Along the way, I’ve been to some interesting places, including the DMZ, Check Point Charlie, and the Conch Republic. While none of these places “counts” as a country, they hold a special place in my travels. While reminiscing about my travels, it was fun researching all the unexpected places to get your passport stamped for Cheapflights.com. I found some unexpected places, including micronations (entities that claim to be independent nations or states, but are not officially recognized by governments or organizations like the United States), tiny nation-states and countries, and historical sights where you can get a souvenir stamp.
While working on a story for Cheapflights.com, I had the chance to see New York City from a whole new angle: via helicopter. My eight-minute trip began downtown and included a flyover of the Statue of Liberty and bird’s eye views of the Big Apple. My recent helicopter tour of New York City was my second helicopter ride. The 20-minute helicopter ride soared over snow-covered mountains and a heart-pounding landing on a remote glacier.
