You travel for depth, not breadth. One neighbourhood for a week beats five cities in the same time. The famous sights can wait — the side street that leads nowhere is exactly where you want to be. You measure a trip not by how much you saw, but by how completely you disappeared into a place.

What works, what frustrates
What works for you
🍵
Long, unhurried mornings in the same café until the staff know your order.
🏘
Residential neighbourhoods over tourist districts — real life, not performance.
📖
Time to read, write, and simply sit — places that reward stillness.
What frustrates you
🏃
Packed itineraries that treat a city like a checklist to complete.
🚌
Group tours on someone else’s schedule and someone else’s pace.
📸
Sight-ticking — rushing to photograph a landmark and immediately leaving.
Destinations that fit
“The traveler sees what he sees. The tourist sees what he has come to see.”
— G.K. Chesterton
