Spending a week in Lake Como, Italy felt like we were the stars in a romantic movie

https://www.reddit.com/gallery/vow7rt

is the movie Attack of the Clones?

Went to the Verdon Gorge in France today and kayaked in this gorge-ous water (see what I did there)

It's a beautiful place to go. Been there about 40 years ago. This picture is as I remember it.

The amazing view from my Airbnb's bedroom window on the south island of New Zealand, the most beautiful place I've ever been

Vernazza, Cinque Terre, Italy. The walk from city to city in Cinque Terre is incredible.

Manarola is my favorite!

$240 USD for a bike to travel across Vietnam. Money well spent

I ended up buying mine, and giving it to my favorite waiter in Luang Prabang 5000kms later. Before he'd have to ride his bicycle 20kms from his small village to work to help support his family. Always had a smile and wanted to help no matter how tough his life was, I was more than happy to help.

Guilin area of China has to have some the best sunsets I've seen in a while!

Meanwhile in Hyrule...

It's a long way up but the view is worth it, the Vatican, Rome

The trip to the top of the dome is an absolute must.

I got to visit Kauai last month, and was beyond stoked to visit the island where they filmed Jurassic Park (my favorite childhood movie and my first novel). Needless to say, the views didn't disappoint

Kjeragbolten, really cool place to see in Norway

I feel like I would be the unlucky person on it when it dislodges

The Soca River in Slovenia

SLO really is one of the more magical places I've been in Europe. Food like Italy and scenery like Switzerland. People are so nice.

The Great Wall at Winter

An unusually clear blue sky, very nice!

Had a positive experience in Egypt

Yellowstone National Park is awesome

I remember one particularly amazing bison jam, this little guy came over and licked the dead bugs off a bumper right next to us. 10/10 best car wash. I love Yellowstone.

My phone pic: Ushguli, Georgia 🇬🇪 (not easy to get there, but I'll tell you how)

The Narrows in Zion National Park | It was 105F/41C outside the canyon, but we couldn't tell.

Best hike I've ever been on. Saw a few posts about the Narrows here, but thought this would give a good sense of the depth of the river. For those planning to go, definitely recommend renting water shoes and neoprene socks from a local company. We went with only water shoes, and scraped our ankles a few times. Definitely need closed toe shoes. A walking stick is also a must: the bottom of the Virgin River is rocky; you will lose your balance throughout the hike. Bring a coat; it was 105F/41C outside the canyon, but was cool inside the canyon. Lastly, there will be a ton of people in the summer, but the crowd will thin out as you go further up the river. Plan for a 6-7 hour hike with plenty of time for picture-taking.

Breakfast with a view over Punakha, Bhutan. Before spending a week there, I was afraid Bhutan was overhyped - it's not.

Bhutan overhyped? We're getting one post a year here about the place...

Spending the holidays in Paris with the family and this is the view from our apartment.

After years of learning about the Roman Empire, I finally made it to the Colosseum. It did not disappoint

Been in Rome three times myself and this here is the nicest picture of the Colosseum I have seen before.

This is Old Man of Storr, Isle of Skye, Scotland. One of my best trips so far. It literally felt like I was walking to Mordor

Skye is amazing. Honestly have never been wandering a place where I could not stop smiling. Just the feeling of overwhelming happiness when I was there is indescribable

Switzerland border - from my road trip last week

This mountainside onsen near Nagano, Japan is often visited by snow monkeys.

I can't be the only one who combed over this photo looking for monkeys.

I also just finished a 9 day Ring Road trip around Iceland while living out of a van, here's one of my favorite pics from the trip.

Where is this and how'd you get there! I've never seen a picture like this

Acropolis,Athens in Grece.My favorite picture from my latest trip.

First Christmas solo travelling, but look at that view. Guatapé, Colombia

It really is. I haven’t been to Toledo, Ohio but I don’t need to either to know Spain has it better.

