Park Guell 👉 Walking through park, I felt like I was in a dream rather than a city. The terraced platform with its mosaic serpent offers a panoramic view of Barcelona 👉 hikevent.com/gaudis-barce... #photography #spain #travel #tourism #bluesky #traveltips #gaudi #barcelona

A5: It would be Andrea del Verrocchio. I’d love to spend time in his workshop as he taught da Vinci, Botticelli, and others. Anyone who can inspire the greats is someone I’d love to meet. #TravelAddictsHistory #TravelAddicts

A4: I like visiting places where you learn about science as a part of the historical experience. We visited Greenwich, England a few years back and learning about and seeing the devices used to standardize time was amazing. #TravelAddictsHistory #TravelAddicts

A3: I love Florence. It’s the perfect blend of art, culture, and history, without being overwhelming. Plenty to see and do, perfect for a long weekend. #TravelAddictsHistory #TravelAddicts

A2: This is going to be a popular answer but da Vinci is so interesting. His work as an artist is inspiring enough but then you consider his contributions to engineering, cartography, science, etc, it puts him on another level. #TravelAddictsHistory #TravelAddicts

A1 I’m Chris, founder of DuckAbroad. What interests me most about the Renaissance was growth & development of thoughts and ideas after centuries of stagnation. Arts & sciences flourished…it was a time period I find inspiring, one that I could see myself living in #TravelAddictsHistory #TravelAddicts

The #Renaissance was a cultural movement in Europe spanning the 15th and 16th centuries. It is known for art, science, architecture and more, and a separation of those things from religion. Let’s visit it through travel! Chat begins NOW! #TravelAddictsHistory #TravelAddicts

The precision flying that these heli skiing pilots have is insane. They literally land within a couple feet of you. Awesome experience. #heliskiiing #traveladdicts ✈️🗺️

Driving from Phoenix to Sedona or the Grand Canyon? Consider taking a break along the way to learn about the Sinagua people who lived in Verde River valley. #arizona #traveladdicts duckabroad.substack.com/p/discoverin...

A6 I’m amazed by the Millau Viaduct and the massive skyscrapers -Burj Khalifa. There's little that human’s can’t dream that can be turned into reality. Our ancient dreams of reaching the sky combined with modern engineering continues to push the boundaries of what’s possible. #TravelAddictsHistory

A5 The Pyramids! This is a fascinating time in history to me & seeing first hand how they were designed & built would be amazing. A project like this would be difficult to do now. I’d love to see how the planning was done and how they were able to be so precise. #TravelAddictsHistory #TravelAddicts
