#1 Exploring Valle de la Luna on a Mountain Bike

@adonisabril takes us to Valle de la Luna in Chile. This desert is the driest and one of the most hostile places on earth, but it is stunning to behold. Whilst the plan was to play it safe and take a tour, after meeting someone who had the plan on mountain biking through the adventure was to hard to resist. From salt caves to wind sculpted sandstones and a volcano in the distance, the entire landscape feels extraterrestrial. After circumventing a locked gate trying to keep up with his travel partner, he feels insecure, there is just a vast expanse of sand and dirt. Not able to keep up, suddenly @adonisabril finds himself alone and out of water in the desert. Luckily, after another hour he finds signs of civilization and his travel partner waiting for him to arrive!

#2 Oh my god, you should definitely visit

@wanderingdanish is taking us to Nordkapp, Norway. The most northern point of Europe. The cape is located on a small island reachable through a tunnel. The closest train station is 1000km away, flying there is expensive and so is taking the ferry. This leaves us with the good old roadtrip. Rent a car, and start driving! On the road you can see herds of reindeer and perhaps a moose or two. Eventually you'll make it to the arctic circle, where you can find a huge amount of cairns. After making it to the Lofoten area, the only option to go on is by ferry. The mountains making it near impossible to build a road. Eventually the ferry will arrive in Nordkapp, our destination. During summer months the sun doesn't really set, which makes it hard to estimate the time, even so, it's cold - like really cold. But arriving at Nordkapp and staring out over the blue ocean, makes it well worth the trip.

#3 The Insider's Guide to Diving in Cozumel

@liquidtravel takes us diving near Cozumel, Mexico. After finding a good diving operator, they set out for a total of 15 dives over 8 days. Diving through amazing coral formations busting with marine life, including hawksbill turtles, eagle rays, sharks and seahorses. There are two dives that stood out for @liquidtravel. A shipwreck - an old minesweeper -, and a dive down the Devil's Throat, the deepest dive going through several caves.
