as much as possible, ask for advice and recommendations from people who live around the area. you’ll be able to experience the area through the eyes of a resident.
and then think about your experience as a resident of your hometown or current location: how well do you really know your own area?
when you get home, live like a study abroad student (but more budget-conscious)
I call it the Bon Jovi theory.
“Whoa-oh, we’re halfway there,
Whoa-oh, livin’ on a prayer.”
Halfway through shouldn’t be “oh no we’re almost done.”
Think, everything you’ve learned and experienced in the first half of your stay, you’ll have just as much more time to have that many more experiences, explore that many more places, and by the time you go home, you’ll have doubled your adventures. Use the second half to do again the things you’ve enjoyed most, try things you haven’t done yet, and visit places you haven’t seen yet.
