Travel Tip: Pretend You’re a Tourist at Home Between Trips

One of our favorite Miami attractions, the Giraffe Feeding Station at Zoo Miami. Just hold onto the bowl!

To avoid that itch to jump on a plane when you’re in between trips, here’s a travel tip: pretend you’re a tourist at home. By that, I don’t mean wear a camera around your neck and aimlessly wander the streets with a map in tropical print clothing in Miami. Instead, do a little research on what brings so many to see the sights in your own hometown and then make a list of places to explore. Start by googling “tourist attractions in…” the city you call home base. When I recently googled “tourist attractions in Miami” here are just a few things that came up: Miami Beach, Zoo Miami, American Airlines Arena (home of the Miami Heat and so many concerts), & Parasailing. Sadly, I can’t remember the last time I actually had my toes in the sand on Miami Beach. You can even check Zagat.com for the best restaurants the city has to offer by cuisine. This way, you’ll still feel like an adventurer between trips, have a new found love for your hometown, and easily be able to tell friends the things they shouldn’t miss in your city when they visit.
