What are the most surreal places to visit?
I love visiting surreal places. This list is only the ones I've experienced so far. So many more that I have yet to visit.
1. Jellyfish Lake in the Republic of Palau
Snorkel among thousands of harmless Jellyfish who have lost their ability to sting you due to lack of predators. I visited about 20 years ago, and it is one of my favorite memories.
2. Dinosaur tracks near Tuba City in Arizona.
Near Tuba City on the Navajo reservation in Arizona, there's an area you can turn off the road and it's just prehistoric dinosaur footprints everywhere. There are Navajo natives waiting there who will show you around and act as your guide for a tip.
3. Jökulsárlón in Iceland
It's a glacier lake filled with small icebergs. It's especially surreal in the summertime, when it's sunny and green with icebergs everywhere.
4. The Vasa Museum in Stockholm, Sweden
400 years ago, the king of Sweden built the greatest warship in the world. It sank on its maiden voyage. The discovered the ship again in 1961 and moved it to the Vasa Museum, where you can see it today. It is huge and impressive.
5. Kinkaku-ji in Kyoto, Japan
It's a centuries-old temple with walls of gold on a lake in Kyoto. It's not every day you get to see a golden building in the middle of a Japanese garden.
6. The Alaskan Wilderness in the winter
If you fly to Asia in the winter from the United States, chances are, you'll fly over Alaska. When you look down from the plane, you can see the massive snow covered mountains, uninhabited wilderness, and oxbow lakes in the frozen tundra.
7. Submarine ride in Cozumel, Mexico
I took one of those tourist submarines where they drive around the ocean bottom and you can look out the windows, and it was quite an amazing experience.
8. Redwood forests in California
When you see redwood and giant sequoia trees, you realize just how tiny and short-lived humans are.
9. Grand Prismatic Spring at Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming
A huge, steaming, rainbow colored pool of water. So colorful and hard to imagine it exists on Earth.
10. The Grand Canyon at night
If you ever spend the night at the Grand Canyon, be sure to take a walk outside at midnight. Look down and see the Grand Canyon in the dark... but look up and you see all the stars in the clear night sky.
