🌍 Slow Down: Spend more time in one place to truly absorb the culture and your new surroundings. Slow travel, anyone?
🍲 Eat Local: Skip the tourist traps (often with bouncers and pictures of the food) and try authentic food experiences, anywhere from yummy street food to fine dining.
👩🎨 Engage with Locals: Join workshops, cultural events, or simply strike up a conversation to understand the local beat. Find suitable activities aligned with your interests.
🌿 Embrace the outdoors: Walk without a map in the city, take hikes, bike tours, or eco-friendly excursions to connect with natural landscapes and experience serenity.
🎨 Learn the History: Why not read a book before you leave, fiction, or true life, either way it gives you a deeper insight into what makes the destination tick.
