slum walks - A vacation should be much more than an occasion to snap trophy photos and go home and boast your pals. Any occasion should be an enlightening cultural experience that you practice a little of the countries, people, cultures and structure of the country. Now days it is not just enough to book a vacation through an agent, get on a plane and tour around some exotic location.

We need to think of how our holiday impacts the places and people we're visiting, not only how it impacts them, so how it can help them. Too many people today just book a holiday out of a glossy brochure or above a flashy website, but we put little though into who's running our holiday, the location where the money is going and that is benefiting.
