I love visiting them and see them everywhere I go. It is not about religion for me, it is about the experience and the history. I just visited some in Istanbul and I was in awe! Also, visited a few in Jordan last month and also loved it.

The Hippie Market on the weekends is always fun for me. There is always paragliding in Sao Conrado. I did it once and it was memorable. Scary but memorable.
