40 Insanely Cool And Unique Places You Need To Visit Before Your Friends Do

Beyond the United States, I haven’t traveled much. Now that I think about it, even within the United States, my traveling experience has been limited to the cities where I’ve done stand-up. That’s not to say I haven’t seen a lot of cool places, but there are still so many places I’d love to visit and things I’d love to see. Some might call them bucket-list travel destinations. I’d agree.

These cool places are pretty remarkable, and when you see them, you can’t help but bask in the awe and wonder of the world we’re living in. It’s an excellent reminder that this world is amazing sometimes. That’s why seeking out the good stuff while we’re here is essential.

If you’re in need of inspiration, might I recommend some of these unique places? Even if you can’t make it there, these pictures will fill the void. For now, at least.
