How to adapt the destination

The prompt asks for landmarks, food, local transportation and cultural symbols of the chosen country. For Japan, think torii, ramen and shinkansen; for Italy, in the Colosseum, pasta and Vespas. The quotes (“Get lost. Find yourself.”) and the editorial mini-sections (top attractions, hidden gems) anchor the collage to a travel magazine aesthetic, not a simple moodboard.
