Our winners today 🍍

🥇 Pandemic Travel: Driving the Entire Coast of Puerto Rico by @seangold

Up before the sun, bags packed from the night before, we quietly leave our AirBnB after one last look to make sure we had everything. Load the maps up, double-check the route and make sure our time schedule is accurate. And just like that, we're on the road again. We drive for about an hour, as I'm searching for more unique places we could stop along the way, and I see a lighthouse on the map. It looks quite pretty from the Google photos, I think it's worth checking out, so we set a detour and head to the lighthouse. After driving down some more of Puerto Ricos famous tiny ass streets, and dodging a few more dogs that think the road is a fantastic place to sit, we arrive. Wow.

🥈 Iglu Dorf Music - snow sculpture by @ammonite

I was back for my second year to help decorate an igloo hotel in Davos with my good friend Martijn Smits from the Netherlands. The previous year when he asked me to join I had found it so hard, working at such a high altitude in very extreme conditions was frustrating fun and to top it all off I had severe Sciatica pains. This year I was physically well but mentally tired. Saying that, I was excited to be back there to create with snow and see what we could do in the 12 days I had left in me.

🥉 Madrid makes its way by walking: Buitrago del Lozoya by @juancar347

Today I want to invite you to get to know something more about Madrid, although moving away about 80 kilometers, approximately, from that Puerta del Sol and that emblematic Barrio de los Austrias where world travelers meet, at least once in their life.
