The Tre Cime hike in the Dolomites is an absolute must but you need to arrive early! Arrive for sunrise to beat the crowds and enjoy a magical sunrise in the mountains ⛰ you can also opt to stay in the Refugio for easy access to the morning light ✨⁣

Tegallalang Rice Terraces

By

Полюбившийся до глубины души о.Бали 🖤
В нем прекрасно все!
Пение птиц – вместо будильника, огненные закаты, необъятные рисовые поля, супер виды, отличная еда на любой вкус и цвет) приятные балйцы, классные знакомства, счастливые и расслабленные жители. А как они празднуют праздники! Восторг. И вы бы видели это звездное небо в «день тишины»!
И никакие прививки от бешенства не нарушили мою душевную гармонию))
А ещё в нашем доме обитают 4 корги!) Это сыграло большим плюсом в выборе 🏡
Рассказ для @tassay_water потому что очень 🙃
Как говорится: выбери меня, выбери меня)

Dolomiti

By

Safe to say that I’m moving to the Dolomites 😍 I’ll send you all my new address once I find a suitable spot. But on a serious note, our day spent hiking around Seceda was easily one of our favorites! 🏔 Make sure to SAVE this post for later so you have all the best tips!⁣
⁣
⁣
Here’s what you need to know: ⁣
⁣
– You can reach Seceda by chairlift from the village of Ortisei to the top of Seceda. The series of two lifts will bring you right to the top in approximately 15 minutes (30 euro/person round trip) and save you the 4-5 hour hike up the mountain. There will be plenty of trails once you reach the top!⁣
⁣
– The chair lift starts running at 8:30am. If you want to experience sunrise on the mountain you will need to come up the night before and stay at one of the Refugios. Make sure to call ahead to book. ⁣
⁣
– The minute you step off the lift, the views will blow you away! For those of you who aren’t interested in hiking, you can reach this view point in under 15 minutes. However, I definitely recommend taking the time to explore! We spent a good 6 hours up top, hiking the trails around Seceda. ⁣
⁣
– Refugio Firenze is the perfect spot for lunch! The food is delicious and affordable, with the Refugio itself surrounded by panoramic views and roaming animals. From here it is just another 1.5 hours back to the Seceda chairlift along trail 1. ⁣
⁣
– There are baby donkeys. If that’s not a reason enough to visit Seceda then I don’t know what is!⁣

Diyaluma Falls

By

Dipping my toe in the pool of possibility 💦 One of my favorite pictures, from one of my favorite days, in one of my favorite countries. The girls and I rented motorbikes and traveled around Ella, Sri Lanka for an entire afternoon 🏍💨 Eventually we made our way to Diyaluma Falls {pictured here} to cool off in the icy water and sit on the edge of the second largest waterfall in the country 😳
