By Georgia Hopkins, Founder of It’s Beautiful Here

We sat down with the incredible Georgia Hopkins — the talent behind It’s Beautiful Here — to find out what travel means to her, her favourite places in the world, and her top five recommendations for resetting and recharging.

What does travel and experiencing new places mean to you?

“Travel means everything to me. I believe it’s one of the most transformative experiences we can have. I am a very curious person and I love the feeling of being outside my comfort zone—travel has a way of pushing those boundaries.
I love spending time connecting with different people and learning the nuances of different cultures. I think that travel opens our minds and deepens our sense of empathy, it reminds us that we are all more alike than we often realise.
What I find beautiful is that with every trip and every new connection, the world feels a bit smaller and more navigable – making it feel both vast and intimate all at once.”

Your top 3 favourite places in the world, and why.

Japan

For its harmonious blend of tradition and modernity, its quiet and humble beauty, and its deep cultural appreciation for simplicity and aesthetics.

New Zealand

For its pure and unspoiled landscapes and the deep connection it offers with nature throughout every season.

Greece

For the simple life. The sea. The sunshine. The people. The music and the food. The traditions. There is something very special about the Greek way of life.
