8 ways to travel like a local #8

We visit for free with the locals

Why is it good? Because these guides in the flesh are more alive than a book and above all the best placed to help us discover the good plans of their city, without jargon or formatted speech! To us unusual visits, authentic encounters, far from the queues of historical monuments...

For example ! With the greeters. These volunteer and passionate guides book themselves around the world on globalgreeternetwork.info for a visit of a few hours. In New York (where the movement was born) but also in Champagne-Ardenne where 39 greeters are ready to show you the Marne in a different way (greeters-en-champagne.com/fr). Also good, the program "Meet the people in Jamaica" (visitjamaica.com) or "People to people" in the Bahamas (bahamas.fr) for an unforgettable day with the locals:fishing trip, market visit... And the app "My Provence Bons Plans" to find out about local nuggets according to our areas of interest.
