]]>Put on your “tourist” hat and approach your city with fresh eyes. Leave behind the routines and familiar routes. Wander aimlessly through streets you’ve never walked before, peek into alleyways, and let your curiosity guide you. Rediscover your city as if you were seeing it for the first time.
Unlock the insider secrets of your city by asking locals for their favorite spots. Strike up conversations with shopkeepers, baristas, or fellow travelers, and be open to their suggestions. You’ll be surprised by the hidden cafes, quirky boutiques, and lesser-known attractions that may have escaped your notice.
Every city has a rich history and cultural heritage waiting to be explored. Visit museums, historic landmarks, and art galleries to delve into the stories of your city’s past. Attend local festivals, concerts, and theater performances to immerse yourself in the vibrant cultural scene.
Food is a gateway to the soul of a city. Treat your taste buds to a gastronomic adventure by exploring the diverse culinary offerings your city has to offer. Try that new trendy café, indulge in street food, or savor traditional dishes passed down through generations. Let your city’s flavors surprise and delight you.
Escape the concrete jungle and discover the natural beauty that surrounds your city. Seek out parks, gardens, and nature trails where you can breathe in fresh air, feel the sun on your face, and marvel at the wonders of the natural world. Connect with nature and find serenity in the midst of urban chaos.

]]>There are so many amazing places and buildings we walk by almost every day without even noticing all that beauty around us. Exploring your city as a tourist is a great way to hear some interesting stories and learn more about history.
Exploring your city and visiting local museums and other tourist attractions is always a great opportunity to meet new interesting people from around the world.
Unlike most of our other dream travels that are usually very expensive, being a tourist in your own city is free. Apart from paying for food and transportation, which is relatively cheap, you won’t have any other hidden expenses for this local adventure.
Traveling to a foreign country always requires a lot of research and organization, which can take up a lot of your time. Exploring your city, on the other hand, is something you can do pretty much anytime and you can afford to be spontaneous, which is always more adventurous.

]]>Travelers can choose from various alternatives, including a luxury tourist bus or trains—but there is nothing like experiencing Nepal by using a local bus.
Nepal’s local bus system is unique. The ride on a local bus in Nepal can be very long and sometimes it takes more than 24 hours to travel from one spot to the next!
So, if you have chosen to travel this way, you must stock up on enough food and water, as glitches can happen along the way and you may find yourself on the road for longer than you expected.
This magical way to travel allows you to see Nepal in a way you would not otherwise get. If you have chosen to travel this way, you should also be patient with glitches and be flexible to changes in schedules, and understand that sometimes the road is the real journey.

]]>Let’s be honest, when was the last time you have been to your local museums? We assume it’s been a long time ago. So why not give them a visit? There are always new and exciting exhibitions worth seeing. So, next stop: your local museum.
You have passed by that old-school-looking building a million times, but what can you say about it? Do you know its history? When was it built, or by who? Do a little research. You will be surprised with all the info you can learn.
An old church is always a good place to see. Have you ever been to your local synagogue? What do you know about its history?
Who was the person whose name bears the biggest and most famous street in your city? Check it out, and play tourist for one day. For example, revisit your favorite shops and boutiques.

]]>If you want to live like a local for a few days (or weeks), try out these tips to make sure that you live your best life traveling.
Although Belarus doesn’t have any nearby beaches like in Koh Phangan or Fiji – you can find multiple watersports to do in their lakes. You might want to try fishing in Mogilev or even renting a kayak!
Since the country has 19,000 rivers, there are so many places to ride a canoe on. If you want to have the full experience – try camping out to be fully immersed in nature.
The capital of Belarus is home to Stalinist-inspired buildings and architecture. It’s a great place to walk around on foot with its wide pavements and picturesque rivers.
The people of Minsk are quite friendly, so feel free to ask the locals for any tips on getting around the city.
It’s always a good idea to join a walking tour to have the local experience. Instead of opting for large group tours – free walking tours offer you an insight through the eyes of a local.
