What Makes A Destination Worth Stopping?

If I traveled from across the world, and only saw this destination, would it have been worth it?

If yes, it's Worth Stopping.
If it's something I want to see, but wouldn't travel to see unless I was in the area, then it's just a local attraction

I like fancy rocks, moving water, rollercoasters, massive industrial equipment, history, and ruins. This strongly influences my decisions.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Why Are Your Descriptions So Aggressive?

It's not enough for me to tell you why some place is interesting, I have to sell you why. I am an aggressive salesperson.

Why Did You Not Include That Place I Like In Worth Stopping?

These locations are curated to my standards, not everyone's standards. There's also a chance I missed it.

Why Did You Include THAT Place?

Much like a car crash, a location can be so appalling that it is spectacular.

You seem biased?

I write from a car-loving Americentric perspective - because I'm an American from the Motor City (Detroit metropolitan area).

Can people pay to include locations on Worth Stopping?

No. This website should stand on its merits and so should any locations that other wish to be included.
