SUCH A HIDDEN GEM!!!
Egholm is such an hidden gem located in the north part of Denmark. Basically it's such a beautiful island however it's untouched.
Despite the wrong belief, it's such a big island and you would have to walk about half an hour to see the interesting Egholm Trolden statue in the middle of the forest.
You can get to the island by ferry which departures every 30 mins.Don’t bring cash with you as the credit/bank cards are always accepted when you purchase your ferry ticket.
You must definetely visit Egholm Trolden statue during daylight as it might be hard to locate it in the night time.
Recommended for everyone!!

The most wonderful year ever! 🌍 🌎
#2024mapped
I am so grateful that I have unlocked 11 new countries in 2024, which is being my greatest year ever in my life! 🥹

Even though the way local people looked at me was so weird, I do love it very much visiting this country.
3. Kazakhstan 🇰🇿
I'm surprised that people here usually eat the horse meat and that was my very first time trying horse meat and was amazing 🥹
4. Uzbekistan 🇺🇿
I love this local food called Laghman 🤤 you should try this bestest food in the country.
5. Brunei Darussaalam 🇧🇳
There has not much attraction to offer but the mosques. But at least you should try come and visit this country for experience.
6. The Philippines 🇵🇭
People here are so polite and welcoming. In addition if you are going to some local alley, you could find them singing karaoke.

#Tianjin
#2024mapped So this year we have decided to travel to Tianjin, since we travel a lot to China and especially to Beijing. I’ve gotta say that even tough Beijing is the capital of China, it’s not as rich as I would imagine a capital city.
When we arrived at Daxing airport, we took a metro to whatever train station you want, because there are a lot of trains to Tianjin and it only takes 30 minutes which is super convenient.
We have stayed at #Citigo hotel which is located right at the walking street where you can find #starbucksreserve #Riverside 66 ##teemall shopping malls, and plenty of street food.
What I loved about this city is that it’s only 30 minutes from Beijing, and the prices are surprisingly lower than Beijing. My favorite chinese city is Shanghai and Tianjin reminded me of Shanghai but much cheaper.
Even the #happyvalley was less crowded, we could play on one attraction 10 times, and played on all attractions without standing in a long queue.
Rise Above the World: Pidurangala’s Perfect Panorama
#2024mapped
Pidurangala Rock offers an exhilarating hike with rewarding panoramic views, especially at sunrise or sunset. The climb is adventurous, with rocky paths and a bit of scrambling near the top.

Exploring a unique temple blends with giant trees in Cambodia
#2024mapped
Experiencing the sacred and cultural site at Ta Prohm Temple, Siem Rap - Cambodia feels like being embraced by Mother Earth. One of the most fascinating aspects of this temple is the giant trees that grow through its buildings and walls. These ancient trees are a testament to the preservation of this historical site over the centuries.
I was in awe as I entered the temple complex, especially when witnessing the unique blend of cultural and religious heritage intertwined with the jungle and the ruined building in several parts of the temple. It's a remarkable sight, and I believe that only at Ta Prohm Temple can you find such a striking combination of growing trees and architectural beauty.
