Mexico’s cenotes are a highlight for many travelers. The Yucatán Peninsula in east Mexico in particular has many beautiful cenotes to discover. 🇲🇽💚

Cenotes are famous for their strikingly clear water which comes from the rain water, which is slowly filtered through the ground.

Btw, you can swim in many of the cenotes, and in some of them you can even go diving, or perhaps just marvel over from the outside.🤩🙌

Have you been to Provence, France? 🇫🇷💜

During the month of July, we traveled from the French Riviera to Provence and enjoyed a fantastic 7 days exploring this area. 🤗

We ate burrata overlooking the sea, hunted sunrises and sunsets, enjoyed tasting cheeses and hunted lavender fields and sweet little towns. 🥰

• Our favorite place to visit and photograph lavender fields is Valensole.

• The best time to visit the lavender field is from the end of June to the end of July.

• One of the most popular lavender fields for photography is Lavandes Angelvin, while other fields and coordinates you have in the reels option.

• The best time to take photos is definitely sunrise, and also during sunset. During the afternoon, it can be quite warm, as well as quite crowded.

• The best starting point for exploring Provence is Aix en Provance.

• Our favorite town in Provence is Gordos.

ARUBA is an Island full of adventure! 🇦🇼🙌🤩

There’s more to an Aruba vacation than just sitting under a palm tree and sipping on a pina colada, although that would make a great trip. 🌴🥥

You can go snorkeling, learn how to kitesurf, explore its many beaches, and take a 4×4 through ancient ruins.

Regardless of which kind of getaway you decide to have, Aruba is an incredible island to escape to get away from the everyday stresses of life.

Aruba is a year-round destination, but the best time to visit is from April to August. This is considered off-season, meaning you will get a great deal on a hotel room, the temperatures are higher, and the sun is always shining. 🌞

Aruba is a Dutch island where locals speak Dutch, Papiamento, English and Spanish. The culture is fascinating and truly unique and, of course, it’s all about the beaches! 🏖️

Like many islands in the Caribbean Sea, Aruba has stunning beauty. With blue beaches, turquoise water and amazing weather all year round, this amazing island is worth a trip.

Although it is a small Island, there is a lot to explore and experience. The sun-drenched capital, Oranjestad, has a rich history dating back to the eighteenth century, as well as some cool modern culture.

Be sure to visit the Bon Bean Festival on Tuesdays and stay dancing all night in some of the city’s hottest nightlife destinations.

When you're ready to explore further, it's all about the ABC Islands - Aruba, Bonaire, and Curacao. This magical trio has some of the most beautiful beaches in the world.

Exploring Old San Juan, Puerto Rico 🇵🇷

For starters, breakfast at Cafe Don Ruiz is a must. It is an institution on the gourmet scene of Puerto Rico - it serves world-class coffee and their most famous pastry, Mallorca.😊

The first stop should be El Castillo San Felipe del Morro, better known as El Morro. Built in the 1500s as a military structure, it is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most picturesque destinations in all of Puerto Rico.

After El Morro, get lost in the colorful streets. Our favorite street of all time is Calle San Justo. Beautiful historic buildings in all colors of the rainbow line the street, and at the ends is a beautiful view of the sea. It's a super photogenic and essential "Old San Juan".

The last stop of the day should be Senor Palette on artisanal ice cream made from fresh coconut. It is SO good and definitely a must when you visit Old San Juan in one day.

• If possible, book transportation in advance.

5️⃣ Booking your trip

You are ready to book the trip!

• Transportation - Use search engines like Skyscanner or Kiwi to find the most affordable options.

• Accommodation - Research the best area to stay in. Use websites like Booking and Airbnb to find good deals.

6️⃣ Plan Out Your Arrival

• Buy yourself a local SIM card at the airport so you can use apps like Google Maps, taxi services, translation, etc.

• Pre-plan your route to accommodation and make sure you have its contact details.

• Download an offline map of your first destination.

• Exchange money to be sure you always have some cash available.

• Learn some basic local phrases.

Top Things to do in Monteverde, Costa Rica! 👇

Monteverde, is a lush, ecologically diverse area high in the mountains. It's popular destination for those who want to enter nature and enjoy everything that this area has to offer, from rare and unique cloud forests to ziplining and coffee tasting.

