Hey Marvelers! Looking for local cuisine in Madrid? Then skip all the touristy restaurants and try .itspink._ ‘s recommendation.

Here’s how she ended up there:

“🩵Don’t be fooled by the hidden appearance!
🥙I was deep in studies, barely having time to breathe, when my foreign friends who were visiting Madrid asked me to join them for dinner. I decided I need a break, and so we ended up here.
🎉I cannot describe the sheer joy I felt! Their food is an absolute experience. This restaurant, located in the heart of the Salamanca neighborhood, serves local tapas, but with such unique deliciousness and huge portions, it’s impossible not to have a good time! 
🥘🥓🧆🥟🌮”

Next time you’re looking for local cuisine, ask Marv! (if you don’t know what Marv is yet than get ready for FOMO)

Do you know the best kept secret of traveling like a local? Here it is:

Ask a local. ✨

No but seriously, that’s the best way.🤭

Of course, we don’t know the best kept secret, if there even is one. But we have a few tips for you:

1. Ask Locals for Recommendations: Forget the travel guides—locals know the hidden gems best! If you don’t know any local, you can ask shop owners, baristas, or your hotel staff for their favorite spots. 📍

2. Check Out Local Events and Markets: Look for local markets or community events—they’re a great way to experience culture firsthand without the crowds! 🪇

3. Visit Early in the Morning or Late at Night: Explore popular spots just after sunrise or late at night to catch a quieter, more authentic vibe. 🌅

One more thing. If you don’t know a local it means you haven’t used Marv yet. Shame on you. Go to the link in bio and correct your mistake!

Don’t be the marveler that packs everything but the kitchen sink! 💼

Follow these tips to pack like a pro—whether you’re off to explore city streets or conquer the wild! 🌆🌲

1️⃣ City Break Essentials: Think comfort and style. Bring shoes you can actually walk in, a power bank, and lightweight layers.

2️⃣ Nature Retreat Essentials: Waterproof your adventure with a good jacket and hydration. Bonus points for packing snacks and a small first aid kit!

3️⃣ Common Mistakes: Overpacking! Use packing cubes to save space and avoid panic attacks when zipping your suitcase.

4️⃣ Packing Pro Hack: Roll your clothes to save space and wear your bulkiest items on travel day.

👓 See the World Through a Local’s Eyes 🌍
When you travel, are you really seeing everything? Or are you just scratching the surface?

In this reflection, there’s more than just a beautiful beach—there’s an entire world waiting to be discovered. 🌊🏖 But the true magic of travel comes from experiencing a place through the eyes of someone who calls it home. That’s where real connections and hidden gems come to life.

At Marv, we make that possible. Our platform matches travelers with local guides who share their passions—whether it’s discovering the best seaside spots, uncovering historical treasures, or diving into local food culture. With a local by your side, every destination becomes more than just a backdrop—it becomes a story, an experience, and a memory. ✨

Have you heard about Marv? And what do we do? 🤔

Marv can be described in many words (as you can also see in the picture): authentic travel, culture, hidden gems, local guides, tips&tricks, matching interests, meaningful connection, exclusivity and the list goes on.💎🌍

But if you want to know more about what we do at Marv, here it is:

🧩 Marv is a tech-driven travel platform connecting marvelers (travelers) with counselors (local guides) by using a matching algorithm.

✨ Marv instantly matches you with a trusted local buddy/expert, known as the Counselor, who crafts a personalized journey enriched with culture, based on your unique preferences, saving you time and enhancing your travel experience.

🗺️As a Counselor at Marv your benefits are enhancing skills, increasing visibility, and networking with like-minded travelers. As a guide, you can earn money through any channel, but as a Counselor you will boost your potential towards a career of excellence. You become a point of reference for your city and get the chance to shape your future into a leader in the travel industry.

We are going to launch the platform in August, but till then you can pre-register at the link in bio.

Hurry up to get the perks of pre-registering either as a Marveler or as a Counselor!😁

Bastei Bridge, nestled in the Elbe Sandstone Mountains of Saxon Switzerland National Park, is a hidden gem that has captivated travelers for over 200 years. 🌉

Rising 194 meters above the Elbe River, this sandstone rock formation offers breathtaking views and a sense of wonder. The stone bridge itself is rich in history. Originally, a wooden bridge was constructed in 1824 to link several rocks for visitors. Later, in 1851, it was replaced by the present sandstone bridge. The Bastei also features the remnants of Felsenburg Neurathen, an ancient rock castle. 🏰

Located near the town of Rathen, the Bastei is easily reachable from Dresden, the Czech Republic, and Poland. Whether you choose to hike the Bastei Rathen trail, take a scenic drive, or hop on the Bastei bus, this hidden gem awaits your discovery. 💎

For even more insights and hidden gems, it's always wise to talk to a local, as they know all the cool spots and updated info. If you don't know where to find them, head to the link in our bio to pre-register on Marv. Once we launch, you can use our matching algorithm to be instantly matched to a local wherever you choose to travel. And if you pre-register now, you get a 30% discount on your first trip!

Traveling to the south of France? Check out these 3 tourist traps in Provence 🇫🇷

1️⃣ Lavender Fields in High Season: The lavender fields of Provence are undeniably beautiful, but during peak season (June to August), they can become overcrowded with tourists. The areas around popular spots like Valensole can be particularly swamped, making it difficult to enjoy the serene beauty.
✅ Alternative: Visit the less crowded lavender fields in the Luberon region, such as those near Sault. These fields are equally beautiful and offer a more tranquil experience. Additionally, consider visiting in late June or early September, when the crowds are thinner but the lavender is still in bloom.

2️⃣ Les Baux-de-Provence: While Les Baux-de-Provence is a captivating medieval village with stunning views and historical significance, it has become highly commercialized. The narrow streets are often packed with tourists, especially during the summer, and many of the shops sell overpriced souvenirs.
✅ Alternative: Explore the village of Gordes, which offers similar charm and stunning views without the overwhelming crowds. Another great option is the village of Roussillon, known for its ochre cliffs and picturesque streets.

3️⃣ Aix-en-Provence Market: Aix-en-Provence is famous for its vibrant markets, particularly the Cours Mirabeau market. While it's a delightful experience to wander through the stalls, the market can be overwhelmingly crowded, and prices for local goods like lavender products, soap, and Provençal textiles are often higher than in less tourist-centric markets.
✅ Alternative: Visit the markets in smaller towns like Apt or Lourmarin, which offer a similar array of local products in a more relaxed and less crowded environment.

Save this post for your next trip to Provence to travel more authentically. ✨
And if you want to enhance your trip even more, consider consulting a local, they always know the good spots.💎

Looking for a more quiet spot close to Amsterdam? Marvin recommends Giethoorn✨ 🏘️ 🚣‍♂️

Giethoorn, often dubbed the "Venice of the Netherlands," is a picturesque village renowned for its enchanting waterways, thatched-roof cottages, and tranquil ambiance. 😌

Located in the province of Overijssel, this idyllic destination is characterized by its labyrinth of canals, which serve as the primary mode of transportation. Instead of roads, Giethoorn boasts over 170 wooden bridges that connect its charming houses and lush gardens, creating a fairy-tale-like atmosphere. 💫

Visitors can explore the village by traditional whisper boats, allowing them to glide silently through the serene waters, or by walking along the narrow footpaths. Giethoorn's unique charm and serene beauty make it a must-visit spot for those seeking a peaceful retreat in the heart of the Netherlands. 🇳🇱
