We stepped into Sandy Cave, where fancy tea parties and picnics were held, which could have been used as a smuggler’s cove ages ago! As you traverse each section, you’ll be spellbound by the rugged beauty of the coastline, the thundering of the sea, and the sheer exhilaration of the experience.

With tunnels, bridges, caves, & staircases, the Gobbins Cliff path is a journey through different worlds, each more captivating than the last. Off onto the path now… We went – stepping on narrow ledges enough to hold one person, admiring the unique flora around, listening to tales of a bygone era.🧵

However, flexibility doesn’t mean missing out on any must-do experiences! Festivals like the Tulip festival in Amsterdam or romantic locations like Lucerne, shouldn’t be side-lined. What's your fav destination? 2/2

With the constant chaos, smells, and the buzzing cities that exist alongside the slums, Asia feels like an assault to the senses, but it will grow on you & make sure you find exactly what you came looking for.2/2

People sat with their bowls on tiny plastic stools outside the restaurants, enjoying their meals while chatting with the people who shared their tables. There was something so alive about the city that this was just the beginning of falling in love with Hanoi. 3/3

It reminded me of the hustle and bustle of India in many ways. Motorbikes were darting everywhere I looked. There were at least 10 tiny restaurants within 500 meters, and they all seemed to be serving delicious food, as there was a queue at almost every one of them. 2/3

Beer is not just a beverage here; it’s an essential part of the culture, a symbol of Czech pride, and a source of endless enjoyment. Never mess around on this topic because the Czechs take their beer seriously. 2/2

But you can also consider less popular towns on the main Maltese island or small fishing villages on Gozo if you intend to have a leisurely stay. Would you like any stay recommendations? 2/2

You can never truly understand a country's culture & history in a couple of days. But a Malta weekend break can do wonders. So, I'm planning to post a few things I loved about Malta over the next few days. Stay tuned! 2/2

And although it seemed as if I would get blown away by the wind anytime soon, I still braved it and waited till the sun had finally set and all that remained was a melange of colours in the sky. It had been a long day, but one of the best I’ve had in all my time in #England. 2/2
