Traveling can be hard sometimes. I mean wearing your backpack all the time, visiting thousands of sights, walking through streets the whole day, taking trains and planes and buses non-stop – all that stuff can be exhausting.

Be honest, have you ever really been to the real touristy stuff in your hometown, the city you live in or the closest larger city? More than just driving by on your way to work?
