Why You Should Read Searching for Unique before Your Next Vacation

9/9/2019

0 Comments

 
I wrote Searching for Unique to help fellow travellers cut through the myriad of travel guides, blogs and brochures and focus on the best destinations from around the world—those hidden gems that still elude most tourists.

Instead of trying to pick a country and then figure out what to do there, Searching for Unique covers multiple countries and groups each destination by theme. So, as a reader if you feel like an active holiday then you can look at the Wilderness Treks chapter or if you prefer the cultural experience of a local festival, then the Rare Festivals chapter may suit your interest.

One of the quickest means to gain a sense of a place is to step inside a local celebration. Some of my best memories have come from stumbling upon a quirky festival and letting myself become immersed in the unexpected.

For an urban vacation, here are three very different experiences to choose from:

Vilnius, Lithuania
​
Stroll through a city where European comfort fuses with the medieval past to form a medley of arts, culture and contemporary urban venues.
The streets were deserted. Had we fallen into a fairy-tale city decorated like a fancy wedding cake but without any guests? The morning felt oddly serene as we wandered the cobblestoned lanes and wound our way to Vilnius’ central Cathedral Square." ...continued in the Fallen Kingdoms Chapter of Searching for Unique.
Favourite Cafe: Crustum Bakery and Café earned its place as our favourite coffee and bakery spot in Vilnius: crustum.lt.
