Traveling is a great way to see the world around us, and everyone should experience it at least once in your life. As crazy as it may sound, there are people in the world who have never left the city or town where they were born in and are actually okay with it.
Then, there are some of us who love to travel, and adventure is only a road trip or flight away. For those of you who enjoy traveling, what were the reasons you traveled to certain destinations? Some people travel for family reunions or weddings, while others travel for competitive league sports. Those are some typical reasons why people travel.
There’s absolutely nothing wrong with traveling for those occasions, but do you know people who have traveled for reasons that were strange to you? We can’t judge people for their reasons for traveling to certain places, but it sure will make you scratch your head sometimes. Take a look at some of the strange reasons why people travel… and remember, no judging!
Haunted Houses
I don’t know what it is about haunted houses that make people actually want to go visit them. You know, it’s one thing to be able to see them in movies and on television shows, but to go inside one… that makes people question your sanity!
The stories behind some of these haunted houses are pretty interesting, to say the least. With a lot of the legends of these eerie homes, the people who haunt the houses more than likely died in that house. Their deaths typically are very violent and gruesome.
Based off the ghost hunting shows, you’re experiencing a spirit, or ghost, if the temperature drops, see items moving by itself, or if you see an image that looks like a person, but there’s no one else with you. Traveling to experience something as bone-chilling as that is what some people live for, oddly enough. Some even travel to haunted bed and breakfast locations just to be able to spend the night, in hopes of experiencing something paranormal… would you travel for that kind of experience?
UFO Sightings
Some people are avid believers that there are living beings out there besides humans, and they travel specifically for that reason. There are UFO sighting locations in the U.S. and there are locations outside the country, but regardless of the location, it doesn’t stop the UFO hunters.
A lot of times, these people on the hunt for little green men will pick a location to set up camp, and pull out their telescope and stare at the stars all night! Camping is usually thought of as a romantic type of activity amongst couples, but when it comes to hunting UFOs… it’s strictly business!
Celebrity Stalking
Many of us have celebrities that we absolutely love, and the thought of meeting them would put us into a coma. This is not the same as going to a concert and hoping to see your idol before the show as they make their way to the stage… no this is a little more intense. There are people so obsessed with their favorite celebs that they take whatever means necessary just to get a quick glimpse of them.
Some of the hot spots where celebrities are known for being seen is in Los Angeles, CA, Atlanta, GA, and New York City. These crazed fans will check their social media and do some investigative work to see where their beloved “best friends” are.
Lots of celebrities have Instagram accounts and are very active on their accounts. These celebrities will post pictures with their locations tagged in the pictures, giving fans the perfect opportunity to try and get a glimpse of their idols. It sounds a little weird for people to travel in hopes of seeing their favorite celebrities, but in their minds, it’s perfectly normal!
