Here is a growing list of “The Most Dangerous Roads Around The World.”  With millions of drivers on roads every day, raging or not,  people are bound to get into accidents.  But when you’re driving along a road 15 feet wide with a 1000 foot cliff on one side, and part of the road has washed away due to a flash flood, the road conditions are more likely to cause an accident  than driver error.  I’ve experienced that driving aggressively on windy roads, or when taking up both lanes, doing it at night is safer than during the day.  The reason is that when you’re coming around a blind curve or flying over bumps and hills, being able to see the headlights of oncoming traffic is more noticeable farther away, than visibly having to spot the car during the day.  If you’re in an area with lots of wild animals, that’s another story altogether.  The highways through the midwest U.S. in the Dakotas seem to be spread with dead deer nearly every mile, for hundreds of miles.  In that case, just slow down and save the deer, your life, and your car.

Everyday millions of people are traveling to spots as close as an hour away, and to locations halfway around the globe and back.  Even though people travel to identical places, no traveler does it the exact same way, and no traveler’s experience is exactly the same.  Traveling is like a fingerprint, everyone has one but none are identical.
Saving up for a year, to travel around Switzerland meeting the locals, staying at a luxurious hotel halfway up the Matterhorn, eating fondue for every meal, and drinking the finest imported scotches without a care, is probably different than your normal reality.  If it isn’t, you’re lucky!  For this reason, traveling allows us to dream, it allows us to rejuvenate our spirit, and to take a break.
Unfortunate or not, traveling costs time and money, which is the reason planning ahead is necessary for many travelers.  But making your dream trip happen takes logistical planning and research.  And if it doesn’t, you’re also lucky!  Either way, seeing and experiencing new things is what traveling is all about, and that is what this blog will be about   The goal of this blog will be to reveal the destinations, attractions, and activities that will make your dream trip happen.  With the help of the readers,  we can make a dream trip come true.  When a traveler posts the question, where can I eat the best lasagna in Rome, put in your opinion, because you’ll be helping a fellow traveler’s dream trip become a reality.