My trip to north sudan

https://www.reddit.com/gallery/jyrgbu

Does anyone here no matter where they are, stop for a second and just imagine the people that walked the same roads you do on a daily bases. People from many many years ago, I find it interesting that perhaps a king/queen or a royal of some sort walked the same roads as I do now.

As a Brit, I think it's time for a road trip

Venice, Italy in October 2020. No cruise ships ans much less tourists in total. A very relaxing and nice experience.

https://www.reddit.com/gallery/j5k490

I was there October 2019, very very different then

Purposefully booked an 8hr layover at JFK to explore the TWA Flight Center. Such amazing space from the design to the architecture.

https://www.reddit.com/gallery/vie8o9

Trans World Airlines was founded in 1930 and became one of the major US carriers of the mid-20th century. The terminal at JFK was built in 1962 and acted as a primary hub until acquired by American Airlines in 2001. Designed by architect Eero Saarinen, the original 60s building has been restored and now houses a hotel, rooftop pool, airplane cocktail lounge, outdoor skating rink, museum exhibit and several cafes and restaurants. We had an 8hr layover here and didn't get bored once. Definitely a design / architecture / aviation bucket list item ✈️

A picture I took during my trip to Positano, Italy in December

This is one of my dream locations, I would love to visit and tour Italy! Venice has always been a dream ever since reading the book, “The Thief Lord”.

Visited my favorite place in Germany for the third time

https://www.reddit.com/gallery/y8bkdz

You really buried the lead here, I see the description for the area/hike but what is the lake called? Was it as busy as the other trails closer to Munich and Salzburg? (I remember difficulty finding parking on weekends when I would go for hikes lol).

We had a picnic by the Rhein river last weekend. I love Germany in the spring!

Can I ask where abouts? :) We sat by the Rhine last year in Cologne. Lovely pic.

I quit my job, sold my stuff and drove from Alaska to Argentina - 2 years, 17 countries. This is the perfect "overland" trip for beginners!

The view of Cotopaxi volcano in Ecuador, from my hostel rooms tiny window.

Secret Garden Cotopaxi!! The view from the toilet is even better :)

Wasn’t expecting to find views like this in San Antonio, Texas

Do yourselves a favor and drive the "Mission Trail", which is a string of locations about 5-10 miles apart where historic missions still stand. A couple even still have portions of the original aqueducts (like in this photo).

First time leaving the United States. Interlaken, Switzerland. Truly breathtaking.

*underlines Switzerland furiously on bucket list*

Second time visiting Petra and it was just as beautiful and amazing the second time around. Hiked over 10 miles, fed a stray dog, rode a camel back to the entrance and ripped my jeans getting off the camel lol 10/10 will def be back next year to explore areas I couldn’t get to

It seems you have chosen...wisely.

Rent a car in Scotland and get lost in the Highlands. It's worth it [Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park]

Pro-tip: don't run out of petrol...

Walk into Lauterbrunnen valley, picture taken from Wengen. Simple breathtaking!

https://imgur.com/mJRxixj

As we descended from Jungfraujoch on our scenic train journey (and from the highest training station in Europe), we decided to stop off in Wengen and walk into Lauterbrunnen where we had parked. This turned out to be one of the most spectacular walks I've ever done! So quiet and the views were something else

Spent the days between Christmas and New Year in the Whitsundays. This is Whitehaven Beach

How gorgeous! Great way to unwind after the stress of Christmas.

The Cloud Forest - Singapore

The image looks so futuristic. This tourist attraction has a pretty high review score on Google, 4.7. What was the best thing you saw there, OP?

