More and more people are making money online. This means that they no longer need to live in dirty, noisy, cold and overly expensive metropolitan areas.

If your job is to sit at the computer all day, then you most likely no longer need to live and work where you have achieved some success.

There is a stifling atmosphere in Moscow, in Kiev it is now unsafe, in New York or London it is very expensive. Ideal places to live are usually found where they are not looked for at all.

Here are ten heavenly places on earth that are perfect for starting a new life. A life in which you will work on the Internet and relax in an incredibly beautiful and cozy environment.

1. Avarua, Cook Islands

Formally, these islands are part of New Zealand, but from this archipelago they are located 2008 km to the northeast. Local tropical beaches are not inferior to the Maldives or Seychelles, only housing here can be rented for $ 130 per month.

The locals are Polynesian aborigines and are not spoiled by tourists at all. No more than 100 thousand foreigners come here annually. For comparison: Hawaii attracts 8 million tourists a year.

What can you do here? Watch whales, go hiking, enjoy the incredible scenery.

So what's the catch? Foreigners cannot buy property on the island. But they can rent it for 60 years. To become a full-fledged citizen of this planet, you will have to live here for several years and obtain special permission from the authorities.

2. Cesky Krumlov, Czech Republic

This fabulous town is located in the Czech province of Bohemia. The whole city is like one huge medieval castle. All streets in it are cobbled. It regularly hosts Renaissance-style fairs and the incomparable Rose Festival. A three-course lunch for two here costs $ 20 all year round, and an apartment can be rented for $ 400 a month. And then there is the Vltava River - an ideal playground for rafting enthusiasts.

The only catch is that for a normal life here you will have to learn at least a little Czech.

3. Koh Tonsai, Cambodia

It is a small island in the south of Cambodia. A real paradise of jungle and beaches. Almost nobody lives here, except for a few fishing families. So it will be possible to find a suitable bungalow here for ridiculous money.

Here you can relax on the beach or explore the local jungle cave. For five bucks, local fishermen will cook a delicious dinner from the crab they have caught right in front of you. And any other seafood here costs a dollar or two.

What's the catch? Well, this is not a "childish" clean beach island where you will lie under an umbrella all day long. The wild local beach is sometimes adorned with packs of stray dogs or other forest dwellers. But only here you can feel how far away you are from civilization.

4. Guanajuato, Mexico

Right in the middle of Mexico lies the classy, ​​culturally vibrant city of Guanajuato. A great apartment here can be rented for $ 150-200 a month, a glass of beer at a bar costs less than $ 1, and a movie ticket costs a measly $ 3.

Ray Bradbury wrote the story "Next in Line" about his experience of living here. It also hosts the famous art festival called Cervantino. He was named after the author of the novel about Don Quixote.

5. Pearl Islands, Panama

30 kilometers west of mainland Panama lies an amazing archipelago in the Pacific Ocean. Once upon a time, a huge amount of pearls were mined here. There was a time when the most powerful pirates hid here from the authorities. Now this place is home to great resorts for the locals.

You can rent a house on the beach here for only $ 300 per month. An ideal place for self-imposed exile.

By the way, three seasons of Lost were filmed here. So the places in terms of scenic beauty are some of the most impressive on the planet.

6. Beaches of Agonda, Goa, India

The southern part of the Goa coast is a place that allows you to ride elephants right on the beach. You can buy a bottle of wine here for $ 0.5, a haircut for $ 0.6, and rent a shack on the seashore for $ 120 a month. Seriously, what else do you want?

This part of Goa is quite deserted, and the locals are not as spoiled by tourists as in the other part of the Indian coast. And in Agonda, there are almost no hippies with their goofy plastic glasses. But there are a large number of temples and places for yoga.

7. Veliko Tarnovo, Bulgaria

This place is located in the valley of the river of the same name in the northern part of Bulgaria. This is the best Riviera on the Black Sea coast. It's as beautiful here as it is in France, but a bottle of beer only costs $ 0.80. The population is only 200 thousand people.

Interestingly, this city has seen the rise and fall of at least half a dozen world empires. And here you can rent an apartment for only $ 200 a month. The only drawback is the relatively poorly developed infrastructure.

8. Ho Kok Beach, Vietnam

The southeast coast of Vietnam is famous for the fact that there are 11 thousand hectares of rainforest. And this is perhaps the best place in Asia for diving and spearfishing: there is a huge barrier reef here. And here it is free of tourists even on weekends.

Therefore, you can find housing here for $ 150-200 per month. True, you will have to live here in close contact with local residents. Get ready for them to share beach spots with you.

