Autumn in Inverness 🌲
#autumnbeauty
I recently spent a few magical days in Inverness during autumn, and the beauty of the Highlands this time of year is just stunning 🍂. The city itself has such a warm and welcoming feel, with cozy cafes and charming streets to explore. The colors of the trees, turning golden and red, made walks along the River Ness unforgettable. Plus, it’s free to wander around and take in the gorgeous scenery!
One of the highlights was a visit to nearby Loch Ness, which is only about a 30-minute drive from Inverness. We didn’t spot Nessie, but the views of the loch surrounded by autumn foliage were mesmerizing. The entrance fee to Urquhart Castle was around £12, and the view from there was unbeatable. If you’re into history, Inverness Castle and the Culloden Battlefield are also close by, and both are must-sees.
Autumn really brings out the peaceful, mystical vibe of the Highlands, and I’d highly recommend visiting Inverness during this season.

Adventure in Monteverde 🏕️
#closetonature
Monteverde, Costa Rica, was one of the most unforgettable places I’ve ever visited! Nestled in the cloud forest, it felt like stepping into a world of lush greenery and endless wildlife. The entrance to the Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve was about $25, and it was worth every penny. I spent hours hiking the misty trails, surrounded by towering trees, exotic plants, and the sounds of birds and monkeys in the distance.
The hanging bridges offered breathtaking views, and I even spotted a quetzal, one of the rarest birds in the world! After exploring the reserve, I visited the nearby butterfly garden and coffee plantations, which gave me a deeper appreciation of the local culture. If you’re a nature lover, Monteverde is an absolute paradise! 🌿🦜☕️

Safari Splendor in Serengeti
My safari in Serengeti National Park was an unforgettable foray into the heart of the African wilderness, a close encounter with nature at its most raw and beautiful🦁. The endless plains, dotted with acacia trees and teeming with wildlife, presented a spectacle straight out of a nature documentary. From majestic lions to graceful giraffes, each moment was a new revelation in the circle of life🦒.
The highlight was witnessing the Great Migration. The sight of thousands of wildebeest and zebras thundering across the plains in unison was awe-inspiring and humbling, a testament to nature's grandeur and complexity🦬.
For those embarking on this adventure, I recommend staying in a tented camp for a truly immersive experience. Falling asleep to the sounds of the African night and waking up to a golden sunrise over the savannah is magical🌅.
Hiring a knowledgeable local guide enhances the experience significantly. Not only do they know the best spots for wildlife sightings, but they also offer insights into the animals' behaviors and the park's ecology🌍.
Be prepared for early mornings and varying weather. Bring binoculars, a good camera, and lots of memory space for all the photos you'll want to take📷.
Respect the wildlife and maintain a safe distance. Remember, you are a visitor in their home. The park's rules are in place to protect both the animals and visitors🚫.

There’s no
There’s nothing quite like watching the sky set itself on fire in Trogir, Croatia. These colors? Absolutely unreal. I mean, just look at the blend of fiery orange, soft pink, and deep purples reflecting perfectly on the calm waters. Moments like these remind you to just stop, breathe, and take it all in. Nature knows how to put on a show, and tonight it went all out.
It’s not just about the view—it’s about the feeling of being present. Standing there with this masterpiece in front of me, it felt like the world paused for a moment. The silhouettes of the hills in the distance and the quiet ripples on the water made it even more magical.
And that third shot? Framing the sunset through a rustic opening just added an extra touch of drama. It’s like finding a secret window to paradise. If there’s one place that knows how to do sunsets right, it’s Croatia. Whether you’re here for the history, the food, or just chasing sunsets like this, you’re in for a treat.
Pro tip: Always have your camera ready, because these skies don’t wait. This is one sunset I’ll be replaying in my mind for a while.

Mingsha Shan Scenic Area
#chillandthrill
Mingsha Shan, or the Singing Sand Dunes, is one of the most breathtaking places I’ve ever been. It’s located just outside Dunhuang, and as soon as I saw the towering sand dunes stretching out into the horizon, I was blown away. The desert has this magical quality to it—the way the light plays on the sand, the feeling of being so small in such a vast landscape. I climbed to the top of one of the dunes, and the view was incredible. You can also try sandboarding or take a camel ride, which is a super fun way to experience the desert. And yes, the sand really does make a “singing” sound when the wind blows over it! It’s such a peaceful, almost surreal place, and I found myself just sitting in the sand, soaking in the quiet beauty of it all.

Sunset Kayak Serenade
There's something utterly magical about kayaking on Loch Lomond as the sun dips below the horizon. The tranquility of the water, coupled with the breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains, creates a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. My trip to Loch Lomond was an impromptu decision, but it turned out to be an unforgettable adventure.
The key to enjoying Loch Lomond is to go late in the afternoon. Not only do you avoid the crowds, but you also get to witness the stunning sunset. Renting a kayak was straightforward, with several local businesses offering reasonable rates. I recommend booking in advance to secure your spot, especially during the peak summer months.
Paddling through the calm waters, I was surrounded by nature's masterpiece. The play of colors on the sky and water as the sun set was something out of a painting. Remember to bring waterproof gear for your camera or phone because you'll want to capture the moment without worrying about splashes.
For those new to kayaking, consider a guided tour. It not only ensures safety but also enriches the experience with local knowledge about the loch's history and wildlife.
One thing I wish I knew before going is how quickly the temperature can drop in the evening. Bring extra layers to stay warm, even in summer. Also, pack some snacks and water; being on the water can be more tiring than you anticipate.
My visit to Loch Lomond was a reminder of how beautiful and peaceful the world can be. It was a moment of reflection, away from technology and the noise of city life, offering a much-needed break.
