Discover eccentric, bizarre and wonderful places at 'Atlas Obscura'

As world the shrinking with the use of internet, one can discover the places around the world with just one click of mouse. There are still many places around the globe which are still to be discovered. Many wonders around the world are yet to be seen.

Atlas Obscura, a compendium of this age's wonders, curiosities, and esoterica. The Atlas Obscura is a collaborative project with the goal of cataloging all of the singular, eccentric, bizarre, fantastical, and strange out-of-the-way places that get left out of traditional travel guidebooks and are ignored by the average tourist. If you're looking for miniature cities, glass flowers, books bound in human skin, gigantic flaming holes in the ground, phallological museums, bone churches, balancing pagodas, or homes built entirely out of paper, the Atlas Obscura is where you'll find them.

The Atlas Obscura is not just about collecting oddities. In an age where everything seems to have been explored and there is nothing new to be found, the Atlas Obscura celebrates a different way of traveling, and a different lens through which to view the world.

They say:

'The Atlas Obscura depends on our community of far-flung explorers to find and report back about the world's wonders and curiosities. If you have been to, know of, or have heard about a place that belongs in the Atlas Obscura, we want you to tell us about it. Anyone and everyone is welcome and encouraged to nominate places for inclusion, and to edit content already in the Atlas'

Picnic basket tips to make your picnic memorable

I always pack my picnic basket alongwith some stuff which is very handy during picnic trips like garbage bags, moist towlettes, wash cloth, liquid soup, toilet paper rolls and a tiny first aid kit which includes ORS saline, antacids, pain killers, first aid handy bandages, and mosquito bite repellent. You need to first check the climate and your picnic place envirenment to make the list. This post helps you learn many picnic basket tips to make your picnic memorable and joyous.

Few tips for packing picnic baskets:

Take what you need and no less. Take what you want and no more.

The Basket - don't use bags. They will be trampled on, fall over, be crushed, etc. Use any basket, strong tote, cooler or the like. Rectangular will always fit better. Consider a container that can also be used as a small table.

Cooler or ice chest - A must for all perishables. Try to match the cooler and contents. Don't lug around an enormous cooler for a couple of sandwiches and one 6-pack of drinks. Do leave room for ice. The day before, fill the cooler with ice and then drain and re-fill when you pack before leaving.

A valuable tip: Take notes on what to do next time - just tuck the note in your picnic basket. It will be a pleasant discovery when you start putting together your next picnic.

* 'The Site.org' offers the list of stuff you need to check before packing and there are some useful tips like:

* Put your email address on your luggage instead of your home address and put a card with your name, address and phone number inside the case. This will keep your home safe and also allow airport security to identify you as the owner of your case, should it get lost/ delayed.

* Check the seasonal weather reports before you go to be prepared for whatever likely eventuality.
