Most Overrated Travel Destinations
There are certain places on this planet that we are regularly told that we should want to go to. Or, perhaps we actually do want to check them out. They're supposed to be where "it all happened," or they're supposed to be incredibly glamorous.

Six Places to Travel by Train In Europe
With the advent of discount flights, the default way of travelling around Europe seems to have become flying. Trying to cram everything into a small carry-on suitcase, having to limit your liquids to small bottles that won’t trigger any security alerts, getting to the airport at least an hour before you leave, standing in endless queues, and trying to stay upbeat and positive when everyone around you is become increasingly irritable and grumpy.

Ultimate List of Travel Movies
Some of the earliest stories written told of heroes traveling to new vistas; it should be no surprise that so many travel movies have been released. Each film tackles different elements of travel. Sometimes, traveling can be a wacky trip to some destination. Other times, it's a spiritual and emotional experience. And then it can be a hollow, tragic notion that leaves everyone miserable.
