Places of Art & Craft
The world is filled with places to find the things you are passionate about. Think for a moment about those things. Thoughtful travel is about focusing on those things that you are really interested in. You can wander about with a bucket list of sites you wish to see. Spend your time and money on discovering those things you really care about. Leave the gawking to the tourists. Let me know what you really care about. This is creative travel.
