Dispatches from the world's weirdest corners

The World is Weirder Than You Think.

We go to the places your travel agent has never heard of — and probably wouldn't recommend.

Where to begin

Pick Your Flavor of Weird

From tomato-soaked streets to cheese-chasing hillsides, these festivals make Mardi Gras look tame.

Mustard. Lawnmowers. Bad art. Someone built a museum for it. We went.

Eating in total darkness. Served by robots. Suspended 150 feet in the air. Bon appétit.

Giant balls of twine. Cars buried in fields. Gravity that doesn't work. The best road trips are built around these.

Fresh dispatches

Over 5,000 mustard jars. One very committed curator. Zero regrets.

La Tomatina: the world's messiest party, explained.

No phones. No light. Just you, your food, and your imagination.
