Sometimes it seems that there is nothing new on our planet anymore; everything is done and said we believe that nothing will manage to amaze us. On the other hand, this century has brought us not so pleasant surprises and we even came to think that it would be better if the world stopped surprising us. However, deep down, we always want to find something new, something to discover, explore and talk about.
Monotony often makes us stop paying attention to what is around us and therefore, we do not notice those little wonders hidden in plain sight. It’s just a matter of opening your eyes wide and concentrating, and incredible things will appear in front of us as if by magic.
Many of these things may seem ordinary to you because you are used to them. But there will always be another person for whom it is the most wonderful thing they have seen in their life. That is why even if it is simple for you, do not doubt that for someone else it will be a nice surprise.
Next we want to show you some things around the world that can be incredible. They are an attempt to show that surprises are everywhere, closer to us than we imagine.
