There are hundreds if not thousands of social networks dedicated to travel and travellers. They are virtual meeting places where people can share experiences, photos, tips, reviews of cities, hotels and restaurants.
But there are also people that are not seeking for an ideal vacation, who do not want to spend their two weeks of holiday in a five stars hotel, lying under the sun on a Caribbean beach in front of a crystal sea.
When some people think about a trip don’t get satisfied by the things that everyone else usually likes or wants.
Well, for all these people there is an appropriate social network: Atlas Obscura.
To explain what it is I directly report the words of presentation found in the website: “The Atlas Obscura is a collaborative project with the goal of cataloging all of the singular, eccentric, bizarre, fantastical, strange and out-of-the-way places that get left out of traditional travel guidebooks and are ignored by the average tourist.”
Atlas Obscura is therefore a guide to all the unusual and mysterious places on earth. It is produced entirely by users and divided into geographical areas and categories.
If this summer you do not have a clue about where to spend your vacation, what waiting for? Add another social network to those of your list.
