basic model of the producer from sunny Italy is the Horus 30, which meets the basic requirements of every tourist.

Hamburg is a city of musicals, theaters, including the famous Thalia Theater (Hamburg's oldest) and museums - with a special focus on the Panoptikum, the largest wax museum in Germany. In the northern part of Germany, on the Elbe, lies Hamburg - Germany's second largest city and the country's largest port (and one of the largest in the world). It is a financial center, an industrial center, a rail and road junction, and an important container reloading site. At the same time, it is a cultural and historical center of undeniable importance on the national and continental scale. It is difficult to count how many museums and theaters it houses.

There are constant changes on the European caravanning market, especially in the catalogs of leading manufacturers (from Italy and Germany) fighting for a wealthy customer. Polish enthusiasts of camping relaxation know the German company Hobby - the manufacturer of many trailers available on the secondary market. The constructions, mostly from the 1980s, are suitable only for a museum of technology, at least in terms of design and equipment. We believe that the flagship model of the manufacturer across the Oder - Landhaus - has a completely different purpose. Already at the first contact with a trailer mounted on a two-axle chassis , many questions arise regarding dimensions, equipment, construction and price. Like an unlimited body, it seems to be in isolation from generally accepted aerodynamic principles . Almost vertical walls, together with the roof protruding on each side, generate huge air resistance while driving - which only increases the effort of the towing car (the Landhaus weighs nearly 2 tons ). On the other hand, regular shapes herald a huge space inside.

The caravanning equipment market is growing every year. Especially in countries such as Poland, from year to year more and more people decide to buy a motorhome or caravan. Producers from Western Europe, in pursuit of the demand, constantly make their catalogs more attractive. As a result, customers have a huge choice. One of the most interesting propositions for a reasonable (in Germany) price of 18,000 euros is the Knaus Sudwind Exclusive model. Similar constructions are created for families actively spending their free time, traveling around Europe and beyond at their own discretion. To facilitate maneuvering on the camping site, the trailer is mounted on a single- axle chassis - you must remember not to go inside after detaching the drawbar from the tow hook.

Knaus Sudwind Exclusive - a reasonable proposition

"You were skiing, weren't you?" When we hear this question not after showing off photos from a successful holiday, but for good morning, it may mean that we made the basic mistake of a lover of two skis. In the era of an increasing number of metrosexual or even more metrosexual men, we still do not lack the so-called alpha males who think that male cosmetics can safely limit themselves to gray soap and wireworm. Fortunately, there is also a golden mean and men who know that when on vacation a good sunscreen or sunscreen oil with an appropriate filter should have a place in their cosmetic bag.

Less than a hundred years ago, Poles constituted almost half of Kaunas's population. Today, there are less than 1% of them, but a native of Poland visiting this beautiful city will feel at home here. It is the largest industrial center in the country, but above all an important cultural center (second only to Vilnius). While wandering through Lithuania, it is worth stopping at least for a weekend in Kaunas, one of the country's oldest cities. The more that it is located only 110 km from Vilnius.

Most caravanning enthusiasts attach great importance to the activities related to the search and selection of a new or used motorhome. Checking all on-board systems, the health of the driveline, bodywork and more - everyone knows this list. Few people put a lot of effort into selling it. By investing a few hours of our own work and a small amount, we will effectively prepare our mobile home for sale at a slightly better price. At the very beginning, it is worth emphasizing that by masking damage and any shortcomings, we will not do much. We will achieve the opposite effect by honestly and reliably informing the buyer about all serious defects of the equipment sold . In this way, we will gain trust, and we will exclude the possibility of possible complaints caused by concealing important information. Therefore, at the very beginning of the inspection, it is worth presenting dents, cracks and scratches of furniture , and tell about the mechanical repairs .

We sell a motorhome - what to do to get a better price?

At the beginning of 2015, the Polish company Taurus, a producer and distributor of roof racks, roof boxes and other accessories facilitating car transport, became the official representative of the Whispbar brand in Poland. Taurus will distribute, among others luggage racks that achieve the best results in terms of noise levels. According to the Taurus announcement, the company intends to widely distribute both luggage racks and roof boxes, as well as special handles for transporting, among others, bicycles, skis, snowboards and water equipment.

Orleans is associated with Joan of Arc, with the stone spans of the Royal Bridge hidden in the morning mist, with the gleaming colorful glow of the gothic facade of Hôtel Groslot, as well as with profiteroles, sweet puffs covered with hot chocolate. Who has not heard of the Maid of Orléans? Probably everyone knows about Joan of Arc, for the same city she came from is not even half known as she is. A pity, because it has many advantages and even more charm. Malicious people call them - quite unfairly - the suburbs of Paris. Perhaps as a child's revenge for moving the capital here in the 15th century, after the city was liberated from the English occupation?.
