some musings on a week-long trip to Kyrgyzstan 🇰🇬 much too short a time to spend in this beautiful country so i will definitely be back one day ✨📍 footage taken in: Altyn Arashan, Jeti Oguz and the south shore of Issyk-Kul a trip heavily influenced by reading two books a few years ago: The Lost Heart of Asia by Colin Thubron and The Great Game by Peter Hopkirk 📚 both excellent introductions to the history of this fascinating place many thanks to Tynchtyk and Atai of @kyrgyzstan.journey for helping us design our itinerary and being our guides for this trip! #kyrgyzstan #centralasia #slowtravel #naturetravel #adventuretravel by @apeacefulspell

the best way to see Portofino is from the sparkling Ligurian sea ✨🌊 you can do this on a day trip from Genoa by taking a @golfoparadiso ferry across “i due golfi” (Golfo Paradiso and Golfo del Tigullio) 🇮🇹 the journey includes stops at the beautiful Camogli and San Fruttuoso as well! still thinking about this trip almost two years later 🥰#slowtravel #italiantravel #portofino #liguria #sanfruttuoso by @apeacefulspell
