Trip Moments Recommendations
This charming village is a must visit
Experience the unique and magical sunrise view of thick solemn mist covering the lake like a weighty woolen blanket at Ban Rak Thai, a small highland village nestled in the lush backcountry of Mae Hong Son province in Northern Thailand. The village is set in a valley surrounded by hills and tea plantations on the edge of a reservoir with cool and fresh air all year round. This sleepy village is famous for its breathtaking views and tea cultivation. Because of its remote location, the village is still little known to tourists, a great getaway to recharge. Best time to visit is beetween Nov-Feb.
Location - Baan Rak Thai, Maehongsorn Province, Thailand

Snow Paradise @ Bretton Woods, New Hampshire
We had the opportunity to spend our winter holidays in New Hampshire, with Bretton Woods as our destination.
The entire state was covered in pristine white snow, creating a breathtakingly beautiful landscape wherever we looked.
Our visit to the Bretton Woods Ski Resort Area included a memorable gondola ride to the mountaintop, where the snow-covered scenery stretched out in all directions, offering a stunning 360° view of the landscape below. It was a truly magical experience. (Even more satisfying by having a cup of hot coffee while enjoying the view.)
We enjoyed quality time spent at Bretton Woods, without necessarily having to ski or snowboard.

Winter Escape @ The Lodge at Spruce Peak
The Lodge at Spruce Peak is undeniably one of the finest ski resorts we have experienced in the United States. Located amidst the breathtaking beauty of snow-covered mountains, this resort offers an unparalleled winter vacation experience.
Designed to resemble a charming mountain village, the resort boasts all the amenities one could desire for a perfect getaway. From outdoor hot tubs, where guests can soak in the warmth while admiring the snow-covered peaks, to the ice skating rink at the heart of the village, surrounded by variety of cozy restaurants and gift shops, there is something for everyone to enjoy.
One of the most appealing aspects of the resort is the ability to spend an entire day without hitting the slopes. For those like us, seeking a winter escape, the resort offers endless opportunities for relaxation and enjoyment. As evening falls, the resort transforms into a magical wonderland, illuminated by twinkling lights that adorn every corner, creating a truly enchanting atmosphere.
Our stay at The Lodge at Spruce Peak in Vermont was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment we arrived until the time of our departure, we were captivated by the charm and beauty of this remarkable destination.

We also had a meal at Kyubey Ginza for traditional sushi. The taste was good, maybe it’s because I’m a big fan of Japanese cuisine. The price is considered affordable. If you’re around this area, can give it a try. Aside from this restaurant, we were basically eating street food and snacks for the whole day 😆

Trip to Helsinki, Finland 🇫🇮
It was a winter trip to Finland with friends and we just love it. As soon as we reached Helsinki airport, we checked visited Market Square for our lunch. Most of the food that we've ordered were good especially salmon and caviar!
We then visited the most famous Helsinki Catheral. It is a distinctive landmark in the Helsinki city. They opened from 9am to 5pm, from Monday to Friday. We reached there around 2pm and it was kinda packed with tourist. We checked with the lady working there and was told that early morning around 9am would have lesser people. If you are here for good pictures, you may take this into consideration.
Helsinki Catheral
📍Unioninkatu 29, 00170 Helsinki, Finland
On the second day, we visited Rovaniemi, a city in Finland. The city was stunning 😍 We checked in to Lapland Hotel Ounasvaara Chalets. We then visited Ounasvaara Ski Centre. My friends doesn't really know how to ski, so we booked 90 minutes personal trainer and it costed her around €110. The view around the area was just so amazing and I would really recommend you to visit. This is my most favourite place to visit in Finland
Ounasvaara Ski Centre
📍Taunontie 14, 96600 Rovaniemi, Finland
We then visited the most famous Nothernmost McDonald after a tiring day of skiing.

