TravelZoom explores places beyond the surface. In every episode we visit a new destination and we explore it beyond the landmarks and attractions. Talking to local insiders we discover the social and cultural aspects of a place to set the context for the visit. We learn about the local hidden gems that you are not likely to find in the guide book. And of course, we get a taste of the local, yet not the most obvious, cuisine.