Four weeks in Japan. Mt Fuji, Kyoto, a little bit of Nara and Osaka

Your photography (perhaps, moreso your cinematography in this case) is so remarkable and it is exhibited so well in these shots. Seriously. This is my first comment on reddit for a while, and my first comment in this subreddit and I had to say it. This post is truly so captivating and it makes me so nostalgic about my recent trip to Japan. I hope you had an amazing time there :)

Switzerland's gorgeous Aare Gorge. Finding yourself at the bottom of a canyon surrounded by the Alps is worth a sight!

https://www.flickr.com/photos/noaceulemans/37986719021/

The Aare Gorge is a lovely little visit not far from the alpine town of Meiringen, in canton Bern. Easily reached by car, and then you can walk down the wooden walkways on foot. About a 45min visit all in all! [Here's another angle further into the canyon](https://www.flickr.com/photos/noaceulemans/37335136960/).

Prague - my favorite city

https://www.reddit.com/gallery/xidk2a

Love Prague, one of my top cities for sure

Palácio de Cristal, Madrid - Retiro Park

Such a beautiful park!

Started raining when I was touring the Tower of London. While everybody ran to safety, I snapped this picture. For some reason I am genuinely proud of this one.

That’s a beauty. Kinda goth.

Went to Egypt and it was just as terrible yet gorgeous as everyone described

Went to Cairo and Luxor for 4 days total and quite honestly it was enough for me. From the moment we landed to the moment we left- Endless street harassment! For what it’s worth- we’re seasoned travelers who have been to over 20 countries, and coming from an even poorer country myself it was appalling the level of antagonizing we got while there! To start of with the good- I have never seen anything as incredible as the pyramids, or the temples in Luxor. Like I couldn’t wrap my head around how something that beautiful and precise count have been made. Especially Hatshepsut temple. Definitely worthy of all the bad we endured. But holy hell, my partner and I were saying how, at the end of 4 days, we would never want to go back. The usual camel hawkers and the knee selling junky items for 10x the price didn’t bother us. We got a tour guide which was fine but he went so fast. So we came back the next day on our own to try and slow down and enjoy. Well we were walking around and an official looking guy in a suit blew his whistle and was like “ticket”? To which already paid. He went on the whole spiel about how he’s a friend, waved us through , and then tried to push us through the”correct “ pathway. We followed and of course immediately cornered us and asked for money. Gave him $5 usd and he was like “give me more. I see another $5” to which we refused. To anyone who said we should have been smarter- there’s a ton of police around the pyramids, if someone blows a whistle at you, you stop and comply; you don’t expect it to be some scumbag. The most egregious one was in the airport, we had to pass a tunnel to get to our terminal. It was really early so it as just my partner running around. An official airport security man asked for his passport (normal) where he was going , and at the end REFUSED TO GIVE THE PASSPORT BACK AND JUST HELD OUT HIS HAND EXPECTING MONEY. Said nothing, because he knew my partner was alone and would not make a fuss.gave him $1 usd bc he was holding the passport hostage and again he had the audacity to say, that’s it? We had people follow us for several hundred feet to our car asking us to buy shit. That’s annoying as hell and out of sheer spite I refused to buy anything. The whole dropping you off at some crappy papyrus/essence/stone store at the end of the tour put a really bad taste in my mouth although I know we could say no. EVERYONE was all “my friend my friend” but no one treated us with genuine kindness when we needed help. We ran out of cash but only had a credit card- no one at the bank would help. We desperately asked a restaurant- well they did, but at a 15% fee AND MORE TIP FOR THEIR ASSISTANCE on top of that. Knowing damn well the actual cash advance fee is 5% at most and they pocketed the rest. Then they have their women and children monopolizing most toilets, handing you paper towels you didn’t ask for in one hand, hand out reached for tip in another. For effing paper towels that I can just get myself. Unfortunately my pity for them is mixed with resentment and anger. Poverty is no reason to be dishonorable, that is an absolute insult to poor people everywhere. But at the end I was getting terrified that we couldn’t leave, someone would extort us, and we’d be stuck in this country. At one point, we even drafted an email to the us embassy for help bc we were stranded without money (had lots of credit cards though) Asking us embassy for help! Who would have thought we’d have to resort to that!

https://www.reddit.com/r/travel/comments/ue11oe/went_to_egypt_and_it_was_just_as_terrible_yet/

I’ve been to Egypt twice now- the first time was not with a group and the harassment was real. The ‘police’ at Cairo do nothing other than bribe tourists and I still don’t know to this day if they are genuine police officers or people pretending to be police. I would highly recommend going with a reputable tour company. I went with Explore who I cannot recommend enough. We had a local guide who stayed with us the whole time and kept people from harassing us. I’m still friends with him to this day and that was 15 years ago.

