If you’re a longtime reader of Wandering Educators, you know that we espouse traveling like a local. By getting off the beaten path, and learning to live like locals, you’ll have a much richer journey. We especially love meeting locals when we travel – for they are the essence of a place. With suggestions from locals, you’ll find the best places to eat, play, and discover. But where to find the best places to stay – and meet locals?

The smoke envelops the entire valley, and the fire lights up the remaining forest in an orange glow. The open air restaurant smells like smoke, and visibility is remarkably low.
