Experience authenticity on the road less traveled

Culture and heritage tourism is the most important movement in contemporary travel.

Why is Culture and Heritage so important?

In a hyper-connected world, we’re ironically more disconnected from ourselves, our communities, and the world’s rich diversity.

Contemporary issues hit the tourism industry hard. We travel for the ‘gram, not for growth. But authentic culture and heritage travel still exists, and we’re here to champion it.

Despite significant issues stemming from overtourism, huge numbers of travelers continue to flock to hyper-specific locations, like the Gion District in Kyoto, or Venice, Italy. 

Earth To Editorial is a blog that believes travel should inspire empathy, curiosity, and deeper understanding. We advocate for mindful exploration and travel that respects local culture and heritage while offering life-changing experiences.

See the world, save it too.

Earth To is a travel community dedicated to meaningful, ethical, and immersive culture and heritage experiences around the world.

We made Earth To especially for people like you: culture-curious, adventurous travelers who are intrigued about the world around them.

We celebrate the landmarks, but we also love the overlooked alleyways, the local cafes, and the traditions that aren’t on postcards. If you’re someone who seeks connection, discovery, and purpose, you’re in the right place.

The local approach to international travel

Your Source for authentic travel: Here, there, and everywhere.

Before Earth To Editorial existed, we were just curious explorers with a passion for meaningful travel (just like you!). The untold stories, the community traditions, and the cultural roots of each destination were what motivated us to keep traveling. 

Now, we’ve turned that passion into a resource for other like-minded travelers.

Founded by a team of writers, locals, and travel experts, Earth To Editorial is your go-to source for authentic culture and heritage experiences. From walking historic paths to chatting with village elders, we go deeper so you can too.

Here’s a snapshot of how we’re different: 

  • Off-the-beaten-path guides curated by locals or seasoned travelers
  • Travel tips rooted in ethics, sustainability, and cultural respect
  • Community insights that celebrate heritage and living traditions

Are we going to be besties?

You want to dig deep into the countries you visit and leave with a better understanding than when you arrived. 

Your idea of a great trip includes trying local delicacies at a traditional market, exploring the hidden gems, and making new friends around the world. Sure, you might check a few tourist attractions off your list, but you crave unique experiences that aren’t all over Instagram. 

Your curiosity is what fuels culture and heritage tourism! You’re more than a tourist, you’re an explorer! 

If you answered yes to the above, then this site was made for you! 

For authentic travelers exploring global culture and heritage, we’ll support your journey with ethical, local, and experiential travel advice. That means we write articles with the advice of experts and locals so you get an authentic experience every time.
