Almost all countries are finally open for tourism! I hope that in 2023 you can safely travel to some new places in our beautiful world. We'll begin with the Portuguese island of Madeira, located in Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Africa. Madeira is often called the Hawaii Europe, because the island was born of volcanic origins. If you love hiking or just relaxing on the beach, Madeira is the place for you. Punta du Sol is a great place for swimming. There is no sand, only smooth Boulders, but the ocean is amazing to swim in. A great place to go cliff jumping is Pico de Arriero, one of the tallest points on the island. The elevation is so high up until you will often be in or above the clouds. The hiking there is a sight to see. The trails are so well maintained, you get some of the most phenomenal views. Pico Dugato is nice if you're up for an adventure.

Now we will go to Western Norway. It is home to majority of Norway's fjords and the landscapes there are just on another level. One of Norway's most well-known fjords is Gear Ringer Fjord. You can get there by driving about five or six hours from Oslo. This Fjord is massive and one of its most well-known features is the Seven Sisters waterfall, which cascades 410 meters to the water. Another nice feature in the Fjord is Skagaflop. It is a historic mountain farm perch on a cliff. You can arrive there by taking a ferry, then hiking up. The views up there are just breathtaking and the grassroof cabins look like something out of a fairy tale! Another great place in Western Norway is Luvatne. It is located just a few hours away from Gear Ringer. This is Glacier Lake with the distinct turquoise water, which has such a stunning color and the scenery around the lake is unbelievable. There are mountains and waterfalls everywhere you look. Norway truly is a special country and I hope you can visit.

Now, we are going to head down to Africa to visit the country of Namibia, located on the Atlantic coast above South Africa. When people think of Namibia, the Namib Desert probably comes to mind. It's full of massive orange sand dunes and those orc Antelope. One of my favorite places in the Namib Desert is deadly with this claypan surrounded by Massive dunes, and what makes it so unique is that there's these trees that died 600 years ago because water stopped coming into the area and they are frozen in time. Another place in Namibia to visit is the Spitz cope. This Granite Mountain that reaches 1728 meters above sea level and has been called the Matterhorn of Namibia. If you want to see some African Wildlife, the atosha National Park is a wonderful place to see animals, such as lions, giraffes, and elephants. Namibia is such a spectacular country. I hope you can visit.

While we're still in Africa, we're gonna head to the islands of the Seychelles, located in the Indian Ocean off the coast of East Africa. The seashells are an archipelago made up of 115 islands and are home to some of the world's most famous beaches. When you find the seashells, you will probably come to the island of Mahi. It's the biggest island in the archipelago, and also home to Victoria which is the Island's capital now there's a lot to do and see on Mahi and it's also a great place to venture off to the other Islands one of the most famous places in all the Seychelles is the beach called ante Source de Arjun. It's located on the island which you can reach by taking a ferry from the neighboring Islands. It's often rated as one of the world's most beautiful beaches. It has massive granite boulders that create in other worldly landscape.

Now, let's head over to South America to visit Patagonia, located in both bottom halves of Chile and Argentina. Patagonia is easily one of the most beautiful regions in the world. It has fjords like Norway, sounds like New Zealand, and the mountains are comparable to the Alps. One of the most famous places in Patagonia is Torres Del Paine, located on the Chilean side. Torres Del Paine is a national park home to animals such as squinacos and pumas and it is named after its iconic three granite towers. Another one of the most well-known places in Patagonia is Fitzroy. It is a mountain range located on the Argentinian side. I think it is possibly one of the most beautiful mountains in the world. There are several glacier lakes and spectacular viewpoints.
