Travelling abroad gives us a chance to experience authentic cultures which can’t be enjoyed anywhere else.
Drinking Guinness in Dublin, eating pizza in Rome or watching a jazz band in New Orleans are great examples.
Authentic cultural experiences are often tied to history. For example, while you can take a trip on a punt or rowing boat all around the world, there’s something extra special about taking a gondola around the waters of Venice.
Venice, along with 99 other unique experiences makes up a great list from Wanderlust. If you want some inspiration for authentic trips, this is a good place to start.
