Suriname, South America Suriname sits in a little-known corner of the world, but it is not forgotten. Located in the eastern foothills of South America, it was once a Dutch colony, a multi-ethnic melting pot where native cultures influenced each other with those of Great Britain, the Netherlands, China, India and Indonesia. The capital, Paramaribo, still has some well-preserved buildings from the Dutch colonial period, but it is the conservation of natural resources that is the country's greatest treasure, with the Raleighvallen Nature Reserve and Brownsberg Nature Reserve famous for their abundance of birdlife. Suriname borders the obscure Guyana and French Guiana, and is the last border anyone traveling to South America can visit.
Sao Tome and Principe This small African country consists of two small, secluded islands where everything is different from Africa. Even though the country's charm is well known, few people travel here. There are dozens of kilometers of deserted beaches, crystal blue seas, mysterious diving, interlocking rock formations, and lush tropical rainforests. There is also a laid-back life here, lazing in cafes with a cup of coffee, a taste of fresh fruit, and some seafood to spice things up!
Comoros, Africa During the glorious sea voyages of yesteryear, the Comoros was a stopover for voyages reaching the Cape of Good Hope in Africa. The weather is hazy at the Suez Canal and there are only about 2,5000 visitors at this time of year. Close to the Seychelles Islands and the smoke of the Mauritian cooking, the Comorians live a typical idyllic life. However, it was once fragmented and took 20 coups before gaining independence from France in 1975.
Togo, Africa Togo is already familiar and desirable to travelers who want to visit the western countries of Africa. The capital, Lomé, is fronted by the Atlantic Ocean and faces a strip of beaches and palm trees, but the rest of Togo stretches inland through deep valleys and mountains, gradually disappearing into the vast savannah. Togo can be a paradise for everyone, you can windsurf on the Togo Lake and pick up the medicine of the Buddhists, like monkey testicles and animal skulls, among others.
Nauru, Pacific Ocean Once upon a time, Nauru, a small potato-shaped island, ranked as the richest country in the world per capita. People earned money from phosphate deposits. Today, however, the phosphates have long since disappeared and the mines have long been deserted. But the locals still retain their lazy lifestyle, playing Australian rugby and singing the unique tunes of the Pacific Islanders. The denuded landscape of Nauru always provokes melancholy poetry - the island's land resembles the surface of the moon, rugged and barren, with a few sheer standing cliffs, gusty winds lifting the surface and swooping seabirds.
Niue Island, Pacific Ocean Niue is 600 kilometers from its nearest neighbor, the island is rarely visited by tourists, there are only two inbound flights per week (from Auckland, New Zealand, Apia and Samoa), and there are few beaches here, so it's not your ideal Pacific paradise beach. But this has many exotic caves through Vaikona and Togo. Since there are no rivers entering the sea on the island, visibility for divers is different than usual.
Kuwait, Middle East Kuwait is well known for being invaded. Few tourists put it on their travel schedules, perhaps because Kuwait is the only overland crossroads between Iraq and Saudi Arabia, so accessing it by land is nearly impossible. Air access is also not very convenient, unless you like the flashing lights of Middle Eastern shopping malls. Away from Kuwait City, you can ascend to 145 meters from the highest point of the Jahra Mountains, or take a trip to the outskirts of Madi, where Kuwait's oil industry originated.
Belarus Compared to other former Soviet states that are inundated with tourists, Belarus can only be watched. The last dictator of Europe has fallen, and if you want to remember the former Soviet Union, Belarus is here to tell you about it. The capital of Belarus, Minsk, was destroyed in World War II and then rebuilt according to Stalin's blueprints. Speaking of magnificent natural wonders, Belavezhskaja Natural Park is the largest primeval forest in Europe. It is the largest primary forest in Europe, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and home to the largest mammal on the continent, the North American bison.
Kyrgyzstan When it comes to mountainous countries, Nepal, Peru and Canada are the most popular. Kyrgyzstan will undoubtedly be overlooked. But this former Soviet republic has the highest and most majestic mountains in Central Asia, with the highest altitude of 7,500 meters. The downside is that, apart from that, Kyrgyzstan has nothing else, few resources and poor tourist facilities. The upside is that most travelers head directly to the relatively developed Issyk-Kul Lake, the second highest lake in the world and the starting point for beginning the arduous trek.
