A spontaneous detour near Seoul Station led me to Seoullo 7017, Seoul’s elevated sky garden filled with greenery, night views, and over 24,000 plants. What was once an old highway overpass is now a peaceful one-kilometre walkway hovering above the city.

Brighton Beach is home to Melbourne’s iconic, brightly coloured bathing boxes—heritage-listed beachfront huts that create one of the city’s most recognizable coastal views. On a windy day trip from the CBD, we explored the vibrant shoreline, walked the coastal trail to St Kilda, and enjoyed a mix of nature and urban charm.
