Neuschwanstein Castle in Bavaria, Germany by Luiz Pires
There are so many places I want to see, I’ve been browsing and bookmarking and basically putting together travel porn (oh dear, that phrase isn’t going to be good for my blog search results is it). I’m going to Nice in may and maybe Davos in the summer, so that should satisfy me for the year. If I had unlimited funds I’d do a leisurely Trans Siberian Railway route through Russia and then travel around China and Japan. Where would you go?

Maybe when I’ll be making film?

i thoroughly recommend edinburgh in springtime. its beautiful!
right now i’d really love a trip to iceland. all epic and occasionally bleak. And any of the locations used in ‘the fall’ would be pretty spectacular!
reply
great stuff:) and even a swiss place :D feels great to see “home stuff”. i live at berne and it looks almost the same :D
and great blog, by the way.

it s amazing!!!
so magical
wooowwwwwwwwww

What an amazing post!
A trip to San Francisco has been on my mind for some days now, I don’t know why.
reply
Wow, these are some inspiring photographs!
Although, I live in Edinburgh and while it is really very beautiful, I’ve never seen it look quite a great as that shot!
reply
Bookmarking this for my own future reference! Was going to pick my favourites, but I think I would love to go to all of them too.
I’d really like to go to Cambodia to the city my mum lived in before the war happened. I can’t remember which city it was now, but I remember her pointing out all the places she used to go to as a child on the Google maps satellite view which was a really cool thing to be able to see.

Really, really, really want to make it to Nepal someday– preferrably soon! I also can’t wait to visit Africa, though I can never decide which part I’d want to visit– probably West. And I’d love it if it was reasonable within my lifetime to visit Iran, as I hear it’s absolutely gorgeous.
Of course, thinking about traveling the world always makes me feel guilty that I’ve barely even touched my own country. I’d definitely like to get more familiar with the U.S. someday, too.

I’ve actually been to Neuschwanstein Castle, and it was one of the most magical experiences of my life.
Tip: Take the horse & buggy up the mountain, the steep incline and long walk is no fun.

of those you’ve posted, I’ve been to Santorini and must say that it is an amazing place! I want to go to Iceland so badly right now….
reply
You should SO! come to Iceland. I’ll happily be your tour-guide :o)
reply
Ah! As a Norwegian I am pleased to see you’ve added Norway to the list. Honningsvåg is really beautiful. I do agree with all the other destinations aswell, and I can confirm that Iceland is beautiful. I loved it there.
Right now my dream place would be the Shetland Islands, it looks so magical there.
reply
Such jaw-droppingly amazing photos/locations! There are so many places I have yet to see, that I’m dying to go to: Greek Islands, Budapest, Morocco, Maldives, the Amazon, Machu Picchu, ah the list is endless…

I will so meet you in Edinburgh (I’ve been and it was so amazing, I dream of going back to spend more time there before anywhere else) and Greece makes my brain go all sparkly inside. Your travel porn was a total kick in the butt to get the fuck out of the house more at least haha.
reply
iceland and greece look fantastic! im trying really hard to save my pennies so i can go on a contiki tour around europe! :)
but wow, those iceland and greece pictures just make me so sad that i dont live there!
reply
wow. wowowowowow. Guess I’ll be adding Fribourg and Oia to MY travel list too. The squished groupings of houses always appeal to me.
Also, I can tell you that Neuschwanstein is amazing even when it’s not all picture-book snowy outside.
reply
wow. making my wanderlust itch. thanks for these beautiful, inspiring photos!

Nice collection. Santorini picture stole my heart, a-ma-zing! I keep on dreaming of exploring Polynesia and Pacific Ocean by sailing. Sigh.
reply
I’ve always wanted to go to Japan and Russia, and since I can remember Egypt because I’m obsessed with the egyptians but everyone I know who has been has come back dreadfully ill. When I was younger we went to Canada but only did the cities and major touristy things, I’d like to go back and see the more rural parts.
reply
ooooh, I am curently studying in Edinburgh this year (i’m french) and it’s such a great and beautiful city, I don’t want to leave ! Good choice ! :)
reply
Now I’m getting that wanderlust feeling! I’ve been to the Castle in the top picture.. worth the trip, and I’ve been to Edinburgh, great city. I really want to go to Santorini big time!
reply
You always manage to find the most beautiful photographs. That photo of the North Coyote Buttes made me gasp, and the one of Santorini was really, really pretty. I’d really like to go to Greece, or Ireland.
reply
The top image looks like it’s packed full of princesses, looks magical! I can’t wait to get travelling, need to see some beauty! These are some great locations you’ve picked out, stunning.
Do you fancy exchanging links by the way? Love your blog oh so much.

But beautiful photos, and beautiful places, just another reminder for myself of how much I need to get my act together and get out there to see it all.

i’m planning a trip to morroco at the moment for easter, its my dream country and although i am sooooo excited about finally getting to go there i cant help but be a little scared that it wont live up to my dreams!!
reply
Wow. Amazing photographs, very inspiering!
reply
Wow wow wow these are gorgeous. I want to travel the whole world now!

LOVE the travel porn.
Recognised the Prague and Santorini photos instantly – I have slightly less impressive versions of them both. The Prague one I’m sure is taken from the castle, looking down onto the roofs (rooves?) – just out of shot is a little veranda where people always seem to be having barbeques and dancing to reggae, totally surreal in wintery Prague but an awesome place.
I’m with you on the Trans-Siberian railway, that’s something I’ve always wanted to do… sigh.
Love you blog btw – you’re v talented.
reply
I love this post – so many beautiful photographs. I also LOVE your photographs of Moscow & St Petersburg. Amazing.
reply
Lovely, inspiring post! I completely understand. I did the Trans-Siberian RR last year. This year, I have a few things on my short-list, but I will probably be more still.

My gosh, these images are stunning. The landscapes just defy the imagination!
reply
Absolutely love all these photos! Now I want to go everywhere…
I have been to the Utah one posted, and it’s…breathtaking and heartstopping and so many other adjectives I can’t even describe. It’s better than the picture, and that is a STUNNING picture.
reply
these photos are inspiring and make me want to jump on a plane RIGHT NOW!
reply
The photographs are a gentle reminder as to why I am traveling! London is a litle cold and grey right now…
reply
My husband and I actually went to Neuschwanstein Castle a few months after our wedding and it was absolutely breathtaking. (Guess that’s why Walt Disney used it as his inspiration for Cinderella’s castle!)
Thank you for showing all of these other beauties! I now have a whole new list of places on my “want to visit” list!
reply
these photos left me speechless! I would like to share some of them with my friends on facebook. Do you mind? I will provide the link.
thank you very much for the inspiration.

all those places in Vietnam look so crowded and dirty. Who’d want to go there?

I would! A lot of interesting places are crowded and dirty, I definitely wouldn’t discount them on those grounds. But of course different people are interested in different experiences so it might not be your cup of tea :)
reply
Those photos are incredibly stuning. I live in PEI Canada so I am pretty far away from all of them but many of them have jumped ontp my list of places to go. Neuschwanstein Castle is so amazing!! That picture is straigh out of a fairytale!
reply
I was in Santorini back in 2006. It is the most beautiful place I have ever been in my life. Absolutely amazing. Highly recommended.
reply
Hi! i was in Neuschwanstein Castle 2 years ago, and it was REALY AMAZING!! you must go there.. its like a fairy tale..glamour :)
reply
Wonderful Pictures! Such color and sharpness in detail. Liked them very much.

Some very interesting and varied locations. I wish that I had the chance to visit more of this World.
