Cultural Insider is an online resource for individuals who are searching for ideas on how to enjoy the world locally. Founded by Rachel Bowen Pittman, the site is based on the principle that most Americans do not have the time or financial resources to travel the world extensively. However, the United States is a nation made up of diverse communities that offer opportunities to experience the world through international and cultural activities, venues and events such as restaurants, festivals, language and dance classes, museums, specialty stores, theaters, exhibits and much more.

Cultural Insider is open to all cultural enthusiasts and those interested in enjoying activities outside of their everyday life.
