GET PSEUDO LOST
If you really want to immerse yourself in a culture or city the best advice I can give is to get “lost.” I put this in quotations because in this day and age it’s pretty hard to actually get really lost. However, jump on a metro, spin around in a circle, and get off at whatever stop your finger lands on. You will be refreshed by the normalcy of the neighborhoods you end up in as well as getting the chance to observe ordinary people in their everyday environment. These are also the times to stop by a local café or bar and speak with the workers. Practice a new language, chat about life over a drink. Breathe it all in and experience the perfection of moments like this, they will last a lifetime.
