Half the fun of exploring the world is meeting the interesting people who inhabit it. No two cultures are exactly the same, and taking the time to immerse yourself in your destination with the people who live there can be the most rewarding part of any journey. While you’re out exploring the world, take time to meet locals (maybe even share a meal with them!), sign up for a local art class, or learn more about traditional crafting techniques. It’s one thing to visit a different culture, but it’s an entirely different—and far more rewarding—thing to experience it for yourself.

One of the best parts of traveling the world is sampling all of the new food and drinks waiting to be discovered along the way. From traditional favorites to adventurous dishes only the bravest of culinary travelers will want to try, there truly is something for everybody. Sample the food and wine than put France on the map as one of the world’s premier dining destinations. Go on a wine tour that spans the globe. Discover the flavors of the Mediterranean, or take a cooking class in a new country and enjoy a beloved local dish. How many Michelin star meals can you try in ?
UNESCO World Heritage Sites represent some of the best that the world has to offer. From natural beauties and representations of human achievement to places of historical significance, there are more than a thousand UNESCO World Heritage Sites—each offering unique insight into the world around us. While it would be next to impossible to visit all of these sites in a year, there’s no shame in dreaming big! Here are a few of our favorites that we’ll be traveling to this year (and we’d love for you to join us!).
