Cape Town - The only thing better than buying your ticket, packing your bags and heading on over the waters to explore a different place, is getting more than you bargained for while abroad.
Like when in Rome, and you stumble across a rock music festival on some ancient piazza, and find yourself singing along to music you don't understand a word of, dancing with strangers.
Although the Colosseum was a stunning sight, and the Spanish steps were truly beautiful (albeit crowded), the fondest memory I have of Rome is certainly not of tossing a coin in the Trevi fountain.
The point I'm trying to make, is that festivals reveal a lot more in a lot less time about a foreign country.
Thus, if you're a smart traveller, why not plan your next adventure in such a way that it coincides with one of these incredible festivals found all over the world.
