While some people explore the world in search of adventures, others to experience new food, many do it for their love of culture. Cultural tourism means travelling to learn and experience a new culture, whether visiting historical landmarks, exploring museums, or attending festivals. It's a fantastic way to learn about a new place, understand how other people live, and gain experiences you will remember for the rest of your life.

This summer, my husband and I undertook a move. A relocation from Massachusetts to Arizona has been undertaken by others, no doubt.

Then, we’ll drive to Arizona.
