Where to go in Italy 🇮🇹

Send someone you’d explore Italy with in 2025!
Here are some ideas for places to visit in Italy 👇

⭐ Lake Braies Tucked away in the Dolomites, this crystal-clear lake is a dream! Rent a rowboat or simply walk along the shoreline to soak in these stunning views.

⭐ Tuscany Visit the charming towns of San Gimignano, Montepulciano, and Val d’Orcia during your trip and enjoy rolling hills, golden sunsets, and the best vineyards.

⭐ Lake Como The place where luxury meets natural beauty. Take a boat ride to see Bellagio, Varenna, and Menaggio, or simply enjoy the charming lake views.

⭐ Lake Garda
Italy’s largest lake, surrounded by charming towns like Sirmione, Malcesine, and Limone sul Garda — the last one is an absolute must-visit!

⭐ The Dolomites A bucketlist place for nature lovers. Don’t miss Tre Cime di Lavaredo, the iconic peaks that define the region, Santa Maddalena, or the incredible hikes around Cortina d’Ampezzo.

⭐ Seceda The peaks of Seceda are a hiker’s paradise! Take the cable car from Ortisei and enjoy jaw-dropping views of the Dolomites. This place has stolen my heart.

⭐ Venice A city like no other! There are so many things to do: go to St. Mark’s Square, glide down the canals in a gondola, and explore the islands like Burano for colorful streets.

What to do in Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park

What to do in Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park

🏜️ Visit Monument Valley Visitor Center The first and the best viewpoint is just near the parking lot and the visitor center, offering stunning views right away. Also, check out the Monument Valley Trading Post, a large shop with Native American crafts, jewelry, and souvenirs.

🏜️ Do the Loop Drive A great option to see more viewpoints is the Monument Valley Scenic Loop Drive. My favorite viewpoints are The Mittens, John Ford’s Point, The Thumb, and Artist’s Point. You can do this drive in a regular car, but be very careful as some sections can be rough.

🏜️ Stay within the area The View Hotel, located just near the visitor center, offers stunning views of Monument Valley, but the food, service, and rooms are average, so if you book it, make sure your expectations are set, and that you’re basically paying for the view.  Alternatively, you can stay at Hampton by Hilton in Kayenta, which is about 30 minutes from the park. It’s a comfortable option, but like The View, it doesn’t offer anything exceptional in terms of food and service.

Do you have Monument Valley on your bucket list?

Things to do in Newport Beach👇

When I spent a weekend in Newport Beach, it became one of the best places I’d recommend to anyone who loves beautiful coastal beaches, shopping, and fine hotels and restaurants.

Here are some must-dos:

🛍️ Lido Marina Village — A great area to stroll and find amazing shops.
🏖️ Beaches — Visit Crystal Cove State Park and Little Corona Del Mar for stunning ocean views.
🍴Dining & coffee — Choose Malibu Farm Lido, Nobu, or A+O Restaurant & Bar for meals, and for coffee, head to Blue Bottle.
🛥️ I stayed at Balboa Bay Resort @balboabayresort, which offers some of the most stunning waterfront views in Newport Beach, located right on Newport Bay.

Newport Beach is just 50 minutes from Los Angeles and 1 hour 20 minutes from San Diego, making it the perfect idea for a 1-2 day trip!

Save this video for your California trip plans!

Save these 10 amazing Utah viewpoints that don’t

Save these 10 amazing Utah viewpoints that don’t require hiking!

Some of them require a short walk (no more than 5 minutes), while some are just next to the parking lot.

- Park Avenue Viewpoint (Arches)
- Fruita Barn (Capitol Reef)
- Sunset Point (Bryce Canyon)
- Double Arch (Arches)
- Grand View Point (Canyonlands)
- Dead Horse Point (Dead Horse)
- The Windows (Arches)
- Red Canyon Arch (Bryce Canyon)
- Forrest Gump Point (Monument Valley)
- Great Salt Lake (Salt Lake City)

I can’t choose my absolute favorite, but if I had to, I’d probably pick Arches! Zion is great too, but it requires more hiking to reach the best viewpoints.

What’s your favorite Utah national park?

The most beautiful area on Oʻahu Hawaii 🌊 I s

The most beautiful area on Oʻahu Hawaii 🌊

I swear, these are my favorite photos from last year! I personally think this is the most stunning spot on the island, and it’s so easy to reach.

Start with the Makapuʻu Lighthouse Trail, a paved 2-mile round-trip hike offering sweeping ocean views. If you’re lucky, you might even spot humpback whales in the winter!

Next, check out the Makapuʻu Lookout, where you’ll enjoy breathtaking views of the coast and the deep blue Pacific.

Makapuʻu Beach is great for catching some waves if you need beach time. For the adventurous, explore the Makapuʻu Tide Pools, a hidden gem with crystal-clear pools by the ocean. Just be cautious of waves!

Read all the info about this hike below:

📍This is the Andreas Canyon Trailhead, part of Indian Canyons in Palm Springs. It’s probably the most famous trail here, and its landscapes are definitely worth the hike.

This relatively short and easy 1.5-mile loop trail takes you through the canyon along the creek. Andreas Canyon features a palm-lined creek, towering canyon walls, including desert palms and other desert plants. The contrast between the dry desert landscape and the lush oasis creates stunning views!

If you enjoy hiking, you can also explore other nearby canyons like Palm Canyon and Murray Canyon. The entrance fee to Indian Canyons is $12.

Will you add Andreas Canyon to your bucket list in Palm Springs?
