Love to Travel? Love to Poop? Then These 12 Destination Toilets Are For You

Toilets are an often-overlooked, but vital part of visiting any far-away locale. Anyone who's needed to spray the porcelain in the middle of Times Square knows that finding a proper place to pop-a-squat can be more than a little challenging.

So why not travel with the toilet as your destination? Let's be real, you're gonna end up on one anyway.

'Toilet Island,' as it's become known, is barely big enough for you to get away from the smell of the mammoth deuce you'll be dropping, but don't worry. The warm sea breeze will carry the stench back to those plebs who are still doing their business on the mainland. 

Finland is a beautiful country and when do we appreciate beauty more than when we're dropping a contemplative loaf? Feel the breeze between yo' knees on this gorgeous throne just off Europe's northernmost hiking trail. 

No one knows who installed this toilet/shower setup near the Krafla Geothermal Power Station or what kind of desperate circumstances might've preceded its construction. What we do know is whoever built it definitely didn't suffer from stage fright. This is guaranteed to be one of the coldest, and most public, pisses of your life. 

Significantly colder, but significantly less public is this outhouse nestled somewhere in the Himalayas. Backpack a lil' too heavy to finish the climb? Here's a place where you can lighten your proverbial load. 

Scaling Mt. Kilimanjaro is certainly not for the faint of heart, but apparently, you need nerves of steel just to answer nature's call during your ascent. This cliff-side crapper redefines what it means to drop a deuce.

Leave it to a bunch of Buddhist monks to create the most Zen restroom experience of your life. Make your way to the Thicksey Monastery to feel as one with the universe as it's possible for you to feel while there's digested Indian food slidin' outcha' rear. 

If writing this article taught me anything, it's that Northern Europeans know how to shit in style. From the mysterious, open-air loo in Iceland, to the remote outhouse in Finland, to this Norwegian lavatory, if you don't mind crap that's on the colder side, Northern Europe looks like the place to be. 

How 'bout that reveal, though? The facilities themselves might not be anything remarkable, but that poolside view silhouetted with mountains? Can't beat it. 

You'll be able to enjoy the breathtaking view from the Seoul Tower as you spend 15 minutes figuring whether you're supposed to sit or stand while using this perplexing porcelain. Or maybe it's a sink. Maybe it's both. I don't know how they do things in Korea, but if I really gotta go you can bet I'm not taking the time to figure it out. 

I really hope that's two-way glass, but, from the look of our yellow-jacketed observer, I'm guessing that draining the sea monster on this mountain in Austria is a not-so-private affair. 

Nothing like pinching a loaf on top of the world's tallest existing structure to really give an ol' boost to the ego. Not only are the bathrooms inside Dubai's Burj Khalifa luxurious, but your dookie might reach terminal velocity as it's piped back down to the Earth. 

For those of you who love a challenge, our final porcelain throne sits at the SUMMIT of the highest mountain in the contiguous United States. Can you imagine the satisfaction? You've just spent days climbing to an elevation of 14,505 feet and what's waiting for you at the top? The best, god-damn, poo of your life. Now that's a destination dump.
