European Capitals of Culture 2025: Chemnitz, Gorizia, and Nova Gorica

Ralf Steinberger, Krzysztof Golik, Eleassar Annually for the last 40 years, the cultural poobahs of the European Union have designated one or more of the continent's cities (and as of 2022 it's been three rather than two), as Capitals of Culture, focusing on their own cultural offerings and allowing them to organize a series of wider cultural events (many with a strong pan-European dimension) - which bring in considerable additional revenue; foster urban renewal; and raise their…

Exploring Chinese and aboriginal culture in Taiwan

Stanislav Koslovskiy Officially the Republic of China, this island with a population of around 24 million – just a bit larger than the state of Maryland and just under half the size of Scotland – has been in the news lately both thanks to its controversial January 13 presidential elections and to its perennial potential (and especially in the context of other current crises in Ukraine and Gaza) as a world flashpoint due to mainland China´s obsession with eventually and forcibly annexing it.…

Eurovision 2024 in Malmö, Sweden: the world´s biggest annual pop-cultural extravaganza

SVT/EBU The world´s premier song contest just completed its spectacular 68th edition with the usual lineup of singing, dancing, special effects, silliness and seriousness, pulling in a TV audience of hundreds of millions plus thousands of fans who flocked to Sweden´s third city from 90 countries. Plus this year there was a degree of history making (non-binaries, take a bow!), along with controversy in the form of scandal (thanks to a goofy Dutchman) and protests (thanks to Israel´s presence…

by Rigel Celeste

The "Eat Pray Love" frenzy continues and for those who have been inspired to set off on their own soul-searching adventure in Indonesia Kamandalu Resort has come up with their own version of Elizabeth Gilbert's story...(cont.).

The package is available from September 2010 thru July 2011 and sounds like a nice balance of experiencing the movie's theme while still leaving room for a personalized experience, and if you were really inspired by the movie you can enter their contest and potentially win a trip for free. Otherwise there's a minimum two night stay required with rates ranging from $280 - $440/night, depending on which villa you choose. Let yourself go!

In October this year, a pioneering community-based cultural exchange tourism projects starts in Sierra Leone. After a successful 3-4 years running the same model on an island in Fiji, the Tribewanted team are taking this story of sustainable community development through tourism to another part of the World that is in great need of some attention.

Via Tribewanted Sierra Leone, we bring you a video introducing the John Obey community where the first tribe members will set foot in October.

For a chance to win an all-expenses paid experience, follow the 'sweepstakes' box on their facebook page.
