I’m tired of waiting in crowds, having the same travel photos and experiences as everyone else, and of being basic. Kultura Travel is changing the travel game with the first immersive cultural travel app. What better way to get the word out about this up-and-coming form of travel than a podcast? Presenting Kultura Travel’s official podcast: Put the Guidebook Down.
