How to travel abroad without literally travelling abroad

Travel still seems like a bit of a distant memory, which is why we’ve got you sorted with the very cool and innovative Holiday In A Box.

In short, the Holiday In A Box team have created and curated a bespoke box to be sent to you for a variety of different destinations dependent on where you’d like to metaphorically travel to. As they describe them on their website, they are ‘destination-themed, activity-filled hampers for lovers of travel, history and culture.’ But what’s so endearing about this company is that their founder Laura, personally curates every box.

As I’ve never been to Rome, I opted to try this one, but I could have also chosen to try Bangkok in Thailand or Istanbul in Turkey. It wasn’t at all because I thought I’d get a box filled with homemade pasta….

The Rome, Italy box was everything I wanted and more.

Whether it’s making a friend or loved one feel a sense of home away from home, getting to know a language or culture better, updating yourself on different cuisines or just simply because you still can’t travel to the destination you really want to get to, this is the perfect stop on your travel journey.