We unexpectedly decided to drive to the Gorges du Verdon (France), I think we did right

That place is about 1h30 drive from my home. I go there about twice a year. Love it!

My wife and I crossed Switzerland off our bucket list. It truly is the most beautiful country in the world.

https://www.reddit.com/gallery/psnvay

I was fortunate to live in southwestern Germany for nearly 7 years as a military dependent in the 1980s and 1990s. Switzerland was always my favorite country to visit because of its sheer physical beauty. Though parts of Bavaria and Austria rank a close second, and northern Italy not far behind those.

If you're in Laos, renting a bike is a must.

I love Laos. It was such a nice place to drive around in, truly felt like an adventure driving around. I'd find beautiful nature, lots of hidden waterfalls, small villages, ethnic tribes, coffee plantation, Vietnam war remains etc.

Seville Cathedral (Spain) is being cleaned and it looks amazing

Athens and Hydra Island

These photos are stunning! Athens doesn’t get the love here it deserves sometimes. It’s one of my favorite cities. Thanks for sharing.

I had a layover in Valletta Malta a few weeks ago and I found the architecture there amazing!! I love the colours around the city.

I adored Malta, small place packed with history and beautiful architecture and fascinating catacombs. On the revisit list.

Faroe islands, you were amazing!

Faroe islands, you were amazing! My girlfriend and i had the chance to visit the Faroe islands in november 2022. Needless to say, we were blown away by the picturesque villages, impressive nature and the accessibility of all this. We didn’t encounter anyone else on our hikes, which was the icing on the cake. We also rented e-bikes (of which we were nearly blown off numerous times, thanks to the treacherous wind) since we are too young to rent a car. We focused on the beautiful and unspoiled nature of northern Vagar, the capital Torshavn and the area surrounding Tjørnuvik and Saksun. We had 10 days and wanted to have a more “in-depth” experience instead of a rushed itinerary of all the well-known places (Torshavn, Mulafossur, lake above the ocean, Kirkjubour, Gjogv, Kalsoy lighthouse etc). On our next trip we would like to see some of the more northern islands such as Kalsoy and Fugloy and also visit Klaksvik. Feel free to ask questions about our itinerary/prices/… :)

Wow the pictures look incredible. How was the food? Is early winter the best time to travel there?

Lived in Quito for the past 2 months. Finally got around to snapping a photo of Cotopaxi from the roof of our apartment building.

I went to Quito a couple of years ago. I'm a pretty big guy -- 6'2, 220 pounds. I'm also very gringo and had a pretty healthy Odin beard at the time. People are small in Ecuador. Like, really small. Right up there with Sardegna, northern India, and parts of Japan, in my experience, for shortest people. While I'm definitely above average in size at home, I was VERY ABOVE AVERAGE in Ecuador. I was there alone, so I was walking down the street by my lonesome looking for a bar to drink at. I pass a group of 6-7 younger ecuadorians who were also out on Friday night partying. This one guy jumps right in front of me, holds out his arms, eyes wider than saucers, and screams, "DUDE! You are the fucking MOUNTAIN!!" I looked behind me, not sure that he was talking to me. He saw how confused I was, so he says, "You speak English?" I shake my head yes. "You watch Game of Thrones?" I shake my head yes. "YOU ARE THE FUCKING MOUNTAIN." Ahhh, I get it now. All his friends laughed and confirmed that I was the Mountain. Never mind that I'm, like, half a foot shorter and many not-so-insignificant pounds less than the guy who really plays the Mountain. But fuck it. I'm the Mountain. They asked what I was doing, I told them drinking alone, so they took me out for a wild night out in Quito. Great times. I was there working for a major American band, on tour, doing video tech work. So a couple days later, crowd starts filling into the stadium, I'm up on stage working, show starts in an hour or so, and I hear, "Mountain! Mountain! Mountain! Mountain!" It was a few of the crew that I partied with. Throwing their fists in the air as they chanted. They went to the concert, and were near the front, and started chanting my gringo name. It was one of my greatest moments. Everyone looked at me like "Who the fuck is this guy? And how do they know him? And is he really The Mountain?"

