Meet the locals

Bumping into people from your own shores while you’re abroad is (usually!) lovely. But let’s face it: you didn’t come half way across the world to meet them. The most exciting aspect of exploring a new country is meeting the people who live there, whose language, manners and traditions are a little strange to you. The trouble is, genuine interactions with local people can feel frustratingly hard to come by when you’re wrapped in the thick glossy cellophane of an average package holiday. That’s where TripLocator comes in. Choose from a range of activities on our site that will give you the opportunity for authentic interactions with local people. Be it a homestay with a neighbouring family, a knowledgeable local guide or a language exchange with someone in the area, we can fix you up with the most interesting people you can meet in a new country: those who call it home.
