TODAY's Travel Editor, Peter Greenberg, recently wrote about places which most of us have overlooked. One of those which caught his eye and interest was Greenland, the largest island in the world.

Greenland - which lies within the arctic circle - is part of the Kingdom of Denmark, thanks to the Vikings' 10th century explorations.

Read Greenberg's account of his Greenland travel experience and you might be enticed to check this not so common travel destination.

Need more reasons? Here they are... The Top 7 Reasons Why You Should Consider Travelling to Greenland:

• Whichever season you choose to go, you would be spared of the peak season travel crowds. After all, it's the biggest island with the lowest density of people.
• Even if you go during the height of Greenland's summer, you will never feel hot. During its warmest month, the average temperature only goes up to 5C. An advantage for those who hate it when it gets too warm.
• Bacteria cannot survive in Greenland due to the severe climate. And IF you happen to get sick despite this fact, health care is free for everyone.
• Happy-go-lucky people inhabit this country. They do not worry and are very friendly.
• Jails don't exist. Which means that crime rate is very low, if there is even any.
• No traffic. "There are only 45 cars for every 1000 people and 4 traffic lights in the whole country.
• "
• It's a dog-lovers haven. Ratio of dog is 1 for every 2 persons.
• The Aurora Borealis. Need I say more?

So... are you now ready to, as Greenberg puts it, travel outside the box?
