Now that you have the time, you want to travel better. For us, better travel means going more slowly, experiencing each destination more deeply and generally coming and going as we please.

Since you have to eat, why not do it at food and wine festivals?

Start here with links to food and wine festivals around the world.

And once again, going to a concert gives you a chance to hang with the locals. Check out our tips and useful links for live music shows.
