Hey there, wonderful Detour Readers,

We’ve all got those big travel dreams; see the Northern Lights in Norway, sip espresso in Rome — blah blah blah.

But do you ever feel kinda stuck or paralyzed when it comes to planning what goes on your wander wishlist? I know I do. 

That’s why I want to know the most bizarre, hyper-specific travel items on your list. The kind that makes even the most seasoned traveler stop and say, “wait, that’s a thing?”

Think:

• Attending Japan’s annual Naked Festival (Hadaka Matsuri)
• Camping out by the Door to Hell in Turkmenistan—a fiery crater that’s been burning for 50+ years
• Tracking down Moldova's last surviving traditional bee shaman. The more niche, the better.

The weirder, the more I love it. And bonus points if you’ve already done something bizarre — tell me how it went!

Just hit 'Reply', and we’ll share your peculiar travel preoccupations in our next edition, hopefully including some pics from the ground.

Happy travels and safe landings,
