MUSTS and NO’s when I visit Cartagena again…

🗓️ I would 100% visit during December - March, the dry season. The most important reason: the 🔥 heat in Cartagena rivals 🇺🇸southwestern summers. Even in February it’s HOT! You’ll want to walk around & be comfortable.

💃🏻 I would 100% take a salsa class, which I couldn’t get to last time. There is an epic one on a private rooftop in Getsemani!

🥘 I would take another cooking or beverage class at @skykitchen.cartagena because it’s that amazing.

🛥️ Definitely return to the Rosario Islands for another retreat to paradise

🧭 I’d make sure to take a day trip to Palenque - @sowonthego has an awesome post about this day trip!

🍽️ @misturarestaurantebar - I’d go back just to dine here again

🛏️ I’d stay in the walled city again because you can freely walk around at night with no problems & there’s lots of nightlife.

💚 if you want emeralds, definitely go to @casalaesmeraldajoyas - mother & son operation, very kind, helpful & top quality.

🚫I’d skip La Cevicheria, because, sadly, by all measurable objective facts it’s overrated. I’m certain that it was wonderful when Anthony Bourdain visited 15 years ago… but these days I’d constitute it as a bonafide tourist trap and I NEVER use that term lightly.

🚫 No visiting in the summer

⚠️ Cartagena is very safe if you are engaging in ‘regular’ run of the mill traveling activities… if you engage in, shall we say, risqué extracurricular pursuits - you could be opening up the doorway to negative outcomes.

Cartagena is hot & ‘touristy’ - but the food is incredible, the culture is vibrant, the energy vibrates high & the people are just lovely.

Have you been to Cartagena? What was your experience?

CHÂTEAU DE GRUYÈRES 🏰

Even though this castle has no drawbridge… can you still get into it? (ba-dum-ching!) 😒☺️

For me, if there is a castle involved, count me in. I first stayed overnight in a castle in 2021 and if you recall, I said I wanted to ‘castle surf’ my way around the world. While that idea hasn’t quite left the laboratory… I still love seeing them all the same.

This 13th century castle, turned museum in Gruyère is no exception. I mean I love castles. I love museums. This should be good, right?!

It didn’t disappoint. Between the architecture, historical context and cultural information, this medieval castle sits atop a hilltop and provides stunning views to boot. Also, the staff is super warm and helpful.

Have you ever seen a castle in person? Which one? Is seeing or staying in one on your bucketlist?

PS - you can’t stay at Chateau de Gruyère but you can explore to your heart’s content!

AN IMPROMPTU CHAT ⤵

A vivid past memory I have, is chatting with a coworker who moved to Los Angeles from a small town in the US for work opportunities.

In conversation one day, she reveals to me that she had never seen a (specific ethnic group) person until she had moved to Los Angeles. For the record, she was saying positive things - but I was FLOORED all the very same.

From a young age, I had exposure (and friendships) with people of all origins, ethnicities, religions and appearances. That was my normal, in part, from being from such an incredibly diverse place.

The more we open ourselves up to the experiences of others, the more we see realities STARKLY differ.

Although the internet’s obsession with “relatability” is understandable and genuinely needed in many instances, for a lot of people it’s nothing more complex than desiring to see a reflection of themself.

What we really NEED is more awareness, empathy and understanding.

Relatability seeks comfort, but seeking out life experiences truly different than our own is truly how we grow, connect … and hopefully make the world a better place together.

Travel is a great way to do this, but one of the more positive aspects of the internet and social media is how much I learn on a daily basis about the lived experiences, struggles, joys, ways of life, philosophies and realities of others all over the world.

Thank you for sharing this & I hope you never stop. If you’ve read this far, thanks for being here - we’ll be back to our regularly scheduled programming tomorrow 💫

What do you think about this? Do you also find these things important? ✨

SWITZERLAND TIP ⤵🇨🇭

Go to Gruyères someday or time.

I absolutely LOVE this idyllic village, not just because I’m a big fan of the cheese itself, but, it also gives you the storybook moment you’ve either always wanted or didn’t know you needed ✨

You may be starry eyed as you gaze upon the seemingly infinite green pastures, fanciful meals & views, colorful flowers and historic architecture.

