Liza, RDN :
That’s exactly how I like to travel! I call it “live like a local”. Of course you can’t fully experience a city as a local but we try. For example we rent apartments vs hotel, get groceries, try local restaurants for food, skip most tourist traps and prefer local-ish places. I read about cultural preferences and language. And the most fun is people watching: noticing how they great each other, how they move, walk, how they interact with family vs strangers etc. it’s fascinating. I call it “keys”. When you get a cultural key, you unlock a whole different way to experiencing life!

Love this. And if I may add: if more people travelled like this I believe mass tourism would be less of an issue, because suddenly every new place has potential to be interesting and not just the same few places you see online or hear people talk about

that why I don't travel, I sojourn. move to another country, learn the language, take part in local society, make good friends and coworkers. then 4-5 years later move somewhere completely different and do it again 💜

This is bad idea. this severely limits experiences. Better try to travel as Geographer: countless layers on every breath you take. You’re welcome 😘

Always saved up to have longer holidays to unintentionally do this. Rather than smaller checklist holidays

Another tip is watching a movie / reading a book by someone from this country beforehand, helps to get a better sense of their way of thinking

This is why 1 month in a same place beats multiple cities visited for only 1 week

Everytime I go to a new country I want to go into the houses of locals and see how they decorate/ layout of houses

Reading ‘Taiwan Travelogue’ rn these are my exact thoughts and also one of the main themes in the book. 🥰

I think this loops into asking bartenders and servers where they would go if they were gonna go out for the day. It’s 1) a great way to get amazing recommendations outside of the tourist traps and 2) such interesting data and observations!!

Or here me out: it is okay to be a touristy and enjoy touristy activities. They are popular for a reason. You can people watch back at home

I always informally did this but I want to be more intentional about it now. Thanks so much for sharing this perspective!

My favorite way of traveling! i love experiencing a new place in the way a people live there: joining and observing the community instead of as a consumer.