On the third day, we visited Santa Claus Village. It is free to visit and we were able to take some good pictures with the Santa Claus and feel the Christmas vibes ❄️🎄🧑🎄 We also went for Husky Rides. The distance was about 2km and it costs around €45. I was an unforgettable experience and the view down the path was amazing. The whole journey was “fast and furious” 🤣. We also tried Reindeer Sleigh Ride. The distance was about 1km and it costs around €30. I personally like Husky rides better 🥰🥰 But if you have sufficient time, definitely you should try both ‼️
Santa Claus Village
📍96930 Rovaniemi, Finland
Lastly, we took snowmobile to see the aurora. Due to weather conditions, we were not able to see any. But the experience was really good. Will definitely come back again for the aurora 🥰

🇨🇭 Half Day Trip in Lungern-The Fairy Town
#thingstodo
I had a fantastic half-day trip to Lungern, a cozy little spot in the Swiss Alps. ⛰️
🚊 How to Go
My adventure started with a scenic train ride from Interlaken to Lucerne. Lungern was right in the middle of my journey, making it the perfect place to hop off and explore.
🧳 Luggage Storage
When I got there, I dropped my bags off at Emma Hotel, right by the train station. They have these handy self-service storage room where you can leave your stuff for just 5 euros. It was super easy and meant I could wander around without lugging my bags everywhere.
🌱 What to do
💎 I love the Lungern Lake so much! The water is so clear, and the mountains around it are just stunning. I loved walking by the lake, snapping lots of photos, and just chilling in such a peaceful place.
🫏 One of the highlights for me was meeting some of the cutest animals ever! I bumped into friendly donkeys, cows grazing peacefully, and even some adorable cats lounging around. They were all super friendly and made my day even more special.
🌲 Inseli Lungern-This little piece of paradise, nestled right in the heart of Lungern, was an unexpected delight on my trip. Inseli Lungern is this quaint, picturesque park that’s like a hidden oasis. It’s right by the lake, offering stunning views and a peaceful spot to just sit back and relax.
My half-day in Lungern was just amazing. It's such a sweet place with loads to see and do. Whether you’re into relaxing by the lake or checking out the views from above, you’re going to have a great time. Definitely a must-visit if you’re traveling through Switzerland!

Place Must be Visited - Jungfrau Grindelwald
Switzerland🇨🇭Jungfraujoch
During the few days in Switzerland, most of the time was staying in Grindelwald, and one of the most things I want to do is to visit Jungfraujoch Mountain. I saw many people recommend First Mountain. I also like exciting activities. However, due to time and budget constraints, and the fact that I was traveling during the Christmas period (First Mountain seems to be closed during Christmas), so I chose the Jungfraujoch (quite close to my hotel). After going there, I felt it was worth it and I really liked it very much.
In the morning, it takes about 15-20 minutes to walk from Hotel Cabana to Grindelwald Terminal. After that, we took the cable car and then transferred to the train to the top of the mountain. The weather was not very good in the morning and there was no view from the top of the mountain. But you can experience the feeling of a snowstorm at the top of the mountain. It was my first time to see a snowstorm, and I really felt it was very novel and exciting.
There is no view when taking the train because it passes through a cave and reaches the mountain. Then we visited the history of Jungfraujoch and walked through the ice track inside. It was December and some activity areas were closed. If you want to go then, you can go directly to the official website to find out more and plan your itinerary. You can get discount to purchase the ticket when use the Swiss Travel Pass or Swiss Half Fare Pass.
After the visit, we had lunch at Jungfraujoch and then took the train down the mountain. Before taking the cable car (Eigergletscher), we also walked outside to look at the mountain (it should be a ski slope for tourists). The weather became better and can see a very clear Mountain View. We can also take a lot of photos, but be careful of the skiing people.
We spend about 4 hours (including transport, tour and food). If you want to go, so plan half day to stay there. View the nice scenery and landscape of Grindelwald and Jungfrau. I think it is definitely worth it!

🪴 Kew at Winter 🪴
It is mid-January and there is still lots to see and do in this Royal Botanic Garden. One of the upsides of visiting in the winter is that there are no crowds and you get to appreciate a different aspect of the invigorating landscape.
The temperate and tropical glasshouses are excellent places to linger when the bracing January breeze gets a little chilly. Our weather only regret is not being able to do the treetop walkway die to high winds.
Don’t miss out on visiting this oasis just because it is winter time. Wrap up warmly and take advantage of the lack of crowds. #London #Royalgarden #Winter

A magical wonderland during the winter
My visit to Shirakawa, Japan, was nothing short of enchanting. The city, a marvel of beauty, was blanketed in pristine snow, transforming it into a breathtaking white wonderland. The iconic thatched-roof houses, known as gassho-zukuri, stood gracefully amidst the winter landscape, creating a scene straight out of a postcard.
The serene atmosphere was accompanied by a profound sense of tranquility, as if time itself slowed down in the midst of this picturesque setting. Walking through the narrow streets, the crisp air and the delicate snowfall added to the magical ambiance. It was a moment frozen in time, where nature and architecture harmonized to create an unforgettable experience in the heart of this Japanese gem.

