One of the most unforgettable experiences you can gift yourself! No pictures does a safari/game drive justice 🥹 seeing these animals interact in their own habitat is truly priceless!

Took me 40 years and so grateful to have finally made it to experience it🙏🏻🥹

It’s never too late to chase your dreams✨

Stayed @fsserengeti in the Central Serengeti and @asanjaafrica Nyasirori in the western corridor! Both offer unique sightings and complementary experiences worth checking out!

📍Serengeti Nationa Park, Tanzania 🇹🇿

I usually spend way too much time figuring out what to do in a destination, so in Tulum I let my @RayBanMeta AI glasses plan the day for me 😎

I asked for recommendations and followed the itinerary:

✨ Explore a unique museum experience
💦 Cool off in a cenote
🌴 Lunch by the beach
🌅 Sunset drinks with a view

Along the way, I used them to snap photos, film videos hands free, translate a menu, and get recommendations whenever I needed them.

Honestly, they made exploring Tulum a lot easier than I expected and so excited to keep using them on my future trips.

Comment “train” to send you the link and add this epic train journey to your bucket list! 🚂

@thecanyonspirit is the only glass dome luxury train in the USA and it takes you through some of the most beautiful parts of the American Southwest from the Rockies to the Red Rocks!😍🏜️

The route goes from Denver to Salt Lake City over 3 days with hotel night stays in Moab and Glenwood Springs or vice versa.

You don’t sleep on the train and your luggage is transferred for you so it’s waiting in your hotel room. You also get time to explore each city along the way including Arches National Park.

Onboard you can enjoy the comfortable panoramic seats, the lounge car area with games, piano, open bar and snacks anytime you want, and à la carte meals made with locally sourced ingredients served right at your seat.

The season runs from April to October, so save it because it’s a one of a kind experience you won’t regret!

Only 2hrs away from London you’ll find the most beautiful countryside villages and all shades of red during fall 😍

The Cotswolds truly look like a fairytale and you should make it a must-visit destination on your journey through England!

You could visit some villages on a day trip from London but I’d recommend spending at least a weekend like I did! These are some of the villages I got to visit that you should not miss!

They are all quite small and some very close to the others so you can visit each in a few hours and get to see 3-4 per day!

I visited by car as the public transportation in these areas don’t seem to be frequent, with a car is easier to explore around.

Add this cave restaurant to your bucket list!

I had read so many mixed reviews that I was not sure whether to try it or not and I have to say I was not dissapointed.

Yes it is pricey, with a 3 course dinner starting at €250 p/p without drinks, but the view, service and unique setting makes the experience worth it in my opinion. Indeed the food is not the most amazing I’ve had but we did not find it awful like some reviews I had read. I would recommend it if you want a unique dining experience.

Tips:

-Make sure to reserve in advance as they sell out in advance
-Reserve the earlier time slot to experience both sunset and evening colors, slots are for 2 hours but we were never asked to leave within that timeframe
-I read front tables are reserved for guests of the hotel but I called and was told is first come first serve basis, I arrived 15 mins in advance and was lucky enough to get it

Would you pay this price to try it out?

My honest review of one of the most viral hotels in Greece 👀 @calilo_ios

I kept seeing this place all over social media and honestly had to see if it was actually as crazy in real life as it looks online!

Private pools, caves, hanging beds, insane suites and so many details throughout the property.

So would you stay here?

This is one of the most beautiful hotels on the Amalfi Coast 😍 Miramalfi Hotel

From its cliffside beach club, amazing food, personalised elevated service, and thoughtful little touches that make all the difference: such as chilled water and Evian face spray by the pool, a Dyson hairdryer in your room 👀

It’s the kind of place that makes it hard to leave… even with the Amalfi Coast outside 😮‍💨
