One of the best parts of travel is seeing how different cultures mark the same human moments: endings, new beginnings, family, food, and light.

Below, I’ve pulled together holiday traditions for each country I’ve visited, short, sweet, and great for inspiration if you’re planning a cultural escape this season.
