A Magical Trainride
Bernina Express is a classic train route deep in the Swiss Alps. It's not as known as the Glacier Express, but the route is in my opinion even more beautiful, especially in winter!
🚞 Starting Point: St. Moritz Train Station
🏁 Final Point: Posciavo Train Station (Or Tirano)
🏷️ Costs: A train ticket for the one way route starts from about 20 Swiss Francs. If you book verly late, it's a little more pricy.
What you can expect: Great views, huge windows, a clean train and on board service.

Harbin! Harbin! Harbin!
Places featured:
St. Sophia Cathedral (free)
Zhongyang Street (free)
Stalin Park (free)
Songhua River (free)
Zhaolin Park (free)
Snow and Ice World (328 rmb)
These are all places you can visit which is in fairly close proximity to each other (walking distance if you don’t mind). I started walking from St. Sophia Cathedral, stopped at Zhaolin Park and ended at Songhua river. Stalin Park is right next to it. Except for the Snow and Ice world, I took a taxi from the Stalin Park to there. Btw Songhua river has a lot of activities you can try plus shopping malls close by. #trip #china #harbin #wintergetaway #instatravel
Harbin’s Winter Wonderland!
This literally felt like a fairy world! I can’t imagine going any other time than winter. The snow makes the surroundings even more beautiful. I definitely recommend visiting if you arrive Harbin. I paid 170 yuan for the ticket plus bus transport. Pickup is at Zhoulin hotel which is right outside the Meteorological Observatory metro station. Drive to the manor is approximately 1 hour give or take. Scan your ticket upon arrival and you’re good to go. They do have buses in the park so if you get tired just find the nearest stop and wait. There are restaurants if you get hungry but you can also bring your food if you want. #harbin #wintergetaway #china #trip #localguides

Private pool 🏊🏻 sun and tranquility🏖☀️
A villa home away from home🏖, just 15 minute drive south of the airport which is great for a late arrival flight like ours. our plan was to travel Bali a little but after arriving at such a peaceful paradise we decided to just stay in our villa and relax. The private 🏊🏻pool is a really good size with extra shallow part in the shade if you have smaller children. cooking facilities available although the food from the restaurant was delicious, the salmon was a highlight as were the salads 🥗. Breakfast was pretty good too good selection and eggs to your liking every morning. Fridge was a good size and just what we needed to keep your drinks cool ready for the cocktail mix 🍹🍸😋. Dining area was beautifully set up every morning, and it just had such a lovely home away from home feel, whether it was reading a book by the pool or splashing around in the pool. There are 2 other big pools 🏊🏻in communal areas where you can just enjoy the view and green scenery, very clean and well maintained😀. Close to local amenities and a short drive from the beach and restaurants.#familytrip #villas #bali #wintergetaway #wintertrip #christmastrip
M.O.T.A.S around the world Trying some food at Gwangjang Market 🇰🇷
I went to this market on the 10th day of our stay in Korea.
It is one of the most recommended tourist attractions for international travelers, specially if you're a foodie. It is also one of the oldest and traditional markets in South Korea.
I tried Red-been Hotteok and the 10 Won Coin Pancake. I spent 2,000 won and 3,000 won, respectively. I wanted to try other foods but I didn't like to stay longer in the market cos of the smell lol
Be sure to go there with empty tummy so you can try as much as you can.
Getting there:
• 3 mins walk from Jongno 5-ga Station (line 1, exit 7/8)
• 5 mins walk from Euljiro 4-ga Station (line 2/5, exit 4)
Address:
88, Changgyeonggung-ro, Jongno-gu, Seoul
In 2024, I want to try some delicacies from around the world.

Glance of N.Seoul Tower Observatory 🇰🇷
Part 1. Inside edition.
The photos are views from the observatory. Going to this tower has always been my dream. Unfortunately, I couldn't get clear photos of the city view because it was cloudy all day.
Things we did in the tower:
1. Took photos at the entrance of the tower.
2. Bought mini melts at the vending machine.
3. Bought a souvenir, the N Seoul Tower coin.
You should also try the restroom in the tower as it has a glass wall to enjoy the view.

