How many did you tick off?
Curious to see how everyone’s done, tell us in the comments! 🧡
We usually see each other from the shoulders up, on a screen. 😄
So getting together in real life is always pretty special. All the hugs, laughs, just spending time together...
This time we met in Belgrade and it was a perfect mix of exploring the city, getting out into nature and learning from the locals (just like we do on our trips).
And if you're wondering who all these people are - this is just one half of the team (our European crew).
The people behind the scenes, each and every one of them helping bring you the best experiences. 🧡
It’s often called a “City in a Garden”. 🌳
You can walk through places like Gardens by the Bay, where giant tree-like structures light up at night, or walk the rainforest paths in the Botanic Gardens.
There are rooftop gardens, tree-lined streets and parks all across the city.
And if you’ve ever been through the airport, you already know how special Singapore does this stuff. 😍
This one’s a regular favourite with our MagRailers 🇻🇳☕
If you love coffee, you have to try it! You can even try making it at home, there are plenty of easy recipes out there.
Then you can compare it to the real deal once you’re in Vietnam 😉
Do you also start smiling the moment you see an elephant? 🐘
Thanks to our MagRailers, we’ve got a whole collection of wild elephant photos from Sri Lanka.
So whenever we need a little pick-me-up, we just scroll through these. 😍
Hope they brighten your day a little too!
This is Ouchi-juku, straight out of the Edo period!
The village is filled with buildings that are over 300 years old, with traditional thatched roofs and little streams running along the streets. Just beautiful 😍
Apparently, it’s also known for its handmade noodles, but instead of chopsticks, you’re given a leek to eat them with🍜
If you’ve tried them, we need the full review, what was it like?😄
