A realm of medieval charm.

#2024wish Two years ago, my journey led me to the Trakai Island Castle in Vilnius, Lithuania, a place where history and fantasy converge. As I strolled along the cobblestone paths, the castle's red-brick façade emerged, surrounded by the crystal-clear waters of Lake Galvė. The air was filled with a sense of timelessness, transporting me to a fairytale landscape. Crossing the wooden drawbridge, I entered a realm of medieval charm. The castle's interiors, adorned with artifacts and echoes of the past, revealed the rich tapestry of Lithuania's history. Climbing the castle walls offered panoramic views of the idyllic surroundings, enhancing the enchantment of this historical gem. Trakai Island Castle became not just a destination but a vivid chapter in my personal fairytale of exploration. In 2024, I wish to visit Langkawi.
