It’s the weekend! Fire up the kettle or pour yourself a cold one while reading some of my favorite posts from around the blogosphere. Warning: Most of these posts may cause severe wanderlust.

I don’t often recommend entire websites, but I just discovered this site and love every post. The Jungalow is a decorating website/blog filled with colorful, bohemian style home inspiration. I’m almost done renovating my house and need to start thinking of decorating ideas, so I’m looking for ideas on Jungaloo. I love the idea of painting the entire house white and adding bright, bold accessories.
In big pictures: Beautiful spots in Queensland, Australia {Global Grasshopper}
We all know Australia is amazing, but check out Becky from Global Grasshopper’s beautiful photos of Queensland. If there’s one thing I remember about Australia, it’s the blue skies, endless beaches, and amazing sunrises and sunsets. Becky captured them perfectly.

Road trip through the Scottish Highlands {Wandering Blogger}
It’s easy to forget how beautiful Britain is, so this post from The Wander Blogger is the perfect reminder. My favorite thing about these photos is that even though Scotland looks dark and gray, there is a kind of mystery to it. During the winter months I often don’t want to travel anywhere in the UK because of the weather, but thanks to Sarah it looks so beautiful.
Sleeping under the stars on the Great Barrier Reef {young adventurer}
This is another shocking player from Australia. Liz compares this amazing experience to glamping by the sea, and I couldn’t be more jealous.
Croatia: Krka National Park {We took the path less traveled}
If you’re a Pinterest user, you’ve probably already come across Croatia’s Krka National Park, because Pinterest is full of images of this amazing place. I’ve only been to Croatia briefly on a cruise, but sights like this make me want to explore it properly.
This is yet another reason to fall in love with Bergen, Norway {baggage only}
I’m going to blame Pinterest (again!) for my recent obsession with Norway. I didn’t know much about Norway until recently, but suddenly it felt like my social media feed was filled with breathtaking photos of this amazing country. Check out this post and you’ll see what I mean.
A trip to the slums of Mumbai {Love Puffin}
I’m not sure what you think about “slum tourism.” I don’t know enough about it to comment, but I find this post by Hayley very interesting.
One for the foodies
Salted Chocolate Chunk Cookies {Smitten Kitchen}
Prepare to drool. These dishes look amazing with a gooey center and chunks of melted chocolate. Hmm. I haven’t tried the recipe yet because I know I’ll be sniffing the whole batch the second it comes out of the oven.
