Get lost! The new art of travel for the 21st Century
“When travelling abroad, do not waste your days visiting stone monuments. Seek out local people and discover how they really live.”
I have been all about this for as long as I’ve been traveling. The best parts of my travels have all stemmed from people, not places. I love museums and monuments (obviously, I’m getting a degree focusing on museum studies), but I need and want so much more than tourist destinations when I travel. Good stories come from interactions with people. Find the best places by talking to local people, asking what you need to see in the city, where you should go, and what you should eat. That’s why couchsurfing is so great!
