No trip to Switzerland is complete without visitin No trip to Switzerland is complete without visiting at least one mountain 🗻

We took a day trip to Mount Titlis in Engelberg, which has a lot of unique things to do at the top other than skiing 🎿

Even if you visit outside of winter, make sure you come better prepared than we did 😅

Have you been up any Swiss mountains before? 🇨🇭

Nothing quite beats an early morning in the Ardale Nothing quite beats an early morning in the Ardales 🌄

While this part of Malaga is very famous for the Caminto del Rey walking route, I’d highly recommend driving around the area to see what else you can find 🚘

There are a lot of beautiful viewpoints, some historic sites, and opportunities for water sports on the different lakes, so there’s something for everyone! 📸

If you’re planning to visit the Ardales in winter, you may find it a little chilly so bring some warm clothes, and maybe a blanket too (like @nomadix.ca puffer blanket) 🥶

Have you explored this part of Malaga before? 🇪🇸

Berlin is a very underrated city to visit in the w Berlin is a very underrated city to visit in the winter ❄️

Sure, you may not have as much sunlight, but there are a lot of great things to do in Berlin regardless 🤩

If you’re visiting in November or December, make sure you take advantage of the Berlin Christmas markets (there are lots around the city) 🎄

Or, if you’re more interested in the Berlin’s history, you should visit ⬇️

Charlottenburg Palace
The Berlin Wall
Brandenburg Gate
Berlin Cathedral
Altes Museum (and other museums) 

Of course, there’s a lot more to see in Berlin than this! I’d recommend no less than 3 days here - but more if you can! 🙌🏼

What’s your favourite thing about Berlin? 🇩🇪

No, this isn’t Italy - it’s Spain! 👀 Cartagena is No, this isn’t Italy - it’s Spain! 👀

Cartagena is located in the region of Murcia, just to the east of Andalucia 🌞

It’s famous for its impressive Roman ruins like the theatre and Roman baths 🎭

It’s a beautiful city in Spain to explore for a day or two, and it’s very walkable which is a bonus 🤩

When you’re done exploring the old town, you can take a stroll along the waterfront and take in the impressive views there too ⛵️

Have you travelled to Cartagena, Spain yet? 🇪🇸

One of my favourite day trips from Malaga has to b One of my favourite day trips from Malaga has to be Mijas Pueblo 🏘️

This beautiful white village sits high up in the hills, offer a stunning view of the Costa del Sol below 🌞

All of the main attractions are within walking distance of one another, and there are plenty of picturesque whitewashed streets to enjoy 📸

Make sure you bring a good pair of walking shoes or boots though, like ours from naturalecoworld - there are a couple of hilly areas and some steps to climb! 👟🥾

Would you like to spend a day in Mijas Pueblo in the winter? 🇪🇸