A (rare) sunny day in Inverness, Scotland - gateway to the Scottish Highlands

The Scottish Highlands gets a lot of love on this sub but the city called the "Capital of the Scottish Highlands" isn't discussed as much. Here are some of my favourite things about Inverness. * The castle (pictured) is actually home to the court house! The structure was built recently in 1863 on the site of an 11th century defensive structure. Just this year, the North tower viewpoint was opened to the public (£5). * The famous Loch Ness (and nearby Urquhart castle) is a 25 minute public bus ride from the city. Infact, the river under the bridge is River Ness which drains the loch to the ocean. * I love visiting the Black Isle taproom as I think they're one of Scotland's top breweries. Other shopping hotspots include the Harris Tweed shop and many a Highland weavers (lambswool scarves are a good deal normally). * Finally, Inverness is the start point of 2 legendary Scottish journeys - the Caledonian Canal: a 97 km canal traversable by boat crossing 3 lochs and 29 locks and the Inverness to Kyle of Lochalsh rail journey - one of the best for views in the UK that takes you to the doorstep of Isle of Skye. Hope this is useful for future visitors. I have some impressions from my trip [documented here](https://beyondourhorizons.wordpress.com/rural-scotland-inverness-lochness/), would love to hear some of yours.

When I was 7 years old I saw a picture of Switzerland as my Dad’s wallpaper. I told him that I was going to go there one day... and I made it happen. I saved up my money to go to Europe after graduation. This is one of my favorite pictures taken in Altdorf, Switzerland.

What's your favorite part about the town?

After a 2 day hike with surreal scenery, we ran into this in Lenk, Switzerland, yet pictures don't make it justice.

Wow, very nicely shot. Switzerland has to be one of the prettiest countries in Europe.

Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina: one of the great surprises during a trip to the Balkans. It's a city that still shows big scars of the war in the 90s.

Mostar is one of those places where all the pictures you take look too fake to be real. Bosnia in general is a beautiful country, I wish more people realized and traveled there.

Leaving home for 6+ months on Tuesday. Trying to downsize my life into one backpack has been a challenge, but I think I'm nearly there.

I've been (still) traveling like this for six years and I'm always excited to see people venture off like this!! Your list looks good, but I'd strongly recommend taking a ravpower solar panel and microfiber towel (maybe you listed these and I missed it). Also, exofficio underwear is the best you could get for trekking. I promise you'll never wear"normal" underwear again, it makes all the difference in the world. If you're not already in, get someone to vouch you in the couchsurfing network. It's big and has saved me so much money and hassle for finding a place to sleep/shower. Plus, you get to meet a lot of cool people. A note on health insurance: it's almost always cheaper to just pay out of pocket when overseas, but also take a look into world nomads travel insurance. It's cheap, and provides waaaaaaaay better coverage than the typical care Americans buy into. That's all, and safe travels!! =)

We went to Negril, Jamaica, where I did my first cliff jump from 27 feet up.

Some background: I was fucking terrified. BF gave me the option of jumping first or after him. I told him I’d prefer he be waiting for me below so that I’d be accountable for following through and he could “save me” if I needed. That’s him down there in the water watching me. I screamed the whole way down. After I emerged from the water, the locals asked me to teach them the “song” I sang. They’re pretty funny trolls.
