The Art of Being a Tourist at Home: Expand Your World Without Leaving Your Home Town

The Art of Being a Tourist at Home takes you on a journey through your neighbourhood streets and local parks, through museums and libraries, art galleries and bookshops. There`s wonder to be found in the theatre and music-making all around us, vibrancy of fresh-food markets, new friends to meet through hobbies and clubs, and so many lifetime learning opportunities to be had – all without the stress involved in planning a holiday. After all, why do we travel in the first place? It`s an urgent question in these days of climate crisis and global instability. Staying closer to home makes good sense: it`s cheaper, easier, less stressful and better for our health as well as the health of the planet. But The Art of Being a Tourist at Home doesn`t suggest that we should abandon all future travel plans. Instead, it shows travellers of all kinds how we can still harness the spirit of travel through the art of the `staycation`. With beautiful illustrations throughout, The Art of Being a Tourist at Home demonstrates that travelling at home offers the greatest potential for us to discover what contributes to our wellbeing and our happiness.
