There are secrets to traveling well. Inside angles that experienced travelers have spent their lifetimes figuring out. These are the secrets of the savvy traveler. Never stay in the usual tourist hotels or resorts. Never shop where typical tourists get taken. Never eat run-of-the-mill, over-priced food where tourists eat. Tourists are a commodity, and they’re treated as such on the world market––a volume business. But the savvy traveler is a singular soul. He passes through unnoticed and is indistinguishable from the local population. He enjoys a place just as a local would enjoy it. He knows where to go, where to eat, where to sleep, and where to shop. He knows how to buy, how much to pay, when to haggle, and when to tip. He knows what to do in an emergency and recognizes a scam when he sees one. He gets the best deals and the best experiences. This book was written with the savvy traveler in mind.
