This Seogwipo cafe is a small but cozy space, like your own hideout. Seojong Garden is a place where coffee is basic, and desserts and brunch are also delicious, giving you the joy of discovering a hidden restaurant. The coffee is good and the cake is unexpectedly delicious. It is an oily and soft dessert. The view is great and the inside is pretty! Parking must be done in the alley next to the cul-de-sac. #newyearvibes #couplestrip

You can see the color of the walls, the roads, the trees, the windows, the doors reflect a time when mom and dad asked you to go home for dinner 30 years ago, when you were still enjoying your life and not having to worry about money. Gubei Water Town really succeeded in bringing people back to their memory, achieving this even from the attitudes of the local residents who served a cup of hot chocolate. Sometimes people need to slow down their life and realize that their inner peace can be found when they choose to free their mind from all concerns and life obstacles they have.

Dali, One of the Most Scenic Places in China located at Yunnan. Yunnan is a province of Flower , beautiful landscape surrounded by snowy mountains. I’m absolutely stunned by its natural beauty. You’ll need to fly to Kunming international airport,the capital of Yunnan. Then, a train / bus / taxi transfer to Dali. Must visit the Ancient City of Xizhou, which offers a great selection of Silver accessories , cotton dye art, handmade souvenirs etc.. Erhai Lake was a highlight along the journey. It is a huge lake, which can be accessed from most parts of the city; however, the further you go from the city, the less people and better the views. #travel #couplestrip #thingstodo #china #yunnan #familytravel #naturalwonders #chinatown

While there are plenty of cages in Jeju with stunning views. I think Isla does it both with the views and the set up. They have so much space. Almost a mini lake in the property. It is located slightly away. But this allows it a major advantage of space. As far as the menu goes, it is limited but decent. The price with such a setting is bound to be more than normal but the more cafes i visit, it all starts to feel normal. It's a holiday destination afterall. #koreatrip #afternoonteatime #couplestrip

Busy vibe, and happy customers but a short wait to get in, and while I was there several groups turned away because it was busy. The food is very good, with plenty of options and add ons with most dishes. The staff were abundantly helpful and friendly. We ordered a flat white and point of origin coffee, with the staff member recommending one from Ethiopia. Both were superb. I had the corn cakes and my wife had the poached eggs on sourdough. Both meals were amazingly tasty and the portions were generous. Coffee was good but not exceptional. You like up at the counter to order but they do deliver the food to your table. Recommended. #newzealandtrip #cafes #couplestrip

#europetrip #switzerland #swiss #travel #thingstodo #love #couplestrip #familytravel #city #romance #staycation Lucerne, nestled by Lake Lucerne and surrounded by snow-capped mountains, exudes a timeless charm that feels straight out of a fairytale. Begin your visit with a stroll across the Chapel Bridge, its wooden arches adorned with vibrant flowers and paintings that tell stories of the city’s past. The old town, with its cobblestone streets and frescoed buildings, invites you to wander and discover cozy cafés and boutique shops. When I visited, I was enchanted by the magical reflections of the city lights on the lake at dusk, with the majestic Mount Pilatus standing tall in the background. A sunset lake cruise offered a serene way to soak in the beauty, while a trip up to Mount Rigi revealed panoramic vistas I’ll never forget. Lucerne combines natural beauty, rich history, and a romantic ambiance that captivates every traveler. Its walkable layout and excellent train connections make it an unmissable gem in Central Switzerland.

We have had brekkie and brunches here several times. The fenugreek potatoes with the sausage was good but i found the potatoes a bit on the hard side but the flavour was nice. The problem was the sausage. There was a single sausage and it tasted a bit weird. Wasn't sure if it had gone off, but we did get a bit sick afterward. It is a nice cafe and the food is quite nice. A bit disappointed in one of the dishes but the other food items were great. #newzealandtrip #couplestrip #travel

The Cafe is nice and spacious, with a back area with floral decorations. Their carrot cake, scones were very nice especially the carrot cake.Menu food item wasn't doing it for me though... The Spicy miso noodle was a bowl of mess, not presented well. It's a mis-mash of different stuff, almost like a salad soup.Had the big breakfast which was OK, nothing special. We added the cooked salmon which was just their cured salmon pan fried. #newzealandtrip #couplestrip

#bigbuddhabangkok It was the last day of our Bangkok trip and we decided to treat ourselves something really nice and found 100 Mahaseth!

Tokyo is a fascinating blend of modernity and tradition, with endless experiences to offer. Use the efficient metro system, and consider getting a Suica or Pasmo card for convenience.

The crisp air and clear skies made the castle’s medieval architecture stand out even more against the stunning backdrop of Lake Geneva and snow-capped Alps. We were lucky to find the castle surprisingly uncrowded, allowing us to explore at our own pace, lingering in each room and taking in the history and beauty without the usual crowds.

With a rented car and spirits high, we set off towards the Great Ocean Road. Stop 1: Geelong Our first stop was Geelong, where we stretched our legs along the waterfront. The vibrant art installations and the peaceful marina set a relaxed tone for the journey ahead. Stop 2: Split Point Lighthouse (小紅帽燈塔) The iconic lighthouse at Aireys Inlet was a charming sight. Surrounded by stunning coastal views, it made for some postcard-worthy photos. The short walk around the area was refreshing, with the salty breeze keeping us energized. Stop 3: Apollo Bay for Early Dinner We arrived in Apollo Bay just in time for an early dinner at the Fishermen’s Co-op. Fresh seafood, especially the fish and chips, was a highlight, paired perfectly with the sound of waves nearby. Stop 4: Twelve Apostles for Sunset We rushed to the Twelve Apostles to catch the sunset, and it was absolutely worth it. Watching the golden light illuminate the dramatic limestone stacks was a breathtaking experience—one that will stay etched in my memory forever. Night Stay: Seafarers Getaway We ended the day at Seafarers Getaway, nestled along the coastline. The view from the room was spectacular, with the sound of waves lulling us to sleep.

Shennong Street feels like stepping into a charming time capsule, where history meets creativity. Lined with beautifully preserved traditional houses, the street is alive with boutique shops, art galleries, and cozy cafés. Lanterns strung across the alley cast a warm glow as you wander through, browsing handmade trinkets and unique souvenirs. As night falls, the atmosphere turns magical, with soft music and the buzz of friendly locals sharing stories. It’s the perfect blend of old-world charm and modern artistry—an experience that lingers long after your visit. I recommend to visit here at night as most of the shops and vendors will be open during this timing. Additionally, be sure to make the effort to explore the boutique stores as they do offer unique items which in my personal experience, can't be found in other parts of Taiwan. #travel#couplestrip#familytravel#china#trip