South Korea's tallest building 🇰🇷
This is SEOUL SKY. It is located on floors 117-123 of Lotte World Tower, the nation's tallest and the world's fifth tallest building. It offers a panoramic view of the Han river and the entire city. There are plenty of coffee shops and seats where you can relax and watch the sunset - if you're going in the evening. I enjoyed walking on the glass floor where you can view below. That was thrilling!
We planned to go here to cross the Sky Bridge, unfortunately, it is not open in winter. We prolly should come back to try it.
Date visited: January 4,2024

Christmas Magic in Luang Prabang
I visited Kuang Si Falls on Christmas Day during my tour of Luang Prabang, Laos. The waterfalls were breathtaking, and it felt like I stepped into a fantasy world. The water was a bright turquoise color and there were seven layers of waterfalls flowing into small ponds. There are even areas where you could swim. Just keep in mind that the water is chilly. The waterfalls were an hour away from the city of Luang Prabang but you can get there with a tour or by renting a motorbike. After passing through the entrance, the staff takes people in an electric vehicle to the waterfalls. Then you can just enjoy the hike up the seven layers and learn about the conservation of Laos’s endangered moon and sun bears. For photos, I highly recommend at any time of day! #localguides #naturalwonders #wintergetaway #christmastrip

Japanese-style cafe in Seoul 🇰🇷
This is Cafe Gabaedo. It is only a few minutes walk from our hotel. It is a Japanese-style cafe that has a cozy and quiet atmosphere. It is a small cafe between Courtyard Marriot and the train station exit 4. The building has a traditional structure. You can also buy candies and some goodies in this cafe.
We ordered matcha latte and tiramisu(chocolate). The tiramisu is so good, you should try it. We still have few more days left here in Seoul so we'll definitely go back.
Location: 11, NANDAEMOON-RO, CHOONG-KU SEOUL-CITY

Famous Chinese Botanic Garden! 🌳🪨🐲
The narrative of this gorgeous and fascinating botanic garden began more than three centuries ago when Pan Yunduan was the Ming-era governor of Sichuan province and he decided to construct it for his parents to enjoy in their old age to show filial piety.
Yu Garden is recognized as the Garden of Peace and Comfort for this reason, and it serves as a symbol.
As I strolled around the garden, I felt peace and harmony. Even though I was surrounded myself by a bunch of tourists.
My conscious was clear, I could expect that, so I just went with the tide. I was calm, comfortable with myself, and focused On photographing shots of some intriguing Elements of the surroundings.
The majority of these stones and woods impressed me, as did the way the sun found its way through them to create stunning shadows that gave the entire area a distinct aurora!

Kusatsu Onsen (One of Japan's best onsen)
Located in the mountainous region of Kanto area, Gunma, you'll be stunned by the beauty of this small town where onsens dated back in Edo era are highlighted. You can also have a foot bath while drinking a can of beer next to the main stream, Yubatake area. Can be visited all year round but the winter season will make your photos more dramatic creating a beautiful contrast with their ancient houses. Book one of the ryokans or traditional inn and grab their free yukata clothing during your stay and wear it while roaming around the town. And don't forget to watch their traditional kneading of thermal water known as Yumomi.

Winter wonderland close to Beijing
Getting There - Train Beijing - Chongli
Attractions - Skiing
Hotels - Many options
We spent a weekend in Chongli during the winter and I think we will repeat this every year. Very convenient to take the train from Beijing North station or Qinghe station. I recommend to plan in advance and buy the ticket when they are released two weeks in advanced 🎫
You can choose from different ski centers according to your wish and abilities. Weather in February can be cold but we were lucky with sun on the Saturday so we could enjoy our lunch in the sun outdoors. If you live in Beijing this is definitely a cool place to go during the long wintertime.
We fell in love with Thaiwoo ski resort as it has everything we need. Different restaurants, ski activities, afterski events and they even have a band that plays outside if the weather allows.

I know many adjectives, but they all fail me when I need them to capture how I feel about Bali. One simply has to 'do' Bali to understand. Bali in unimaginably beautiful, not only the place, but moreso the people, and there are an endless number to things to do, see, feel and experience. Escape to Bali for the magical experiences that will last you an entire lifetime!

