Marbella is a beautiful coastal city, it’s seaside stretches for miles on end!

Kyoto is one of Japan’s most culturally rich cities. Most Famous for Fushimi Inari, the Ten Thousand vermillion hued Torii (gates) which is a shrine dedicated to Inari, an ancient wise man who is claimed the ‘Patron of Business’. Locals and tourists swarm these gates daily in duty & honour. (also for the great photos!)
Another of Kyoto’s iconic and serene spots is Kinkaku-ji, which is a tranquil golden temple which sits in the heart of a beautiful zen garden.
Tip: To get the best pictures try to reach Fushimi Inari by Sunrise which will give you enough time to climb up and capture the best angles without disturbance.

Koh Samui was once a Thai fishing community, and that charm still exists today. Samui isn’t as flashy as some of Thailands better known hot spots. But there is an undoubtable charm. Spending time in Bophut is a wonderful way to soak up local culture; the beachy village restaurants are perfect spots to experience the sunset.
Tip: Don’t bring you car keys, this is an Island.