Caribbean Dream 🏖️
🏖 Did you know that Egyptian Queen Cleopatra and Roman Emperor Mark Anthony swam here?
Cleopatra is the most famous beach on Turkish Riviera.
It owes its name to the last hellenistic Queen of Egypt. According to legends, Antony brought as a gift to his beloved Cleopatra the Mediterranean pearl-the luxurious city of Alanya. Every time she went from Egypt for camping, the Queen stopped here to swim in the mirror-clear lagoon and soak up the magnificent sandy carpet. Since then, the beach of Cleopatra irresistibly attracts those who expect a royal vacation.
Lovely beach, lovely place to snorkel and see fish around the rocks, extremely popular beach so can be quite littered in spots
It's a Really Great Beach.❤️ ❤️ ❤️

Xmas Market at a UNESCO World Heritage Site
#christmas2023
While the Sagrada Familia itself is already a great excuse to hop on a plane to Barcelona, Spain, there's much more magic to it if you visit in Winter. Specifically, in December, with Christmas just around the corner.
Being the work of Barcelona's pride, Gaudí, the Sagrada Familia is famed for being continuously under construction since 1882 - that's 141 years! While it will be completed soon within the next decade, there's so much to see and do.
One shouldn't miss the Sagrada Familia Christmas Market after a tour of the cathedral itself. While not the largest in Barcelona, it has a lot of charm and makes a great photo spot with the Sagrada Familia towering in the background. Treat your senses to a feast: expect colorful Christmas trees and decorations on sale, talented buskers performing, cured meats and ham, fresh cheese, mulled wine, and of course, piping hot churros that go well with thick and velvety hot chocolate. Such a combo goes for only €6, and the serving is huge!
I highly suggest not giving this market a miss. It's situated right by a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and brings out the best of Barcelona and Europe. Drop by for a magical christmas!

Chilly but laid-back Tianjin
Tianjin is a modern city which is a 30 mins by train from Beijing. It's easy to visit if you're visiting Beijing.
Tianjin doesn't have as much to do as it's famous neighbor but it's still nice to explore and see some historic sites. For example, Tianjin has some foreign concessions so it has a flavor that kind of reminds you of Shanghai.
There are also a few small eats that are famous in Tianjin such as goubuli buns.
If you visit in the winter, you'll get a real feel of a cold winter that is missing from the southern part of China. Make sure you bundle up and wear plenty of clothes if you visit around winter time!

Harbin Ice & Snow Festival ❄️ ✨
#freehotelstay
When we moved to China, we knew we had to visit the Harbin Ice & Snow Festival!
Each year, expert teams construct a city of ice blocks. The sculptures come alive at night as the neon lights begin to glow.
Is it freezing? Yes!! But there are many warm drink vendors. Fuel up on coffee or milk tea before taking a walk through the winter wonderland. When you need a break, pop back into a tent for another warm drink.
Outside of the festival, take time to explore Harbin’s parks and snap photos of Saint Sophia’s.
Definitely add this one to your bucket list!
❄️ Wear proper layers! Temps are well below freezing, so you’ll need quality insulation to stay warm.
❄️ Visit the snow festival by day.
❄️ Get to the ice park an hour or two before sunset so you can see the sculptures in the daylight, then watch the lights come to life after the sun goes down.

Do take note that November is the low period where a lot of the things are closed in Dolomites such as cable car service and restaurants but that makes it a good period to visit with much lesser crowds where you can enjoy the peace and serenity of Mother Nature!

3. Lago di Sorapis (a 4-5hrs hike)

1. Antelao Dolomiti Mountain Resort (very value for money with good views of the Antelao mountain, nice breakfast spread, included spa access and located beside the petrol kiosk for easy refueling if you are driving) there’s also EV charging for Tesla available! Book through Trip.com for the best deal!
