Even though we may travel in order to see something new and witness some new views of the world, the truth is that we still don't pay much attention to the fact that we also need to learn something when we decide to travel and that's exactly something that we must change!
Adult education can be a beautiful thing. Lovers of the finer things in life—like Aston Martin cars and Valrhona chocolates—can learn about them by taking special courses offered by their parent companies ... often in exceedingly pleasant surroundings.
Learning vacations can teach you everything from how to drive an Aston Martin and gamble in Monte Carlo’s renowned casinos to how to make truffles using Valrhona’s fabled chocolate. At the very least, they'll turn you into a great date.
Other “status skills” you can pick up include glass-blowing—taught at a school outside Seattle founded by the famed artisan, Dale Chihuly—wine and scotch-making, tango and ballroom dancing, and even learning how to be a mahout, or elephant driver. Hint: It's all in the knees.
