Its simply amazing - excellent for travel enthusiasts. It would be great if travelling with proper mix and match. You can say it travelling mix and match.
Where are:
- Who and why did Revolution in Russia in 1917?
- Where is Russian Emperor's gold (supposedly stolen ~ 1918 17,815.147 kilograms of gold)?
- What was Jews role BEFORE World War 2?
- many others.
Those shown in the article - they are not even secrets.
Dang! I was thinking this was an article about 'important' secrets like: "Who was Carly Simon referring to when she wrote YOUR SO VAIN?".
I have been to Tassia and it is simply amazing! The people are wonderful, the food unbelievable and the location is serene and peaceful. The daily hikes are exciting and I was able to see a huge variety of wildlife. The guides that work at the lodge are Masaai locals and have a tremendous knowledge of the wilderness. I learned everything from animal track identification to edible and medicinal plants in the area. Highly, highly recommend it!
Westfjords is an adventure worth exploring. Látrabjarg cliff is the largest seabird colony in the northern Atlantic and the most western-point of Europe. Rauðasandur beach is one of the most spectacular sites of Iceland. Check out at visitwestfjords.com
Hovingham is such a picture postcard village. Lovely to sit by the beck and watch the world go by.
These mountain areas from Nepal to Pakistan called Koh-e-Hamalia one the beautiful wonders of the world.
Nice to see that Nepal is often quoted in international destinations despite of economic & political situations going down each day!
Garden of dreams is certainly a superb place to be in tranquility.

What in God's name is "seafood cappucino" ? Do you mean "cioppino"?, because there's a helluva difference...

When in the Westfjords, during your stay in Iceland, consider visiting the Arctic Fox Center in Súðavík: http://www.arcticfoxcenter.com/
As Cathryn Drake says, the Westfjords landscape has a palpable
supernatural spirit, and that's what I try to bring to life in my
children's stories set in the Westfjords.
I think Andaman and Nicobar islands of Indian sub continent is also a must visit place if once wants to give a treat to mind and body.

When I was a kid in Panama we got to go camping in some old spanish ruins. Loved growing up in the air force.
What a great list of places, particularly the pre-Angkorian city in Cambodia to avoid the crowds at Angkor Wat. I'd also suggest visiting Little Petra, the much lesser visited cousin of the well known Petra in Jordan. Here's a story about our visit to it: http://www.changesinlongitude.com/visit-to-jordan-little-petra/
