Michelle Koral-Rea - Family Travel on Instagram: "The Walrus Room at Pairi Daiza Zoo in Belgium is by far the COOLEST hotel room we have ever stayed in!
PDZ is one of the places, that we’ve experienced, that the pictures and videos cannot do it justice.
Later this week and next week, I’ll be posting a million videos and pictures with more information about our stay.

I will also be posting extra videos in my saved Highlights titled “Belgium PD”.

Kait Simek on Instagram: "These are some of my top Sedona hikes that I do on the regular. Keep reading to see the stats on each trail:

WILSON MOUNTAIN [ 10.6 miles, 2800 feet of elevation ] — If you know me, you know my obsession with Wilson. It’s the tallest point in Sedona and the views are unmatched. This is probably the trail I hike the most out of any other trail.

SOLDIER’S PASS CAVE [ 4.8 miles, 812 feet of elevation ] — One of Sedona’s most unique cave formations, but only accessible to those who are able to climb up to it. This hike also includes the seven sacred pools, so you hit two birds with one stone.

MERRY-GO-ROUND ROCK [ 0.4 miles, 102 feet of elevation ] — Finding this lookout is an adventure in itself! It requires 45 minutes of off-roading and a very short walk to get t

Kerry Murphy | Travel Creator | 🍑 🇺🇸 on Instagram: "🧳 It ends up at Unclaimed Baggage where items are either donated or sold in their massive warehouse in Scottsboro, Alabama. You’ll find 7000+ unique items here from clothes to designer goods, and technology.

Only .03 percent of checked bags do not find their way to their original owner and only after an extensive three months search, these bags end up here!

I’ve always wanted to visit so we made a pitstop on our way from Atlanta to the US Space and Rocket Museum in Huntsville, AL. We will definitely be back when we have more time to shop!

Love, Helen on Instagram: "One in three residents of Monaco are millionaires and this local Monaco thrift store is worth a visit to play red carpet dress up!

Le Dressing 
1 Rue Princesse Florestine 
98000 Monaco

Le dressing has three locations all near the train station and you can easily visit for a day from Nice, Cannes or anywhere on the Côte d’Azur. The woman who run the store are incredibly friendly and will help you explore. 

Handbags and shoes in particular are perfect to shop here, with Hermes Birkins amongst the collection. My favourites were Alaia shoes and bags!

If you’re in Monaco, don’t miss this designer thrift store!

Harrison Miller & Lauren Witherow on Instagram: "And it’s cheaper too 👀🏝️

Welcome to the Cook Islands, a tiny cluster of islands in the middle of Polynesia. A land of coconuts, crystal clear water, palm trees and volcanic mountains 🐠🌴⛰️

It’s said to be like Hawaii was 50 years ago, there’s no buildings here that can be taller than a palm tree and no multi national chains are allowed! 

If you’re looking for slow paced island life without the commercialisation then this little country is definitely where it’s at 🌺🤗

Bianca 🌎🥾 travel + hiking + outdoors on Instagram: "MUST SAVE for your next Grand Canyon trip! Although Havasu Falls is arguably one of the most gorgeous falls here, there is another one you may not have heard of! 

Tucked away off of the North Kaibab Trail is a place called Ribbon Falls. This is a long and hard hike but 100% worth it. Round trip it is 16.8 miles with over 5K ft. of elevation gain. Or if you want to make it even longer like I did, you can make it a stop along the way when doing Rim-to-Rim. This route is much harder and ends up being over 25 miles. 

This hike is no joke and you NEED to come prepared. When we started the hike in the top of the canyon, it was very chilly. But temperatures rise fast and by time we were in the bottom of the canyon, it was 100 degrees out. Ma

Hope • Chattanooga Hiking Tour Guide on Instagram: "Who’s been to The Caverns?! 🎶🤘🏼🎸🪩 add this to your Tennessee bucket list ✔️

📍The Caverns (@thecavernstn) is an underground live music venue located in Pelham, TN - 🚗 1 hour from Chattanooga & 90 min from Nashville in the beautiful South Cumberland Mountains.

🌡️ The cave stays 59 degrees year-round with 91% humidity, and can hold up to 1200 people! We wore a t-shirt, pants & a light jacket and felt comfortable inside. 

🍔 There’s incredible acoustic sound & lights, restrooms, food & drink concessions, plus it’s accessible for all due to the smooth concrete floor. 

🏕️ They also do daily cave tours, have an outdoor amphitheater, on-site lodging & camping. 

🎥 We got to visit for the first time this weekend after winning tickets

1. Quinta da Regaleira
2. Monserrate Palace

📍Pico do Arieiro, Madeira Island Portugal 🇵🇹 
Aka the stairway to heaven!

Shout out to @natyexplora for tips on this spot & shot🩷 

This staircase is only 15 minutes into the first part of the hike! The Pico Arieiro to Pico Ruivo hike is best done one-way! You should start where the sunrise viewpoint (Pico Ariero) is and hike 5.5 miles to the top of the highest mountain on Madeira (Pico Ruivo)

After you enjoy the views at Pico Ruivo, you only have to walk 1 hour to Achada do Teixeira. This is where you will get picked up and taken back to your car at Pico Arieiro. Make sure to set up a transfer/taxi the day before. We got picked up at 11:45am at the end and it was the perfect amount of time on this hike. If

Jayne Gorman - UK Travel Blogger on Instagram: "Salt Lick Safari Lodge consists of 96 round rooms on stilts that offer incredible views of the local wildlife who come to nearby waterholes. 

The rooms are surprisingly generous & cosy but it’s hard to pay attention to anything other than the picture windows, which during my stay framed two elephants having a stand off over who got to drink from the waterhole first!

Salt Lick Safari Lodge also has an underground lookout right by the waterhole where you can get incredibly close to the wildlife in a safe environment. The views from here are particularly spectacular during dry season as large groups of elephants, buffaloes, zebras and various antelopes (sometime trailed by big cats) come for scarce water.

Handmade Sea Jewelry  by Karina Nadykto on Instagram: "Not every beach is alike when it comes to finding a lot of shark 🦈  teeth 🦷…

🦈 our favorite place to go is “Caspersen Beach” Venice,FL

🦈 why Venice? 
Sharks’ teeth are abundant on the Venice shoreline because about a mile offshore in the Gulf of Mexico is an ancient river bottom where fossils get washed away layer by layer. The ocean floor off Venice is gently sloping, creating the perfect condition for fossils to wash onto shore"