Monteverde is a unique place, and if you ask us, it shouldn't be missed during a trip through Costa Rica! 💚

Drive along a beautiful winding road through the mountains, brings you to a tiny little hilltop town, Santa Elena. Here you will find many hotels and restaurants, making Santa Elena a great base to explore the incredible nature of Monteverde.

Stroll through the paths of the rainforest, listen to the song of exotic birds and the sound of tropical frogs croaking in the background. Enjoy all the top things in Monteverde!

Things to see/do in Monteverde:

1. Monteverde Cloud Forest

Visiting the cloud forest is one of the most popular things in Monteverde. This is mainly due to its rare and unique character (cloud forests make up only 1% of all forests Worldwide!). Due to the high altitude, these types of forests are named after the low cloud and fog that creeps in between the trees. It also means that they are a refuge for many species of wild animals.

As you explore the forest, you’ll discover fascinating flora and fauna, hanging bridges as in La Fortuna, a waterfall, as well as hundreds of species of birds, mammals, reptiles, butterflies, and insects.

2. La Reserva Bosque Nuboso, Santa Elena

Another alternative is Santa Elena cloud forest which is equally beautiful but much quieter. It’s home to 13km of trails which you can use to explore the fantastic diversity of plant life and animal species

Planning a trip is an exciting part of the upcoming travel adventure. But there’s a lot of stuff to think about and It can be stressful and time-consuming.

By following these steps you’ll be on your stress-free holiday before you know it! 🙌😊

1️⃣ PLAN A TRIP BUDGET

The very first and the most important thing you have to do is to decide how much money you want to spend on your next adventure. Your travel budget will have a big impact on your trip planning (it will decide where you can go and for how long)

On a smaller budget, visit countries that are cheaper to travel in. Shorten your holiday to be able to visit more expensive ones. Alternatively, spend less on flights and travel by car or train by having a vacation close to home.

2️⃣ CHOOSE A DESTINATION

When you set your budget, the next thing to decide is which country you will be traveling to. Make that decision by answering these quick questions:

What kind of trip you want to plan - Adventure, relaxation, culture, food, etc.

What time of the year you want to travel - Chances are you've probably reserved some free time. Think about the seasons and which country is best to visit at that particular time of year.

What are the Visa requirements - it’s very important to check the visa requirements!

3️⃣ LOCATION RESEARCH

Research is key when planning a trip, especially when you are planning to travel around a country. Use the following resources to do your research:

Plan a trip using Pinterest and Instagram – Those are excellent ways of finding blogs and photo inspiration for destinations. Search for your destination using the hashtags or the search bar. This is a great way to find hidden gems that you otherwise might not find out about.

Use travel blogs and guides to plan a trip - Read, read, read! Using travel blogs and travel guides on the internet is a great way to develop ideas of what you want to see in a certain country.

5 Best Things To Do in Luxor, Egypt 👇

Luxor is the world’s greatest open-air museum, containing well-preserved tombs, monuments, and temples. However, its biggest draw is that it is home to the tomb of the world-famous pharaoh Tutankhamun! The ancient city sits on the banks of the River Nile and is, undoubtedly, one of the most important archaeological sites in Egypt. It is a must-see on any Egypt itinerary, easily outshining Egypt’s capital Cairo. As a result, it’s likely to become a favorite on your Egypt Travel Itinerary.

1. Valley of the Kings

The Valley of the Kings is an area of mountainous terrain, with over 60 tombs. Underground corridors, with incredible ancient wall paintings, lead the way towards the tombs of some of the greatest Egyptian pharaohs. It’s best to visit early for a few reasons. Firstly, to skip the group tours, and secondly, to avoid walking out in the sun when it’s hot.

2. Colossi of Memnon
The Colossi of Memnon are two massive 18-meter high stone statues, each carved from one single block of sandstone. They’ve been battered for over 3,400 years by wind, sun, and water. As a result, they are no longer in the best condition. They are located west of Luxor city and are well worth a quick pit stop while traveling to the Valley of the Kings.

3. Karnak Temple, Luxor
The morning sunlight shimmers across the massive columns, and hieroglyphs, of the majestic Karnak Temple!

4. Dier el-Bahari
A must-see in Luxor is the enormous Temple of Queen Hatshepsut! The temple, set against a desert backdrop, is located near the Valley of the Kings. The temple, built from platforms and pillars, has impressive sloping steps, which take you up through the levels.

