Ghost Towns don’t only look pretty on James Bond’s movies, they look even much better once you get to see them. Sure thing they are kind of creepy and sometimes dangerous. And as much as we don’t advice a fortnight holiday at Prypiat or a lazy stay at Kowloon, we strongly encourage to get to know the amazing stories of the deserted towns round the world. They’ve all been abondoned for different reasons but whenever you visit one you will fell like you can hear those stories being told by crumbling walls and things and memories left in a hurry. Enjoy might not be the word, but just take a trip down those creepy towns and explore the other side of the human history.

19. Travel World Passport has been created by people hungry to discover the world. We have formed a web framework to
save travel memories. It was born out of continuous search for inspiration. While we appreciate the satisfaction
exploration brings, we have a strong conviction that the when looking for true inspiration, we often found it difficult
information available online was scattered and often inaccessible.
The most valuable and remarkable travel inspiration and information is available on travel blogs, but for those who do not
follow them on a regular basis it is hard to keep track of. Our mission is now to gather the most valuable, relevant and
useful travel content in one place, where it is indexed and easily searchable.
So for those, who are not satisfied with the way travel content is being presented online our product is a web framework
to save and digest travel information around the stories of real travelers. It provides the necessary inspiration and
contains information to start your journey. Our belief is that travel is about the feeling and the experiences, not the place.
Those thoughts and believes are reflected in all the aspects of our work. And that feeling inspires us to be free, travel and
do great things. We hope it will inspire you, too.
