A rustic stone barn sits in a lush green meadow dotted with yellow wildflowers, overlooking a serene lake surrounded by rolling hills and mountains in the Lake District, UK. The scene is framed by trees and hedgerows, with soft light casting a tranquil atmosphere over the landscape.

The Lake District just has those views that make you stop and stay a while โ›ฐ๏ธ

Golden-hued limestone rock formations rising from the calm, reflective waters of the Algarve coastline in Lagos, Portugal, with the soft glow of the setting sun casting warm light over the cliffs and sea.

Now that Iโ€™m settled in the UK, Iโ€™m looking forward to being a little closer to some of my favorite spots in the EU.

Lagos, Portugal is definitely up there - great weather, fresh seafood, and that easygoing rhythm that makes it hard to leave. Can't wait to be back.

If you're ever in Gifu, this is a great place to take in some Japanese history, away from the busy tourist spots.

Rolling hills in Englandโ€™s Lake District, partially obscured by low-hanging clouds, creating a serene and atmospheric landscape.

I was looking into that last night and couldnโ€™t figure it out. Maybe they havenโ€™t added that feature yet! Itโ€™s still somewhat early days.

Oh nice! Lisbon is a wonderful city. I highly recommend checking out the Algarve when youโ€™re back next - itโ€™s a very underrated part of not just Portugal but the EU in general.

Me as well! I lived there for a couple years and try to go back every couple years.

Itโ€™s not my favourite country to live in but itโ€™s definitely one of my favourite countries to explore.

Thanks! I really like using foliage to frame a subject like that. The bokeh kind of reduces the chaos of stuff like branches and ads a nice effect that draws the eye.

Having a nice zoom lens helps too!

A photo taken in Kenrokuen Garden, Kanazawa, framed by soft pink cherry blossoms in full bloom. Two people in traditional Japanese attire, holding a red and a purple umbrella, stand on a pathway surrounded by meticulously pruned greenery and a stone lantern, capturing a serene and timeless moment.

A veil of cherry blossoms frames two lovers posing beneath their pink petals.

It's a quiet moment in Kanazawa, where tradition and the changing seasons brush against each other like old friends. A scene so perfect it feels unreal, yet here it is, just life in Japan.

Are you looking for long-form videos or just travel videos/clips generally?

I have a lot of videos on other platforms (mostly Instagram) but nothing long-form.

If that excludes me from eligibility for this list then no worries, totally understandable!
