An authentic cultural journey is when clients become not just travellers, but active participants in the the environment that surrounds them. It’s about finding those hidden gems tucked away from the tourist trails, where the real magic happens, and you can create many stories when you get home.
Dream Plan Explore, take our clients beyond the surface. You could be weaving through the vibrant backstreets of a busy bazaar, learning age-old crafts from the local artisans, or even joining in on a traditional festival, dancing to the rhythms that have echoed through the ages.
These experiences are about sharing the transformative power of cultural immersion. You will be able to tell tales of living with a nomadic tribe or forming lasting friendships over a simple meal in a local’s home or learning new cultural skills.
By being emersed in a local experience helps with your overall health. It can stimulate and rejuvenate your mind, reduce stress, and help with overall mindfulness. Exploring new places by cycling or hiking, can also contribute to improving your physical activity.
Culinary Travel
Experiencing food within a culture brings people together.
It can be exciting to discover the stories behind the spices, the history baked into the bread and the culture simmered into the stews.
From sushi making classes in Tokyo, intimate cooking classes in the cozy kitchens of Tuscany, or even learning cooking tips from a foodie in Cusco Peru, Dream Plan Explore can organise a foodie experience with Adventure.
Getting to the heart of a place through its food isn’t just delicious, it’s enlightening and offer experiences that last a lifetime.
Family Adventure
How about taking a different family holiday full of adventure.
Taking a family adventure holiday is a great family bonding experience. It can be a real educational experience where the children can learn so much about other people’s culture, language and environment away from the classroom. Unplug from your technology for a time and focus on you and your family.
You may also discover new challenges: hiking a mountain, learning to snorkel or navigating a new city.
There are many trips available from travelling in a Tuk Tuk in Vietnam, catching an overnight train in Egypt or searching for walking in the Himalayas. A rewarding an experience for all the family.
Walking and Trekking
Walking and trekking holidays are escapes where the journey really is about the path you tread, each step offering a new perspective and a deeper connection to the natural world.
Imagine the breathtaking views on a hike from Chamonix in the French Alps, trekking the ancient pilgrim paths of the Camino de Santiago in Spain, or embracing the rugged grandeur of Patagonia’s peaks. Exploring different terrains and meeting locals can offer a deeper understanding of diverse cultures and traditions.
But these holidays aren’t just about the physical activity—they are sensory experiences. The scent of the pine forest, the sound of a distant waterfall, the feel of the earth underfoot, every element is a touchstone to the present moment. It can be a very calming, stress reducing, mood enhancing type of holiday.
What’s more, walking and trekking holidays can be tailored to any fitness level. Whether you’re looking for gentle walks through serene landscapes or challenging multi-day hikes that test your endurance, there’s a trail out there with your name on it.
