I was lucky enough to visit Sicily and Taormina, where season 2 was shot exactly 2 years before its premiere, enjoying its landmarks almost entirely to myself. :victory_hand: Taormina is a beautiful, tiny town set on a pretty high elevation, so the views from there are amazing! In general, I recommend Sicily a lot, fantastic food (arancini, cannoli, eggplant in a thousand ways, pistachio sweets - that’s heaven!) and wonderful people. :heart:
And now from something entirely different - my husband is a huge metalhead, so on his request, we visited Finland 2 years ago, and what a fantastic time it was! We were riding bikes through Turku and Helsinki + visited Espoo, where my husband’s favorite band, Children of Bodom, has their own bar. If you’re looking for some beautiful nature and peace, this is definitely a great place to go!

1) My go-to destination for peace and tranquility is Gulmarg. Renowned for its world-class ski resort during the winter, Gulmarg transforms into a breathtaking floral paradise as summer begins. The snow-covered hills give way to vibrant meadows blanketed in white daisies, while lupines rise in colorful spires. Higher up the mountain slopes, an array of wildflowers—many without names—adds to the enchanting beauty of this serene escape.
2) Gurez the hidden gem nestled in the high Himalayas of Kashmir. Surrounded by snow-capped peaks and bisected by the crystal-clear Neelum River , it offers untouched natural beauty, rich cultural heritage, and a tranquil escape from the noise of modern life. Its remote charm, wooden homes, and the warmth of the Dard people make Gurez a peaceful retreat steeped in authenticity.
I’ll +1 the Iceland folks
Below some pics of my travels there…
#2 would probably be Jordan - with places like Petra, Wadi Rum, the Dead Sea, …
Do I see right that you’ve traveled by that Land Lover all along from Austria to Iceland? 😲
yes - it was a 5 week long trip and spectacular.
(I totally still have another two weeks on this one lol)
One of my favourite travel experiences was studying abroad in Xi’An, China for a few months when I was 15. It was really unique to be traveling and continuing to study at the same time. I especially loved exploring both the city of Xi’An and its surrounding mountain areas. I even climbed a bunch of Huashan Mountain, which was absolutely terrifying. I miss it a lot, but not sure when I will make the trip back.
Here’s an assortment of photos. They are blurry and poorly framed because I was an edgy teenager who refused to sit still.
You should definitely come visit Portugal’s beaches! But one I have to mention is Nazaré Beach. The landscape is absolutely breathtaking, and if you’re an adrenaline person, the waves there are seriously huge – some of the biggest in the world! It’s totally worth the trip. There are tons of other awesome places I’d love to recommend, but I’ll save those for another time!
Easiest summer vacation is my homeland Greece and her islands, not much more to ask in terms of serenity and relaxation.
In my bucket list are the following trips:
- Travel to Japan for at least a month on spring - a common trope but I want to see it with my own eyes.
- Journey through UK by car - England, Scotland, Ireland, Whales
- Train Muay Thai in a gym in Thailand, to get in touch with the origin of the martial art.
For me - there’s a small, little-known destination in Western Massachusetts in the small town of North Adams, MA.
If you love visual art and inspiration, add this to your bucket list!
I spent 10 days exploring my own country, Oman
, and what truly amazed me was its astonishing diversity compacted within a single border. One moment you’re surrounded by golden desert dunes under a blazing sun, the next you’re breathing cool, fresh air in rugged mountain ranges, then strolling along serene coastlines with hidden freshwater gems
. The rich tapestry of landscapes desert, mountains, valleys, and coast
I
felt like traveling through many worlds in one trip . And woven through it all is genuine warmth and hospitality from the Omani people, making every place feel alive, authentic, and deeply welcoming
Man, I miss Oman. Had a great time there - would have loved to explore more.
Book your ticket in the upcoming autumn season in Salalah. I am sure you will have an unforgettable experience.![]()
Expo2025 is currently being held in Osaka, where I live.
Before the opening, there was a lot of negative information, such as delays in construction at the venue, rising operating costs, and sluggish advance ticket sales. However, after the opening on April 13, people who actually visited the venue posted many positive impressions on social media. As a result, Expo2025 has become a popular event visited by many people. I also visited the week after the opening, and the Grand Ring, the symbol of Expo2025, left a strong impression on me.
Expo2025 will close on October 13. I would recommend that anyone who visits Osaka before then visit Expo2025.
