Dear Readers,

With the latest issue of Baltic Panorama, we will travel thousands of kilometres. Our cover story focuses on backpackers and advantages of backpacking. Together with Michał Cichecki, we remember his family journey around the Baltic Sea and discover many fascinating places. We admire Swedish cliffs in the Kullaberg nature reserve, investigate the leisure experiment, the 72 Hour Cabin, and have a peek at the Norwegian first underwater restaurant in Europe.

We announce three great events for summer'18: World Maritime Day Parallel Event 2018, PKO Szczecin Half Marathon, and the Wooded City festival. Fans of sails, sport, and music simply cannot miss them! Music lovers should also appreciate a portrait of a Polish producer, conductor, and composer Radzimir Dębski.

Historians and all those who like impossible stories will surely appreciate the piece on THPV Bembridge, a ship that participated in the Dunkirk evacuation and Normandy landings. For dessert… enjoy a traditional Swedish fermented herring and learn about the phenomenon of this delicacy. I hope Baltic Panorama will surprise you and bring a pleasant moment to relax.
