The first thing you see getting off the train in Lauterbrunnen Valley, Switzerland

[deleted]

My wife and I finally took our COVID-delayed honeymoon exploring the garden island of Kauai. By foot, air, and sea; it was incredible.

https://www.reddit.com/gallery/ovfi7s

Nice! These look exactly like my Kauai vacation pictures. And I was worried I was going to see a whole album without any chicken appearances!

Look what we found at the top of Roys Peak in New Zealand.

That’s Roy.

Lake O'Hara, BC, Canada [OC]

Looks like Heaven to me!

Quarantine has been kind of transformative for me because it's allowed me, for the first time, to stop constantly looking abroad for exploring and nature and history. All of this has existed on my doorstep my whole life and only now have I learned to be grateful for it. All pictured in Dublin.

https://www.reddit.com/gallery/j8hihr

Holy shit you live in Dublin and you were looking elsewhere for nature and history? Glad you got the opportunity to explore, you live in one of the most historically interesting places on the entire earth!

I made it to this subreddit's favorite viewpoint, did not disappoint! (Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland)

Take the cog rail up to the Kleine Scheidegg. You won't regret it, the views of Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau are amazing.

Wooden Church in Moscow

Those two on the bench are adorable!

Can I ask what the cost of this was? Seems magical. Oriental express/trans-Siberian is my bucket list trip.

2021 was the year I travelled for the first time. This 4 day hike in northern Pakistan cost me $80.

I had no idea Pakistan was so pretty. That's awesome!

A year ago, my husband and I visited Indonesia on our honeymoon. This was by far the best trip of my life.

https://www.reddit.com/gallery/m3l1s3

I canceled our big wedding plans and we went to Indonesia for a month instead. Best decision ever. We still got married but with a much smaller crowd. It was 7 years ago.

Visit Pyramide du Louvre late on a cold rainy night, and get the whole place to yourself.

It's quite empty after 9pm on any Autumn to Spring evening. No need to have a cold rainy weather ;) (I live in Paris)

Riding through the forest in Patagonia, somewhere near Puerto Natales.

My dad and I did a trip to Torres del Paine in 1998. It was by far the best trip we've ever been on. We did a two night horse back trip in the Pingo River valley to Lago Pingo and the surrounding area. Besides having a horse that kept trying to kill me by galloping down steep slopes it was a great ride.

Along the Ancient Silk Road in Western China

https://www.reddit.com/gallery/lpm8i6

These pictures are from my trip back in November 2019. The places shown are Zhangye (1), Dunhuang (2,3), Jiayuguan (4,5), Turpan(6,7) and Urumqi (8). Typically you would also visit Xi'an, but as I had already been there before I skipped it. During November it is off-season which meant less tourists and cheaper hotels/tickets, but also very cold temperatures and some restaurants/shops were closed. I started by flying from Shanghai to Lanzhou and then taking trains to get to each city. From Urumqi I took a flight back to Shanghai. I should add that I was based in Shanghai for half a year during that time.

Christmas Eve in Innsbruck, Austria

I went to the Alpine zoo here during the summer, it’s the highest zoo in Europe! Was awesome!

This picture I took of Piazza Maggiore in Bologna, Italy in 2015. But I love this picture for the two very happy girls in it, I caught them in my picture completelty by accident.

I love Bologna. All the great food and architecture without being overwhelmed by tourism.

Cappadocia, Turkey. One of the most magical experiences.

We decided to make Nice, France our homebase on the French Riviera

https://www.reddit.com/gallery/j1xaq7

So beautiful! We were in Nice on our honeymoon when France won the World Cup in 2018. The fountain in your first picture had people climbing all over it and setting off fireworks. Unforgettable!

If you have time for it on a trip to Japan, I strongly recommend hiking Fuji :)

https://www.flickr.com/photos/noaceulemans/20661810928/

There's an old Japanese saying: "If you go to Japan and don't climb Mt. Fuji, you're a fool. If you climb Mt. Fuji more than once, you're an even bigger fool." That being said, highly recommend starting around 8-9pm so you can watch the sunrise at the summit.

If you go to Petra, don’t miss Petra at night, make sure to linger afterwards for these empty shots

I thought Petra by Night was a terribly overpriced and underwhelming experience. Cool shot though.

