Regulations and Warnings
While much of the world is returning to some semblance of normal after three rocky years regarding world health risks and the pandemic, it’s still important to check with travel guidelines or websites for your destination and airline of choice before booking to ensure you’re prepared ahead of time for any requirements to keep yourself and others safe and healthy on your trip.
Poland
This country has a lot to offer for tourists, and because of its ongoing assistance with world issues by taking in refugees and lending efforts to the war in Ukraine it has lost a lot of important money to support citizens. Your visit can not only have a really unique itinerary full of lovely cultural and nature experiences, but also help to keep a country on its feet during tough times. It’s a great way to experience something while feeling you truly make an impact for good.
Charlestown, South Carolina
Looking for a cultural experience to learn all about the presence of black culture in the United States? This city in particular in South Carolina is a great option. Not only is the International African American Museum opening its doors sometime this year, but you can also check out the Spoleto Festival featuring tons of music, Charlestown’s food and wine festival for tons of great eats, and so much more.
Australia
Some portion of Australia always makes it on travel lists for yearly bucket lists, and that’s for good reason! Australia has a lot to offer both culturally and in breathtaking natural experiences and views, with a lot of different tourist options that help you be able to find something that fits your budget to enjoy the country even when you may not have the most to spend on your trip and lodging.
Vilnius, Lithuania
A particularly unique experience this year would be visiting the lesser-known town in Lithuania that is celebrating its 700 year anniversary starting in January 2023. There are tons of festivals, events, guides, and more going on for the entire year to celebrate Lithuania’s capitol city and bring in new tourists and visitors to the city over the months. You can learn so much about this country’s history in a fun and unique way anytime of the year!

And you may even learn about and live in some really great cultural regions while going to these destinations that will teach you so much about the world and yourself.
