40 Homes That Feel Too Dreamy To Be Real, As Shared On The ‘Somewhere I Would Like To Live’ Instagram Account
If you live big city life, you probably know what it feels like to rent an overpriced studio, share an apartment with fellow grown-ups or cram yourself into a cupboard-sized flat that means lie-ins are simply impossible. No wonder more and more people on Earth find themselves living in tiny spaces, known as tiny apartments that can be as small as 10 square meters. Tokyo, anyone?
So if you are starting to feel a little claustrophobic in this busy world, this Instagram account comes as a breath of fresh air. Welcome to “Somewhere I Would Like To Live,” an account that offers a beautiful collection of mesmerizing places that truly exist somewhere.

94-years-old Agnes Kasparkova turns a small village in her art gallery in Czech Republic.
These are traditional ornaments and many people used to decorate their houses like this. Mrs. Kasparkova was very skilled. Unfortunately she died in 2018, but her niece continue this tradition.
What a tremendous loss they suffered the day she passed away. So beautiful that she was able to pass along the tradition to her niece though. Through her, Agnes's work will live on.

Stunningly beautiful! Agnes has some incredible talent. I love the vibrant blue colour and flower motif.
If I had even a thimble full of your talent, I would be a very very happy woman.
This grandma definitely puts that monkey Jesus grandma to shame. Amazing skills!
Oh that was terrible. There have been a few such 'restorations'.

I have always loved this look. You just know that she is right in her zone. That is so cool
I want to hang out with Agnes !!!! Things like this probably keep her young. She is definitely leaving her mark.
She works harder then 70% of the people I work with.. How sad is that..
If anyone dare even think about painting over this they will have to answer to me!!!!!!!
If I could afford to live there, I could probably (?) afford a maintenance team...
Our planet Earth is so full of breathtaking places, you would probably need a whole lifetime to travel them all. But let’s say you just decided to do just that. Where to start? How to plan it? What to do and more importantly, not to? These are some of the questions you should consider before buying a one-way flight ticket.
Meanwhile, Big 7 Travel announced the list of the world's top 50 bucket list destinations that shouldn’t surprise us. "White sandy beaches are still a must-visit for many, with vibrant cities also making an appearance on a lot of people’s bucket lists," says Clayton-Lea, the head of the content at Big 7 Travel. In fact, countries with naturally beautiful scenery and world-famous landmarks came out on top: 22% of the destinations on the list have white sandy beaches, while 52% are iconic cities.
So many of these are like, "look at my unpretentious, casually, yet perfectly wrinkled duvet" AKA "I woke up like this"
While Bali topped the list of the 50 most popular bucket list destinations on Earth, some travel picks were less expected. "The top 10 list has a lot of the expected dream destinations, but there are a few surprises on the list: Paro Valley in Bhutan, for example, or Virunga National Park in the Congo," Clayton-Lea commented. "I think this shows a great appetite for a need to get off the grid and can only assume that social media (and Netflix, in the case of Virunga!) is responsible for spreading the word of these amazing places."
Bruges, Belgium. This dog was a popular tourist attraction, as it hung out in its usual place above one of the canals in the town. Unfortunately, when I went there, the dog had passed away several years ago.
Bored Panda reached out to Jolene and Andrzej Ejmont, the serial travelers and creators of family travel blog “Wanderlust Storytellers” to find out some tips that you will find useful in case you set out on a mission to visit any of these places.“It's no secret that often things go against the plan while traveling. But the best way to ensure that your mood stays good, even when things go not according to plan, is to pre-plan the ‘buffer time’ for when you are at a particular destination,” the Ejmont family told us. “For example: if you are going to Rome for three days exploring, book four days to be safe. And if that doesn’t help, there’s always cocktails, chocolate and ice cream.”
Moreover, little details count when you travel and hiring a car without a GPS is such an easy mistake to make, but it can surely make your travel go sour. “It is so much better to rely on the GPS than your personal phone’s maps. It doesn’t matter then if you happen to have no reception on your mobile phone,” Andrzej said.
When asked whether, in their opinion, people are generally more experienced at traveling these days, the Ejmont family said that’s definitely the case. “People are slowly venturing out to more and more of less-travelled destinations and experiencing travels like never before.”
“This, of course, creates more understanding for travel and as a side effect, enriches more and more souls with tolerance, humility and compassion,” Andrzej told us.
"‘The Scola Tower’ Built in the 17th century, It stands over 42 feet tall in the sea by La Spezia, #Italy The tower was originally designed, as part of a defensive system for the Senate of the Republic of Genoa"
When asked about solo traveling, which seems to be tending lately, Andrzej said that solo travels are filled with adventures like no other. “To lose yourself in passion for travel and be open-minded to whatever comes your way, whomever you meet… definitely an adventure in itself.”
This would definitely be in my she shed. I have always wanted a place strictly dedicated to my reading area.
"Barcelona’s Liceu opera audience was made up of 2292 plants. A string quartet performed Puccini to the potted plants before they were donated to 2292 health workers"

Beautiful, but I would do nothing except stare at that spot of imperfectly-trimmed arch on the left and seethe all day long. LOL

Some are too big, some are too people-ly but all of them are beautiful in their own way. Give me a small home, large acreage for my dog to run and not too close to people and I'm good.
Yeah, there was quite a bit that didn't disclose the location, but there also quite a bit that did, some of em had captions/brief summaries underneath the pics while others had comments from people who knew where the pictures came from, due to remarkable Geography intelligence and living in or near the areas personally. That's part of the reason I like scrolling through the comments xD

Beautiful places, but it would have been nice if BP would have bothered to let us know where ALL of them are located.
Sure beautiful windows look nice in a photo, and if it rained it would be cool, but if it's sunny you would fry.
I'm allergic to a majority of this list. The rest of them I'd love to visit.
Ugh. I feel like this is a collection of places that rich people live. But I know that there are plenty of wild untouched parts of the world where poor people live too.
all of these photos hit different when you realize people ACTUALLY live there
All are the same in that they are still life's caught in a moment of perfection. All are beautiful in their own way but I can't look at any one of them without think of the real life aspect of maintaining them so they continue looking like this or the real life aspect that the novelty of the place would wear off quickly (#4 especially quick).
Loads of these look amazing, but a problem with a lot of them is what happens at 9pm when you realise that you don't have enough milk for breakfast. It must be miles till the nearest tesco
Would be nice to have the money to explore so many nice places like this.
