Hello everyone!

I recently started to travel a lot for tourism and I always don’t know how to properly get the info about the place I’m visiting.

I don’t like guided tours so I thought to use Wikivoyage but the articles are so reductive in comparison to what you can find on Wikipedia that unfortunately doesn’t have a TTS option.

What do you use then? How do you organize yourself?

    My wife and I love to visit new places. We will generally prepare by asking friends who have visited what they liked and disliked, I would check the areas affiliated subreddit to get guidance from the locals, and do a little online searching to get a general feel for the city.

    Once there don’t be afraid to talk to people. Talk to a can driver, spark up a conversation at a cafe. Locals are almost always willing to share their favorite places with you since you’re a visitor to their city and they want to shed it in the best light.
