The fact that we know out planet pretty well by now (although not entirely), can be a blessing or a curse, depending on your sense of adventure. If you have the time and the money, and you know where you want to go, you can travel anywhere on the map, which is definitely a good thing. On the downside, however, some people could argue that much of the mystery is gone, and trips are no longer journeys of exploration that can lead you to unknown places.

Fireworks are what make the 4th of July so great, but as everybody knows, that’s not all there is to the American national day. Most of the time, the bigger a city is, the more elaborate and long the celebrations tend to be, and the festivities are definitely not limited to fireworks (although these can be quite impressive on their own, and a the perfect grand finale for the day).
Concerts, events, theater, exhibitions, parties, food and drink, that’s what you can expect at the grandest 4th of July celebrations in the US, and here’s a list of some of the best. …

Top 5 destinations that used to be popular (and should be again)
Once a travel destination becomes famous, nothing guarantees that it will stay like that for ever. Lots of places that used to be all the hype a couple of decades ago have been forgotten, some because they ran out of fashion, others because they did not develop as much as other destinations.

Visiting Centralia, Pennsylvania
photo by RunTellmanRun
Centralia, a little town in Pennsylvania’s coal region, used to be a bustling mining center, until 1962, when a fire broke out in the mines.
Supposedly the fire started from a waste disposal site, which was burned but not fully extinguished and the fire entered into the coal mine beneath. All attempts to extinguish it failed. The fire is estimated to have now spread over 400 acres and has enough coal to continue burning for another 250 years in its 8 mile mine.
Nobody knew how bad the damage was until the 70’s, and since then people have started abandoning the town. Now, Centralia is a ghost town, but that doesn’t mean that there aren’t plenty of things to see there.
In addition to the rather creepy history of the town, or the fact that at the first glance it looks like nothing more than a field with some roads on it, Centralia is a very interesting destination to say the least. So here some tips about visiting Centralia, Pennsylvania. …

The best stargazing spots in the world
I firmly believe that stargazing is one of the oldest hobbies in the world. Stars have been a source of fascination for humans for millenia, and after a while we even discovered how to make use of them (in navigation, for example), but simply gaping at them remained a favorite past-time for many.For stargazing, you don’t necessarily need materials, only good eyesight (of course, a fancy telescope does help). Just grab a star chart and find a good place to stargaze. Here’s our list of the best stargazing spots in the world. …
