2 . Sharon Holland and her husband, Jer, are travelling around the world and saving money at the same time — by swapping (交换) houses with strangers to keep the bills low. They only have to pay for their flights, meaning they save hundreds of pounds on their holidays each year.
The couple’s occupation (职业) allows them to enjoy long periods of school holidays. Both work as school Deputy Principals,which allows them to take their children, Cian, 23, Miah,13, and Faye, 11, abroad up to four times per year. On average, they pay £1, 250 per year for flights.
Sharon, from Cork, Ireland, has exchanged her home with a stranger 40 times in the last 13 years and says she’s never looked back. She said, “I couldn’t imagine travelling any other way now. Swapping our Irish Georgian farmhouse for another house abroad is amazing. There are home-style houses, modern city apartments and beautiful architectural period houses too. Every holiday is different and staying in someone else’s house makes our experience more rewarding and enjoyable. We are able to meet more locals and understand the culture more than we would if we were to stay at a hotel. We bring our laptops during the summer weeks as we are both responsible for timetabling and school planning but this can be done at a distance.”
Sharon has visited various cities in America, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Spain, Netherlands, the UK and their home country of Ireland. “But our favourite place is Italy. We have been lucky enough to visit there six times. Over the years, every experience has been great — from taking in the architecture to the food. We have made some wonderful happy memories for less,” adds she.

5 . In Yakutia, Siberia, temperatures drop to as low as -71℃. It is actually one of the coldest places on earth. Located a few hundred miles outside the Arctic Circle, The Republic of Sakha, also known as Yakutiya or Yakut-Sakhat, is now the largest republic in Russia.
Fur(毛皮) hats and thick coats are surely required. Thick fur boots, gloves, and anything else to avoid frostbite is highly encouraged.
People of Yakutia are so used to the cold that they even have an open air market where they can shop for meat and fish. The best part is that they don’t need those huge freezers to keep the meat. Sellers remain outdoors for the entire day in the freezing winds.
And if you think there’s no way to have fun in such a tough environment, think again. They love ice fishing and ice swimming. They actually take off all their clothes and put on their swimwear before swimming in the freezing waters.
It’s so cold outside that some people don’t need freezers anymore. Pipes are left outside as well since they cannot be laid out under the ground because of the hard soil. Other people make do with blocks of ice that they cut from the rivers for free water. Toilet duties are handled outside. Just be sure to do everything quickly.
It’s not always freezing as summer can hit +40℃ though it is short and dry. It is among the coldest cities in the world. Visitors need to do a lot of research and preparations before spending a few days in Yakutia, though it certainly is an interesting place to experience!

9 . The best way to see the world’s architectural wonders is to visit them in person, so grab your passport and book a trip to one of these amazing destinations if you have a longing for a spot of building-based bliss (极乐) this year.
Barcelona
Every year millions of people flood to this vibrant (充满活力的) Spanish city to see some of the amazingly unique works of the famous architect Antoni Gaudi. The Temple Expiatori de la Sagrada Familia is the most popular of these and is still being built, in spite of the fact that work began all the way back in 1882.
Monaco
While ultramodern architecture tends to grab all of the headlines, if you are looking for a more traditional type of design that speaks to the wealth of bygone (过去的) eras, Monaco is definitely worth adding to your list. Monte Carlo is undoubtedly the best place to visit if you want to be bathed in the beauty of the coastline it shares with the French Riviera while also seeing some of the most gorgeous hotels that Europe has to offer.
Athens
A lot of ancient architecture stands in the Greek capital, with buildings that have stood for thousands of years still managing to tower over the tourists that visit them. From the impressive, awe-inspiring relics of the Parthenon to temples to various gods including Zeus and Hephaestus, Athens is the place to visit if you are eager to see architecture that is filled with history.
Singapore
In contrast to Monte Carlo, the architecture of Singapore is cutting edge and futuristic, to the point that visitors may feel like they have stepped onto the setting of a science fiction film rather than a living, breathing city. The Helix Bridge is a must-see architectural attraction of Singapore, with its 280-metre-span stretching in an arcing curve and consisting of intertwined (缠绕的) metal strands (金属链) that bring the structure of DNA into mind.
1. What is unique about the Temple Expiatori de la Sagrada Familia?| A．It is modern rather than traditional. |

| C．It is located right in the Greek capital. |
