We go to the same places all the time, eat the same foods and see similar landscapes. This makes us sometimes forget that there are other cultural manifestations that are completely different from ours. This is why when we encounter a foreign population, their habits may seem strange to us, and it is difficult for us to adapt to them. But the truth is that we each have a small piece of the planet, so it's important to go beyond our customs and embrace the unknown.
Pictolic has collected photographs taken by several people from all over the world sharing fun finds from around the world that truly capture the true essence of the places in which they were captured.
