In Africa

In Asia

November marks the long-awaited awakening of Asia and India, which emerge from the long months of heavy rains of the monsoon.

In India, Goa and Kovalam are perfect to recover by the sea after experiencing the effervescence atmosphere of the Pushkar fair and of Diwali ( the Festival of Lights ).
