@BorrisS : This week, I came across @user_not_found 's post “De compras por el Gran Bazar de Estambul…” and I loved it. It takes us on a tour inside the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul. Through the photos, we discover the architectural beauty of the walls and ceiling of one of the most famous covered markets in the world. From souvenirs to clothes, carpets, spices, and more, the bazaar has something for everyone, even for those who just want to immerse themselves in colors! So, if you’re like me and you like to shop, this post is definitely for you.
@KlaudiyaG :Curaçao, a beautiful Caribbean island, is the place I want to talk about today. In his post, “touring | curaçao - add a little caribbean colour to your life,” Local Guide @travelwithcarlo shares some incredible details about this little paradise, which is located off the coast ofVenezuela. You will learn about some of the best spots there, the delicacies that this isle has to offer, and the experiences visitors can enjoy. His post also includes some gorgeous photographs of the island and its turquoise waters, which will make you daydream.
@AngieYC : The post “A Forest in the City Center” by @Emmik20 made me curious because I never thought a forest could exist in the middle of a city. The more I read, the more intrigued I became. @Emmik20 talks in detail about Akbuzat Park in Ufa, Russia, an actual forest where no human-made structures can be found. My favorite part is where he shares the health benefits of walking in a quiet, natural place. It is a good reminder of how we can keep our mind and body healthy with a simple stroll.
@TsekoV : While reading different posts on Connect, one of them caught my eye in an instant. It was @Ant_Bad_Yogi 's“Hike to Partnach Gorge - Germany.” In it, we go on a hike through the scenic landscapes of the Partnach Gorge in Germany, while all the while enjoying the warm colors of the fall and the sound of the river. If you are into nature and want to spend some time there, even virtually, take a look at this post. For more peaceful content, follow this month’s #monthlytopicchallenge by @HiroyukiTakisawa .
