Lion's Head, Cape Town, South Africa

First stop, South Africa, and the iconic Lion's Head with the Cape Town skyline, seen from Table Mountain National Park, one of the New Seven Wonders of Nature. The post asks if I'll feel dizzy at the summit. Yes. Yes, I will.

Thu Bon River, Hoi An, Vietnam

Then Vietnam, and the Thu Bon River in Hoi An, where fishing is traditionally done from a round bamboo basket boat in the Bai Mau coconut grove. A must-see cultural experience. A round boat? I'll mostly be going in circles.

Symi, Greece

Over to Greece, and Symi, a hidden gem of the Aegean, with pastel neoclassical mansions and tranquil harbors. The insider tip: skip the crowds between September and June. Noted. Calendar's already open.

Patagonia, South America

Next, Patagonia, with Australis Cruises, sailing to remote and breathtaking corners where access is limited and few others have been. Some places are meant to be explored differently. Mine involves a very warm jacket.

Savona, Italy

Then Italy, and Savona on the Ligurian coast. Colorful coastal charm, beautiful beaches, cobblestone alleys and the flavors of Liguria. I'm here for the neighborhood life. And, let's be honest, the flavors.

British Virgin Islands

Over to the Caribbean, and the British Virgin Islands, where island hopping means discovering a new paradise every day. New island, new paradise. Same sunglasses.

Chain Bridge, Budapest, Hungary

And finally, Budapest, and a stroll across the Szechenyi Chain Bridge over the Danube, between Buda and Pest, with Buda Castle lit up behind it. History, romance, food and views. Which is exactly why next week, that's where you'll find me.
