Party with the Locals!
Look, we’re not going to tell you how to enjoy your vacation. Perhaps you’re one of those people that likes to stay in their hotel room during the entirety of their vacation. We’re not going to judge, but if you really want to go out and see the sights, there’s nothing like spending some time with the locals.
The app Party with a Local used to connect travelers with English-speaking locals in other countries, but it went belly-up in 2021. Instead, what you can do is scour the internet for groups in your destination country and see who’s willing to be your pro-bono tour guide. Reddit is a great place to start your search.
