Somewhere in Portugal, or Greece, or does it even really matter? - the sea doesn’t care about the imaginary lines, borders or names. The sea will change its mood and show its power, even if no one is looking…

Personalized tour with the Knight of the Round Table, or some other table and some other language, likely Latin…

The other side of the Atlantic - if you look closely, but also far enough, you can see Jersey Shore (I tried, but…)

We were walking the streets of Coimbra, as we noticed a group of people in black, singing and playing sad music. As it turned out, Fado music has its roots in Portugal, where guys used to get together with their friends and serenade a woman standing on a balcony. If she liked his sorrowful, dejected singing, she signaled him by turning her lights off and on a few times, after which he would run up to her place and engage in a wild intimate action (according to my interpretation) - a lot of rich history!

I was fortunate to speak with Pat Miletich – a true privilege not only because he is a UFC Champion and a Hall of Famer, and not only because he is a former sports commentator for ESPN & Showtime, and a highly successful trainer and coach. Pat is a unique human being, constantly looking for ways to give back, whether it’s through law enforcement and military training programs, or his work on supporting veteran organizations and much more. Above all else, Pat is one of the most direct and straightforward people in the world, the true embodiment of respect and honor.

In the latest breaking news, Linda Kasabian, a member of the notorious “Charles Manson Family” has died at the age of 73. She has murdered countless people, in particular Sharon Tate, the pregnant wife of the Polish film director Roman Polanski. The news media will work hard to ensure that her name is never forgotten, but in a positive tradition, I would rather try to bring another name to the surface, someone who truly deserves to be mentioned and remembered.

Please remember this name for at least a day or two - Andrew Peters. He was just 28 years old when he was killed in action last month. Despite being an American, he was killed in Ukraine. Andrew served a tour of duty in Afghanistan in 2014 and was honorably discharged after 4 years of service. He then moved back to his hometown, where he lived peacefully and enjoyed his family. Last year, Andrew volunteered to join the fight in Ukraine, stating: "I cannot ignore the horror and the suffering of the people."

He wasn’t into politics, he simply had a strong sense of what was right and wrong. He was a real-life hero, whose name deserves to be remembered.
