S2E3: Like a Local (Authentic Travel Experiences)
In Season 2 Episode 3 of the Attempt Adventure Podcast, hosts James Barrett and Michael Desrosiers discuss whether or not it is truly possible as a tourist or traveler to experience a place like a local. They also give their tips and suggestions based on James' travels and Michael's experience living abroad as a long-term expat as to how to go about approaching the difficult task of immersing themselves in a local culture.