5. Luxor Temple
Standing in the shadows of Luxor Temple, allows you to step back in time and learn about a crucial part of history. Interestingly, many important former kings had their coronations at this location. The temple, located on the east bank of the Nile, tells a fascinating story: One of the granite obelisks standing at the entrance has been moved to Paris and is now standing at Place de la Concorde.

7 Best Things To Do in Cairo, Egypt 👇

1.The Pyramids and Great Sphinx of Giza

Pyramids are royal tombs, and Egypt counts 138 of them! Discoveries, like mummies, are still done in this area.The Great Sphinx of Giza is a giant limestone statue showing a mythical creature with the head of a human and the body of a lion. The iconic symbol of Egypt and a real must-see while visiting Egypt.

2. Wander at the world’s oldest open-air market

Experience the sounds and smells at one of the world’s oldest open-air markets. The Khan El-Khalili souk is a maze filled with spices, food, clothing, leather bags, jewelry, and antiques.

3. Get a real Egyptian meal on Gezira Island

Gezira Island is the coolest neighborhood in Cairo. Young, creative Egyptians occupy the area. The authentic buildings with galleries surrounded by the water of the Nile River is a calm escape from the busy city life on the mainland. Visiting Gezira is one of the best things to do in Cairo.

4. Mosque of Ibn Tulun – surprising thing to do in Cairo

In the middle of a non-touristy neighborhood surrounded by dusty roads is one of the most beautiful mosques of Cairo, the Ibn Tulun Mosque. A large mosque still having all its old details.

5. Back in time at the Egyptian Museum

The Egyptian Museum is home to the world’s greatest collection of ancient Egyptian artifacts. You can even see real preserved mummies in the mummy. It is a highly recommended thing to do in Cairo. Plan about spending 2 – 4 hours in the museum.

Pro tip: Visit in the afternoon, tickets are cheaper and it is less crowded.

6. The Hanging Church

Built on top of an ancient Roman fortress is the reason why it is named ‘The Hanging Church’. The Roman church with beautiful ornaments and mosaic paintings is still in use. In fact, 10% of the population in Egypt is Christian.

7. The Mosque of Muhammad Ali

The impressive limestone mosque is a beautiful site to visit for a couple of hours and has a view overlooking the entire city.

Thinking of visiting Iceland in the winter?
❄️🤩
You will not be disappointed. Winter in Iceland is an adventure you will never forget. While Iceland is a beautiful country whatever time of year, winter in Iceland is magical.

Rather than the landscape being buried under snow it somehow seems to be enhanced by it. Waterfalls are cloaked with icicles, a golden light seems to always be present and the snow and ice make this prehistoric land look even more mystical.

There is no need to be worried about visiting Iceland in the winter, as long as you are flexible with your plans and check the weather forecast before you travel anywhere, you will have a safe and enjoyable trip.

Is Winter A Good Time To Visit Iceland?

In our opinion, there is no bad time to visit Iceland and it really depends on what you want to do while in Iceland and the type of holiday you prefer. If you decide to spend the winter in Iceland you are likely to find it cheaper and less crowded, which is a great advantage.

However, the real advantage of spending winter in Iceland is you having a greater chance of seeing the northern lights. You might even find yourself snow hiking, visiting ice caves, or bathing in the warm geothermal pools.

Winter in Iceland is a unique, unforgettable experience. ❄️👌

Still don't know which tropical destination to choose?
Let me help you 😊

Aruba vs Curaçao: Which Dutch Caribbean Island Is Right for You? 🤩

If you’re reading this post, it’s most likely because you have a tough decision to make: Aruba or Curaçao?

Let me start by clarifying that both of these destinations are 100% worth a visit. In fact, these two islands are part of the ABC islands (Aruba, Bonaire Curaçao), and due to their proximity, you could easily see Aruba and Curaçao in one trip. However, most people are limited on time and/or budget!

Curaçao is a hidden gem - Since Aruba is more visited by Americans and is more attached to them than Curaçao, which has the most tourists from the Netherlands. Curaçao is less crowded than Aruba. So if you don't like crowds then Curaçao is the choice.

Depending on the type of vacation you want to have, Aruba can be positive or negative. As I mentioned, the Americans make up a larger tourist group, which means that this island is more "touristy".
But it is possible to escape from the tourist part of Aruba and explore the local culture.

Aruba could easily be a great option for a honeymoon or family vacation. If you want a relaxing beach holiday, you will love Aruba. However, if you prefer to explore new cultures and history, then Curaçao is ideal for you.

