Top five quirky destinations in Europe

[like]

This is a guest post by publishersnetwork.com

The typical visitor to Europe sees cities such as Paris, London, and Vienna, but this continent also offers a wealth of destinations that are much quirkier. From a museum about a non-existent corporation to a hidden underground submarine base, Europe is full of fascinating surprises, but only for those who understand that sometimes, a tourist needs to stray far from the beaten path.

 

Balaklava, Ukraine

Located on the tip of the Crimean Peninsula, this port city on the Black Sea used to be situated inside the USSR. What makes it truly quirky, however, is a facility that was once one of the region’s most deeply held secrets: a Soviet nuclear submarine base. The underground base is missing all the submarines these days, but because the facility was designed to withstand a direct hit by an atomic bomb, its infrastructure remains intact. The public is now welcome to enter and to explore the tunnels and submarine bays.

Five Reasons to Hop on a Plane to Florida

[like]

This guest post is from Joe Schembri who has enjoyed the Florida lifestyle since 1990. He’s a huge fan of kayaking, spending time at the beach and traveling around the state. All photos are his own.


Florida has so much to offer any traveler, from families looking for fun, couples looking for romance and friends looking for adventure. There is so much to see and do that every moment of your Florida vacation will be packed to the brim. The reasons to come to the Sunshine State are endless, but here are some of the things on the top of the list.

 

Beautiful weather

Florida is known for its wonderful climate. People from up north flock to Florida every winter to luxuriate in the warm weather. When others are shoveling snow off of their driveways, Floridians are still able to hit the beach for tanning, relaxing and even kayaking. Here is a list of many areas around the state your family can enjoy a day of kayaking.

Florida is not just lovely in the wintertime. The entire year is bathed in sunshine, which makes it easy to enjoy all of the fun that your trip has to offer. Whether you are heading to the beach or hitting up some theme parks, the warm weather will follow you all over the state.

 

Waterfront views

Spending time on the water can be soothing or thrilling. In Florida, you’re never far from the shore. Between the Gulf of Mexico, Atlantic Ocean or the thousands of lakes throughout the state, a trip to Florida allows you to spend as much time as you’d like on the water.

The different bodies of water each offer their own form of entertainment. You can take a glass-bottomed boat through the swampy waters of the Everglades. You can sail above the Gulf of Mexico in a parasail or catch a few waves in the Atlantic Ocean. If getting into the water isn’t your thing, sitting on the shore watching the sun glint off of the waves is a fantastic way to pass a day.

Cowboys and Indians – A Guide to Native American Culture

This is a guest post by Ross Tavendale, responsible for the online PR for Boots.com

Native American History

Thousands of years before Juan Ponce de Leon set foot in Florida, Native American cultures flourished throughout the United States. According to anthropologists, America’s original inhabitants crossed an isthmus that once connected Russia and the U.S. over 12,000 years ago.

The settlers migrated from Eurasia and arrived in the U.S. in three migratory waves. As they dispersed across the land, Native Americans modified their clothing, diets and lodgings in response to the environment that they encountered. The U.S. has 564 Native American tribes with distinct cultures and languages. There are several popular Native American cultural attractions in the U.S. Many locations offer hiking, fishing, horseback riding and other outdoor activities.
