Top 5 Cowboy Towns

Who said that you can’t find towns with real Cowboys? We have found towns where you'll surely find guys like Sam Elliott in the Big Lebowski, only instead of living in a big city they are right at home.
The spirit of Wild West is alive and well at the following Cowboy towns.

1. Deadwood, South Dakota
First featured in our top 5 list is Deadwood of South Dakota. Names synonymous with the Old West like Wyatt Earp, “Wild Bill” Hickok and Calamity, have ties to Deadwood.
There's much more to Deadwood's history than Hollywood portrays.

One of the best videos you will ever see about Paris!

Kirill Neiezhmakov decided to take things a step further, leaving time-lapse behind and starting to utilise the powers of hyper-lapse. In this film you'll be able to explore Paris and its little earthly wonders through a different technique, one that has been hardly used. Click the fullscreen option and enjoy a magical trip to the city of light!

Honestly, creating a list of just 10 Museums worth of visiting around the world is way more difficult than one may think. There are many museums that didn't make the list but are still very fascinating and interesting.

The Hobbit Bar in New Zealand!

If you are one of the many Lord of the Rings fans, this is probably the best destination for you to visit, just to feel that you belong in the magic world of the Hobbits! Frodo and Sam might not be there, but you'll get to imagine how would that bar feel like if Hobbits were around you!


The Green Dragon Pub is situated in New Zealand and it is close to the actual Hobbiton near Matamata, which is the actual place where the movies were filmed. The pub was designed by Brian Massey who led an army of 80 workers who built and decorated the pub and the nearby area.
