Non-touristic doesn't mean you have to live like a local. Let me give you an example. When we were traveling in Cuba, we met a fellow Flemisch guy, who seemed to know a lot of locals. We started talking. He was there visiting his ex-wifes Cuban family. He and his ex-brother in law invited us for dinner at their house in Santiago de Cuba. One of the best experiences I had, and I don't consider such a thing "touristic". You're not talking to a tour guide there. A lot of times, the locals are very happy to interact with you. And coming from a western country, it always surprised me how welcoming other, poorer countries are.
