Exploring your own hometown can be just as exciting as visiting a far-away destination that you’ve always dreamed of. Here are a few good reasons why you should take some time and becoming a tourist in your own city.

A Different Perspective

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.

Meet New People

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.

It’s Free

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.

You Don’t Need Plan

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.

The difference between traveling like a tourist and traveling like a local is a big one. While being a tourist is great—shaking off the limitations of retail tourism can be a real eye-opener, as it can allow you to be absorbed into the culture as much as possible. The current global crisis has taught us about the impact of over-tourism. Now is the time to seek out those less traveled paths…

I Like Local aims to do just that, striving to bridge the gap between cultures and bring people together so as to create deeper connections and lasting memories. The online platform is a responsible travel marketplace allowing travelers to directly connect with locals and book authentic stays and experiences.

According to their website, 100% of the money asked by local hosts is paid to them, offering locals a sustainable way to earn money and provide travelers with in-depth travel experiences. “We believe in the transformational power of travel. Immersing in the life of locals facilitates better understanding and gives travelers a new perspective,” they write on their website.

“We’re not a traditional company,” they explain. “We are a company with new principles that prepares for a different, more sustainable way of doing business.

“What drives us is connecting people from different cultures and different walks of life to create that energy sparkle that makes us oh-so-happy, and that leaves us with a memorable travel experience,” they add. “At the same time, we want to leave a positive footprint and create value.”

Sounds like a plan!

Staycations became everyone’s favorite form of travel in the last few months, but it may feel like you don’t have anything new to discover after a while. After covering major attractions in your country, use these tips to discover its best hidden gems.

Follow the Geotags

Instagram can be an amazing source of travel inspiration if you use it properly. Pay close attention to geotags on your friends’ travel posts and stories, and try following a couple of pages that specialize in tourism in your country.

Do Your Research

If you’re planning a trip outside your hometown, don’t hit the road before doing proper research. Put some time aside to discover all the best attractions in the city or area you’re visiting and see if there are any nice spots you can check out on the way.

Ask the Locals

At the end of the day, there are always some beautiful places that Google won’t tell you about. Luckily, you can ask the locals to point you in their direction and discover amazing new spots that most people don’t know about yet.
