    Just because an exotic plant native to some remote Pacific island could not possibly survive a temperate weather with its unavoidable cold rains and snows didn’t mean that enthusiastic botanists didn’t try their best to find ways to keep their hobbies alive.

    Greenhouses were already being built in the 13th century, but even the ancient Roman new a thing or two about growing plants in controlled spaces.

    Nowadays, you can find industrial sized greenhouses in many countries (Holland has some of the biggest greenhouses in the world), but it’s the greenhouses that were built for fun, style, or science that are really worth visiting. Here are some of the most fascinating greenhouses from around the world that make visit-worthy travel attractions.

    In general museums are places where the work of artists are put on display, but sometimes the celebrity artist is interesting enough to warrant a museum for her or himself. Writers, painters and musicians from the past and present get their own museums if they are famous and intriguing enough!

    The (in)famous who leave memorabilia behind after their death, or reach unbelievable levels of stardom in their life have shrines made in their honor, where fans and visitors can pay homage or simply satisfy their curiosity. If you’re in the mood for a lighthearted and exciting museums experience, check out a few of the top 5 celebrity museums from around the world.

    The image of Charles Hawtrey, Bernard Bresslaw and Sid James driving into a campsite to witness Barbara Windsor and company practicing their aerobics may be a blast from British comedy’s iconic past, but there remain many excellent reasons to ‘carry on camping’ in the UK and in particular, the south-western corner of the country.

    From the quaint country villages and unspoilt verdant countryside of the Cotswolds, Somerset and Hampshire, to the glorious coastal resorts of Dorset, the unspoilt beauty of Devon and the charm, majesty and excitement of Cornwall, south-west England is an area that is truly blessed as a holiday destination. A wealth of exciting opportunities lies in wait for anybody willing to explore this part of the country in a little more depth.

    Gold Coast

    Surfing might not look like it, but it is a pretty old sport, dating back to at least the 18th century, when Europeans first learned about it. In Polynesia, people have been surfing for centuries, and in ancient Hawaii, surfing was more than a sport, it was an art and part of culture.

    Today, surfing is enjoyed by millions of people, and not even only by the lucky ones who live near a beach. It’s only natural that there should be festivals to celebrate this sport, and they are not as unusual as one might think. So if you would like to share your love of surfing with other like minded people, here are some of the best surf festivals in the world.

    Cape Town

    The simple geographic definition of cape, that is a body of land jutting into a body of water, can’t possibly describe the sheer beauty that many capes have. Cape Cod, for example, is one of the most beautiful places in the US, and it’s not the only cape that can boast of exceptional beauty and touristic potential.

    You might not set out on a journey to visit the most beautiful capes in the world, but if you happen to be in the area, you will definitely enjoy visiting these places.
