How to Have Local Travel Experiences


Brit Olom Tours Miami, FL knows just how much everybody can learn and grow from traveling the world and has focused this month’s post on enjoying the world like a local. Below are two more great tips to follow.

Resist Your Native Language

There is no doubt that learning a new language is a difficult challenge at any age, but when you are only traveling for a few weeks then the difficulty can often outweigh the desire.

The next time you travel, use a language learning app or tools and learn the basics, such as:
  • Greetings
  • Number sets (tens, hundreds, thousands, etc.)
  • Basic gestures (I want, Do you have, You can, I can, etc.)
Learning just a small amount of local language will not only help you to feel more immersed in your travels but it can often result in lower prices and friendlier interactions with locals.

Take Tours

The idea of arriving at a country and finding your way around is appealing, however, not always practical. This can lead a traveler to spend much of their time trying to find what they should see and do instead of actually seeing and doing it.

Before you leave, speak with a travel agency who can book a range of tours which show you places you would never have thought to visit, such as homestays in local villages and tours to remote areas not visited by solo tourists.
