WHY LEARNING ON HOLIDAY IS THE 2020 TRAVEL TREND TO KNOW
Holidays used to be about switching off the brain, perhaps heading to the beach with a dog-eared copy of Jilly Cooper’s Riders, or at least nothing more taxing than Captain Corelli’s Mandolin. But in these switched-on, climate-aware times, we’re ditching the wide eyes, hashtags and chick-lit in favour of serious study.
For Exhibit A, witness New Scientist magazine’s series of Discovery Tours, launching next year, including trips around CERN’s Large Hadron Collider with leading particle physicist Kate Shaw; and a Hawaiian expedition voyage with Richard Dawkins, who will forego enraging Christendom on Twitter for volcanic island tours, snorkelling with manta rays and nightly seminars on evolutionary biology. Other purveyors include Smithsonian Journeys, which can arrange a week of student living at Oxford’s Merton College, with the chance to dip into lectures on Anglo Saxon archaeology.
