Wanderlust is one of the most natural traits known to man. There is something innate in our nature that makes us roam from one place to another, always appreciating the things that come next. On the other hand, there are people whose love for travel matches only that for exercise. Luckily, there’s always a way for these two passions to be united into one. With this in mind, here are top five destinations for all of you exercise junkies out there.
