Know Before
You Go
Master local customs, essential phrases, and cultural nuances before your journey. Be a traveler, not a tourist.
Be a Traveler,
Not a Tourist
The difference between a tourist and a traveler? Understanding. When you know why shoes come off at the door in Japan, why a thumbs-up means something different in the Middle East, or how to properly greet someone in France—you transform from visitor to welcomed guest.
"Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness."
— Mark Twain
