Nicaragua 🇳🇮

They call this amazing country "The Land of Lakes and Volcanoes," and after I visited in 2022, I see why 🌋

It may not be at the top of many bucket lists, but Nicaragua is stunning. Full of fascinating history, tasty food (quesillos en bolsa FTW), and friendly, beautiful people 😍

The Buddha Dordenma 🇧🇹

At 169 feet tall, the Buddha Dordenma in Thimphu, Bhutan, is an absolute marvel 🤩Not only is it one of the largest Buddha statues in the world, but it also holds over 100,000 smaller Buddhas inside! ❤️ Have you added it to your bucket list yet? 🧘‍♂️ #Bhutan

The Parthenon in Athens 🇬🇷

This iconic temple to Athena atop the famous Acropolis dates back to the 5th century BC. It was built in the classical architectural style out of Pentelic marble. Even in its damaged state, it's still a beauty! 🤩

Rio de Janeiro, Brazil 🇧🇷

Did you know this colorful (and often misunderstood) city was founded by the Portuguese as São Sebastião do Rio de Janeiro on March 1, 1565?

One of many cool things I learned during my visit in 2020 🔥

Agra, India 🇮🇳

The Taj Mahal is easily the most famous attraction in Agra (and all of India), but it's far from the only things to do in this magical city 🤩

The Taj Mahal, Agra Fort, and the Tomb of I’timād-ud-Daulah are all stunning examples of Mughal architecture ❤️

Guyana 🇬🇾

One of the smallest countries in South America, Guyana often gets overlooked, but it's actually one of the world's most diverse countries, with a culture and cuisine shaped by Indigenous, African, Chinese, Indian, and Portuguese influences.

It's also GORGEOUS 😍 #Travel #Travelsky

Uzbekistan 🇺🇿

In 2019, I had the pleasure of taking part in the World Influencers Conference in this virtually unknown Central Asian country.

We traveled to Tashkent, Khiva, Bukhara, and Samarkand together, and then I explored Shahrisabz and Termez on my own. I love this country and the food! 🤤

Dominica 🇩🇲

A tiny Caribbean paradise that a lot of people confuse with the Dominican Republic. 🏝️

It's known as "The Nature Island" and is packed with lush rainforests, cascading waterfalls, gorgeous beaches, and an amazing history and culture 😍

Malta 🇲🇹

Between the fascinating history, incredible culture & cuisine, and breathtaking sites, I was in heaven 😍

Try the lampuka (dolphinfish), bigilla (beans w/ garlic), hobz biz-zejt (bread dipped in olive oil), and seafood in general. They're all to die for 🔥

Lebanon 🇱🇧

My trip to Lebanon in 2022 coincided with a historical snowstorm, which made for some unique photo opportunities at Qalaat Faqra! ❅

Also pictured: the Temple of Bacchus at Baalbek, the gate to the Tyre Hippodrome, and Raouche Rock in Beirut 🏛️

Albania is a beautiful country that deserves more attention. It's every bit as gorgeous as Italy, France, Greece, and Spain, but without all the massive crowds 🇦🇱 #Travelsky #TravelAddicts
