Travel Photos to Get You Through the Pandemic

Travel

Aug 6

If you’re like me, home was kind of fun for a while, but now that you can’t have Europe, you want Europe. I’ve been going through so many travel photos lately, trying to find ones I want to frame for my home (that I seem forever stuck in), and it’s been making me long for the peculiar tang of jet fuel as I board an airplane; the tingling sensation that builds in my feet and skyrockets up to my chest, making me feel anxiously alive upon entering a country I’ve never visited; the jaw dropping collection of colorful homes cascading down a hillside in Portugal; the radiant hues of overflowing spices lined up at a souk in Old Dubai; and the way just the sight of a Napoletana pizza makes my mouth fill up with water as every tastebud in my mouth mimics the sweet, spicy, tangy, richness of just one bite from the pie.

Home is my haven, and I’m so grateful to be able to be healthy, happy and safe. But travel is waiting, and I must go! Looking through travel photos makes me nostalgic, grateful and excited for the future.

Lisbon, Portugal reminds me so much of San Francisco

Here’s a travel photo taken on the rooftop of the LX Factory at Rio Maravilha.

Burj Khalifa is the tallest building in the world

I ate dinner on the 122 floor, which boasts breathtaking views of Dubai. The restaurant is called AT.MOSPHERE.

Positano is the beating heart of Italy’s Amalfi Coast

Skip the beach and look for a boat at the end of the pier called “Arienzo Beach Club.” It will take you to a quaint cove around the corner with a family-owned restaurant situated at the water’s edge with lounge chairs perched above rocks.

Valle de Guadalupe is Baja Mexico’s burgeoning wine region

From street carts to four-course meals, tiny vineyards to state-of-the-art facilities, and horseback riding among the grapes, there’s something for everyone.

Drenched in history, yet bustling with new energy, Rome is the perfect dichotomy between old and new.

Capri, Italy Is As Cool As Azure Blue

Colorado Springs has so many hidden gems

From stunning hikes to mountaintop resorts, I was pleasantly surprised with the city.

Away from the glitz and glamour, Old Dubai offers the real treasures of the city

The souks (or markets) have a plethora of spices and herbs, clothing and more.

The Louvre in Paris, France is the world's largest art museum

Have a glass of wine and people watch at Le Café Marly.

San José del Cabo is the lesser known part of Cabo

Hot air balloons are a popular tourist attraction just outside of Scottsdale, Arizona

Take the sunrise ride and be welcomed with mimosas and breakfast as you land.

This female-owned vineyard, VIADER, is located on the western facing slopes of Howell Mountain

Born in Argentina, Delia Viader makes cult Napa Valley wines at this stunning vineyard dramatically set at 1,300 feet.

ONE good thing about more time at home right now is that we have time to do our research and plan some epic trips for the future. Comment below with where you’re looking forward to going!