Stopping for a rest on the Inca Trail (Peru)

PSA: if you're going to do this trek and you don't know how your body handles altitude (note: it is not a function of how in shape you are; even extremely well-trained people can get it) then you need to budget *at least 3 nights in Cusco* and also take along acetazolamide. On the other hand if you have substantial experience above 10k feet elevation (~3000m) and have not had problems, then you have little to worry about.

One of the prettiest hikes I’ve done! @North Cascade Nat’l Park in WA

r/RateThisMeadow would give that meadow on the side of the trail a nice 8/10 meadow!

This is the view from a helicopter as you pass over the edge of the Grand Canyon. Nothing quite prepares you for the size.

Slovenia and Italy are where you can experience "Switzerland," but still have money left over for beer, wine, pork, and a nice hotel.

Poor weather can really be a blessing in disguise for travel pics. Taken from the Rialto Bridge in Venice, everyone else ran off to get out of the rain! (OC)

Tiny island paradise. Having a break between dives, at the Great Blue Hole of Belize.

Belize was one of the most beautiful aqua places I'd ever visited. I heard the blue hole was prettier from a plane than in a boat, but the reefs are NOT TO BE MISSED.

Before the lockdown, I was lucky enough to get to visit Ronda, Spain

I proposed to my wife here, right under the bridge

Today I drove around the north shore of Maui, Hawaii

https://v.redd.it/gw0y9l082pi21

I think that was my favorite drive on Maui. Much less traffic than the road to Hana, better shape then the back road, and there was Julia's.

Most of the villages on Lake Atitlan in Guatemala are only accessible by boat, making it perfect for social distancing. Swimming here, surrounded by massive volcanic mountains was an incredible experience.

I stated there with my wife and a college friend for a week a few years ago. It is an amazing place and insanely beautiful. The only bad part was one of the boat taxi’s we were in got into a head-on collision with another boat taxi in the middle of the lake. Thankfully it didn’t sink, but possibly one of the scariest moments of my life. 10/10 would go again and get some space cakes from that restaurant in Panajachel. I love that place

Just visited Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina

My wife and I went there in May 2016. It was before the peak of tourist season. At one point, we even walked across the bridge with nobody else around. We also enjoyed a delicious "mini meat platter" at one of the restaurants. It was something like $11.50 USD and without exaggeration, could have fed a family of 6.

Fuck it, sold everything to travel

I sold my car, ended my lease, etc. left my job. I’m leaving in a week to Europe with all the cash. Nervous as fuck but super excited. I’ll have a few rough months when it’s all done. Thankfully I work in IT so I can hopefully get a 6 month contract job then full time again. My family thinks I’m crazy and maybe I am. Life’s too short though. I’m burnt out from the grind and crazy world here. Wish me luck please, hope I have no regrets after it’s all said and done EDIT: HUGE thank you 🥲 I’m tearing up man. I love you all seriously I appreciate reading all this

https://www.reddit.com/r/travel/comments/xa5foy/fuck_it_sold_everything_to_travel/

In 2014 I ended a relationship (fiancée), sold my house, lost my job, and bought a one way ticket - had 16k to my name Didn’t work and was able to last 10 months: 4 months in Europe (from Dublin to Istanbul), 4 months in se Asia, and 2 months Central America While I traveled I had no clue what I wanted to do next. I was 30, kinda felt like I was throwing my engineering career aside, but felt overwhelmingly like something would come from it Ended up meeting an American guy in Budapest, went to his wedding in Slovenia, and then ended up working for his father (ran a small consulting business) for 5 years after that When in Cambodia I met one of his consultants who later became my wife. We ended up living abroad for a total of 6 years and got married in Croatia, first date in Croatia, proposed in South Africa, lived together in Kenya … Now we are in tech building a life in Austin tx - you never know what will come if you have the courage to take the leap! Lean in, say yes to things along the way, be open to what emerges.

Winter is a great time to visit Venice

Just as I went up the Ponte Dell'Accademia, fog came in from the sea which created this almost surreal look. I can highly recommend Venice in winter. Fog (comes in very often) creates a nice atmosphere and when it's thick you'll have the streets and canals almost exclusively to yourself, because the (relatively) few tourists come out in the afternoon when the fog is gone and the sun comes out.

