We all have our own agendas when we travel and visit a particular place. Sometimes these set itineraries can hinder you from enjoying your travel experience. Make sure you get the most out of your travels by remembering these things to do when going to a new place. 


Try out local delicacies.
Are you very specific when it comes to planning where and what to eat on your trip? There is nothing wrong with being detailed, and doing research on the best places to eat is a good thing, but it can also hinder you from having an authentic travel experience. Set aside one day where you have your meals at a cute bistro you just happened to stumble upon. Ask the locals for a good place to eat their hometown’s specialty. You may discover a wondrous new place to dine.


Talk to the locals.
The best way to experience a place is through the eyes of those who know it best and have lived there for most, if not all, their lives. Talking to and befriending the locals can make your trip more special because they know things you won’t find on a website or blog. Thus they can give you vital information first-hand and let you in on secrets only the locals know.

Shop in a public market.
Since you are coming from a whole different place, the food and the assortment of things you can buy at the local market can be drastically different and also cheaper from your normal haunts in your hometown. So make sure to experience the market and buy what the locals do.
