Idiom: Hidden Gem
Many people want to find a hidden gem when they go travelling.
Hidden gems are fantastic secret places or things which nobody else knows.
These are the places that haven’t become tourist traps where cheap souvenirs are sold.
They want to escape the hustle and bustle of the main attractions and find a hidden gem.
They want to go to the little waterfall that no other tourists have found or the great café that the locals all know about but tourists seldom visit.
From my own travel experience, it is the hidden gems that make a trip worth it.
A great book or movie can also be a hidden gem if they are relatively unknown to the general public.