9. Ksamil Beach, Albania

The southern tip of Albania is the ideal place for a quiet life. Nearby is a small town and Butrint National Park. The climate is Mediterranean, local products are olive oil and tangerines. Unlike neighboring Greece, Italy or even Croatia, it is very cheap here: beer costs 90 cents per bottle, housing - $ 100-120 per month.

Eat seafood (30 types of fish are sold here, the average cost of a dish in a cafe is $ 6), drink cheap wine ($ 6 per bottle), ride catamarans and you will find that there will be no more tourists here in five years.

10. Las Trancas, Chile

It is home to some of the best mountain slopes in South America. The Andes, after all. You can ski here all year round, and rental housing will cost only $ 300 per month. Wealthy tourists live on the slopes of the mountains, and experienced tourists live in the villages at their foot.

There is only one problem:it is almost always winter here. But someone loves her, right? published by

Our planet has many worthy places that you should definitely visit. I already wrote about some of them a couple of months ago. However, then it was about the most famous places, which, despite their originality, are well known and popular to everyone. Today we will focus on those parts of the planet, most of which are incredibly difficult to get to.

Kasha-Katuve cliffs

This unusual rock formation is located in New Mexico and was created by nature about seven million years ago. Volcanic ash, erosion and weathering have led to the formation of such unusual tent mountains.

An unusual creation of the nature of the Kasha-Katuve rock

The rocks have a rather interesting altitude variety, which rises to thirty meters in height with pointed peaks like tourist tents or Indian wigwams. This formation of Kasha-Katuve got its name from the area in which they are located and in translation they sound like "White Rocks".

Volcanoes are those natural formations that always attract thrill seekers. However, it is they that are one of the most inaccessible places on earth, and if you add the difficult Antarctic climate to such a place, it turns out that the ice towers and caves of Erebus are an unattainable dream for most tourists.

The icy splendor of Erebus volcano

At the same time, the most interesting tourist destination is not even the peaks of the Erebus volcano, which rise 4 kilometers upward, but the volcano's lava lake and ice caves on its slopes. The lava in this lake is unique and cannot be found anywhere else in the world.

In addition to caves, one of the most interesting phenomena is the ice chimneys on the slopes of the volcano. They are formed in the process of the release of warm air vapors from underground caves, which, in contact with the forty-degree frosty Antarctic climate, build up these chimneys.

Ice chimneys - the splendor of Erebus volcano

Philippine eighth wonder of the world - rice terraces

Twenty years ago, this man-made beauty of human hands was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. And now rice terraces are a vivid example of how nature helps a person with due respect for it from this very person.

The eighth wonder of the world - Banaue rice terraces

Some of Banaue's rice terraces are believed to be about six thousand years old. The most interesting thing about them is not even that their total area is more than 10,000 square kilometers, and if they could be located close to each other, they would occupy half of the globe, but that they are all man-made and completely made by hand.

Another interesting feature of this most interesting place on earth is the original irrigation system - fresh water enters the terraces using ancient irrigation methods directly from the tropical forests that are located higher in the mountains. And if you take into account the fact that all Banaue rice terraces were created at an altitude of one and a half kilometers, then they can definitely be safely equated to a new wonder of the world.

Wonder of the world with a thousand-year history

Moreover, all these terraces not only do not disfigure the Philippine Cordilleras, but, on the contrary, Tosno repeat all their bends, emphasizing the splendor and beauty of the majestic mountain ranges. This miracle now attracts thousands of tourists who want to look not only at the delicate greenery of rice plantations, but to follow the work of local residents still growing rice according to the behests of an ancient tribe of rice growers.

Lena Pillars - a monument of wild and majestic nature

This unique natural formation is located in Yakutia along the banks of the majestic Siberian Lena River. Along the many kilometers on the coastline, they look down on all the upwardly elongated rocks, called the Lena Pillars. Now the Lena Pillars are not just unusual mountain formations, but a whole natural park that stretches along the Lena River for as much as 200 kilometers.

Lena Pillars - a monument of the Cambrian era

Unusual park of early Cambrian sediments

It should be noted that not only the beauty and monumentality of the Pillars is unique, but also their geological structure, which belongs to the early Cambrian period in the history of the development of the Earth. At this time, the first skeletal animals appeared on our planet, and it was in the rocks of the Lena Pillars that scientists discovered the burial of representatives of numerous mammoth species and the imprints of such a unique sample of the Cambrian fauna as epiphyton algae.

Horseshoe caldera in Scotland

The Glencoe Valley, which is located in the northern part of Great Britain, is considered to be one of the most picturesque and memorable places on the British Isles. It stretches for 16 kilometers in the mouth of the oldest volcano and has unique monuments of nature and history.

The British come here for the stunning variety of flora that cuts the river valley with clear waters and magnificent mountain peaks. The splendor of nature and silence - what else is needed for a good outdoor recreation and getting away from civilization.

