Bissau is the capital and largest city of the West African country of Guinea-Bissau, located in the tropical lowlands on the Atlantic coast, and is the political, economic and cultural center of the country. As an important port during the Portuguese colonial period, Bissau retains colonial architectural styles, such as old fortresses and churches, while integrating native African cultures to form a unique and diverse landscape. The city's economy is based on fishing, agricultural trade and light industry, but development is challenged by poor infrastructure. The average annual temperature in Bissau is about 27℃, hot and humid in the rainy season and cool in the dry season. Although the tourism resources have not been fully developed, its pristine natural scenery and simple folklore attracts a small number of backpackers. As the gateway city to Guinea-Bissau, Bissau plays an important role in regional logistics and cultural exchanges.
Sevan is a small town in the Armenian province of Gegharkunik, located in the eastern part of the country on the shores of Lake Sevan, about 66 kilometers from the capital city of Yerevan.

Lake Sevan is surrounded by magnificent landscapes and crystal clear waters, making it an important tourist and recreational destination in Armenia. The town boasts historical monuments such as the Sevan Monastery, a 9th-century monastery situated on a peninsula overlooking the lake, which attracts many tourists and pilgrims.

It is an ideal starting point for exploring the nature and history of the Caucasus and is easily accessible for short trips.
