These guides to travel "like a local" always sound patronising and demeaning.
It's almost short of saying travel "like a poor" and reminds me of rich middle class coming to deprived parts of town to have pint with the locals to hear how they struggle and at the same time feel better about themselves.
- biftek 4y agoThat's the real issue I have with this article. I think it's possible to have a considered approach to an off the beaten path style of travel, but writing a "holier than thou" article about it doesn't seem like it tho.
