It continues along the Wild Coast and the Garden Route, shaped by crashing waves, quiet beaches and ever-changing light, before reaching the vibrant streets, dramatic cliffs and natural landmarks of Cape Town. A story of contrast and connection — wildlife and ocean, vast landscapes and intimate moments — distilled into images that reflect the spirit, diversity and rhythm of South Africa.</p>/africa/comores/Sun, 28 Sep 2025 00:00:00 +0200/africa/comores/ <img src="/africa/comores/feature_hu412e80ae39c8adb6e250491bc82b76fc_1106475_filter_2999419463905045822.jpg" /> <p><no value></p>/asia/bhutan-2024/Sat, 28 Sep 2024 00:00:00 +0200/asia/bhutan-2024/ <img src="/asia/bhutan-2024/feature_hu0e7e390e0053d1b43a9e1733183fa326_1452474_filter_2999419463905045822.jpg" /> <p>Flying into Paro, surrounded by the dramatic peaks of the Himalayas, I immediately felt that Bhutan would be unlike any place I had visited before. Traveling through Thimphu, Punakha, and the quiet mountain valleys, I discovered a country deeply rooted in tradition, where monasteries overlook rice fields and prayer flags move gently in the wind. One of the most unforgettable moments was hiking to the iconic Tiger’s Nest Monastery, clinging to a cliff high above the Paro Valley. Standing there, surrounded by silence and mountains, I truly felt the spirit of Bhutan — peaceful, authentic, and timeless.</p>/asia/nepal-2024/Sun, 15 Sep 2024 00:00:00 +0200/asia/nepal-2024/ <img src="/asia/nepal-2024/feature_hud33e6c07595796b8b8aabef0baa4fdd5_364503_filter_2999419463905045822.jpg" /> <p>In Nepal, I explored the vibrant streets of Kathmandu, where ancient temples and bustling markets create an unforgettable atmosphere. Watching the sunrise over the Himalayan peaks was one of the most memorable moments of my journey. In Chitwan National Park, I entered the jungle in search of rhinos and other wildlife, experiencing a completely different side of the country. Nepal impressed me with its diversity — from sacred heritage sites to breathtaking mountain landscapes and rich wildlife.</p>/asia/tibet-2024-beijing-to-kathmandu-overland/lhasa-to-kathmandu/Sun, 08 Sep 2024 00:00:00 +0200/asia/tibet-2024-beijing-to-kathmandu-overland/lhasa-to-kathmandu/ <img src="/asia/tibet-2024-beijing-to-kathmandu-overland/lhasa-to-kathmandu/feature_hu855e60474b6ed867d0adb33d2e2d9d9c_752518_filter_2999419463905045822.jpg" /> <p><no value></p>/asia/tibet-2024-beijing-to-kathmandu-overland/lhasa/Wed, 04 Sep 2024 00:00:00 +0200/asia/tibet-2024-beijing-to-kathmandu-overland/lhasa/ <img src="/asia/tibet-2024-beijing-to-kathmandu-overland/lhasa/feature_hu18968df6baa5468ac90432e084e5bdf0_958348_filter_2999419463905045822.jpg" /> <p><no value></p>/asia/tibet-2024-beijing-to-kathmandu-overland/beijing/Sat, 31 Aug 2024 00:00:00 +0200/asia/tibet-2024-beijing-to-kathmandu-overland/beijing/ <img src="/asia/tibet-2024-beijing-to-kathmandu-overland/beijing/feature_hub9d98add7ddb00b37301ae0c469c1913_1471692_filter_2999419463905045822.jpg" /> <p><no value></p>/asia/tibet-2024-beijing-to-kathmandu-overland/Sat, 31 Aug 2024 00:00:00 +0200/asia/tibet-2024-beijing-to-kathmandu-overland/<no value>/asia/north-india-revealed-2023-2024/Fri, 15 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0100/asia/north-india-revealed-2023-2024/ <img src="/asia/north-india-revealed-2023-2024/feature_hu5ec514c0ad16198f87b7787af6e6c979_482615_filter_2999419463905045822.jpg" /> <p><no value></p>/africa/gorillas-to-vic-falls-2023/Mon, 12 Jun 2023 00:00:00 +0200/africa/gorillas-to-vic-falls-2023/ <img src="/africa/gorillas-to-vic-falls-2023/_index_hu2a350f01e494bd14b647a06173022d0b_1056789_filter_2999419463905045822.jpg" /> <p></p>/africa/morocco-2022/Sat, 01 Oct 2022 00:00:00 +0200/africa/morocco-2022/ <img src="/africa/morocco-2022/feature_huaaaccf2bd8f654aee3ba814783583b31_940993_filter_2999419463905045822.jpg" /> <p><no value></p>/america/costa-rica-2021/Sun, 28 Nov 2021 00:00:00 +0100/america/costa-rica-2021/ <img src="/america/costa-rica-2021/feature_hu48b383443cefc653efbac4e74e29bc1d_874077_filter_2999419463905045822.jpg" /> <p><no value></p>