It is the mountains that attract mountaineering and alpine skiing here. In addition, this place is notorious for its events of four centuries ago, during which the Jacobin uprising was brutally suppressed on the slopes of the valley. Recent events have given rise to another name for the valley - "Valley of Tears".

The enchanting beauty of the Glencoe Valley

Interesting place - Indian Park "Valley of Flowers"

The Valley of Flowers National Park is located along the western slopes of the Himalayas on an area of ​​90 square kilometers. At the same time, the valley of flowers itself, which gave the name to the park, is only a fifth.

At an altitude of 3.5-4 kilometers above sea level, you can see a site eight kilometers long and two latitudinal. It is here that you can observe a unique natural phenomenon - about six hundred representatives of the alpine, subalpine and alpine fauna grow in the protected area of ​​the valley. Moreover, some of their representatives, such as the blue poppy or the Himalayan maple, can be seen only in this valley.

Unique flower "Valley of Flowers" - blue poppy

In this interesting place on earth, you can enjoy the natural beauty of the Alpine meadows, and it is especially interesting to go to the "Valley of Flowers" during the monsoon season, when it is completely transformed and takes on a special flavor. At this time, it is covered with a wide variety of flowers, the total number of species of which is more than five hundred types.

Desert miracle of the USA - Lechugia cave

There is an amazing creation of nature in the USA. Of course, there are many places in the world where nature has created bizarre underground passages, but Lechugia stands out from ordinary caves with its gigantic volumes. It is already safe to say that this cave is the deepest on the American continent. The cave goes down into the ground down to a depth of 500 meters, and the total length of its underground passages exceeds 150 kilometers.

It is especially worth noting the ecosystem of the cave - it is "thanks" to it that there are no usual routes for tourists in Lechug, and only researchers are allowed to enter the underground. This ecosystem is unique in that in the underground passages and grottoes of the cave there is a special world that is practically completely isolated from the outside world, sunlight and everything that is on the surface of the Earth.

Moreover, during the research it turned out that some inhabitants of the underworld literally eat through the vaults of the cave. For them, the chemical elements contained there are a source of energy that allows them to exist.

Another interesting fact. Before the discovery of this cave 30 years ago, the world in it was literally mothballed for almost a hundred million years.

Krubera-Voronya cave - a fast way to the bowels of the earth

There is a cave in Abkhazia, which is considered the deepest in the world today. Now it is reliably known that the depth of this cave extends for almost two kilometers. And although there is no "direct exit" to the underground kingdom, unlike the Lechugia cave, since its height is located in the mountains at the level of 2256 meters, the path itself, which is more than two kilometers long, is in itself a unique natural phenomenon.

The cave was discovered more than fifty years ago in the area of ​​the Orto-Balagan tract, and for a long time it was considered superficial with a depth of up to one hundred meters. Until it was investigated by numerous expeditions, each of which, having reached the mark of 210, 340, 710 meters, did not announce the end of the length of the passages. All this continued until seven years ago, a group of cavers managed to reach a depth of 2196 meters.

This cave has its second nickname. Due to the large number of crows nesting there, it is also called the Crow. Moreover, unlike the aforementioned Lechugia, this cave has many tourist routes and anyone can admire its beauty.

Fairy land of elves - Plitvice Lakes

In the central part of Croatia, there is a beautiful oasis with "devil's forests" and a complex of lakes and waterfalls that create a truly fabulous landscape. On the territory of this alpine valley, as many as 16 lakes with fantastically blue water and magnificent rustling waterfalls have formed.

The territory of this reserve is divided into two parts with upper and lower lakes, connected by magnificent cascades of waterfalls. Moreover, no one knows the exact number of these waterfalls, since nature creates new cascades every year.

All this happens due to complete non-interference in the ecosystem of lakes and all sticks and branches that fall into the water are never removed from it, and subsequently, under the influence of limestone, they petrify and become a barrier in the path of water, forming a new cascade of waterfalls. This amount of limestone not only forms bizarre build-ups and calcium deposits, but gives the water a delightful blue appearance with a greenish tint.

At the junction of two Latin American countries - Brazil and Argentina, nature has created real beauty - the cascade of the Iguazu Falls. This system of 275 small and large waterfalls, which stretches for three kilometers, is considered the most powerful in the world. The largest waterfall was nicknamed by the Spanish conquistadors the Devil's Throat for its power and unusual shape in the shape of the letter U.

The greatness of the waterfall is fully revealed during the rainy season from November to March, when the water flow is so large that the rate of its discharge reaches thirteen thousand cubic meters of water per second.

