Real neighbourhood life draws you more than tourist sights. You love trips where vendors slip you a little extra, you chat with the owner of an old diner and you linger in a back-street café. You're happiest sharing small discoveries with the people you're with.
Travel strengths
- ✓You make friends with strangers quickly
- ✓You come back with tips and stories only locals know
- ✓You set a mood that puts the whole group at ease
Common pitfalls, and the fix
- Lingering too long in one place pushes the schedule back→ keep each day within a single neighbourhood
- Local shops close on all sorts of days→ check closing days for the ones you really want to visit
