Klevan, Ukraine
This place is tucked away from the hustle and bustle, so some locals don’t even know of its location. Known as “The Tunnel of Love,” it is said that lovers who walk hand-in-hand beneath the channel’s kilometer-long greenery will live happily ever after.

Fun Idea
Me and my partner have a poster of the world, every time we travel somewhere new, we stick in a pin to represent where we have been.
When ever I walk past it brings back our memories and gets me excited for future plans.
Its so much fun and would be perfect for all families to do.
Aogashima Volcano, Japan
Aogashima is a small, tropical volcanic island in the Philippine Sea, under the administration of Tokyo. The island itself is a giant volcanic crater, and within that crater there is another, smaller volcano.
Aogashima is still considered an active Class-C volcano though it last erupted in the 1780s. When it last erupted it killed nearly half of the islands population and forced the remaining inhabitants to flee. It took just fifty years for the people to return. Today, some 200 brave villagers live on the island.

Hiller lake(pink lake), Western Australia
This pink lake is a natural phenomenon and not only draw visitors from far and wide but also provide livelihoods to local people.
Pink lakes tend to have a striking colour due to the presence of algae that produces carotenoids, such as Dunaliella Salina, a type of halophile green micro-algae especially found in sea salt fields.
Lake Hillier is a pink-coloured lake on Middle Island, the largest of the islands and islets that make up the Recherche Archipelago, in Western Australia. The lake spans only about 600 meters wide but its rose pink colour is unmistakable

Christ of the Abyss at San Fruttuoso, Italy
A a submerged bronze statue of Jesus Christ, the Christian Messiah, it was placed in the water on 22 August 1954 at approximately 17 metres depth, and stands c. 2.5 metres tall. Various other casts of the statue are located in other places worldwide, both underwater and in churches and museums.

This is a hauntingly stunning sight, that not many get to see.
Salar de Uyuni, Bolivia
The world's largest salt flat at 10,582 square kilometers. The Salar was formed as a result of transformations between several prehistoric lakes. It is covered by a few meters of salt crust, which has an extraordinary flatness with the average altitude variations within one meter over the entire area of the Salar. The large area, clear skies, and the exceptional flatness of the surface make this the worlds largest mirror.
Bamboo Forest, Japan
Sagano Bamboo Forest is located in Arashiyama, a district on the west outskirts of Kyoto, Japan. Sagano Bamboo Forest is one of the most amazing natural sites in Japan.
One of the most interesting facts about Sagano Bamboo Forest is the sound which the wind makes while it blows amongst the bamboo. Amazingly enough, this sound has been voted on as one of the ”one hundred must-be-preserved sounds of Japan” by the Japanese government.
