It’s the middle of the week, the proverbial “hump” day, and we need a little juice to keep going. It’s always good to have goals, something you are working towards, something you look forward too. For me travel is that thing. Even if it is out of my reach (financially or otherwise) at the moment, there’s nothing like a little travel porn to keep me motivated and dreaming the dream. Today I bring you Hotel 7132 in Switzerland’s small mountain village of Vals. In homage to the simple beauty of this small town, population 1000, the hotel is named for its postal code.

I’m craving a real deal exotic adventure. I want to bask in the sun, float in crystal waters, and stuff my face with tropical fruits. Alas, that kind of gorgeous travel is not in my budget right now. So I will just dream about it and plan for a future trip down the line. I also want to really highlight eco-resorts and hotels that are acting sustainably and working to protect the environment. I thought I would share what I found here because let’s be honest, who doesn’t love a little travel porn? So with that, here is my very first Wanderlust Wednesday post featuring the spectacular Misool Eco Resort in Raja Ampat, Indonesia. This resort was conceived and created by divers who had a love of the region and wanted to protect the highly poached waters by creating a “No-take” zone. The resort sits on […]
