I like travelling but I don't enjoy being an obvious tourist. I have never gone on group tours but I absolutely refuse to as well. It's like cramming for an exam - the tour guides are very helpful in explaining the important bits but we only touch on the "important bits." Maybe I want to explore the other sides too!
My latest trip to Paris (/pa.ˈʁi/) was perfect in that sense because I was hanging out with "the local" - my closest female cousin who lives in Lyon. I spent 8 days in Paris and will recommend a few places/things to do.
