Traveling is always a very interesting experience. While a photo in front of a famous building is great, the best spots are the ones nobody knows about. Acting like a local is the best solution. Plus, you’re more likely to get to know the locals that way. Of course, you can still visit the main attractions, but sometimes a place just has more to offer.

If you really want to get to know a city, you should leave your “I love…” shirt at home and do a little more research to get to know the best spots and neighborhoods of the locals.

Even if it’s just for a day, you’ll definitely discover more interesting places this way—I’ve met some amazing people this way. And who knows, maybe even friendships will develop?
