Travel time: 2.5 hours Day 2–3: Mechelen to Bonn, Germany 🇩🇪
Travel time: 2 hr 40 (change at Brussels & Cologne) Day 3–5: Bonn to Bremen
Travel time: 3 hr 43 Day 5–6: Bremen to Hamburg

This new style train is super cool—and yes, super tiny! 😅 But it was all part of the fun. What do you think? Do you like traveling by train? 🚄💭 💌 If you’re interested in my itinerary for Mechelen or details on my overnight train journey in the unique capsule pod-style train, comment ‘guide’ and I’ll send you the details!
THIS is the most underrated city in Europe! Welco THIS is the most underrated city in Europe! Welcome to the colorful city of gnomes, Wrocław, Poland 🇵🇱✨ I instantly fell in love with this charming town. I loved hunting down all the adorable gnomes - there’s nearly 1000 of them! Plus, there’s so much to see and do here. One of the highlights was climbing the 247 stairs to a view of the city and strolling Cathedral Island. I even spotted a lamplighter lighting 🕯️the streets by hand like the old times. 💬 Comment ‘guide’ and I’ll dm you my new blog post on even more things to do here as well as the top places to eat!

A fairytale 🧚 castle in Poland! Just 1.5 hours f A fairytale 🧚 castle in Poland! Just 1.5 hours from Wrocław you’ll find this stunning pink castle! 🏰 It’s the third largest castle in Poland 🇵🇱 This place has serious history. It was built in the 13th century and was later taken over by the Nazis during WWII. Eventually it became part of Project Riese — a top-secret underground tunnel system. Some even say Hitler planned to use it as his headquarters. You can actually go down into the tunnels today! The castle has over 400 rooms with views of the countryside. Also you will learn about the White Lady, aka Duchess Daisy, whose ghost is said to still roam the halls. In early May, the castle hosts a Flower Festival, and although I visited a bit later, I still caught the last remnants of it. 💡Pro tip: Most people don’t realize there’s a palm house just a 2-minute drive from the castle — and it’s so worth the stop. It’s full of exotic plants and feels like a tropical escape hidden away in Lower Silesia. You’ll find what it looks like in the last 2 frames of this post! 📍Książ Castle 🏰 AD @polandtravel_uk #visitpoland #polandtravel_uk

In the morning, I went diving 🐟 for the first time ever! And it was actually so scary at first but was so proud I overcame my fear and tried it. 
Later I lounged at the pool 🏊 at Four Seasons Resort and it was like paradise here. 📸 With my handy @insta360 GO3S, I was able to capture my day with ease. I could hang a magnetic necklace on me to get cool POV shots of me drinking a smoothie at the pool. I even brought it with me in the pool and diving because it’s waterproof! You can bring it underwater up to 10m and get a dive case if you want to go even deeper. The magnetic camera can also stick to a pole or any magnetic surface for quick shots and no need to set up a tripod. 💬 Comment ‘details’ and I’ll DM you the link to get yours! #insta360 #divingtrip #divingphoto #poolsofinstagram #fourseasonshotel #resorts #underwatercamera #beachesnresorts #solophotography #solofemaletraveler
This is NOT the Pyramids of Giza! 
Just outside Ca This is NOT the Pyramids of Giza! 
Just outside Cairo, I found ancient pyramids with no crowds, no hassle — and no one trying to sell me anything. In fact, it was even more impressive than that of Giza. The Step Pyramid of Djoser is the best part of it all. It’s the oldest pyramid in Egypt.  Don’t miss the Bent Pyramid and Red Pyramid in Dahshur, which are equally impressive and less touristy than the Pyramids of Giza. This is my third visit to this amazing city and I can’t believe I’ve only just come here. There are also tombs at Saqqara with some of the most detailed carvings I’ve seen outside of Luxor. 💬 Comment ‘pyramid’ for the tour I booked to go here as well as my guide on even more hidden gems in Cairo.
