If you like hiking, nature, or history, Scotland’s famous Isle of Skye is a location that you must add to your bucket list. Between its stunning scenery and its incredible ruins, there are adventures to be had around every corner. When you manage to make it over there, here are the things that we recommend you do.

Meet the Old Man of Storr

Found in the Trotternish region, the Old Man of Storr is a rock formation that is thought to be the thumb of a giant – or otherwise it was created by an ancient landslide. Whatever you choose to believe, it’s incredibly impressive and surrounded by a lush landscape well worth seeing, accessible by foot through a four-kilometer walk.

Visit Quiraing

Also in the Trotternish area, Quiraing is an area full of cliffs, peaks, and plateaus, with lakes adding to the area’s allure. It has plenty of trails for hikers to take in the incredible views, and perhaps the most popular viewpoint is at the top of Quiraing Mountain Pass.

Bathe in the Fairy Pools

The best 1-kilometer trek you’ll ever take will be to the fairy Pools near the village of Glenbrittle, full of streams, pools, and waterfalls as magical as the name would suggest. It’s cold, so only jump in if you’re brave and ready for a slap in the face from mother nature.

An island in the Caribbean Sea, Aruba is known as one of the best vacation destinations in the world, especially for beach vacations and honeymooners. If you’re lucky enough to make your way over there, here are the things that we recommend doing and seeing while you’re on the island.

Go to the Beach

In case it wasn’t obvious, the main thing you’ll want to do in Aruba is enjoy the beaches, which are known for their perfect, pillow-soft sand. On the agenda should be Eagle Beach, Palm Beach, Divi Beach, and Manchebo Beach, where you can swim, snorkel, lay out in the sun, and windsurf.

Check out Oranjestad

All you need to do is see one photo of Oranjestad to be convinced that it’s worth visiting. The charming capital of Aruba is full of pastel buildings with Dutch colonial, Spanish, and Caribbean architecture, and lots of shops, restaurants, galleries, and museums to keep you entertained.

Visit the Butterfly Farm

With hundreds of exotic butterfly species from all over the world, the Butterfly Farm in Oranjestad is a must-see, with marvels to offer for visitors of any age. Don’t forget to bring your camera to capture this magical experience!

It has so much to offer, and there are plenty of reasons to visit. If you ever make it out, here are some things you can do while you’re there.

The Beach

From the main beach, White Beach, to the others that are a bit quieter like Puka Beach and Bulabog Beach, there’s no denying that Boracay has some of the best beaches in the world.

The Food

If you like seafood, you’ll be in heaven on Boracay. There are so many different seafood restaurants that you can enjoy, or even just get fresh seafood from the market and have it cooked at a paluto restaurant just the way you like it.

Water Sports

Are you an active traveler? Looking to work off all of that lobster you ate? Well, you’re in luck, because Boracay offers a huge variety of water sports, like windsurfing, kitesurfing, skimboarding, banana boating, water skiing, and parasailing. You can even take mermaid swimming lessons.

If you’ve heard of Capri, an island in the Bay of Naples in Italy, it’s probably because it’s a favorite destination of the rich and famous of the world, who love it for its elegance, beaches, and crystal clear waters. If you want to feel like a star for a few days, visiting Capri is a great way to do it—and these are the things we’d suggest you do while you’re there.

Take a Boat Tour to the Blue Grotto

A favorite celebrity activity to do on Capri is boat around the stunning Italian sea, and you can do this yourself at any budget, whether you share a boat with a tour group or rent one on your own. When you do, don’t miss the world-renowned Blue Grotto, whose sapphire waters are fully Instagram-worthy.

Take the Chair Lift Up Mount Solaro

Being wealthy is all about getting access to exclusive, breathtaking views—and Capri has one that you’ll never forget. It’s at the top of Mount Solaro, and you can get there on a chairlift from Piazza Vittoria.

Have a Romantic Dinner

There’s no better way to feel like a VIP on Capri then to go to dinner at one of the fancy restaurants, where you can see photos of all of the celebs who have been there before you. The food is great, the views are stunning—what else could you need?

