Where in the World are the Top 100 City Destinations?

Talks about travel and tourism have been around even in the wake of the global pandemic. For humans, nothing can quench the thirst for adventure. There are a few names that always come at the top when we consider travelling. These cities have held prestige for being the ultimate tourist attraction over the years. Yet the fact cannot be changed that each city around the world brings something special to the table with its distinct culture.

London gives the classic England vibes and it is known for its mostly cloudy weather. Or the fresh Renaissance spirit and vibes that generate from Florence, Italy. If we come a bit toward the East, then Agra in India reminds us of the legacy of Mughals— one of the many Indian cities to do so, due to the magnificent Taj Mahal, a marvel and one of the seven wonders of the world. Every city within a country has its own specialities to explore.

A Guide to Buying the Right Tent for Camping

Camping is one of those outdoor, leisure and adventurous activities which will perhaps never go out of fashion. If you are already a regular camper, then you must be aware that making good choices for camping gear is important. The most basic requirement for camping is, of course, a tent. 

Choosing a tent may sound simple. After all, it is only a tent that you have to pick. But the truth is that even with tents, you have to plan ahead. Moreover, there are also a couple of other accessories that can go with your tent. For instance, if you are taking a lot of luggage along for camping, then your tent has to have huge storage space. Imagine having to put away some of your things outside because the tent is too small! Or if you have more people along with you and they're unable to fit in. Now that would be disastrous!

The Origins of Mountain Trail Biking

The story of mountain biking can be traced to Marin Country, California in the United States of America. This is not to say that there haven't been bikers or riders before that, but rather the gravity of the situation taken by the bikers in Marin County was on a whole other level.

Since mountains are comprised of high and low steeps, mountain bikes are different too. Bike manufacturers started producing lighter bikes to make it easier for bikers to rule every high or low steep that comes along the trail they embark their ride on.

25 of the World's Creepiest Abandoned Places

If you're into strange places across the globe, you may even be a fan of ghostbuster shows. Creepy abandoned places have a charm which is simply hard to resist, especially for adventure and thrill-seekers. Nobody goes there, so the desire to visit such places even once makes it more alluring than visiting destinations bustling with tourists.

Abandoned places are usually presumed to be haunted since there is no sign of human life around. As for creatures other than human beings and animals, there may be some signs- who is to know? Jokes apart, as much as there can be paranormal activity at these places, they are still visited. However, a long stay at these places is not possible.

So Much to Do at Lombok Island!

The sandy beaches, dramatic sunsets and the sight of the glistening vast oceans- who doesn't love islands? And when you speak about islands, Indonesia is just one of those countries you can't leave out- it boasts as many as seventeen thousand islands. Amongst these, Bali is known as one of the world's top tourist destination but there has been a recent addition to the list of beautiful tourist-spot Indonesian islands, and that is Lombok Island.

Let's come to the facts which make islands such a popular tourist destination. One reason is that they offer a variety of experiences in just a few days. You can experience mountainous sights, a bit of nightlife (if that's the kind of island you are going to), as well as just play with sand and water as it touches your sunburnt feet. It doesn't matter if you are going on a honeymoon or just a family vacation, islands can offer you an adventure of all kind.  

Now there's so much to do at Lombok Island as well. Whether you are a fan of exploring the land or swimming along with marine creatures in the depths of the ocean, you'll find it there. Activities ranging from surfing and diving to rafting and motocross, all are eagerly awaiting you. Not only this, but the literal meaning of 'Lombok' is chilli and the island has been named so due to its famous spicy chilli peppers.

Baby boomer travelers – A remunerative demographic

Traveling is the favorite hobby of everyone regardless of their age. We believe that the young generation travels the most, but reality turns out to be different. The highest rate of travelers in the US was of the baby boomers. People who were born between 1946-1964 are usually known as 'Baby Boomers'. The reason for them being traveling lovers is that they have gathered enough cash to spend on themselves. Moreover, they don't have any rush and stress of daily work; hence, they can travel whenever they like, wherever they want.

Ten Tourist places that won't Last Long
Everyone has a desire to visit the whole world, especially the most beautiful places around the world. People often go on world tours, but obviously, all of the sites are not covered in that, and we often can't decide on our own which places we should visit first and which ones we can visit later. However, now I am going to share some places which you should visit before others. It is not only because of their beauty, but sadly those places are diminishing due to human activities, and we want to be able to see them in their current beautiful form after a decade or two. Humans have always cared about their benefit, harming natural life, and without even thinking that those are also living creatures, and they also need proper living conditions to sustain. They add beauty to our world, and it is the responsibility of each of us to preserve them.

But what we do is pollute the environment by releasing various gases and smoke, resulting in global warming that leads to the melting glaciers. When glaciers melt, the sea level rises due to which many islands are at the risk of devolution. Pollution also causes acidic rain that erodes some beautiful marble structures like Taj mahal. Nature has itself preserved places like the island by isolating them from the remaining world. But developing countries near those places have found ways of transportation to these places. Entrepreneurs start their business at such sites in the form of restaurants and hotels. The number of vehicles increases due to the building of roads and bridges and the place loses its pure natural beauty because of this human interruption.
