This is what an authentic local experience is

Seeing how tourists behave means they can be divided into groups .   What some people enjoy is visiting monuments, sunbathing, shopping and eating out or spending time with other tourists. They don´t care about locals and their culture, their motivation to have a good time is simply something else .   However, other kinds of travelers want to know about the people who live there. A tourist in this group likes to know about the culture of the place being visited, visit places that are not mentioned in guides and also meet locals.

When you travel do you not want to look like a tourist ? Are you the kind who avoids tourist sights and visits local places instead? Maybe you even try to learn the local language so that you can communicate with residents ?

If authentic local experiences are what you´re looking for during your trips, than you should try to contact local tour guides! These locals guides show you the authentic life, culture and traditions of the place. Why people want to cook like an Italian mama does? Why do people like to run with the bulls in Spain? Why do visitors eat a bug in a Mexican market?  Why do people ride a camel in a desert in Morocco? Why would people stay some weeks out of the world in a hidden community in Africa?

If you want to live all these extraordinary and authentic local experiences and really feel part of it, than you should travel on this way.  Locals know all these things that make your trip a brilliant experience, give you tips that can turn your trip into something to remember. Ask for a private guide before planning your trip and make this experience happen! Experience travelling as a local and try to live authentic local experiences not just as a tourist!
