Love your city?  Got local secrets to share?  Passionate about travel and storytelling?

We want to hear from you.

At Trip Like A Local, we’re building a community of writers, creatives, and explorers who believe that the best travel advice comes from people who actually know the place. Our contributors create personal, practical guides for travelers who want to skip the tourist traps and connect with real experiences.

Whether you're a lifelong local, a part-time resident, or a traveler who has built a deep bond with a place - we invite you to share your favorite spots and help others travel with purpose and respect.

What We’re Looking For

We’re not trying to be TripAdvisor or churn out generic top 10 lists. We’re after honest, thoughtful, personal travel content that shows people how to experience a destination in a deeper way.

✅ Personal itineraries (1–5 days in a city or region)
✅ Neighborhood spotlights
✅ Local food guides
✅ Outdoor adventures and hikes
✅ Family-friendly activities
✅ Responsible travel tips
✅ Local legends, art, history, and culture
✅ Tips on avoiding overtourism and traveling respectfully
