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.
