We have been to over 90 countries. We’ve road-tripped, gone by train, and of course do a lot of sightseeing while we’re there. We love world-heritage sites, history, especially Roman, and getting to know the culture.
We do this through getting out and spending time with locals, mostly by booking private cooking lessons. However, we also just spark up conversations in restaurants, on paid activities, and anywhere else that it’s appropriate.
