Five Ways to Find a Unique Travel Destination

1. ASK A PROFESSIONA                                     2.  HELP THE WORLD

3. USE WORLD TOURIST GUIDES                    4.  RELY ON YOUR FRIENDS' EXPERIENCE

5. SEARCH THE INTERNET                                6.  HEADS OR TAILS?

   Any country and area hides unknown tourist attractions. The more dif­ficult it will be to get there, the more interesting and different your ex­perience will be. So here are five ways you can try to find an unusual journey.

A    One thing you can always try is to find a world map or globe and choose a random point without looking at it. This is extremely fun and can give some of the best results, since you can end up with totally unique results. So what if you point to Alaska or Tibet? These make perfect destinations. If you already visited that place, just start over. The idea is to go the first place you choose that is totally new, not look for the most convenient destination.

В    Another trick is to buy the "1.000 Places you must see before you die" book or something similar and open at a random page. These books have the most beautiful and attractive places on earth, so your satisfaction will be guaranteed. You can get a copy from almost every library or just borrow one. It seems to be one of the most beautiful books in the world, so you can start adding up new places every holi­day.

С    Something else you can try is to search online for the most unusual events or festivals around the world. Find one that happens when you can travel and choose to go there. Meeting new traditions and cultures can be the most rewarding activity. From enjoying the most unusual African rhythms, to watching the Indians bathe in the Ganges, unique experiences are always available, you just have to search.

D    A totally unique way to travel and see new places is to go in a volun­tary camp. People all over the world need your help for many things. This is a way to combine two things: helping others and helping your­self to see and experiment new feelings. From helping endangered species of animals in the jungle to supporting some kind of events, you can both travel and cut from your expenses.

E    Something you can try if you really do not want to make any efforts is to go to a travel agent and ask him to pick a destination that is most unusual and arrange for your trip. This is usually not as original and unique as the other methods, but it can give you some nice destina­tions you have never seen before. The advantage is that you do not put so much work and it works well if you do not have so much time avai­lable.

   So these were just some easy and crazy ideas about how you could get a special travel destination that will give you some unique experi­ences and exciting journeys. The road is endless!
