Medellín is one of the most innovative and beautiful cities I've ever visited, from the spectacular street art to the thoughtful green spaces. If you've never been, I'd highly recommend it. #colombia #sustainable #medellin

I completely agree, and I like your phrasing. “Warm, exuberant energy” very much sums up what Bad Bunny had to offer. That show was pure love and joy.
Here's a lovely little story to kick off your week.

A decade ago, Northern Thailand. It seems like yesterday. #thailand #travelpics
Cool hacks in here, plus one from me: if you go to your calculator and press the small calculator icon (mine is at the top), you can convert currencies and measurements. This hack is a lifesaver when you're in a new country without WiFi and need to take out cash.

Yikes. These stories are becoming all too common, and if you use AI for your pitching or, God forbid, researching and writing, you'll likely be caught and lose all credibility as a journalist.

Kendrick Lamar's halftime show in '25 was a seriously hard act to follow, but Bad Bunny rose to the challenge. If you haven't seen the Super Bowl '26 halftime show, do yourself a favor and watch it. It's pure joy and love. #superbowl #badbunny

This article is all about the nostalgia for me, and I'm so digging the bizarre descriptions of wine, especially “Ally McBeal getting a bikini wax.” 90s zines are next level. #90s #wine #zine

Week in wildlife: a rescued owl, a brave blackbird and Fukushima boar babies
The most intriguing part of this article is the idea of “mega fossils” and the thought of our future selves stumbling across a buried and fossilized Amsterdam a century from now.

Great pictures! I've been to Arequipa—it's a fantastic place.
Peru is on my radar these days, and memories like these make me want to go back even more. This is me on Amantaní Island, in the middle of Lake Titicaca, on the Peruvian side. #peru #laketiticaca #hiking

Machu Picchu, Peru, circa 2018-2019. Cusco — Hidroeléctrica — Aguas Calientes — Machu Picchu. It was Thanksgiving. I drank a cherry juice box while looking out over the ruins. It's one of the most memorable hikes I've ever done. #machupicchu #peru #hiking
Interesting piece on the liminal space that is every airport.

The winding streets of Safranbolu, Turkey, at dusk. We stopped in this Black Sea town on our road trip from Istanbul to Tbilisi, enjoyed a nice meal, picked up some saffron, and had a chilly but lovely wander through these narrow streets. #turkey #safanbolu #blacksearoadtrip
Thank you! I'll check it out later.
This is a fabulous roundup of experiences and destinations. A big congratulations to all of my Lonely Planet colleagues who made it happen! #lonelyplanet #bestoftravel

Hercules Caves near Tangier, Morocco. The legend goes that there's a secret tunnel between Morocco and Spain somewhere in the cave complex. There's also a fantastic hike between Cape Spartel and the caves, with spots to stop for an iced coffee overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. #morocco #hercules
