Mission and goals
We highlight unique places, including lesser-known ones
We want to discover places that hide extraordinary beauty and can enchant visitors. In doing so, we remember that even in a small village, seemingly inconspicuous, magical locations can be found. So it's not always worth just following the crowd, focusing only on the most popular destinations. Look for unique places right next door!
We reward passionate individuals who explore the world
Faraway travels or places just a few kilometers away? Often even the closest neighborhood is full of places with a rich history, showcasing local culture and tradition, as well as featuring unique natural features that can prove to be of great interest. Travel, develop, build your profile on the portal and win prizes!
