🥇 Exploring Istanbul 🇹🇷 by @worldcapture

Usually the first thing I do when I arrive to a new Country/City is to just walk around without a big plan to get some first impressions of the people, the buildings, the different food smells and just everything happening around me. That's the perfect way to get to know a new place, especially when everything is foreign on the beginning. Walking around Halic was a pretty good first impression as this part of the city is less touristic than others and it has a really nice charm with its old buildings. There are small shops all along the road with great little restaurants and small supermarkets where you can buy some snacks to keep your energy high.

🥈 🗺 Grutas de Tolantongo – A Day Trip to one of Mexico’s most fascinating Miracles of Nature [EN/DE] by @travelshots

Once we arrived downstairs, we were overwhelmed by the rush of visitors. Already in the morning hours hundreds of visitors bathed in the milky turquoise water. The river is dammed up here in a cascade-like manner, which softens the current and makes bathing much easier. Nevertheless, you should definitely bring bathing shoes, because the bottom of the river is very rocky and uneven. We were particularly surprised by the water temperature. So far, bathing in rivers always cost me quite a bit of overcoming because of the cold water. The Tolantongo River however feels like a huge bathtub. I estimated the water temperature to at least 25°C on the day of our visit. But of course we did not only want to swim, but also to visit the waterfalls and caves. So we went over many steps uphill again.

🥉 A day in Den Bosch by @plantfuljourney

Den Bosch or 's Hertogenbosch is my favourite city in The Netherlands. It is the capital city of the province North Brabant, and it's one of the largest cities there. It's the first Dutch city that I have ever visited, and therefore I might be a little bit biased, but for me it's much nicer than for example Amsterdam. It is full of cute houses, countless restaurants and bars, shops and boutiques and there are also many opportunities for cultural as well as sport activities. It is only about 10 minutes drive from my in-laws, so we come here every time we are visiting them in The Netherlands. I visited Den Bosch almost 13 years ago for the very first time, and since then plenty of times, so I can see how the city changed over the last decade.
