Tourist Town

Everyone should live in a tourist town - at least once.

I know this is a generalization, and some people would really hate it, but it gives you an interesting perspective of the world.


  • Visitors act "entitled" - granted this town relies on tourism dollars. There is just no need to remind the locals of this. Act as you would at home.
  • You get to meet people from all over the world. 
    • I've meet a couple whom lives in Singapore - she is Brazilian, he is German
    • An English woman whom was also vacationing alone (I'm not the only one whom travels alone!)
    • Tons of Californians
    • A couple from Fiji
  • Live like a local  - see what the locals are doing and join them. You might learn a new hobby.
  • The other day a group of locals were walking with paddles, away from an evening paddle group. They had a smile from ear to ear. I know that feeling. When you see it, ask if you can join next time. (although, this would have me paddling twice a day!) 
  • Offer to take visitors pictures. Someone always gets left out of the picture. Usually it's the mom. They get a picture with their whole group. And you, the picture taker might actually make some new friends.
Try it once.
