Wonderful advice and something I agree with. You see more when you take your time

I’d agree with all the secrets, and would add one more: the best way to visit a place is to act as if you’ll be coming back again. Rick Steeves gave that piece of advice and I really like it. It has given me more of a “soak it in” feeling rather than a “check it off the list” feeling. I may see less, but I always enjoy my trips more.

That’s something I wish I did more, it takes a bit longer for me to come out of my shell.

My secret? I talk to everybody! I think sometimes we get so busy seeing things, and then writing about them, that we find stopping to have a conversation a distraction or an intrusion on our time. When this happens to me, I stop and reassess. Travel is so much more rewarding when I take time to really learn about a place from the viewpoint of the people who actually live there.

haha – I don’t like the fancy, fancy Indian restaurants. Seems like the smaller ones have better (and spicier) food

You know why I don’t go to Indian restaurants in Toronto? They are filled with non-Indians who rave about the food. LOL! I’m sure its good food but anyway. Somehow this ties in to your #2.

Thanks Donna. Restaurants are one of those hit or miss things. A hole in the wall can have great food or have no customers because the food or service is bad. I’ve found it’s hard to tell without giving it a try.

Great secrets revealed here. Following the locals is a valuable way to find the best locations, especially restaurants. On our road trips in the U.S., we avoid dining at a restaurant with no cars parked out front. That’s always a sign.

I had fun participating Katie. It was a good idea for a post and fun to read everyone else’s secrets too.
