Tuesday, what can be said about Tuesday? Usually here at HostelTimes.com, we say we would rather be traveling! It's a day full of talk about destinations and what to do while visiting. Now, we all know that Google lends a helpful hand in depicting the top destinations to visit around the world or in a particular country, but what is REALLY in a destination? Is it a location? Is it a city? Is it a landmark? A beach, perhaps? Let's dive a little deeper into the meaning of a destination and highlight just a few of our favorites, not necessarily because of their overall popularity, but because of what they have to offer that is not so mainstream.
Washington, D.C.: If you follow our Facebook, then you probably noticed by now that we mentioned the George Washington Masonic Temple. This place is amazing because of its history, yes, but for those of us who are not going to remember the details associated with the history, there is still much to be appreciated: the architecture, the surrounding grounds, the strange rooms inside and, most of all, the sweeping views of the city, the Potomac River and Virginia. It's not just a city filled with suits and history, but one in which the beauty can be appreciated.
San Jose, Costa Rica: When you think Costa Rica, do you think: rain forest or beach? In the past, I thought beach, but now all I can see is the vivid colors of the rain forest with volcanoes in the background. Maybe a tropical bird wakes you up in the morning and you go for a stroll to enjoy the jugglers at the Parque Morazan before embarking on your journey to La Paz Waterfall Gardens. After exploring the natural areas nearby, you can return to your hostel and relax before bar hopping in Barrio La California.
Vancouver, Canada: Home of the 2010 Winter Olympics, Vancouver is a lively city. Rated as one of the top cities in Canada, Vancouver has amazing scenery and happens to be sandwiched in a prime location between mountains and ocean. So whether you are interested in snowboarding in the mountains or windsurfing in the ocean, Vancouver has something for everyone. A port-city, Vancouver's bars and shops offer plenty of activities for nightlife or even those just making a pit stop before embarking on their next adventure.