An exhibition of unusual sculptures on lake Baikal
This is an exhibition of unusual sculptures on lake Baikal in Siberia.
The Incredible Ice Formations Of Lake Baikal Look Like Extraterrestrial Sculptures.
Located in the Russian region of Siberia, Lake Baikal is the world’s deepest and most voluminous freshwater lake. It contains approximately 23% of the world’s surface water!
How to get there.
If you are traveling from a nearby town (such as Irkutsk or Ulan-Ude), you can also get to Baikal lake by bus or by car.
Baikal Lake is situated along the Trans-Siberian route, so if you take that route, you absolutely have to stop at Baikal. There is no excuse if you don't, because traveling 5000 km with a train and bypassing this beautiful lake would be something you'd regret for the rest of your life!
There are two main means of transport to get to Baikal lake: by plane or by train. If you are traveling from a nearby town (such as Irkutsk or Ulan-Ude), you can also get to Baikal lake by bus or by car. Below, we will look at each of these means in more detail, but first — a short look at the main cities close to Baikal (so that you know your destination).
The Cities on Baikal
The three main points of access to Baikal are Irkutsk and Ulan-Ude cities and Slyudyanka settlement. You can get to Irkutsk and Ulan-Ude by plane, train (Trans-Siberian), or bus. Slyudyanka is a stop along the Trans-Siberian also, and you get get there by bus from Irkutsk too. There's also Baikalsk on the eastern shore of Baikal lake, but fewer trains stop there, and it is of no interest.
From Irkutsk you can either go to Lisvyanka (popular village, which is the closest place on Baikal (65 km - around 1.5 hours by bus or car)), Olkhon island (which is complete wilderness, but with all the comforts - 250 km - about 7 hours by bus or car), Port Baikal (to start the Circum Baikal railway) - next to Listvyanka, or to Slyudyanka (which is slightly further, but is a good point to explore Circum Baikal). Some river transport can take you for a day trips to one of the bays further North from Listvyanka.
Where to stay.
Plenty of hotels or guesthouses at Olkhon island.
Shipping
A lot of local souvenir shop at Olkhon island
Where to eat.
Numerous of nice restaurants at the main road of the village.

Grazie Mille Venezia!
There is nowhere quite like magical Venice!
If you've ever wondered where all those renaissance painters got their inspiration from, fly into Venice early in the morning and get the boat over to the island. Arriving with the morning glow over Venice explains everything. It's a wonder to see and transports you back in time!
Getting around is super easy! You can wander the streets, getting lost down tiny alleys which suddenly open up into big squares is such a wonderful adventure! But if you want to travel over to Murano etc is super easy, just download the travel app, pay before you board and away you go!
Venice is magical place which is super easy to get to and get around! It should be on everyone's bucket list as there no place quite like it!

CENDOL KAMPUNG HULU
First time try their cendol. Wow! Very delicious. It's totally different from other cendols that I hv ate before... The ice texture was very smooth. I think the ice was made mix with santan and the texture more like ice cream. Gula melaka taste the original gula melaka. Try the cendol durian and cendol mangga. Both very delicious with the reasonable price. I come during weekdays so not too crowd. Usually it's very pack on weekend.#wintergetaway #tripblazers #newyearadventure #infinitypool #mountainview #themepark #foodie #本地遊 #mytripvlog #urbanexplorer #awesomepic #cafe #summervacation #passionpassport #passionpassport #celebratewithtrip #nationalpark #bucketlistreboot #2023travelwish #beachlife #wintergetaway #couplestrip

MULA COFFEE BAR BY KICKSTART
Highly recommended! Great food and premium taste coffee. Food prices are a little high for the portion served but all dishes are tasty and satisfying. We had a nice chat with the co-owner Mr Rashidi, who was very helpful and friendly. We tried chicken grill,burgers,chicken sandwiches and nasi+buttermilk. Surely we will come here again to try other dishes in the menu.
i cant't pin the actual location but you can google " "}mula coffee bar by kickstart" "} from google maps.
thank me later 😉

Napahai Grassland & Lake
Getting There - Take a bus no. 12
It only operates at 2PM-16PM.
In the morning you could visit the SongzanLin Monastery until 1-1.30PM.
You can take a bus no. 3 (2rmb/wechat scan) directly from SongzanLin Monastery, and get off at 红太阳广场。At that stop, you will see bus no. 12.
Bus no. 12 will go around the grassland and lake. You can make a stop whenever you want to. I didn't get off the bus until the last stop (last picture), because the scenery was meh.
At the last stop, the driver will stop for 15 min. You can get off and walk around a bit, you don't need to pay another 2rmb when you get in again.
The whole bus ride to go around will take about an hour.
Lastly, the bus will drive back to the North Gate. Or you can make a stop whenever you want. Just tell the driver " "}zhe li xia che" "}
FYI : To visit Napa Grassland and Lake is FREE. Unless you want to ride the horse and take a pic with baby lamb.

Scootering in Lijiang
I rent a scooter in 束河古城。 It cost me 90RMB a day. I managed to find a spot where you can take a picture with the Jade Snow Mountain as a background.
I visited the Spruce Meadow, it was really crowded and most of the snow is gone.
Overall Lijiang has been fun 😊#MyTripVlog#wintergetaway#bucketlistreboot#awesomepic#2023travelwish
