This year the festival program is truly impressive! The diverse cast of Flow artists thus far includes Kanye West, the king of new pop music. Q-Tip, the legendary MC from the pioneering hiphop group A Tribe Called Quest, makes his first appearance in Finland, the Swedish songstress Lykke Li and the “Nordic Daft Punk”, Royksopp, display their party-starting electro akin to last year’s successful release “Senior”.

The list of performers is killer. The urban beats will flow from electronic music via indie rock and jazz to world music. Overall the festival’s musical scope is broad. This year, Flow will feature not only great music, but also design, live radio, plus more extensive selection of festival cuisine than ever before. In all these aspects of the festival, Flow’s partners play an important role. In late May and early June, Flow Festival will also take things onto Helsinki city streets.

The Black River Gorges National Park emphasizes 6,574 hectares of wild thick forest in the island of Mauritius. This preserved paradise is also home to over 3000 species of flowering plants and nine species of birds, featuring the famous pink pigeon. The best way to explore the park is on foot, nevertheless it is possible to drive through it and stop for spectacular views along the way.

The whole park is a tremendous network of treks crisscross the jungle. However if you jump into a hiking experience there, it is advisible to check the current state of the trails at the information centre before hiked them. On the other hand you can hire a guide, which can be done via the tourists centre. The main gathering center is at the park’s western entarance about 5 km southeast of Grande River Noire. There is also another one, the Petrin Information Centre, at the eastern side of the park. The boardwalk near the Petrin Information Centre takes you to the heart of the marshy heathland, while keeping your feet dry. At Alexandra Falls, take the trail across the creek to learn more about the dwarf upland forest. People looking for taller trees can explore Macchabee forest west of Petrin or Bel Ombre forest south of Plaine Champagne. During your trekking in the park, there is no where to buy food or drinks, even at the tourist centres. Make sure you bring plenty of waters and energy food.

The Black River Gorges National Park is highly ecological place. It is very important for the endemic birds and the rarest endemic plants to be preserved. Therefore the establishment of BRGNP has been a vital move in the protection of its unique and rich ecosystem and therefore is certainly an important heritage to be preserved for future generations.

Many of the remaining species that still exist in the park are critically endangered and the fact that Mauritian flora is rated amongst the most endangered in the world, the BRGNP warrants favourably for inscription on the World Heritage List. During the years the park became one of the World’s most successful and cost-effective conservation spot with focus on saving the  Mauritius kestrel (Falco punctatus) pink pigeon (Columba mayeri) and echo parackeet (Psittacula eques).

It is possible that your trip will take a full day to fully appreciate this spectacular piece of land, which includes a variety of striking landscapes, in addition to its flora and fauna. At the end of the day most of the tourists prefer to build a camp in the heart of the park, and spend a wonderful night out, stargazinga and chillin with the whole group. However there is another option, if some of you don’t feel them as a wild child. And this is a stay at the Les Pavillons Mauritius, a luxury hotel designed to respect the environment and surroundings of its island home and is set against the backdrop of the striking peninsular Morne Brabant. In most cases your guide is responsible for the transportation to the hotel, but it’s up to you.Spending the night under the sounds of the mother nature is a wondeful challenge.

The best time to visit the park is during the flowering season between September and January. Look for the rare tambalacoque or dodo tree, the black ebony trees and the wild guavas.

The Øya festival is one of the biggest festivals in Norway. It is usually happened in August on the grounds of Middelalderparken (the Medieval Park). The audience reaches about 60.000 people for 4 days and countless others during lots of the preceding club parties and the club night. Each year more than 80 bands played in the park.

The best advantage of the festival is the location – it takes 10 minutes to walk from Oslo S station to the festival area, thus making it possible to forget the trouble of camping, like for many big 4 days events outside cities. The Middelalderparken hosts the ruins of the medieval church Mariakirken , first built in 1050 AD. Due respect for the architectural site, people are not allowed to sit on them. But they certainly contribute to the charm of the location, next to the lake that surrounds the whole area.

The festival is located on four stages and it is for all ages so it is not uncommon to see parents with little kids. It is also a festival offering more than music. A wide area with tents for food, drink, selling gadgets, magazines, clothing from various sponsors. And there’s always some place on the grass where you can relax and catch tan.

The other best thing of this massive gathering is the wide variety of music styles, from the blackest of metals, to the cheesiest pop, hip-hop, mellow rock, jazz, weird experiments, African or South American music.

The Swamp Hut is a glorified camping consisting of four clustered around a central outdoor deck with a fireplace. The main hut is the dinning hut which occupies the south side of the deck to take advantage of views of the woods and the pathway of the sun, since its plywood A-frame roof has no walls and is open to the sky. The so-called “cleansing” hut contains a pantry, storage, and composting toilet. It is situated on the north side of the deck, and is covered with an aluminum roof. The two sleeping huts on the east and west sides of the deck are sheathed in translucent fiberglass.

The site is ostensibly private, framed in hemlock, beech, and cedar trees with tangled wisteria vines shrouding the assemblage in the summer. Abundant wildlife takes refuge in the woods here, including deer, woodchuck, and numerous species of birds.

