best way to travel...it brings the best out of you; it allows you to discover a place fully by immersing in the new country 110%; it makes you stronger/wiser about the place and helps you get out of your shell and pushes you to meet and discover new people. it takes you out of your comfort zone which will greatly help for your new life.

IMHO there is no better way to travel but to go to an unknown country where you know no one and dont speak the language!

It depends largely on the country.

It could be a good thing like you highlighted, but could also be potentially dangerous. Let's say a foreigner visits Nigeria without knowing anyone. They may be taking a lot of risks they're completely oblivious of, like traveling to some potentially dangerous cities or neighborhoods, going to the wrong parties, visiting the wrong people and getting caught in the middle of their crimes, mingling with the wrong people in the name of trying to make friends etc. Depending on the person's age, some mistakes are difficult or impossible to fix, like going to jail, getting scammed of life savings, getting lured into some trafficking or drug related crime or addiction, getting kidnapped or even murdered.

In summary, it has potential good and bad depending on the destination and other factors that should be carefully considered before making such a decision

as much as you should learn a little about the country, before you get there, you need to understand that in this world, you have to make your own mind, follow your own path, write your own history AND take chances....and if you only believe the negativity you read, then you might as well stay in your bedroom and lock yourself up, because there will be some negative stuff written about EVERY SINGLE PLACE ON EARTH... you would say:" i wanna go to Paris, NY. Sydney or Tokyo, and someone out there will tell you that its dangerous bla bla bla, its bad bla bla bla, dont go there bla bla bla. at the end of the day, do what makes you happy in your life because nobody else is gonna live "your" life.

BTW there are plenty of people who go to Nigeria with an open mind, discover the country fully from east to west/south and nothing ever happened to them....so as much as people should be careful in life (everywhere), it certainly shouldnt be a reason to stop going ANYWHERE in this world.

Hello! I travel a lot and I really like it, I plan to visit Miami since I have never been there before. I found a company whose services I want to use www.clicktraveltips.com because there are only positive reviews about it. Choosing a holiday destination isn't always easy. After all, there are so many amazing locations around the world to pick between and not enough time to see them all! Even within the US, there are all sorts of wonderful places you can go. From the bright lights of Las Vegas to the natural beauty of the Rockies, there's a place to suit every type of traveler. One city that should definitely be on your list of destinations to visit is Miami, Florida.
