Hi friend, Before I commit to visiting anywhere new, I ask myself one question: "What story does this place actually tell?" Not the version you see on Instagram - the real one. I started doing this after too many trips where I checked off the highlights but left feeling like I'd only seen the surface. The picturesque town square. The famous viewpoint. The restaurant everyone posts about. And that's all fine, but it's not what I'm looking for anymore. Now I look for places with layers....
