One of the greatest luxuries in life is being able to travel. In addition to getting away from the daily grind of regular life, responsibilities, and a break from your job, it can also broaden your horizons, boost your confidence, improve language and communication skills, all while giving you real-life education, exposing you to new and exciting things, and creating memories you’ll have for the rest of your life. As many of us are trying to embrace experiences rather than live mundane lives, the travel itch and a sense of wanderlust is exciting and fun to add to our bucket lists. Writer Ray Bradbury said, “Stuff your eyes with wonder, he said, live as if you’d drop dead in ten seconds. See the world. It’s more fantastic than any dream made or paid for in factories.”

While many people have backpacked through Europe, Disney, or even a safari in Africa on their travel wish lists, these trips come at a hefty price tag. Whenever I rent Corpus Christi party buses and travel anywhere, whether it’s a big trip, or a road trip close by, I love to research unusual and exciting places to visit. These small detours can become the best part of a road trip, or stop off on a lengthier journey. Let’s take a look at 15 strange towns everyone should try and visit at least once; some of them are a lot closer to home than you may think!
15 Elista AKA Chess City
Obsessed with Chess? Looking for the perfect vacation destination to take your chess champion partner? Do we have the perfect destination for you! This Russian town was designed by a person who had quite a penchant for the game, and the entire town is themed after chess. There is a giant chessboard in the town center, and the town hosted the 1998 Chess Olympiad in a domed complex. In addition to a love of chess, Elista is the only Buddhist region in Europe. To marry chess and Buddhism together the town’s chess complex is also home to a Buddhist Art Museum.
14 Thames Town – China
Visiting China and homesick for Britain? They’ve got you covered. Thames Town is a synthetic ‘British’ city located in Songjiang, China. Features of Thames Town include traditional British architecture, food, and a bunch of English phone booths to pose in. The streets are, naturally, paved in cobblestones and you can enjoy a pint of stout at the pub, or pose in front of statues of famous Brits like James Bond and Harry Potter. In addition to regular tourism, the town is really popular for wedding photography.
