Though it is wonderful to live vicariously through people's holiday photos, Facebook and Instagram posts - there is nothing quite like being there. Actually feeling the sun on your back, smelling the mimosa in the evening air, discovering a small restaurant not previously researched on TripAdvisor, having struggling conversations tocommunicate with locals that usually end up in laughter, or finding a piece of handmade local pottery ... This is what travel is about - getting lost in new cultures, in history, in your senses.
