They're hard to miss. Fanny packs, Hawaiian shirts, giant maps -- everyone knows a tourist when they see one. And if you live in a big city with lots of tourists like I do, then you try your hardest to avoid them, unless of course, they suddenly stop in the middle of the street to look at a map and you unavoidably crash into them.
It isn't often that tourists are described as savvy or smart. Yet, when you travel, it's impossible not to be a tourist. So what to do?
Ditch the Hawaiian shirts, the fanny pack and the giant map (seriously, none of those make for a good look anyway). And while you're tossing things out, throw out all those guidebooks. When I first started traveling, I bought all those books too, and while carrying them everywhere almost broke my back, they were never really of much use.
What is of use is a fresh look at the basics and insider knowledge of top travel destinations, all of which you will be able to find right here on my blog. And with all this knowledge, you can be the best kind of tourist there is: a smart tourist.
Check back soon for my next post on the fundamentals of staying safe while traveling.
