Will Travel for Tennis 🎾
There are few things I enjoy more than discovering a place with a tennis racquet in hand. This time, it was Pattaya: Dusit Thani Pattaya once hosted the WTA tour attracting many of the world's top tennis players, so I had high expectations (which, if I were honest, were ok, a bit of a let down with existing conditions of the court surface). But look at the views! The court side views of Pattaya Bay is really stunning.
Overall, this place makes for a great tennis getaway. Play a few match doubles followed by relax time by the sea and good food. A winning travel and tennis combination

Quiet side of Pattaya
Pattaya as a place of calm and serenity? To my surprise, hidden along Pattaya's familiar coastline are places that don't ask for attention—quiet beaches, tucked-away corners and terraced gardens. Sometimes the best part of traveling is discovering space that allow you to pause, wander, and look. The quieter side of Pattaya is there for those willing to look a little closer

Dusit Thani Pattaya is known for its lively energy, being a big hotel in the centre of Pattaya. But there's another side waiting to be discovered. Wander a little further in the hotel, find a quiet corner beneath the trees, listen to the waves, and let time slow down

Sometimes the best part of a destination isn't its excitement—it's the peaceful moments hidden within it

Multicolored
Muralla Roja in Calpe is a residential apartment and a three-dimensional painting - with stacked courtyards, labyrinthine stairs and walls colored in pinks, reds and blues that constantly shift with the Mediterranean light. It feels part fortress, part maze, part surrealist landscape

Patterns & Shapes
With its polychromic tiles, floral tessellations & rhythmic surfaces, Casa Vicens in Barcelona is Antoni Gaudí’s manifesto of pattern, geometry & nature translated into architecture

Building Hats
The rooftops of Gaudí’s architecture don’t just cover the buildings - they wear it. Each one rises like a whimsical hat, sculpted in color and curves, turning the Barcelona skyline into a parade of imagination 🎩🏛️

Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias: City of Arts and Sciences is the iconic futuristic cultural and architectural complex in Valencia designed by Santiago Calatrava. Its sculptural and controversial design makes it one the most important modern travel destinations in Spain

• 5,6 - Eye-opening L'Hemisfèric
• 7, 8 - Who broke the tiles? Santiago Calatrava used the traditional technique called trencadís, a method made famous by Gaudí so flat tiles could curve smoothly over organic forms
• 9 - Futuristic architecture makes for festive backdrop for fireworks

Lowkey Valencia
In contrast to Barcelona’s colorful (and often over-crowded) streets, Valencia feels like a quiet revelation. Warm ochre buildings glow in soft Mediterranean light, with green parks and orange trees everywhere you walk. Days move unhurriedly here — life seems to happen in a more human pace. A city that balances culture, nature, and daily living without the noise. No wonder Valencia is often named one of the world’s most liveable cities 🌿

📸📍Valencia perfect visit locations:
• 1,2,3 — Campanario de Santa Catalina: There are many church towers that you can walk up in Valencia but I think Santa Catalina has some of the best views in town
• 4,5,6 — Ciutat Vella: Valencia’s Old City is a place where history lives quietly in everyday moments. Roman walls, Moorish streets, and Gothic towers sit side by side, not as monuments frozen in time, but as part of daily life
• 7, 8, 9 — El Pla del Real: one of Valencia’s liveable neighborhoods just east of the old city, it sits next to the Turia Gardens giving it a balance of nature and city life, with mid-20th-century buildings and authentic local atmosphere
• 10 — Horchatería de Santa Catalina: must visit for Horchata and Churros!
• 11 — Baroque Valencia: Museo Nacional de Cerámica y de las Artes Suntuarias "González Martí" for its fantastic facade
