#1 The Wave in Arizona- one of the World's Wonders where Only Lottery Winners can go

For our first featured post of today @best-trip-eva takes us to The Wave in Arizona, USA. This stunning natural phenomenon can only be visited if you win a lottery, in high season, chances are just 2% in low season, chances are a bit higher at 25%, but you risk worse weather conditions. She eventually gets the very last ticket and on the day she wants to go! The stars align! The Wave is the most popular formation you can find in the national park, and looks completely surreal, with unusual colors all over. But it's not only The Wave that is stunning but the whole area surrounding it as well. Causing @best-trip-eva to name it as the best place she has ever seen!

#2 A Day on a Snow Mountain and a Night in an Onsen Ryokan (Traditional Japanese Inn)

For our second featured post @wanderlass takes us to Okuhida in Japan. The place is popular for its hot springs and is surrounded by the Japan Northern Alps. In there lies Mt. Hotakadake where @wanderlass is about to experience her first time seeing snow in real life! Taking the cable car up, quickly reveals stunning views. Finally arriving in the snow, @wanderlass excitement can't be stopped anymore. After the visit to Mt. Hotakadake it's time to repose in a ryokan - a traditional Japanese guesthouse. Here @wanderlass is able to enjoy a Kaiseki - a multi course Japanese meal - which holds a variety of a lot of small servings. Being in the hot springs area, the guesthouse have one for you to jump into as well! Tradition is that you get into it completely naked though. While female and male Onsen pools are separated, this might still feel a bit uncomfortable. All in all it seems like an amazing experience!

#3 Huge Waves clashing against the Icebergs pool

For our last featured post @ivansnz takes us to Bondi Beach near Sydney, Australia. The place is most famous for its pool next to the ocean, where the waves clash over the side of the pool during high tide. From here the Bondi to Coogee Walk starts, and it's guaranteed to be worth your hiking efforts. A good beach day, can't be complete without some surfing. Whilst the spot might be a bit hard if you're starting out as a surfer. It can definitely still be a fun place, even if it's only to practice your skills a bit.
