Buildings in Tirana, Albania

Tirana: truly a diamond in the rough. This diverse, artistic, & multiethnic city underwent a massive transformation when current Albanian prime minister Edi Rama, formerly a painter of international acclaim, decided to revitalize the capital by painting over dilapidated communist-era buildings. With or without it, the neighbourhoods breathe charisma. Tirana is everything funky + subversive — a living personality felt on the streets and beneath, from art installations in bunkers to places like Radio Bar, a secluded speakeasy and garden decorated with old radio paraphernalia. (Bonus: Internet cafes staffed with bouncers.) The city is imbued with this infectious laidback quality — a feeling of permanent Sundays spent navigating the mirage of origami textures & colours. I’m a kid in a candy store, and everything looks the part. . . . #peachpunktravels #tirana #vscox #exploretocreate #archdaily #lekkerzine #theprettycities #finditliveit #thespacesilike #visualsoflife #womenwhotravel

Belmond Reid’s Palace, Madeira, Portugal

Arriving at @belmondreidspalace we were confronted to a difficult choice : a traditional pool, tidal pool or a dip in the Atlantic Ocean ?? By the way, don’t forget that in my Stories you can see more of this breathtaking place! I must admit, that even if I prefer active exploring of the new place during my holidays, sometimes I need to recharge my batteries by the seaside or by the pool too? When you take a dip and then spend the rest of the afternoon by the swimming pool reading a book and just taking in views ✨And what kind of traveler are you? A curious explorer or the one who prefers dolce farniente?? #TheArtofBelmond . . . . #madeira #funchal #visitmadeira #portugal #postcardplaces #visit_portugal #theartofslowliving #dametraveler #traveldeeper #darlingescapes #apartmenttherapy #theprettycities #mytinyatlas #theeverygirl #pursuepretty #suitcasetravels #summervibes #bbctravel #goopgo #cntraveler #mydomaine #designinspiration #inmydomaine #wheretofindme #iamatraveler #tlpicks #thespacesilike #beautifulhotels