Standing in the center of town, hearing the never ending trickle of the fountain, you may concede, ‘if fairytale settings existed…this might just be one?’

Compete with a 13th century castle as a backdrop - no purchase necessary🏰 (unless, of course, you want to go inside)

Have you ever been to Gruyères? Have you tried the cheese? 🧀

Well, either way, buckle up Buttercup, because I spent a few dreamy days here & we are about to dive into it together! 💫

SHOULD YOU VISIT CHUR? 🕰️

After spending three days there exploring at a very leisurely pace, I don’t feel like I left too much on the table. Old town Chur is on the smaller side. However, there’ll always be more to do because there’s lots of little shops, cafes, neighborhoods to peruse and hikes.

Does Chur deserve a spot on your itinerary? Here are some things to consider:

It’s a ‘Let’s Go’ if:

📖 you love historical towns
⛪️ you appreciate admiring architecture
🫕 you’re a foodie
🧭 you love exploring on foot
⌛️ slow paced atmosphere is preferred
☕️ you enjoy cafe culture & a view
🐾 you love VERY dog friendly places

It may be a ‘Pass’ if:

💨 you like fast paced atmospheres
🥱 you get bored veryyy easily
🏛️ places with well known landmarks or attractions are preferred
🚭 you can’t be around potential smoking
🐾 you’re not okay with dogs being anywhere humans can go
🥳 you want a very ‘happening’ vibe
🚷 you are unable or don’t want to walk everywhere you need to go

💡You absolutely CAN visit Chur in one day and see the highlights well! You can also do a day trip to Liechtenstein from there.

So, what say you? Any questions about Chur? 🇨🇭

WELCOME TO CHUR - the oldest town in Switzerland ✨

Have you ever heard of Chur? (pronounced: “Core” and don’t worry, I was saying “ch-uhr” at first too)

I had never heard of it myself, but after doing a little digging, it seemed like a good place to get off the Glacier Express.

It’s a historic town with medieval architecture and nuances at every turn. The hotel I stayed in was originally built in 1638, with the oldest part of it dating back to 1438.

Listen, I have never ever photoshopped people out of my photos, but I WILL patiently wait as long as I need to in order to get a pic without others in it (if it’s even possible). But, here that’s simply not necessary. The entire town felt like a deserted movie set - and I mean that in a good way.

Chur also has the most bars per square foot in all of Switzerland. While that isn’t a particular draw for me, it certainly will be for someone 🥂

Have you ever been to or heard of Chur? This town surprised me in a few ways!

ALL ABOARD THE GLACIER EXPRESS! ✨

One of the highlights of visiting Switzerland is the train experiences! 🚊

There are a few notable, BUCKET LIST worthy trains that should be on your radar for Switzerland and the world renowned Glacier Express is one of them!

This luxury train has become known as “the slowest express train in the world.” It provides an elevated train travel experience with panoramic glass windows, a full array of drink options and 3-4 course meals (a la carte available).

Does the Glacier Express deserve a spot on your itinerary? Here are some things to consider:

It’s a ‘Let’s Go’ if:

🚊 you LOVE trains
🏞️ you REALLY appreciate scenic views
✨ you value unique experiences
⏳ the destinations you visit are flexible
🥂 you enjoy luxe & comfort

It may be a ‘Pass’ if:

💨 you like faster paced activities
⏳ very limited time on your trip
📍you can’t/don’t want to visit any of the places on the Glacier Express’s limited route
🥂you’re put off by luxury activities
💺you’re not okay with potentially sitting with other travelers at your table (BUT you can reserve seats by themselves in groups of 2 or 4 in advance IF they’re available).

💸 If you buy tickets for the Glacier Express specifically, it can run you anywhere from CHF 65pp (2nd class, shortest route, no food or drink) all the way to CHF 700+ pp (excellence class) and up depending on your route, class of ticket & food and beverage selections. I went in the First Class car for CHF 0 / $0 USD + the cost of my meal and beverages.
