60. Follow the Locals
You need a relationship with locals
Est. Cost: $0*
Tourist traps can drain your bank account faster than any Louis Vuitton shop. How can you avoid falling victim to the malicious locals who are out to get you? You can live like the locals. Try asking a local, or the staff at a hostel/hotel for suggestions instead of spending your money on mediocre things that tourist blogs suggest.

You will find hidden gems for a fraction of the price if you follow their advice. Befriending the locals is a great way to make a new friend and return home with them!
