I was planning to make a big celebratory post for the 100th spot on my wowmap… but turns out I totally missed the moment - there are already 121!
It all started about three years ago, when I wanted to take a weekend trip to another city but couldn’t decide where to go. There were things that interested me in both places, so to keep track I pinned them on a map. Back then, I just wanted to wander through beautiful, unusual spots - the kind of places where you can’t help but say wow.
The very first “wow-place” I added was Mirage Cinema in St. Petersburg - minimalist, neon-lit, with theatrical curtains. An interior that pulls you out of everyday life and drops you into another world for a few hours.
That became the idea behind my map: places that feel like entire worlds of their own. Alien, surreal, sometimes more like something dreamt up by an AI than part of real life.
And the anniversary entry, number 100, was the La Géode dome in Parc de la Villette, Paris.
