Some countries have dozens of events throughout the year, making it easier to pick a time and a place. India, for example, has a whopping 13 different festivals and events in December alone<\/a>.<\/p>\n Bear in mind that certain festivals, such as the Carnival of Brazil can become very busy. You\u2019ll want to book your flights and accommodation well in advance if you\u2019re planning on taking part in a popular event.<\/p>\n Before you jet off to a new country to take part in one of their celebrations, it\u2019s essential to learn about any customs they may have. For example, Nyepi is a Day of Silence in Bali and it has some strict rules. Everything is closed, including the airports, and you\u2019ll be expected to respect these customs and traditions. You may also have to wear (or not wear) certain colours and clothing for different festivals. Try to immerse yourself as much as possible and avoid offending the locals by adhering to these customs.<\/p>\n If you really want to get involved with a festival or celebration somewhere else in the world, then you\u2019re going to want to learn some of the language, too. Even if it\u2019s just a couple of phrases and whatever greeting they use on that particular day. For example, Merry Christmas in Greek is \u201cKala Christougenna.\u201d It\u2019s okay if you only learn a little bit of the language \u2013 you don\u2019t need to be fluent \u2013 but it shows respect to learn some.<\/p>\n Our final tip is to wholeheartedly throw yourself into whatever festival, celebration or event you\u2019re attending abroad. If you\u2019ve done your research, then you should have a good idea what to expect when you get there, including what customs and costumes are expected. Soak up the unique culture and enjoy an experience that will leave you with long lasting memories. This will be a day, week, or even month to remember!<\/p>\n If you\u2019re looking for more of a party vibe, then The Secret Traveller blog over at 1Cover has a list of the world\u2019s best party towns \u2013 including Las Vegas, Rio De Janeiro, and Cancun.
