Avoid Traveling Like a Tourist and Start Looking Like a Local With These 7 Tips

I’m talking about the one that you depend on to take your everywhere. There are benefits to bus tours; the tour guides are amazing and you will probably learn a lot, but a major drawback is that you will probably miss out on handling transactions by yourself.

Packaged tours handle everything; itineraries, meals, and even rest stops. This is great if you’re scared and lazy, but not if you’re looking for the local experience. When you walk around the city, get lost, and interact with the locals, this will help you in experiencing the culture more and learning how to depend on yourself. Traveling isn’t only about going to a new place, it’s also about improving yourself. Traveling solo and planning my trips has taught me how to depend on myself, become better in organizing, and not panic when things don’t go as planned.
