Destinations

As I mentioned on the home page, the Destinations section—the heart of La Vida Local—is very much a work in progress. For each destination, I try to create an in-depth guide that will help travellers slip under the skin of a city, whether you'd like to brief yourself about local news, get the scoop on upcoming concerts or find a great residential neighbourhood where tourists rarely venture. You won't find much here about major sites and attractions. It's not that I have anything against visiting the Eiffel Tower or Central Park—in fact, you should! It's just that there are tons of other websites, books and chat forums that already provide sightseeing tips. The destination guides on La Vida Local will help you find your own secluded places after you've "been there and done that."

First on the list: Paris. The next two sections, Buenos Aires and New York, will be coming soon. Destinations to be profiled after that include Ottawa, Amsterdam and Montserrat. Stay tuned!
