There’s something to be said for a traveller who’s always a tourist. And let me tell you, of all the places I’ve visited, I always hated exploring them like a tourist.

You miss out on so much and usually spend more than you should. That’s why I started TouristTales. So you can hear from my experience as a tourist and learn from all the mistakes I’ve made as a tourist experiencing new cities, towns, and cultures.

I’ve been traveling with a bag slung across my back since 2015 taking leap of faith after leap of faith. To be honest, I’ve made a lot of mistakes. I’ve been scammed once or twice, spent way too much money, and got sucked into the usual tourist attractions only to find myself disappointed.

So this blog’s for you. If you want to travel like a local and experience every new destination the best way possible, keep an eye out for my free itineraries, tips, and recommendations!
