a real treasure for anyone who loves discovering new places, hitting the road, and finding hidden gems around the world they never knew existed.
i first came across it around early june, starting with the book and then discovering the website and app.
it covers all kinds of categories, from art, history, and archaeology to food, nature, and unusual local spots. instead of focusing on the usual tourist attractions and crowded destinations, it takes you to places tucked away from the beaten path. i even found places in my own city that i'd never heard of.
