Have you heard of Triptrotting? It is a very cool travel concept that allows anyone to experience any destination as a local. Here’s a quick explanation of how it works:

a. You create a profile
b. Connect with “hosts” in cities you will be visiting that match your personality profile.
c. Meet your host for coffee chat or a even a tour
d. Experience a new, exciting destination as a local citizen.

With all of the friendships I’ve made online through the years, this totally makes sense to me.

Of course, you can also do it the other way around. Not your thing? Tell someone you know about it then!
