Not a guide — a couple's real reflections from the road: the best part is the people you meet. Tue, 14 Jul 2026 02:32:00 +0000 https://chowying.com/travel/en/europe-lake-swimming/ https://chowying.com/travel/en/europe-lake-swimming/ When a European heatwave hits, locals don't hide in air conditioning — they jump into a lake. We tried three of the best lake swims: Königssee in Germany, Interlaken in Switzerland and Strandbad Wesenauer in Austria. Pack a swimsuit, a big towel and water shoes, and you're set. Wed, 08 Jul 2026 13:05:45 +0000 https://chowying.com/travel/en/tmb-hike-guide/ https://chowying.com/travel/en/tmb-hike-guide/ We hiked the Tour du Mont Blanc anti-clockwise — 2 days, 1 night, from Courmayeur (Italy) to La Fouly (Switzerland): about 35 km with 2,055 m of climbing.

We tried to eat free tapas until we were full... and failed the challenge 😅 P.S. Must-order: Tinto de Verano — red wine and lemon soda over ice, the literal taste of Spanish summer 🍹 Tue, 23 Jun 2026 12:36:41 +0000 https://chowying.com/travel/en/porto-camino-rest-days/ https://chowying.com/travel/en/porto-camino-rest-days/ Camino Portugués Days 16–18 were supposed to be rest days — but after walking 300+ km into Porto, the couple's plan to chill turned into cycling AND surfing! Recharging their own way, then back on the trail.

Add a 7-8 kg backpack and zero shopping urge — money saved! 👍 Sat, 30 May 2026 01:30:54 +0000 https://chowying.com/travel/en/unique-pilgrim-stamp-alvaiazere/ https://chowying.com/travel/en/unique-pilgrim-stamp-alvaiazere/ Pilgrims on the Camino Portugués, don't miss this one! On Day 9 we walked 186.9 km from Lisbon to Alvaiázere, where Albergaria Pinheiros stamps your credential with a one-of-a-kind seal — handmade hot-wax embossing. If you're passing through, you have to stop in!
