This week: Break free of the crowds and visit these destinations.
Travel like a local
When you think about travelers coming to your hometown – is there a spot you just avoid at all costs because it is over-visited? New Yorkers avoid Times Square. Parisians scoff at the Eiffel Tower. As a resident of Arizona and an avid hiker, you’ll never find me among the crowds at Camelback Mountain.
And, of course, some of these spots – like Venice and Hawaii – are also getting overloved and over-toured. So how, as a traveler, do you break free of the crowds so we’re not all loving these places to death?
I’m excited to introduce a new series designed to help you zig when other travelers zag and perhaps spread the love of popular destinations to other parts of the country. Called “Where locals go,” we talk to our team of in-country contributors who will offer their suggestions of other places to visit.
We’re starting this series by looking at Italy – where three of our writers offer you recommendations of where locals plan their summer holidays to truly experience la Dolce Vita.
Follow Iraq’s newest long-distance hiking route in Kurdistan
With its travel warnings, Iraq is hardly known for being a destination for casual travelers – let alone for hiking – but the creators of the Zagros Mountain Trail, which passes through 35 communities each with homestays and local guides, have ensured that the trail remains rooted in place.
In this remote Canadian national park, rich in stunning wild landscapes, Liz Beatty takes you to the ancestral lands of the Indigenous Northern Labrador Inuit people, as they reclaim their roots and work with researchers studying climate change.
We were thrilled to receive so many responses to last week’s call for travel questions — like this one from John in the USA who asked about the visa process for Nigeria.
There's still time to submit a question. Look for answers in upcoming newsletters and social media posts!
