Our winners today

🥇 Let's travel together #331 - Mănăstirea Cetăţuia - Negru Vodă (Negru Vodă Monastery) by @gabrielatravels

There are few things in life that impress me the way some of the destinations I end up visiting, manage to do. And while I've grown up with a special connection when it comes to the religious part that more or less is missing from people's lives, I can easily say that I've seen around one hundred churches until the age of 27.

I am used to saying that no matter how many waterfalls you see which in fact they all represent a volume of water falling down the rocks, they are all unique in their own way when it comes to the legends or how they were formed.

I gave the example of the waterfalls because a similar situation is with the churches and monasteries I've seen. They do have a connection with God in common no matter if my God is the same as yours, but the energy is pretty much different from one place to another. Or at least that's one of the first things I feel different whenever I end up exploring a new religious place out there whether it's in Romania or abroad.

🥈 Our Trip to Koh Larn Island by @blaze8

Hello everyone. Our visit to Koh Larn Island began at Bali Hai Pier. We were running a bit late and rushing to catch the ferry, which costs 30 baht per person. If we missed it, we would have taken a speedboat, which costs 150 baht per person. Ferries leave every hour, but sometimes they depart 10 minutes early, so you need to be careful. Most tourists head out after breakfast, so arriving around 8-9 am is a good idea. After 6 pm, only speedboats operate as the ferries stop running.

🥉 A trip to Casas del Castañar, legacy and tradition [Eng][Esp] by @oscarps

In the north of the autonomous community of Extremadura lies one of the most popular and well-known valleys in this region of Spain, the Jerte Valley. It takes its name from the river that over the centuries has been changing and carving out the spaces between the mountains of this Extremadura region. My travels through this region have led me to discover many of these charming little towns full of tradition and the legacy of human adaptation to these places on the globe. That day I left the city of Cáceres, capital of the province of the same name, to head along the national highway N-110 and get to know all these corners of the north of the province, in this case it was the town of Casas del Castañar.