If you haven’t thought about visiting Cyprus yet, think again. This Mediterranean slash Middle Eastern slash European island nation has so much to offer and it’s just waiting for your visit. Here are three things you should do while you’re there.

Ancient Kourion

One of the things that Cyprus is most known for is its ruins, and this one is a must-see. The Kourion is a compound of ancient Greek and Roman ruins, situated right on a coastal cliff. It’s absolutely huge, with a theater, well-preserved ancient mosaics, and towering columns.

Nissi Beach

While Cyprus is absolutely covered in perfect beaches, this is its most famous one. Nissi beach is calm, with shallow areas perfect for children and families and crystal clear, turquoise waters that will make you feel like you’ve landed in paradise.

Petra tou Roumio

Is it a rock? Sure. But is it just a rock? Absolutely not. The Petra tou Roumio is absolutely legendary, known to be the birthplace of Aphrodite, goddess of love herself. Could there be a more romantic geological formation to visit? Even if you didn’t know about its legend, you’d probably want to visit this sea stack anyway, as it’s in an absolutely perfect, picturesque area.

While vacationing on a Mediterranean island is a dream come true for most people, for some reason, Malta still isn’t on most people’s radars. Well, that’s about to change because we’re here to offer a few reasons why you should visit Malta.

Malta is a Beachy Paradise

Let’s start with the obvious: Malta is a Mediterranean island, for Pete’s sake! With sun 300 days of the year, clear blue water, plenty of beaches to choose from, and amazing scuba diving, Malta is paradise.

Malta Has History

Hailing from the dawn of civilization and having been ruled and affected by the Arabs, Normans, Aragonese, Phoenicians, Carthaginians, and Romans, Malta has plenty of megalithic temples and fascinating history to explore.

Malta Is Affordable

If you’ve never heard of Malta, there’s one plus side to that: its lack of international reputation is partially responsible for why visiting Malta is 20% cheaper than visiting mainland Europe, including food and hotels.

Malta Is Convenient

Don’t have a week of vacation days to burn? No worries. Malta is only 317 square kilometers, so you can enjoy it in a few days without feeling like you’re missing anything important. Plus, Malta’s official language is English, so you don’t have to worry about fussing with a travel dictionary.

Puerto Rican cuisine is bold and delicious as the European and African influences make it diverse. Here are four delicious Puerto Rican dishes to introduce you to the island’s cuisine—we’re sure you’ll want to try more soon!

Mofongo

Plantains, also known as cooking bananas, are mixed with oil, garlic, and spices, then mashed and fried to make mofongo. The dish is often served with shrimp and chicharrónes. Mofongo represents a blend of different cultures and traditions with West African, Taino, and Spanish influences.

Tres Leches

If you’re up for a Puerto Rican dessert try tres leches, which combines regular yellow sponge cake and three types of milk. You may have tried tres leches before as its a part of many different cultures, Puerto Rican being one of them.

Harina de Maíz

Harina de maíz is a traditional Puerto Rican breakfast that’s many children’s favorite. It’s similar to oatmeal, but it’s made with cornmeal, sugar, milk, and vanilla. The flavor is universally loved, even by picky eaters, which is why it’s often offered to kids.

Pinchos

If you don’t know what to eat while exploring the island, try pinchos at one of many street vendor carts. Pinchos are basically shish kebabs made with pork, chicken, or shrimp. They’re perfect for meat lovers!

The Tashirojima Island in Japan doesn’t have many people living in it, however, it’s a paradise for cats and anyone who loves cats. Thousands of stray cats live on this island in the Miyagi prefecture where they are free to walk and explore whatever they want. They’re fed and taken care of by the community that lives on the island. The Tashirojima inhabitants believe that cats bring good luck and that luck doubles when they feed them.

If you were wondering, there are no dogs on the islands. The visitors aren’t allowed to bring dogs at all. The island cats are nobody’s pets. They are feral and do just fine on their own, but people still feed them regularly.

