Was meant to go this September, then college exams happened. The one that got away — I'll get there eventually.

Castle over the Danube, and close enough to Graz that it'd be a shame to do one without the other.

Yurts, horses, and mountains that go on forever. Eagle hunters are still a thing there.

Sleeping in a ger, horses everywhere, and a country with more sky than anything else. Eagle hunters in the west if the timing works.

Mountains right at the edge of the city, lakes further in, and old Silk Road stops out west.

Old town balconies, the Caucasus behind everything, and a table that never seems to end.

Cherry blossom season if I can time it, Fuji from the coast, and the neon streets at night.

Switzerland, Geneva, Zermatt & the lakes
Haven't been yet · stand-in photo
Lake Geneva, the Matterhorn, and slow trains between the two — the opposite kind of mountains to the ones I've walked.
