Buy Local When You’re Abroad
Whether you’re in another state or another country, you owe it to yourself to seek out the unique aspects of that location and culture. But to find the character and quirks of your destination, you’ll have to explore beyond the hotel lobby. FOOD Why have a cheeseburger from a fast- food chain when you can try a local favorite? A great way to start is by asking your taxi driver or hotel concierge about their favorite place to eat. You’ll discover new foods and flavor combinations, and the locally owned restaurant is sure to appreciate your business! ART Just as your town probably has local artisans who produce unique and interesting work, the same is true for your vacation destination. Anyone can get a
gift shop bauble that was mass-produced somewhere else. Take the time to peruse market stalls and craft fairs while you travel. It can lead you to some truly special souvenirs, and you’ll support the arts and traditions of the region! PEOPLE While you’re sampling local restaurants and exploring markets, you’ll meet plenty of local people. Don’t be afraid to strike up a friendly conversation. You can make new friends around the globe and learn about their unique experiences. One of the most enriching experiences in life is meeting new people and gaining new perspectives. MEMORIES Treasured memories are the best souvenir you can bring home from any vacation. So get out and explore! Your life will be that much richer!
The virtues of buying locally sourced food and supporting small businesses have been widely extolled. However, we rarely think to apply the same practices when we travel. Many Americans select all-inclusive packages when planning their vacations, but doing so means they’ll miss out on some of the best aspects of the culture they’re visiting.
Part of the joy of traveling is having new experiences you can’t have at home.
