So, you\u2019re finally making the leap and booking the vacation you\u2019ve always been dreaming of.<\/p>\n

Now that the biggest questions like how you\u2019ll get there and where you\u2019ll stay have been answered, it\u2019s time to map out the finer details of this epic vacation of yours.<\/p>\n

Where will you eat? Who will you meet? How will you spend your time?<\/p>\n

Ditch the guidebook and give new meaning to local experiences<\/strong><\/p>\n

How many times have you typed \u201cthings to do in X City\u201d into a search bar, only to be presented with the exact same lists across thousands of search results?<\/p>\n

Of course you want to venture to the landmarks and witness photos you\u2019ve seen of this city firsthand, but you and I both know that great vacations and lifelong memories are made when you dive a little deeper and do the things you\u2019re passionate about.<\/p>\n

Thankfully, Airbnb Experiences is there for just that<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Epitomizing \u201cunique travel experiences,\u201d Airbnb\u2019s expanded offering now gives travellers the chance to really take a whack at their bucket lists.<\/p>\n

Learn to cook in the home of a trained chef, attend a secret concert in a private palace \u2014 spar with a samurai! \u2014 for anything you\u2019ve ever wanted to do but never had a clue how to get started, let Airbnb be your guide.<\/p>\n

Give the guidebook a rest and fill your travels with activities and experiences that are 100% you.<\/p>\n

Stop and smell the roses with Butterfield and Robinson<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

We all fantasize about these wonderfully relaxing vacations for an escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life, but unless we\u2019re hanging by the beach for a week, or frolicking in the hills of the Tuscan countryside, our itineraries are jam packed from wanting to see and do it all on a 10-day schedule.<\/p>\n

Founded to help you \u201cslow down and see the world,\u201d Butterfield and Robinson have been leading travellers on luxury biking and walking tours<\/a> around the world for 50 years, in over 100 cities.<\/p>\n

Stay at some of the most beautiful hotels in the world, and dine on some of the finest food your destination has to offer.<\/p>\n

When they say luxury, they mean luxury.<\/p>\n

Some of the most memorable moments of any great trip come from the delectable food you eat, and the wonderful company you share it with.<\/p>\n

And why not take a little time to meet new people and get acquainted with the locals on your next holiday?<\/p>\n

MealSharing brings people from all over the world together to enjoy a delicious meal in the dining room of a local homecook<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Spend an evening making memories with new friends, and of course, savour the homey comforts that you won\u2019t find in any restaurant anywhere in the world.<\/p>\n

Share memories and experiences with your newest friends<\/strong><\/p>\n

Solo trips are amazing, but we never miss an opportunity to make new friends.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re adventuring alone and want the chance to meet other, like-minded globetrotters, look no further than Tripr, a social app that connects you with travellers around the world<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Get advice from locals (real ones!), make plans with friends you had no idea would be in the same place at the same time, and chat with other travellers who share similar itineraries to yours.<\/p>\n