While Oranjestad in Aruba is full of shopping malls, shopping and hotels, Willemstad is full of history. Walking along the Queen Emma Bridge, you will be greeted by a stunning panorama of lively buildings. Willemstad is a city on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

Since Aruba and Curaçao are so amazing to visit, it is difficult to choose just one.
No matter which island you choose, you will surely have a phenomenal vacation.

Which island would you visit?

THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE YOUR TRIP TO LAPLAND 👇

Best time to visit Lapland: November to March. The peak snow season in Lapland usually occurs in late January.
The best time to visit is to see the northern lights: from mid-August to early April. The best chances to see it is the beginning and end of the season. Although we saw Aurora in early January two nights in a row, two years ago.🤩
Finland is one of the safest countries in the world.
Language: Everyone speaks English so you don’t have to worry too much about the language barrier
Rent a car: I highly recommend renting a car with AWD for snow driving.

HOW TO GET TO LAPLAND 👇

The easiest way is to go to Helsinki and then catch a domestic flight to any of the airports in Lapland. The most popular airports in Lapland are Ivalo, Kitila and Rovaniemi.
The main tourist areas are Rovaniemi, Kitila and Ivalo (Saariselka), due to the accessibility of nearby airports. It is best to fly to Ivalo and stay in Saariselka because of the glass cabin houses. Also because it is the northernmost city, in order to maximize your chance to see the northern lights (Aurora). In addition, Kittila also looks pretty cool, but she doesn't have a glass house. Rovaniemi seems too touristy to me.

The temperature is in winter ranges from -10C to -30C, and if it is windy then it can be much colder than it actually is. Keep in mind that the coldest months are December and January. ❄️❄️

TODAY IT IS NECESSARY

Vaccination certificate + a PCR test required
Confirmation of the recovery + a PCR test is required

Save for you next trip 😊

Guess what? Travel doesn’t mean you have to spend a lot of 🤑🤑🤑 Here are some of ours favourite ways to SAVE money while traveling ⬇️

1. This is the is big: pick destinations where you can get by on a cheap daily budget! This means doing your research! Using blogs that break down destination costs that I shared here like nomadicmatt.com, and have lots of free activities by researching on Pinterest.

2. Stay in hostels! Use hostelworld.com to find hostel dorms that are cheap, highly-rated by other travelers, and have perks like free breakfast and walking tours.

3. Use Google.com/flights to find deals by picking dates with the cheapest and return flights. ✈️

4. Only bring a carry-on! This saves on baggages fees and your luggage won’t get lost, typically a 45L backpack is an appropriate carry on size for airlines although some also have weight requirements.🎒

These prices are if you are traveling on a shoestring backpackers budget! It doesn’t always mean the easiest or most comfortable travel. And it’s travel for early 20s.

Top 6 Instagrammable spots in LA you WON'T want to miss.⬇️⬇️⬇️ Save this post for later! 1. Famous Pink Wall You’ve probably seen this wall at some point in your life on Instagram, and that’s because it’s one of the most popular Instagram spots in LA! Pretty much every day it’s full of people taking pictures, but if you go at the right time (like early morning) you should be able to get some good shots without anyone in them! 📍Find it at: Paul Smith, 8221 Melrose Avenue 2. RED LOVE WALL All you need is love…am I right? This spray painted red wall is one of the most Instagrammable places in LA for snapping some photos with your one true love, but it’s also a cute backdrop for selfies or pics with your gal pals! 📍Artist: Curtis Kulig Address: 8538 Hayden Ave, Culver City, CA 90232 3. Palm street The palm tree-lined streets of Beverly hills are especially Instagrammable because the streets are so manicured and you can get a glimpse of some really, really amazing houses, McMansions. The ones around Hollywood and Griffith Park are some of the best Instagram spots in LA because you also get an amazing view of the hillside, and sometimes even a glimpse of the famous Hollywood sign. 4. Griffith observatory If you only stop at one place on this list, the Griffith Observatory is a must, it has to be one of the most Instagrammable places in LA. Once you get to Griffith Observatory you’ll be greeted with a panoramic view of LA. If you’re looking for a Los Angeles skyline photo location, put the observatory on your list! 5. Hollywood walk of fame Yeah, so it may be the most touristy AF place in LA (and locals definitely avoid it)…but I mean, the place attracts 10 million visitors a year for a reason, and is therefore one of the most Instagrammable places in LA. 6.
