Who doesn’t like a top 10? While they tend to be as divisive as they are informative there is something about a well considered ‘best of’ list that helps inform and excite the reader. We hope our adventure travel top 10s and lists of the best action sports will inspire you!
Of course not every top 10 is a list of 10. They can be everything from a quickfire best 3, to a top 100, plus of course everything between. Many of the top 10s on AWE365 tend to be non-round numbers, for example a 17, 23 or 31.
This is because we don’t write to a word count or falsely fill up spots for the sake of it. We want any ‘best of’ to reflect the actual best, so if that can’t be constrained into a nice round number then so be it.
Hopefully this means that our adventure travel top 10s and lists of the best action sports will inspire you. We always aim to deliver what the title promises, so you know any top 10 on AWE365 will at the very least give you plenty to think about.
