The best place to start is by getting to know the people who call it home. Phurba says engaging with fellow travellers and locals is how you \u2018create lasting memories from your journey.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Soner Gul is a local leader in <a data-wpil=\"url\" href=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/turkey\">Turkey<\/a>, a country where being warm and generous to visitors is deeply ingrained in the culture. \u2018My advice for every traveller is this: when you visit a new country, take every opportunity to meet locals. I always encourage travellers in my group to connect with people from small towns and villages. That\u2019s when you\u2019ll truly understand a culture better, and that\u2019s when you\u2019ll have an amazing experience.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Intrepid trips centre around such experiences \u2013 from staying with families to taking part in community activities. Moroccan leader Hassan Errami says, \u2018immersing yourself in the local customs by trying traditional cuisine and engaging with the friendly locals will enhance your overall experience.\u2019<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">And respect the locals\u00a0<\/h2>\n<p>While meeting and interacting with locals is a big part of the Intrepid experience, it shouldn\u2019t be taken for granted. It\u2019s a privilege to be welcomed into someone\u2019s home and given a window into their culture or taught their traditions and crafts.<\/p>\n<p>The least travellers can do is to \u2018respect local customs and traditions, fostering positive interactions with the community,\u2019 says Phurba. <a data-wpil=\"url\" href=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/croatia\">Croatia\u2019s<\/a> Davor Karlovic shares a similar sentiment, asking visitors to \u2018always respect the local culture and environment.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Hassan also has advice for anyone looking to support local craftspeople and observing etiquette when taking part in local customs like haggling. \u2018Bargaining is a common practice in the markets (souks) of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/morocco\">Morocco<\/a>. However, it\u2019s important to do it respectfully and with a smile. Remember that both parties should feel satisfied with the final price.\u2019<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Plan ahead, but leave room for spontaneity <\/h2>\n<p>Intrepid\u2019s itineraries balance planned activities and free time to do your own exploring. Local leaders agree that having a blend of both makes for an unforgettable experience. \u2018Some of the best travel memories come from unplanned adventures, so leave room for serendipity,\u2019 says Andres.<\/p>\n<p>If you like to know what\u2019s happening day-to-day while travelling, Davor suggests \u2018researching and planning your trip, but leaving room for spontaneous adventures.\u2019 One way you can do that is by taking a page from Hassan\u2019s travel playbook. His top tip is to \u2018venture into the countryside. Take the time to explore the lesser-known regions for a more authentic experience.\u2019<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Andres-Castellanos2.jpg\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Andres-Castellanos2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-69638 lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Andres-Castellanos2.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Andres-Castellanos2-425x239.jpg 425w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Andres-Castellanos2-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Andres-Castellanos2-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Andres-Castellanos2-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Andres-Castellanos2-1170x658.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Andres-Castellanos2-585x329.jpg 585w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Andres-Castellanos2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-69638\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Andres-Castellanos2.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Andres-Castellanos2-425x239.jpg 425w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Andres-Castellanos2-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Andres-Castellanos2-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Andres-Castellanos2-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Andres-Castellanos2-1170x658.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Andres-Castellanos2-585x329.jpg 585w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"> \u2018Some of the best travel memories come from unplanned adventures, so leave room for serendipity,\u2019 says Colombian local leader, Andres Castellanos.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Always leave room for a meal\u00a0<\/h2>\n<p>Breaking bread with someone is often the simplest way to make a connection and the easiest place to begin. As Phurba says, all you need to do is \u2018dive into the local cuisine for an authentic experience and keep a flexible itinerary to allow for discoveries.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>In places where food is at the heart of the country\u2019s culture, this is especially true \u2013 it pays to be adventurous and try out stuff you haven\u2019t done before. In <a data-wpil=\"url\" href=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/italy\">Italy<\/a>, Matteo feels people understand that better than most. \u2018A meal is never just about filling your belly. It\u2019s a ritualistic experience. It\u2019s a way of forging connections in a communal vibe surrounded by history and heritage,\u2019 he says.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reach out to your local leader\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/h2>\n<p>Travelling with Intrepid is all about gaining a new perspective on the places and cultures you visit. Vuong Truong, a local leader from Vietnam, feels the best way to do that is to ask. \u2018My best travel tip is to never mind having questions for your leader, especially about the country, because the more questions you ask, the better experiences and knowledge you\u2019ll have.\u2019<\/p>\n<p><strong>Follow in the footsteps of a local leader on your <a data-wpil=\"url\" href=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/\">next adventure<\/a>. <\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Passionate local leaders are at the heart of every Intrepid trip.
