I'm an east coast girl living in a west coast world. I grew up in New England before moving to SoCal for several years. I then lived in NYC or a year before moving to AZ in 2009. I worked in the entertainment industry for many years of my adult life and have a deep love for photography, writing, and traveling around the U.S. as well as to far-flung locations around the world. Travel is my life and writing about it is a dream!
Experiences can really help us learn and grow. And creating memories through experience is part of what life is all about, right? This holiday season, we have an out-of-the-box gift suggestion — instead of something tangible, how about gifting an experience instead? Airbnb offers several one-of-a-kind experiences in Massachusetts that a friend or family member would truly enjoy. Here are five hand-picked suggestions:
Boston is a foodie town so if you have a foodie in your life, send them on a tour of the North End. Also known as Boston's Little Italy, guests of this experience will be led on an expedition to find some of the best hidden gem eateries on Salem and Hanover Streets. Best of all, the group will get to tour the oldest bakery in the city, visit a spice shop as well as a butcher shop, and more. Book this North End Little Italy Food Tour experience on Airbnb.
If you know someone who would love a more hands-on food experience, you can book an Intro to Dumpling Making experience on Airbnb. With this experience, guests will learn a little bit about Chinese culture as well as some Mandarin as they make their own dumplings!
3. Roast Coffee at Del's Coffee Roasters, Waltham

After the tasting, guests will be able to roast their own beans. It's a truly unique experience! Book this coffee roasting experience on Airbnb.
On this experience, guests will learn the importance of seafood in Boston whilst learning some history on a walk along the freedom trail. Those on the tour will then be able to try some delicious clam chowder and other seafood at a local eatery. Book this From Lobster Tail to Freedom Trail experience on Airbnb.
For the person in your life who is into dark history, you may want to book this Bloodlust tour. Guests will learn about some of the gruesome murders and other macabre histories that occurred in Boston in the late-1800s. Sounds like a spooky experience!
