“Custom travel is not for everyone.” DOVE in April is on newsstands. Here is the editorial

HASApril begins with a promise: that of a journey that does not simply take us elsewhere, but which transforms us, adapts like a tailor-made suit. In this issue of OR, we invite you to explore the world through personalized lenses, where each destination becomes a refuge for the soul, a scene of tailor-made adventures and a crossroads of authentic encounters.

Cellars of Trentino in the hidden streets of Val de Merse in Tuscany, the intact magic of the village of Oliena in Sardinia to the urban renaissance of Reggio Emiliaeach story is an invitation to travel with intention, to seek out experiences that resonate with our deepest essence. And then, beyond the Italian borders, we let ourselves be seduced byNorthern Australiawith the timeless atmosphere of Ithacato the majestic dunes of Arcachon bay in France and the lesser known landscapes of Asturias in Spain.

When you think about it, a “tailor-made” trip is a canvas on which to paint our desires, a journey that invites us to rediscover the art of listening – to ourselves and the world around us. It is an exploration that goes beyond simply moving from one place to another; it is a dialogue with cultures, landscapes and stories, a way of weaving deeper and more meaningful connections. And there is no longer a perfect destination, there is only the right moment to find, deep down, the place that matches our needs. These are no longer fashionable places to display like trophies, but new ways of tuning into scenarios that provide us with answers.

Travel as an act of rebellion

“Customized” travel is not for everyone: it is a gentle and profound act of rebellion against the tourist who wanders in vain or, even worse, against those who have not lifted their feet from the same umbrella in decades. AND the choice to explore to savor, to fully immerse ourselves in experiences, seeking authentic connections that enrich not only our personal journey, but also the fabric of the communities visited. Only in this way does the journey transform into a personal, unique and irreplaceable work of art that invites us to discover new horizons and new shades of ourselves. And how many are ready to travel the adventurous paths of self-knowledge and knowledge of the world? Not everyone can understand the magic of the Pilat dune, “an alienating landscape where you can get lost and find yourself endlessly”, as it is written on the page. 126.

But who reads well ORhowever, knows that it belongs to a community of research enthusiasts and thirsty for knowledge. Along the journey, we discover that true destiny is not a place, but the courage to look within ourselves and see the world not as it is, but as it could be through our eyes. And if you don't have courage, you can't give it. Or not?

DOVE in April is on newsstands from Friday March 22. With this issue of DOVE it is also possible to purchase the Puglia Guide.
