Iceland • A Hidden Hotpot
This tip comes from Greg Buzulencia at ViaHero. Laugarvallalaug is a true oasis in the middle of nowhere, if you’re lucky enough to find it. Close to the ruins of a deserted farm there is a geothermal stream that flows into a warm little waterfall, falling into a small pond at the bottom of it. There…
Canary Islands • Quiet & Beautiful Playa de la Tejita
Come to Playa de la Tejita, on the south coast of the island of Tenerife, if you would like to escape the masses flocking to the beaches found on the opposite side of la Montaña Roja. The sand here is finer and softer, the water is a bit cleaner and clearer in my opinion, and the…
Canary Islands • Hiking a Volcanic Peak in Tenerife
If you’re feeling a bit adventurous, and you don’t mind your shoes turning pink, why not hike to the top of this volcanic peak, planted right on the southern coast of Tenerife?

Glen Nevis, Scotland • Easy Access to Another World
Glen Nevis is the neighbouring glen to Ben Nevis, Scotland‘s highest mountain. Or translated into more easily understood language, it is the river valley that sits below the mountain.

Muzinë, Albania • The Blue Eye: A Natural Phenomenon
Syri i Kalter means “the blue eye” in Albanian, but it is not the name of a painting, an artwork, or a film. It is neither the name of a monster, but what it truly is, a marvel of nature, leaves you astonished as a divine apparition does. On the Western slope of Mali i…
Oaxaca • Mexico’s Petrified Waterfalls
