We’re seeking authenticity in our lives, conversations, connections and certainly in how we travel. There’s just something about a cool and quirky neighbourhood that has endless appeal. These pockets around the world make us want to return over and over again and have the ability to turn tourists into travellers.

The travel list is ever-stretching, but the good news is that I’ve done the hard yards on your behalf and have hunted down these hotspots covering all the cool. Noteworthy for an added element of unique energy, these neighbourhoods remind us of the very reason we travel. 

Here’s our hot list of ‘hoods:
