Vacations are a time of pure freedom, a chance to escape our busy lives and do whatever we want, wherever we want. However, it's strange that we all seem to spend our precious time doing the same things. We flock to the same cities, cluster around the same attractions, and visit the same picturesque neighborhoods that can't handle the influx.

"How to Be a Better Tourist" offers a fresh perspective on making your vacation truly worthwhile. After all, what if all your vacations seem to be getting more and more the same? What if being a tourist is suddenly no longer quite as innocent as it first seemed? Or what if your long list of must-sees actually stresses you out?

As the writer Elbert Hubbard put it, "No man needs a vacation so much as the man who has just had one." In this book, you'll discover why you should perhaps stay at home, why you need to work while on vacation, and why tourists should visit supermarkets and residential districts too.

Our typical vacation behavior of visiting the maximum number of highlights in the minimum amount of time is rarely the most rewarding. "How to Be a Better Tourist" helps you get the most out of your stay without damaging the soul of your destination. Ultimately, an imaginatively considered vacation is a genuinely rewarding experience.
