Transylvania
Now that Romania has joined the EU, Romanians are predicted to make their
way to the West in droves. But with beautiful Gothic cities like Sibiu and Saxon villages that
make up one of the last medieval landscapes in Europe, there is no reason to presume that

summit of Mt Everest. The "Mother of the Universe" (as its known in Tibetan circles), rises 8,850m
(29,035ft) above sea level making it the highest mountain on Earth. For decades summiting Everest has
been considered one of the greatest mountaineering achievements, but now for a modest sum and a
6-day training course, you too can climb Mt Everest with your own private guide.
