Happy New Year dear friends! ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠Despite a nasty accident that has left me with multiple fractures in my jaw, I am looking at the New Year with renewed focus. And I haven't felt more hopeful for myself or my country. (Details in my post...link in bio)⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Here's wishing the dawn of a new decade holds peace & blessings in abundance for us all. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ And much meaningful travel! ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ #sayhellotowanderlust #theurgetowander ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ #iceland #icelandtravel #icelandtrip #instasunrise #iceland_photography #wheniniceland #exploreiceland #nature #naturephotography #travel #travelphotography #traveltheworld #trip #travelblogger #wanderlust #keepexploring #photooftheday #sunrise #igsunrise #sunrise_sunset #beautifuldestinations #landscape_lovers #happynewyear #wanderer #landscapephotography #happynewyear2020⁠⠀ ⁠⠀
No, that's not rural Asia, that's a scene from Europe.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ So where in Europe can you still find ox carts?⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ In that last bastion of traditional farming on the continent that we fell in love with: #Marmures. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ #theurgetowander #TUTWinRomania FavouritePlaces #romania #romania🇹🇩 #ig_romania #romaniamagica #romaniafrumoasa #romaniatravel #romaniateiubesc #topromaniaphoto #romanian #romaniapitoreasca #discoverromania #exploreromania #igersromania #visitromania #travel #traveler #wanderlust #beautiful #TLPicks #wonderful_places #YourShotPhotographers #villagesofromania #trip
I got called ‘cheesy’ for my Tweet referring to Transylvania as vampire country. Never mind that it ended with a wink or that every single Romanian who responded to it played along⁠🤷‍♀️ ⁠ So let’s get one thing out of the way: There are no vampires in Transylvania. Nor anywhere else in Romania. There never were. Dracula is a figment of the imagination of a man who never set foot in this country. Inspired by stories of a ruler who was sometimes cruel but not necessarily evil. ⁠ ⁠ Vlad-the-Impaler (the excessive impaling of opponents, first recorded and publicised by Saxon descendants of the impaled, could very well be suspect, or so I understand!) is in fact, more of a hero here than a villain. But the (borrowed) myth is good for business in the touristy parts. ⁠ ⁠ Beyond that very popular myth is a world of unexpected (for me) delights. Idyllic landscapes, colourful towns, fortified villages, wooden churches, painted monasteries and some of the loveliest people we have met anywhere, whose diversity (ethnicity and religious orders) and disillusionment with corrupt politicians I can so relate to. ⁠ ⁠ And oh yes, the coffee is consistently good and relatively cheap. ⁠ ⁠ What more can one ask of a destination? ⁠ ⁠ 📷 Chancel, Wooden Church of Calinesti Caeni in Maramures County.⁠ ⁠ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ #theurgetowander #TUTWRomania #exploreromania #travel #bestplacestogo #hello_worldpics #tlpicks #earthofficial #bestvacations #welivetoexplore #traveladdict #places_wow #wonderful_places #travel_drops #travellingthroughtheworld #explorer #wayfarer #romaniapitoreasca #topeuropephoto #ig_europe #europe #unlimitedeurope #romania #ig_romania #travelanddestinations #bestofromania #romaniapitoreasca ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀
Breaking my Instagram hiatus with a prayer for the people of Kashmir. That cursed paradise 50 days into a complete lockdown...'for their own good' whatever that means. It isn't a very hopeful prayer though, because I know that those that barge in like bulls into china shops seldom consider the consequences.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Apologies - once again - for the long absence. When things get overwhelming you fall out of love with the very things that you love. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ The antidote? #Travel! To go out and engage with other people and their histories and learn - if we possibly can - that hate toward fellow beings and force by governments toward citizens can only end in disaster. For everyone. Every. Single. Time.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Stay tuned for updates from a beautiful country that has hopefully learnt from its violent history. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ #Kashmir #Srinagar #indiatravel #wanderlust #memoriesofsummer #igdaily #theurgetowander #IncredibleIndia #indiaclicks #storiesofindia #igers #dallake #Instagram #reflection #FloatingMarket #DalLake #beautifuldestinations ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀
“Every surface, every stone of this venerable pile, is a page of the history not only of the country, but of science and of art.” - Victor Hugo So, so sorry Paris😭 #Paris #NotreDame #parisjetaime
Seljalandsfoss: One of many beautiful waterfalls dotting Iceland's picturesque southern coast.⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ The area around the falls was deathly slippery and the cavern behind, from where most of the arty Instagram shots are clicked, was out of bounds. ⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ I had a few anxious moments walking around without crampons. I had foolishly left them behind in the car. ⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ Dying on the road has never scared me, but breaking my not-so-young-any-more bones and never being able to travel again is a terrifying prospect😱 ⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ ⠀ ⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ #theurgetowander #offtoiceland #icelandair #visualsofearth #exploretocreate #bevisuallyinspired #visualsoflife #discoverer #ourplanetdaily #trip #agameoftones #neverstopexploring #getoutdoors #moodygrams #guidetoiceland #wheniniceland #folkscenery #earthfocus #nature_wizards #wayfarers #everydayiceland #igersiceland #landscape_captures #landscapephotography #ig_exquisite #earthpix #fantastic_earth #landscape_lovers #loves_iceland #ic_landscapes ⁣⠀ ⁣⠀
