Mini Guide to Batad 🇵🇭 Recommended by Lisa & Axel | Travel & photo]

“This place is super special, known for its many rice fields. The culture in the north of the Philippines is different than from the rest of the country. They are very welcoming and super nice! They will always help you and you feel very safe. It is like you are in another world, many live without internet and they are a little bit cut off from the rest off the world. The village is beautiful and there are a lot of hikes and waterfalls around that you can visit!”

Things to Do-

Trek Mount Amuyao & Awa View Deck for aerial views
Stay in a native Ifugao hut
Fuel up on native Ifugao coffee
Join in the locals’ bonfires

Join us on walk through Rome with ⤵️

“We all know that Rome is a magical and romantic city and the best way to appreciate it is walking slowly and enjoying every single moment. This is exactly what I recently did on a sunny morning.
The first photo is a view of the Vatican City and it has been taken from the top floor of Sant'Angelo's Castle in Rome (also called Hadrianeum or Sepulcrum Antoninorum).

Sant'Angelo Castle stands on the right bank of the Tiber River and guards the Ponte Sant’Angelo, one of the principal ancient Roman bridges.

You can visit Castle Sant'Angelo paying a small fee, but if you are lucky you can also visit some “secret” rooms and corridors that are opended just for a few days every year.

Other pictures have been taken inside the castle or outside on the bridge.”

Up close & personal: Duomo di Milano with

“Milan is a very cosmopolitan and unique city, which adopted me almost 2 years ago and has been a blast since. I was astonished by the vibe since the very beginning, walking around the Duomo area and Brera you’ll find the impressive old part of the city together with new and modern buildings such as citylife, G*e Aulenti’s area or Bosco Verticale. You can smell design and modernity everywhere, something I could never live without anymore, and still from time to time I love to climb up the Duomo stairs and stand still on the top of it overlooking the city that gave me so much over the years. Even when the sky is stormy.”

Often overlooked as a meer stopover city, Surat Thani boasts rain forrest, traditional villages, elephant sanctuaries, and exotic markets.

throughlucaslens] shared his story of jungle cruise adventures with us. Where he embarked on an almost 3 hours drive from Khao Lak, a city in the south of Thailand & lesser known by tourists. “I didn't know exactly what to expect when I told the taxi driver that I wanted to take a boat ride through the rivers outside the city to find the tunnel. After a few conversations and a lot of patience it was finally time, a breathtaking adventure to drive through this natural tunnel so far away from the touristic places in Thailand.”

Now that the borders have finally opened up, we are dreaming of Australia’s unique landscapes 😍 recommends Lake MacDonnell, on the west side of the Eyre Peninsula.

“It’s such an amazing place to visit, with the vibrant pinks you can see right across the lake. The one thing that makes this pink lake different to others, is that you have the ability to drive right across it, making for some unique drone shots. Definitely a must visit if you’re crossing southern of Australia.”

From our passport to yours: Shark Bay

From our passport to yours: 🎥@merrwatson 📍Shark Bay, Australia 🇦🇺 “Shark Bay has some of the most interesting abstract landscapes, and not to mention the unique color contrasts from striking red cliffs to turquoise blue waters. I wanted to see what it would look like in person as well as from a birdseye view. So I made the 9-hour road trip out here with my drone to do just that. We took a 4WD car to get to this secluded spot and spent the day admiring its untouched beauty. When the sun began to set, I immediately noticed the colors change and everything around me started to come to life. At that moment, I stopped and became present, appreciating the raw beauty of nature and marveling at the magnificence that surrounded me. The whole scene left me in awe and I immediately knew I wanted to capture that moment with my drone to share the experience with others. That moment taught me the importance of being still. Sometimes, we get so caught up in ‘capturing the moment’ rather than ‘living in the moment’ that we lose out on fully experiencing the place that we’re in."
