Top 10 Backpacking Destinations from Off Track Planet

OTP has some gems on this list. But if you don't want to read the whole thing, here's the cryptic summary:

Chiapas (Most Ruined)
Turin (Sweetest)
Lake Tuz, Turkey (Saltiest)
Bucharest (Most Cosmopolitan)
Interlaken (Most Extreme Adventure)
Dakar (Best of Both Worlds)
Big Corn Island, Nicaragua (Broke Fanciest)
Chicova, Moldova (Most Boozerific)
Ushuaia, Argentina (Most Remote)
Zagreb (Best Overall)

Other than Chiapas, Turin, Bucharest and Zagreb, these destinations are new to us. OTP's take on Dakar make it sound like a pretty swinging place. Who knew? (OK, I'm out the loop, you've known for years!) And Moldavia is the world's 7th largest wine producer?

Anyhoo, it's an interesting list and read.  And if you do find yourself in Zagreb, please look up an old pal of ours, Nik Orosi. He'll pour you the best cup of coffee in the Balkans.
