The end of summer is quickly approaching, and you know what that means: time to get in the back-to-school mindset! We’ve rounded up some engaging activities to complete this month that will inspire you to keep learning and get you thinking about travel again. Let’s get started!
Learn a language
There’s no time like the present to dip your feet into the world of learning a new language. With several different language-learning apps easily available for download (we like Duolingo and Babbel), it’s easier than ever to get started. The hardest choice is picking which language you want to learn!
Try a new cuisine
Eating is the best kind of homework, so here’s your assignment: pick a country unfamiliar to you and learn a bit more about the flavors, textures, and common ingredients in that county’s cuisine. Then, pick a recipe and try your hand at cooking up an authentic dish. Can we have a bite?
Watch an international movie
Hollywood isn’t the only movie-making town in the world! Netflix has a great selection of international thrillers, comedies, dramas, and more that will give you insight into cultural norms and popular tropes in films from around the globe.
