Is this Spain’s most underrated coast? 🇪🇸👇

We completely left our hearts in Costa Blanca. Most people just rush to the famous big cities, but this region has a magic that we weren’t expecting at all. It is the perfect mix of rich history, hidden fairytale towns, lush tropical nature and pure passion.

We fell so deeply in love with this place that we wanted to share everything with you. Swipe through to discover the exact 8 reasons that stole our hearts, complete with our personal photos, insider tips and exact prices! 🗺️✨

What you’ll find inside:
🏰 The fortress with the ultimate view (& the €2.70 lazy hack)
🏘️ 3 hidden towns you absolutely cannot skip
🦩 Where to find wild flamingos and glitching blue waves
🌴 A tropical oasis filled with world-traveling cacti
💃 The local pub show that transported us to another dimension

P.S. On Slide 13, we gave you a little taste of the food scene. If you want us to create a dedicated food carousel with our exact restaurant recommendations, let us know! 🥘🍦

If you’re in Bucharest these days, this is your sign to slow down and enjoy the city. 🌸✨

Start your day with a walk in Herăstrău Park and don’t miss the Japanese Garden. The cherry blossoms are in full bloom and it’s one of the most beautiful spots in the city right now. 🌸

From there, head towards Arch of Triumph, then take a slow walk on Kiseleff Boulevard.
Take your time here, some of the most beautiful houses are hidden on the small streets nearby.

End the day around Victory Square with a good lunch (or dinner) at 5ENSI.

And if you have more time, don’t miss IOR Park, everything feels alive again, with fresh greenery, ducks and their ducklings, and the perfect excuse to stop for a really good ice cream. 🍦

Sometimes the best travel plans are right in your own city. 🫶🏼

This is the kind of place you remember! ✨

Not in the well-known towns, not in the busy tourist areas, just a quiet, peaceful village you might pass on your way to Navagio Beach Viewpoint. This one felt like a true hidden gem.

We came here for a relaxed lunch and ended up having one of our favourite meals in Zakynthos.

Everything felt simple and real, traditional dishes made with fresh ingredients and recipes that have been around for generations.

We tried a few things, but the lamb and the rabbit were definitely the highlight (and yes… the dessert too 🤍).

If you’re looking to experience a more authentic side of Zakynthos, this is the kind of place you don’t want to miss.

💾 Save this for your trip & don’t just stop at Navagio, there’s so much more to the island.

When you say Zakynthos, everyone thinks Navagio Beach. And yes … it’s stunning! But the island has so much more! 🌊

From long sandy beaches to hidden coves, rocky spots perfect for snorkeling or cliff jumping, there’s truly a spot for every type of traveler.

💾 Save this for your future trip! And remember… in a few months, Zakynthos will look like this again.

2022 → 2026.
Same place. Same two people.

Four years ago we took these photos in Straja without thinking too much about the future. We were just two people enjoying a winter trip in the mountains.

Looking at the photos now, we realised something beautiful:
time passes, places change, we change too… but some things stay the same.

The laughs, the adventures, the way we love discovering the world together.

And honestly, that’s what travelling together has always meant for us:
collecting memories that we’ll be able to look back at years later.

Moments like these remind us why we started travelling in the first place.

📍 Straja, Romania

What place would you visit again in a heartbeat? 🤍

Throwback Thursday to a day that left us in awe 🌿🐘

This experience combined nature, culture, and meaningful encounters and we’d recommend it 100%!

Highlights of the day:
• Scenic drive through rice fields, rivers, and banana plantations
• Ethical elephant sanctuary — feeding, walking, and bathing these gentle giants (always on their terms). Also enjoy the lunch here.
• Twin Pagodas & botanical gardens — a mix of culture and vibrant flora
• Doi Inthanon summit — cool breezes, mist, and a peaceful shrine
• Pha Dok Siew trail — waterfalls, jungle, and rice terraces
• Karen hill tribe village — tasting local coffee & teas and discovering rural life

One of our most memorable experiences in Northern Thailand.✨
Would you add this to your Chiang Mai itinerary? 🙌🏼

Places in Rome we’d go back to… tomorrow. 🍝☕️🍕

Some were recommended by friends, others we found just by wandering the streets with no plans, just curiosity.

But every single one gave us the same feeling: comforting food, warm atmosphere, and that rare moment when you stop feeling like a tourist and start feeling a little bit… at home.

Photos I took in Amsterdam that I consider almost perfect. ✨

Clean lines, cobblestone streets, calm canals and architecture that feels sharp yet timeless. In just a few days, Amsterdam showed me how effortlessly aesthetic a city can be, beauty in the details, everywhere you look. ✨

It’s the kind of place where even a simple walk turns into a photo opportunity and where beauty is found in the everyday.

👉 Share this with the person you’d wander Amsterdam with. 🇳🇱

551 steps later... was it worth it?

We did it and we’d do it again.

At St. Peter’s Basilica Dome, there are two ways up:
🚶‍♂️ 551 steps on foot
🚡 Elevator + 320 steps

We chose the stairs. Not to rush to the top, but to fully experience the climb with the quiet corridors, the curves of the dome, the feeling of Rome slowly opening beneath your feet.

And then, the reward.
A 360° view that takes your breath away.
St. Peter’s Square perfectly unfolding below, the Vatican Gardens tucked behind the walls, and Rome stretching endlessly in every direction.

Up here, the city feels different. Grand. Timeless.
Like a first glimpse of everything Rome is about to give you.

💰 Entrance: €8 (stairs only) | €10 (elevator + stairs)

Would you take the long way up? ✨

Save this for your Rome trip 🇮🇹
