Angel Fire New Mexico is a small town but a hugely popular ski resort destination. The actual population of Angel Fire is around 1,000 but thousands more visit every winter to take on the beautiful ski slopes that reach 10,000+ feet in height. Lodging and skiing at Angel Fire is a family tradition for many in the South West, but ski enthusiasts from around the world visit every year.

Deep canyons and crystal clear sunny skies make Angel Fire a breathtakingly beautiful place to visit. The soft blankets of snow also make fantastic ski slopes and snowboarding slopes. There are a number of other activities in the area as well, if you prefer not to ski. Also, you never need to worry about being an amateur because there are plenty of teachers willing to teach beginners how to ski like an expert!

Whether you enjoy shopping normally or not, shopping at some of the legendary destinations in the US can be quite exciting and fun. Of course in order to properly shop you have to have a fair amount of money to spend, but window shopping can be fun as well. If you’re looking for a fresh new kind of vacation, consider the destinations below:

1. Mall of America, Minneapolis

Almost everyone has heard of the Mall of America, but many people have yet to experience it. This 520+ store behemoth is the grand-daddy of all shopping malls. Literally everything you could possibly think of is available for sale at the Mall of America. Obviously due to the massive tourism industry surrounding the Mall, prices are fairly high. However, for most people, the experience is well worth the price. If you can’t afford to drop much money, visiting the Mall of America can still be very fun, even if you only go for a day. There are so many activities and things to see that you will find it hard to get bored.

If you’re looking for an exotic, new kind of vacation, consider visiting beautiful Amsterdam. Located in North Holland, this capital city of the Netherlands is the only place on earth where cannabis, or marijuana, is not only legal – it’s sold in coffee shops.

Tourists and locals enjoy their day at The Green House, a cannabis cafe in downtown Amsterdam

Virtually everywhere you go in Amsterdam you will see what locals and tourists call “Cannabis Cafe’s”. These coffee shops serve all the usuals – mocha’s, latte’s, americano’s, and one unique product – marijuana. You can buy it in many forms, including joints, baked goods, or just in its natural state. Whether you’ve smoked marijuana before or not, Amsterdam can be a very exciting place to visit.

Touted as one of the great ancient wonders of the world, the pyramids of Egypt represent the only wonder still standing. Originally completed in 2560bc, the size and scope of these pyramids make them a must-see travel destination. If you’re looking to visit the pyramids, here are some tips:

The pyramids attract thousands of visitors every year, so it’s best to get there as early in the morning as possible. It’s actually mandatory if you want to go inside the pyramids! It costs about 80 Egyptian pounds to enter the Giza plateau, and another 150 or so to enter one of the pyramids. However, to preserve the pyramids, they limit the number of tickets sold to 150 in the morning and 150 in the afternoon. Another recent change is tour guides are not allowed to purchase tickets for their group, instead all tourists must buy individual tickets at the ticketing center.

Surfing is a very popular sport these days, and there are several “legendary” locations that surfurs gather. There are certain areas that, for whatever reason, are just better for surfing, and an entire industry has been built around these legendary beaches. If you’re a surfing fanatic and would like to surf with the pros, check out the list of destinations below:

1. Waikiki, Hawaii

Wiakiki has been ranked the top surfing beach in the world by several different respected authorities, and for good reason. Located in Honalulu, Hawaii, Waikiki is almost always sunny and warm, and there is a fairly large town surrounding the beach. The waves at Waikiki have consistanty reached heights of over 20 feet, and there’s no shortage of rideable waves. Waikiki is unique in that it has areas suited for both pros and amatuers. New surfers can learn the ropes in Canoes, while experienced surfurs can rip it up at Queens.

The breeze is starting to be chilly and the prices of tickets are going down. If you are in the mood to taste some wine, appreciate the colors of the leaves, or if you just want to enjoy the life in the city then you will love the list that we prepared for you below.

Have a great holiday in some of the best urban centers, wineries, national parks, and orchards. Here are our top picks for the top destinations this season:

Florence, Italy
Florence is the center of the renaissance movement in Italy. It served as the birthplace of what we know today as modern politics. Florence was also considered by the great artist Michelangelo as his adopted hometown. There is a lot more to discover when you travel to Florence Italy.

Whether you’re a novice skier or an expert, a good ski trip can be one of the best experiences of your life. For more than a hundred years, people have been traveling all over the world, just to ski or snowboard. If you are planning a trip and enjoy skiing, check out the best ski destinations in America below.

1. Aspen, Colorado

Aspen has always been a popular destination for winter sports enthusiasts, and for good reason. Located in central Colorado, Aspen has several ski resorts to choose from. While none of them are exactly “cheap”, there is enough variety in Aspen that you can have a good time there on virtually any budget. Of course since it is a major tourist attraction, resorts in the Aspen area will almost always be busy, especially at the prime of the ski season. If you’re looking to save some money and/or avoid the crowds, then going on the offseason or near the end of the season is advisable.

Unfortunately, many of the traditional tourist destinations developed themselves to turning plates of the international crime. It is not your goal to interfere with that, I am sure. You only wish to visit a nice city, its museums, having contact with locals. But you need to stay alert, because the pocket thieves can ruin your vacations! The basic rules to avoid that are very simple and very well known by you, as by any other tourist. But in some places you must take extra care! Most of them are in Europe, as Europe is still the favorite target for many tourists coming from the all world. But some interesting and recommended locations are competing with this fame of the old continent!

So, these are in my opinion some dangerous places:

1.Hanoi. In such an exciting city with a well preserved colonial center and 600 temples there are also some pocket thieves waiting for you.
