“Hot town summer in the city, back of my neck getting dirt and gritty” – Joe Cocker said it all in just two simple lines. You know it’s summer when it feels like the Sun is going to melt Earth’s surface, when the heat pops out of every corner on the street and when the most used words in your vocabulary are “beach” and “fun”. Summer always brings new routines, flavors and rhythms so make sure to get out there, explore, grasp every possible beauty you see around and make sure to keep and nurture it.

You don’t have to go by the book: stay at home when heat is unbearable, Sundays are beach days and afternoons are reserved for a backyard snack, a glass of wine or a fresh colorful cocktail. The world is offering so many opportunities that are waiting to be grabbed and I’m sure there must be at least one that is right for each and every one of us. So along the countless days and endless nights of summer you’ll eventually find yourself stuck with your thoughts in the middle of nowhere: where do I go? What do I do? Aside from hot and easy, summertime can be pretty boring at times. But don’t despair because that’s when the internet steps in and shares useful information with all the desperate boys and gals out there for the ultimate summer adventure. Here’s our humble list of not so humble things you should do this summer:

Feel Like Flying While Scuba Diving

Have you ever had the courage to experience the beauty of scuba diving? The exciting moment before you get into the blue, the natural music of the ocean’s depths and the oh so beautiful underwater world. You can do all of this and later brag to your friends about it, because it will be the experience of a lifetime…we promise. But of course, if you don’t want anything to go wrong (a shark attack!?), look for all the dive gear you can find, because you’ll need it for a safe and sound journey into the deep. Don’t forget the wetsute and the gas that will help you breathe, a pair of fins and a few of the most useful pieces of dive gear like an underwater flashlight or an underwater camera to capture all the beauty. Dive in, swing with that finn and make the underwater magic begin.

Let The Beast In You Have Some Fun

Find a music festival around your area and go have some serious fun. Besides listening to awesome music, dancing like crazy and probably seeing one of your favorite music artists, music festivals are the perfect place to meet cool new people all over the country and the world. With so many summer festivals these days, you’ll easily find the one that suits your music taste the most. And don’t be shy, let the groove make your body move! Great music and great people are always the perfect recipe for memories of a lifetime.

Road Trippin’ With Your Favorite Allies

Can you think of anything to which you can compare the joy of summer vacation days? You, your best friends, a loaded car with snacks and drinks and a ticket to anywhere around the country. Be like the guy from Red Hot Chili Pepper’s song and get lost, enjoy and give yourself a little piece of mind. We all need to disconnect from boring everyday chores and monotone reality from time to time. Feel free to spoil yourself this summer and hit the road without thinking too much. “It’s time to leave this town, it’s time to steal away!”
