Cultural Traditions to Celebrate

Each year, UNESCO compiles traditions, knowledge, skills and art from communities across the globe, in a list of “Intangible Cultural Heritage.” The chosen items are not historical monuments or artifacts, but rather “living expressions inherited from our ancestors.” In a time of rapid globalization, the list serves to recognize and celebrate cultural diversity and highlights how traditional ways of life interact with the contemporary world. From the navigation skills of Micronesian wayfarers to a thousand-year pottery tradition carried by women in northern Peru, here’s a snapshot of this year’s list.

Trips Worth the Wait

But with the glimmers of hope from the availability of vaccines and reopening borders in 2021, we're cautiously optimistic about the year ahead. One thing is more certain than ever, though: when we do travel, we want it to count. COVID-19 gave us a chance to reassess what matters; for many of us, we realized what a great privilege it is to travel. We've put together a list of trips with that in mind-experiences that are as meaningful as they are thrilling, ones that have as positive impact on the places they touch as on the travelers themselves. From swimming with migrating mobula rays in Mexico to meeting the great mystics in Turkey or seeing what's at stake with climate change exploring Greenland's Arctic fjords on a battery-hybrid ship, these trips will make up for lost time. - Kathleen Rellihan
