Local Travel Tip

There are many reasons to stay at home and not travel. These reasons range from the expense, to risk of disease, to the hassle involved. However, there are so many things that a traveler learns that someone who stays at home is likely not to ever learn.

For example, someone who gets out in the world and travels is likely to learn that people around the world are very similar. While there are cultural, traditional, and belief differences, fundamental most people are the same. We love our families, and feel connected and devoted to our loved ones. We also have the same needs for food, sleep, and safety.

The flight into the Bay islands by Honduras is one of the most spectacular landings in the world. The Bay islands consist of Roatan, Utila, and Guanaja. These beautiful islands are surrounded by brilliant blue waters that are the home of the second largest barrier reef in the world.

As a result, this is an ideal location to dive and snorkel. In fact, thousands of people travel from all over the world to get a taste of the Bay islands. There are hundreds of tiny shops and places to pick up a drink on a hot day lining the coast.

The piers are an excellent place to take the one you love to watch the fantastic sunsets sink into the west. Later, enjoy some of the cultural music played in bars and other gathering places.

Tired of all the same vacation location with the same sandy beaches or fast modern life? Here are some of the most uniquely intriguing places to visit in the world.

1. San Zhi, Taiwan: This abandoned city looks like something out of a science fiction movie with its pod shaped living spaces. These pods were originally built as a luxury vacation location, but construction was stopped after a series of fatal accidents and lack of money. This area is rumored to be haunted by the ghosts of those that die.
2. Balestino, Italy: This abandoned town has a mysterious heritage. The original founding of the town is unknown and the presumed cause for abandonment is ‘geological unstability.’ However, many of the buildings are still standing.
3. Katoli World, Taiwan: This amusement park was very popular and created much laughter in its time. However, a earthquake struck the park in 1999 which destroyed many of the rides and caused the park to close. It is now rusting away.