The camping is surrounded by development — Newton South High School borders it on two sides, with suburban houses on the other two, and the privacy and charm of the project is unexpected. Every time when guests go on a camplike setting like this, they will be able to summon up their childhood memories in this enclave while roasting marshmallows around the open fire. Location: Newton, United States.

Camp Paint Rock is a 110,000-acre private ranch in north-central Wyoming, replete with steep canyons, tall mesas, rushing streams. The camp is build for teen-agers from inner-city Los Angeles. There are 16 buildings in all–clustered around the mouth of a canyon— including boys’ and girls’ cabins, a dining hall, director’s house, counselors’ lodge and stable.

Paint Rock is design seeks to harness the dramatic scale, power and beauty of the Western landscape. Building forms echo the geology and natural forms of the landscape. The roof of the dining hall, for example, is partly inspired by geologic fault lines; the fissures create openings for views up the canyon walls and allow in natural light.

The camp is wonderful for relax, having fun, stargazing due to the fact that has a lot of decks, lookouts and sliding barnlike doors open these light, primitive structures to the skies and breathtaking views. The buildings, with their metal roofs, appear as glinting shards in the bright western sun. Together, they create a kind of neatly fractured community, where each building stands independently but connects through a series of pathways and bridges, thus reinforcing through design the camp philosophy of self-reliance and leadership within an interdependent community.

The camp is established by Frank Lloyd Wright at Ocotillo, successfully capturing the sense of those first moments of settlement and a tentative occupation of the land. Location: Hyattville, United States.

Olympic National Park is located in the U.S. state of Washington. The park consists of three basic regions: the Pacific coastline, the Olympic Mountains, and the lush rainforest. The coastal part of the park is a rugged, sandy beach along with a strip of adjacent forest. The Hoh River has the Hoh people and at the town of La Push. Part of this long beach is covered with sand, whereas others parts with heavy rock and very large boulders. Bushy overgrowth, slippery footing, tides and misty rain forest weather all hinder foot travel.

The western area of the park is the rainforest including the Hoh Rain Forest and Quinault Rain Forest. The whole forest is dominated by dense coniferous timber, including Sitka Spruce, Western Hemlock, Coast Douglas-fir and Western redcedar and mosses that coat the bark of these trees and even drip down from their branches in green, moist tendrils. This side of the park is also home of many species like the Roosevelt elk. Due to this importance, scientists have declared it to be a biological reserve, and study its unique species to better understand how plants and animals evolve.

There are several roads in the park, but none penetrate far into the interior. The park has a network of hiking and biking trails. An unusual feature is the opportunity for backpacking along the beach. The length of the coastline in the park is sufficient for multi-day trips, with the entire day spent walking along the beach. During winter, the popular viewpoint known as Hurricane Ridge offers alpine and Nordic skiing opportunities.

Other activities are backpacking, beach hiking, camping, fishing, flora gazing, horseback riding, mountaineering, photography, snowshoeing, star gazing and wildlife watching. A variety of ranger led programs are offered throughout the summer at a number of sites around the park. Olympic National Park is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Most roads remain open year round, although several are subject to winter closure because of snow. Most visitors come to the park from July through September, December and January are the quietest months.

Chi Phat is a beautiful village in the remote province of Koh Kong, near the Thai border in southwestern Cambodia. There is a dozen of foreigners sat down to a communal dinner of chicken curry and plenty of activities from fishing, bird-watching at sunrise, mountain biking across rocky streams, swimming in waterfalls to fending off rain forest leeches. Villages like Chi Phat had little contact with the outside world. A lack of infrastructure gives least-explored terrain and a region remained virtually forbidden to outsiders.

Unfortunately new roads now penetrate the jungle and scale the hills. New bridges traverse the area’s numerous rivers. And as Cambodia has achieved a level of political stability, a small but diverse array of Western-run accommodations featuring the makeshift restaurant in Chi Phat has opened in the last few years, catering to both backpackers and the well-heeled.

However thanks to this new accessibility travelers can now discovering the area’s biodiversity, which includes one of Southeast Asia’s largest tracts of virgin rain forest. The region of Koh Kong covers 4,300 square miles, but the charms of Cambodian rural life are readily apparent in Chi Phat, home to about 2,500 people. The village is nestled in the Southern Cardamom Mountains, up the mangrove- and bamboo-lined Preak Piphot River. Wooden houses on stilts, towering palms, children wearing navy blue and white uniforms hanging out on the backs of water buffalo in neon green rice fields.

Last year, Chi Phat welcomed 1,228 visitors, according to the alliance, an increase of nearly 50 percent from 2009. Residents are receiving much-needed income that allows them to reside year-round in the village, allowing their children to go to school and get to health care. On trips organized by the Community-Based Eco-tourism office, visitors can trek through fields filled with canary yellow and electric blue butterflies to reach bat caves hidden behind curved waterfalls, or plant a tree at a reforestation nursery. Recent visitors reportedly caught a glimpse of a few of the area’s roughly 175 endangered elephants.
