5 Signs You’re A Tourist, Not A Traveler

The rise of sharing life experiences when visiting foreign countries has sparked a global desire for travel.

As a generation of travelers, cultural intelligence skills are on the rise. However, not all fit the traveler profile; some are simply tourists with photography skills.

Characteristics of a tourist include booking five-star hotels, dining at fancy restaurants, relying on cabs, avoiding interactions with locals, and sticking to popular tourist attractions.

To truly experience a new culture, opt for authentic accommodations, eat at local spots, embrace public transport, engage with locals, and explore off-the-beaten-path activities. Break free from tourist stereotypes and immerse yourself in the true essence of a destination.
