Adventure Travel

Ever heard of the famous aphorism “It’s not the destination that matters, it’s the journey”? Whoever said that was definitely partially correct. While the destination surely is a big part of any endeavor, the steps taken toward reaching it are just as crucial. Given that Halloween is almost upon us, let’s assume you are to attend a fantastic masquerade. Your first inclination would most likely be to go out and buy the prettiest mask you can find. Although simply purchasing a mask for your extravagant ball would be nice, it would also put you on the same level as all the other party goers out there. Inversely, making your own mask-now that puts you on an entirely different playing field. :)

The fun begins at a traditional mask shop in Venice, Italy where you will be enveloped in inspiration as you browse through the masterpieces in the store. Then the tour guide will take you to a popular mask studio where you will learn about the elaborate mask making process as well as some history on the making and wearing of masks in Italy back in the day. What started out as a compulsory rule turned into a method of breaking down class divisions and challenging social norms for a night. Next, it’s finally time for your creative juices to start flowing as you embark upon constructing your own delightful creation. At the work shop, you will be provided with all the necessary tools to craft your work of art and have some old fashioned fun in the process. After all, the sense accomplishment you receive when you take on a project and create something beautiful is surely unrivaled.

Making your own mask as a souvenir of Italy would be beneficial for two main reasons. First off, it holds immense sentimental value. Going through the learning process and creating something of your own with other people who are doing the exact same thing will permanently imprint upon you happy, positive memories. In addition, wearing a mask you constructed with your own two hands is unique and sets a person apart from the rest of the crowd.
