Why Play Tourists In Your Own Town?
First of all, it’s a great way to discover new things without having to pay a lot of money on gas and plane tickets since it’s around the corner (well… more or less for some people, but hey! It’s always closer than having to travel to another city, isn’t it?). Every town has a history and you and your significant other can start learning about it by reading its Wikipedia page or its website. If you’re lucky, you’ll discover that there are historic sites and monuments in your town that you can visit to learn about its history. Take the opportunity to join a guided tour. Now you’ve got your next date idea!
Your town also has hidden gems worth discovering, such as a park, neighborhood, bike trail, restaurant, café, bar, library, viewpoint or shopping center you’ve never visited. It can be handy to stop by the library or surf the Web to find a guidebook of your town and create your own bucket list of attractions to visit. Playing tourists in your hometown is an excellent opportunity to strengthen your sense of belonging and create memories with your partner that will last a lifetime.
