This Valentine’s Day, bring creativity in your romantic lives and forget Paris or Rome. These places will be full of couples and you will not find the needed privacy. For all the people who want a fresh destination this time, can visit the following places.

Brighton

There’s nothing like a good dose of fresh sea air to get you in the mood, and Brighton in February has plenty of that. Take your Valentine for breezy walks along the sea front and seek refuge from the wind in the Royal Pavilion. Unusually unpredictable with its English seaside location, the pink domes and minarets of the building were once the seaside home of George IV, the extravagant king of Great Britain, Ireland and Hanover from 1820 to 1830.

Buy trinkets for each other in the Lanes, home to over 200 independent shops, and the more bohemian outlets of the nearby North Laine where more than 300 outlets are squeezed into an area of just under half a square mile.

Québec City

Québec City is repeatedly labeled the most romantic city in North America, Founded in 1608 as a fur-trading post, Quebec City is one of North America’s oldest cities and the only one north of Mexico with a city wall.  quebec
The narrow paved streets of the UNESCO World Heritage-listed old town make a scenic course for the city’s horse-drawn calèches to follow. What’s more, there are many romantic hotels as well. Try to stay at the Auberge Saint Antoine if you can. Located in a historic warehouse in the old port area, the boutique hotel is commonly rated as one of the best hotels in Canada and is something of a landmark in the city.

One of the most breathtaking and jaw dropping experiences on can have among things to do before you die list. Seeing Aurora in action with one’s own eyes. Auroras, are also called the northern and southern (polar) lights or aurorae. These are are phenomena of nature and they are strange lights that dance in the sky. They are normally seen at night at magnetic north and south poles.

These strange, dancing light when seen in northern hemisphere are called aurora borealis, named after the Roman goddess of dawn, Aurora, and the Greek name for north wind, Boreas. The aurora borealis is also called the northern polar lights, as it is only visible in the sky from the Northern Hemisphere. The more you are near the magnetic north pole, the more chance you have to see Aurora Borealis. That means you have to travel to the arctic islands of northern Canada or Norway to experience them.

Being at exact magnetic pole does not help much as they are exactly over your head. The real fun of seeing Aurora is from a little distance. As in Berlevag, Norway they illuminate the horizon with a greenish glow that changes colors quickly and sometimes turn into a faint red, as if the sun was rising from an unusual direction.