I accidentally smuggled my drone into Morocco. 6 days and 70 miles of trekking through the Sahara Desert to capture this in Chigaga, Morocco.

"You have drone? You have drone? Open bag. Drone? This drone?" That's basically how my conversation went when I went to Morocco. I just had a regular DSLR and some lenses, but got asked a million times if it was a drone and had to take all my gear out of my bag to show them that it wasn't. That's a cool shot you got!

My first time in Venice and this is my iPhone shots collections.

Oh, what a time to be in Venice, without the crowds. So, how was it?

Hiked to the top of the Tempe of Apollo in Delphi, Greece. No one else was here this day! Absolutely breathtaking

How did you decide on Eze? We're (very slowly) planning a trip to France for March/April of next year, but we're feeling a bit overwhelmed with the amount of picturesque little towns we're finding online, because there's no way we can fit all of them in a 7 day trip.

Isn't Tallinn renowned for its beautiful old town? And drunken British Stag-dos, but mostly for having a beautiful old town.

Driving through Scotland was one of the best travel experiences, Some places feel completely unreal

I take it for granted because I’m from here. When I want to travel I always go abroad. I really want to explore my country more. Glad you enjoyed it. Where did you go?

Rainbow Mountains in Peru is one of my favorite hikes to date. High altitude hiking requires coca leaves, plenty of water, and extra oxygen just in case. Would recommend! Here’s a picture I took once I got to the top.

Go before you get old and unfit. All cool places in Peru involve climbing a dormant volcano with no handrails. These mountains had glaciers when we went a decade ago. The colors were under.

7days in Russian Siberia Railway, from Vladivostok to Moscow was the best travel I've ever had so far.

3rd class Russian carriage. "Plazkart" I'm Russian and I salute you! I have travelled this way a lot in my childhood - 5 days to Lake Baikal as well and it's a separate kind of reality. It's like a little life in a life. People get to know each other, they tell each other their life stories, share food etc etc.

Traveled to Isle of Skye this summer. Absolutely astonishing place. The weather was really Scottish, always foggy and cold. [OC]

The Isle of Skye is on my bucket list, it looks absolutely gorgeous.

The Great Wall allllll to myself! I went to Jinshanling, which is a bit further than where most tourists go, but no crowds and more authentic areas with less reconstruction.

This is a tourist destination worth spending a bit more time and money on. I also went further out to Gubeiku and it was amazing. Only a few spots where other people were but 4/5 hours on the wall was just our group of 6 and our guide.

Sri Lanka was even more beautiful than I expected

2 days in Namibia and I’m stunned..

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

Fantastic photos! Thanks for posting them. My perspective on nature, Earth, and humanity were forever changed by spending time in the bush in South Africa and really learning how wildlife are so interdependent in ways one never imagined. One example comes to mind - many years ago, farmers/ranchers, etc eliminated hyenas from the area because they were a threat to livestock. After some time, environmentalists discovered that vultures were experiencing a pandemic of rickets (insufficient calcium) which caused their eggs to break before hatching and, those that did hatch, to have bones too weak to sustain life. It took a lot of time and effort to find the cause. What they ultimately determined is that hyenas were crucial to vulture diet. Hyenas have the strongest jaw muscles in the animal kingdom, which they use to break their prey's bones into tiny little pieces. While picking over the hyena's prey, vultures consume those small pieces as their primary source of calcium. When the hyenas were no longer there to grind up bones, the vultures were deprived of their calcium source and hadn't evolved a way to compensate. As a preservation measure, wildlife keepers created and maintain "vulture cafes", concrete pads out in the bush where they bring carcasses from their ranges to feed the vultures and break up the bones with sledge hammers and the like to create the little bits the vultures need. Problem solved. An amazing insight into how one animal so heavily depends on another in ways you could never predict, and the manifestation of the Law of Unintended Consequences.

Hole in the Wall, South Africa. We unexpectedly spent nearly 6 hours hiking with these children, communicating solely through smiles, gestures and shoulder riders. We swam them across a river, got pizza at the hotel and had one of the most memorable days of our lives.