P.S.... All those who liked this article will also like the article about, which was the discoverer in the TOP-10 heading.

Sometimes it’s impossible to choose the best place for a person’s life right away, it’s not such an easy task. To deal with this time and, experts from International Living researched 192 countries and compiled under the title "The best climate on Earth". According to these data, the mildest climate on planet Earth is in Zimbabwe and Malta.

The British Economist Intelligence Unit conducted its own research and compiled a rating of the most comfortable cities in the world. The last place in it was taken by the capital of Zimbabwe, the city of Harare. Dhaka in Bangladesh, Lagos in Nigeria, Port Moresby in Papua New Guinea are next in the lowest place. In total, 140 countries are represented in the ranking. The first place was taken by Melbourne in Australia, the second - Vienna in Austria, - Vancouver in Canada.

Which places are "right"

Sea air is very beneficial for the body. It is free from harmful impurities, ozonized and absorbs emissions. The best climate is reasonably considered to be moderately continental, since there are no sharp drops in average annual and daily average temperatures. Because of this, the highest life expectancy is observed in Japan, Sweden, Switzerland and Finland.

However, there are several paradoxes in modern gerontology. For example, scientists are plunged into a stupor by the harsh climate of Yakutia. It is extreme for humans, but the life expectancy of people living here is the highest in Russia.

Conclusion

Netherlands

The rating with the most beautiful places on the planet is opened by an amazing place located in the western part of the Netherlands. We are talking about picturesque tulip fields. These are not just gardens, we are talking about plantations, seas of flowers that embody a real riot of colors. Being in this state from April to May, you just need to visit the flowering gardens of the western part of the country. However, in summer there is something to see here, because tulips replace gladioli.

The Grand Canyon is one of the deepest and most beautiful places in the world. Located in the state of Arizona, on the Colorado plateau. We are talking about the amazing territory of the national park, the beauty of which can only be appreciated with the help of a helicopter. It is an Indian reservation. It is believed that representatives of the Navajo and other tribes lived in this place for a long time. The Grand Canyon attracts not only with its beauty, size and history. It attracts many businessmen with its mysteriousness. To understand what is at stake, you need to see this miracle of nature from above.

Do you know the name of the most beautiful national park in the world? Its name is Cinque Terre, and this amazing place is located in Italy. Namely in the east of the Riviera. We are not just talking about charms and history, everything here is saturated with the spirit of the Middle Ages in Italy. In total, there are five small but beautiful villages on the territory of this place. Their architecture is distinguished by the presence of protected buildings reminiscent of the times of freedom-loving pirates. A romantic place will appeal to all connoisseurs of classic Italian romance.

It would be unfair to create the Top 10 Most Beautiful Places on Earth without mentioning at least one Chinese field. The rice field in the mountains of Yunnan province is the most striking and beautiful. Just imagine ten-kilometer terraces that follow the curves of the terrain exactly to the centimeters. The Chinese have developed culture for thousands of years and have achieved incredible success in this craft. Seeing their rice paddies from above is worth a lot. Their white plantations reflect the sun's rays and represent the power of China's agricultural artisans.

Croatia

We have already found out which lake is the most powerful on the territory of Russia. By no means in this rating we are talking exclusively about the beauty of different places in the world. For this reason, it is necessary to highlight the Plitvice Lakes of Croatia, which attract with their amazing color and mystery. They are located in the territory of the national park. Covered in intangible and boundless thickets. They are extremely difficult to pass, so you can appreciate all the beauty only from above. Locals call the thickets the devil's forest.

We will not consider all the sights of the planet included in the list of the so-called 7 wonders of the world. We are considering exclusively the most beautiful places, among which the Valley of the Ten Peaks - Canada must be included. This Canadian place epitomizes a harsh yet inviting nature. Its icy beauty creates a unique world located at the foot of the great mountains called Vekcemna. Nearby is the pearl of the national park - a lake called Moraine.

In the north of Arizona there is a place of amazing beauty, a geological object, which is justifiably called the pride of the American people. This is a place where the ancient Navajo Indians used to live. The unique park embodies a huge complex of rocks, standing against the backdrop of a strict and frightening desert landscape. We are talking about the Colorado plateau again. This zone is not just one of the favorite among tourists. By the way, the plateau harbors many amazing stories about cowboys.

Continuing the theme of the beautiful and rocky places in the world, it is necessary to highlight the Colored Zhangye located in China. The rock complex is believed to have formed during the Cretaceous period. We are talking about beautiful rocks, which are painted in very variegated shades. The miracle of nature is located in the famous province of China - Gansu. In the photo you can see an abundance of colors. However, the red sandworm really predominates. You may not even notice this in the images. When you are near the province, be sure to try to see the striking mountain scenery.
