Want to see the world from home? Visit this site!

By Mary R Stewart

Let me tell you about a really cool website I "discovered" last week! If you, like myself, enjoy natural beauty and exotic places, you have got to check out this site. It is filled with articles about places from all over the world, including every continent and many tropical islands. I was truly amazed by the diversity of the site, and how well they covered so many different locations.

The first article I saw was about Australia, and Australia has always fascinated me. They have some of the most unique wildlife on the planet, such as the kangaroo. But the uniqueness extends beyond the land, also, because the Australian coastal areas also have life forms that you won't find anywhere else in the world.

For some reason, a great many people think of Africa as a vast desert. I don't know why that is, but this website points out how untrue such a belief is. In addition to having more diverse wildlife than almost any other place on the planet, Africa also has tropical beaches, rugged mountains, and lush green savannah filled with all those exotic creatures we've always heard about.
Take a look at some of the most beautiful places on earth!

And everyone knows how diverse the United States can be, I think. The East coast of the country has world renowned tourist locations such as the Florida Everglades, the Florida Keys, and the Great Smokey Mountains in Tennessee. And the West Coast has the state of California, with its combination of almost ever terrain you can imagine, beaches and mountains and deserts and more.

No matter where you go, there will be a myriad of animal life. Panda bears in China, platypus in Australia, or even the world famous (and ravenous) piranha of South America. This site is great to sit down and learn all about life in far away places, or even right in your own area. There is truly something here for everyone, no matter what their natural interests may be.

A lot of people can't think about travel without thinking about beaches. This website I'm talking about has articles about some of the most popular beaches from all over the world. You may not think so, at first, but every beach you can think of has something that sets it apart from all of the others, depending on the climate and how the beach was formed.

And what website that talks about interesting places would be complete without mentioning the modern playground of the world's wealthiest people? Yes, I'm talking about Dubai, and other locations in the United Arab Emirates. Dubai alone has some of the most mind-boggling architecture to be found anywhere on earth.

As you can see from all I've said here, this website is truly remarkable. When it comes to travel spots around the world, this site has some of everything. Every continent is represented, every climate, and all types of terrain. I highly recommend it to everyone who has an interest in the world around us. - 16732
