]]> One of the main draws of the United States as a tourist destination is its vast, sprawling, diverse landscape with so much beautiful, natural scenery of different types to visit. From the Grand Canyon to Yellowstone National Park, you’ll never run out of places to stop by on your road trip. Here are three outdoor destinations you may not have heard of.

Dry Tortugas National Park in Florida

It’s hard to say why a place as beautiful as this wouldn’t be more well-known, but here we are. Dry Tortugas National Park has crystal blue waters, white sandy beaches, and stunning wildlife including coral reefs and sea turtles.

Paint Mines Interpretive Park in Colorado

Named for the colorful bands of clay that are all over this park, Paint Mines Interpretive Park has got breathtaking views with its geological formations and exposed layers of selenite clay and jasper. It’s great for a day hike.

Petrified Forest National Wilderness Area in Arizona

If you’re into science or history, this is a must-visit park for you. It’s full of petrified wood fossils from the Late Triassic period of the Mesozoic era 225 million years ago. It’s like taking a walk through an alien ancient landscape.

]]> The Fira de Bellcaire, or more popularly known as Els Encants Vells (the Spanish phrase for Old Charms), is the largest flea market in Barcelona and one of the oldest markets in Europe. It first opened in the 13th century and has since changed multiple locations.

In 2013, it finally settled by the Plaça de Les Glòries Catalanes, known as the “new” center of Barcelona, opposite the Agbar Tower.

What makes this market an impressive place to see is its architecture. A multileveled platform and a 33,306 meter squared radiant mirrored canopy was designed by architect Fermin Väzquez and today stands as one of the most beautiful modern market buildings in Europe.

The open-air structure preserves the old market’s outdoor atmosphere, while the roof serves as protection from the sun and rain. It is a building without walls and is made accessible from all sides, in order to prevent big crowds. 

The market is visited by 100,000 people every week and has become a popular tourist spot. It makes for an exciting shopping experience, where you can hunt for unique vintage and antique items, as well as clothes, housewares, jewelry, tools, cosmetics, and textiles.

The market is brimming with second-hand goods but offers a big variety of new products for sale as well. If you enjoy a good shopping experience but love to stay outside, make sure not to miss it on your next trip to Barcelona.

]]> Getting outside from time to time is vitally important for the body and mind. It creates a sense of well-being that, well let’s face it, no other activity can. Here are just some of the reasons you need to get outside:

It recharges the body

Being outdoors gives the body a break from the day to day routine. When you’re outside on a sunny day you give your body a vitamin D boost. If you’re a city dweller, breathing in a lungful or two of fresh air will also give your body an oxygen boost.

It reminds you of who you are

Outdoor activities take many of us back to the fond memories of our childhoods, where responsibilities were few and opportunities for fun were many. It also gives us a chance to reconnect with the person we were which is connected to the person we are.

It challenges you

Being outdoors and doing activities you are unfamiliar with will challenge you and make you dig deep to find the courage and strength to complete them. This boosts your self-confidence.

]]> In the hustle and bustle of city life, it’s hard to believe that a sense of balance can be created in the concrete jungle. But several cities offer their residents and visitors a balance to keep them physically, mentally and emotionally healthy.

Sydney (Australia)

This city has many outdoor areas and activities to encourage people to get outside and exercise. Health restaurants and fitness centers are plentiful.

London (United Kingdom)

Holistic health and beauty treatment facilities, as well as juice bars and raw eateries, are booming businesses in the British capital.

Copenhagen (Denmark)

In this beautiful city, walking and cycling are strongly encouraged, and few people drive their cars during the summer months.

Tokyo (Japan)

A deep-seated need for calm and serenity are important in the Japanese culture and this comes through in the design and atmosphere of its capital.

Los Angeles (California)

Health food cafes and yoga studios are popular, and the beautiful weather is perfect for getting outdoors and exercising.

Stockholm (Sweden)

The city focuses on its green operations and encourages its residents and visitors to walk and use the public transport system.
