What “secondary” city do you think is more worth visiting than the famous must-see destination?

For example, Philly (the photo) over New York or Zaragoza over Madrid, etc.

I’d love to hear which underrated cities you think are more worth visiting than the famous must-see destinations in the countries or regions you've visited (or live in)

This isn’t Switzerland… this is Skardu, Pakistan 🇵🇰❤️

Upper Kachura Lake, Skardu 🇵🇰

Crystal clear water, cold mountain breeze, massive rocky peaks, and complete peace..this place honestly feels unreal.

One of those locations where pictures never fully capture the actual beauty.

If Skardu is on your travel list, Upper Kachura lake deserves a spot near the top. 🚤🏔️

Would you take the boat ride here or just sit quietly by the lake? 👀

What's the coolest beach you've ever been to?

In my case, it's Whitehaven Beach, Australia (the photo). Just looking at it, you can understand how incredible it is although I have to admit it's a very difficult choice!

What about you guys? What's the coolest beach you've ever visited? I'm not talking about a beach that made you think "that's pretty" but one that felt very unique. Maybe because of its sand, the color of the water, its surroundings, or anything else that made it stand out from every other beach you've seen.

I'd love to hear your picks!

Which cities you've visited feel the most "cyberpunk"?

Neon lights, tons of technology, a lively atmosphere, almost like something out of a sci-fi movie! What do you think are the most cyberpunk cities you've ever been to?

I could definitely name several in Asia that feel very cyberpunk, but in this case I'd say Hongdae, South Korea (in the pic).

While traveling, what traditional dish did everyone seem to love, but you just couldn't get behind?

For me, it happened at a ryokan in Japan where I was served a traditional Japanese breakfast. Let me clarify: I absolutely love Japanese food, but for some reason that breakfast just did not work for me at all.

It consisted of miso soup, a boiled egg, and fish (not salmon). Everyone around me seemed to be enjoying it, but I simply couldn't eat it and ended up feeling sick afterward.

That's my story! I'd love to hear yours. During your travels, what traditional dish did you think you were going to love, but it turned out to be the complete opposite? Where was it?

Thanks in advance for sharing your experiences!

What’s the prettiest island you’ve ever seen??

My vote goes to Aruba (the photo), although I’d say Fiji is also one of the most breathtaking places I’ve ever seen.

What about you guys? What’s the most beautiful island you’ve ever been to, or one that completely exceeded your expectations?

Lassen National Park Manzanita Lake, CA

I've been working on my photography skills by visiting places around my area that are drivable so I can learn what a good photo is and is not.

Feeling solid about this photo, the morning was cold, but well worth it.

What would you change in the edit?

Which is the best and most fun city in North America for spending the summer?

I’d like to continue my thread about North America (Mexico, Canada, and the USA), and I wanted to ask you all: for you, what is the best city in all of North America to spend the summer in?

And yes, I know it really depends on personal preferences, but I’m thinking in general terms like good weather, lots of activities, and that whole “fun summer vibe.”

In my opinion, it would be the beautiful Chicago (in the photo), simply because of the weather, the activities, and the overall atmosphere. It’s a really cool place!

What’s the Most Impressive Bridge You’ve Ever Crossed?

Hi guyss, I’d love to know which bridges you’ve crossed or walked across have impacted you the most and where they’re located??

I don’t mean bridges that just made you think, “oh, that’s pretty,” but the ones that genuinely left you completely amazed or speechless, even if they weren’t massive architectural masterpieces but were simply located in beautiful places.

In my case, my vote goes to the Clifton Suspension Bridge in Bristol, UK (the photo).