Everybody’s welcome to take a ferry to the island to see and feed the cats. There are currently only around 100 people living on the island and they’re largely outnumbered by the cats. The cats are used to being fed by people, but it’s not uncommon for a bunch of them to approach someone who came bringing food.

Lithuania is slowly but surely becoming a hot destination for tourists who are looking to explore the beauties of Eastern Europe. But this small country hides a jewel that is yet to be discovered – the magnificent Trakai Island Castle.

The castle is located in Trakai, on a small island in Lake Galve. If you are staying in Lithuania’s capital Vilnius, you can easily visit the castle, as it is located only 30 kilometers from the city, and you can get there with a bus ride that will only cost you around $3.

Trakai Castle dates from the 14th century, and it was one of the most vital strongholds through Lithuania’s history. The magical castle will take your breath away with its scenic setting and magnificent architectural design. The surrounding lake makes the scene even more beautiful, giving you a nice opportunity to take incredible photos that will make your Instagram followers green with envy!

https://www.instagram.com/p/B7WUU3-leUs/

The interior of the castle was turned into a museum, so you can enjoy walking around the castle and learning about the rich history of Lithuania at the same time.   

Finally, take a boat ride around the castle. This is a great way to capture the perfect photo of the castle and fully enjoy the nature surrounding it!

Plantains, also known as cooking bananas, are mixed with oil, garlic, and spices, then mashed and fried to make mofongo. The dish is often served with shrimp and chicharrónes. Mofongo represents a blend of different cultures and traditions with West African, Taino, and Spanish influences.

Tres Leches

If you’re up for a Puerto Rican dessert try tres leches, which combines regular yellow sponge cake and three types of milk. You may have tried tres leches before as its a part of many different cultures, Puerto Rican being one of them.

Harina de Maíz

Harina de maíz is a traditional Puerto Rican breakfast that’s many children’s favorite. It’s similar to oatmeal, but it’s made with cornmeal, sugar, milk, and vanilla. The flavor is universally loved, even by picky eaters, which is why it’s often offered to kids.

Pinchos

If you don’t know what to eat while exploring the island, try pinchos at one of many street vendor carts. Pinchos are basically shish kebabs made with pork, chicken, or shrimp. They’re perfect for meat lovers!

The Tashirojima Island in Japan doesn’t have many people living in it, however, it’s a paradise for cats and anyone who loves cats. Thousands of stray cats live on this island in the Miyagi prefecture where they are free to walk and explore whatever they want. They’re fed and taken care of by the community that lives on the island. The Tashirojima inhabitants believe that cats bring good luck and that luck doubles when they feed them.

If you were wondering, there are no dogs on the islands. The visitors aren’t allowed to bring dogs at all. The island cats are nobody’s pets. They are feral and do just fine on their own, but people still feed them regularly.

Everybody’s welcome to take a ferry to the island to see and feed the cats. There are currently only around 100 people living on the island and they’re largely outnumbered by the cats. The cats are used to being fed by people, but it’s not uncommon for a bunch of them to approach someone who came bringing food.

Lithuania is slowly but surely becoming a hot destination for tourists who are looking to explore the beauties of Eastern Europe. But this small country hides a jewel that is yet to be discovered – the magnificent Trakai Island Castle.

The castle is located in Trakai, on a small island in Lake Galve. If you are staying in Lithuania’s capital Vilnius, you can easily visit the castle, as it is located only 30 kilometers from the city, and you can get there with a bus ride that will only cost you around $3.

Trakai Castle dates from the 14th century, and it was one of the most vital strongholds through Lithuania’s history. The magical castle will take your breath away with its scenic setting and magnificent architectural design. The surrounding lake makes the scene even more beautiful, giving you a nice opportunity to take incredible photos that will make your Instagram followers green with envy!

The interior of the castle was turned into a museum, so you can enjoy walking around the castle and learning about the rich history of Lithuania at the same time.   

Finally, take a boat ride around the castle. This is a great way to capture the perfect photo of the castle and fully enjoy the nature surrounding it!
