The Intrepid List Culture is a collection of 50 unique cultural experiences from around the globe. But this isn’t a bucket list book.

This is for the intrepid travelers – culture vultures, artisans, foodies and festival goers – those who long to escape the tourist traps and experience true connection. Open your mind and uncover the soul of a place – from rare cultural experiences to architectural marvels and tempting dishes. Hear from travel writers who share their encounters with community and tradition, all done with an eye to preserving the peace of both locals and the planet. Forget the overcommercialised guidebooks and manufactured experiences. Embrace the unexpected. Discover the unforgettable.
