The year 2022 will be remembered as the first time we traveled farther and more freely since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. We ventured across the Atlantic in larger numbers. We braved airport chaos to visit dream destinations, to explore favorite hideouts anew and to see the people we’d missed most.
Still, the most exciting year for celebrating life again and reconnecting with your fellow humans lies ahead. The world’s greatest festivals and expressions of freedom and joy are making a big collective comeback in 2023.
From the debauchery of Mardi Gras and Carnival around the world to the biggest Pride celebrations on Earth in Sydney, a tomato food fight in Spain’s countryside, beer chugging with Germans in Munich and transcending spiritual experiences in Ethiopia, you’ll remember how it feels to really be alive, to lose yourself in a crowd once more and celebrate humanity as if there’s no tomorrow.
