Synopsis

Travel is not, and should never be, a "been there, done that" proposition. Enlightened travelers understand that it's not about selfies posted on Instagram, but what famous sites they can check off their bucket lists. It's about authentic experiences. In the 21st century, to pardon the cliché, the world is our oyster. We can be in almost any city on the planet in 24 hours, in the most remote outpost of civilization in 48. Modern explorers thrive in their discomfort zones. They seek immersion, wisdom, and a greater understanding of people and places. Going Local features; how to become part of the experiential travel moment, contributing to the sharing economy on a peer-to-peer level. Case studies in living overseas - embracing foreign cultures through local cuisine, perhaps volunteering on the road. How an around-the-world adventure is a life-changing involvement. What it means to be a responsible traveler, and how to choose tour operators whose focus on sustainability protects and gives back to local societies.
