📌 SAVE these for the next time you’re solo trip planning!

These 7 road trips absolutely blew my mind the first time. The only problem? I can’t experience them for the first time EVER again! 🤯😲

📍 Cotswolds - Cottagecore perfection
📍 New Zealand - Epic scale, every turn
📍 Iceland - Fire, ice, and waterfalls
📍 Mallorca - Coastal cliff drama
📍 Germany - Fairytale castle tour
📍 Oregon - Foggy, rugged wildness
📍 Madeira - Island mountain drives

Don’t worry there’s definitely more than just these too…Which one is calling your name? 👀

This isn’t your average boat ride. We were zooming across Jökulsárlón, checking out the glacier that is literally 1,000 years old. If you’re going to Iceland, this is the one tour you absolutely cannot skip 🇮🇸🧊

Is it your sign to go, too? Would you book this tour? Let me know! ⤵️🛶

Tag someone you’d love to ride this epic cable car in Madeira with! 🚠

📍Teleférico das Achadas da Cruz, Madeira, Portugal

⚠️ You won’t believe the slope on Europe’s steepest cable car! It’s a 98% gradient plunge that takes you to a hidden coastal paradise. I am not afraid of heights and to be honest when we got stuck for a couple of minutes… I was a bit scared 🫢

Are you brave enough…? 👀
