How many times have you heard that phrase? After several years of improving my travel skills, I would have to apply “when in Rome” to many of my experiences. Seeing all the historic sites such as the Colosseum in Rome, the Louvre in Paris, Big Ben in London or even the Space Needle in Seattle is a major part of being a tourist, but isn’t my idea of being a traveler. While seeing all the sites, take the time for a passeggiata to the Spanish Steps, then hang out with the locals. Sip a café near Centre Pompidou for some people watching. Enjoy tacos al pastor topped with a slice of pineapple from a local street vendor in Puerto Vallarta. These are the moments that I enjoy most when travelling. Take a moment to experience how others live. I think you will relish having a break from the museums, canopy tours, or any other activity you may be doing with a bunch of fanny pack and goofy shirt wearing tourists. Set yourself apart and be a traveler. JJ
