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.
