great list and wonderful photos!

Exactly! "Art of Travel"[1] is one of those websites. When I read that website I was impressed how lovingly it was put together. The overall experience was so good that I didn't ev…

I thought about creating something very similar for years but never began actually working on it. Chances are, many people were thinking about building such a platform during the l…

This reminds me of the Coué method: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%89mile_Cou%C3%A9#The_Cou.C3... I noticed this pattern too, but doubt that it is healthy. It might help reaching…
