Sometimes after a long day of exploring a new destination, I like to wander around the local flea markets. It’s the best place to see people interact and learn about local customs and culture. Sometimes I find an amazing place to eat like the fish sandwiches at Eminonu in Istanbul. Other times, I get lost in all the different trinkets laid out in front of me.
Here are a collection of photos from around the world submitted by my fellow wanderlusters. Enjoy!

Since that time, she’s lived in Istanbul, sailed in the Mediterranean, slept in a Bedouin cave in the mountains of Petra, bellydanced her way through Cairo, drank afternoon tea in London, danced with young Buddhist monks in Burma, learned the art of Vipassana meditation in an ashram in India, trekked the Himalayan mountain range in Nepal and sunbathed in the gorgeous beaches of Thailand.
