Zakynthos completely blew me away. Shipwreck Beach was even more stunning in real life, and the boat ride to the Blue Caves was a dream. I stayed in a family-run villa and felt so welcome. It was the perfect mix of relaxation and discovery.

The Gili Islands were paradise. No cars, no stress—just ocean, snorkeling with turtles, and fresh seafood every evening. Gili Air was my favorite for its chilled vibe. I extended my stay twice. If you want to disconnect, this is the place.

Meteora is like stepping into a fantasy world. The monasteries suspended in the sky are jaw-dropping, and hiking through the rocky trails felt so peaceful. I’m not even religious, but I left feeling spiritually recharged.

El Gouna is Egypt’s best-kept secret. Super clean, stylish, and full of lagoon-side cafes. The kitesurfing was amazing, and there were enough luxury touches to make it feel like a proper getaway. Will definitely return.

Chamonix was the highlight of my Europe trip. The views of Mont Blanc were breathtaking, and even as a beginner, I loved the glacier hike. The town itself had a cozy alpine feel, with great food and friendly locals. It felt adventurous but still relaxing.
