Travel

We are Marie & Daniel Santos – married travel addicts from Paris.

We believe that the future of traveling is about visiting local hot spots. not only popular tourist attractions. We are glad to share with you a number of places only known to locals. By experiencing cities like a local you will learn much more about the local traditions, culture and habits.

Over 7 years we've traveled, met and selected hundreds of spotters worldwide. They write about their favorite local hot spots in the city they really love.

We met each other while traveling in New York. It was a cold night in November and I didn’t want to go to my overcrowded hostel. Daniel was cycling on the quite street in the Bronx while I was walking the opposite way. Both of us just looked at each other, and I blurted out "You look Parisian!" in French.

Daniel stopped, we had a short talk and he invited me to a romantic local cafe nearby to have a cup of hot chocolate. After 5 minutes of talking he leaned over and kissed me!

The next day I followed in the footsteps of Daniel who showed me his favorite places to relax, eat and drink like a local. My local experience was exceptional and authentic. and over a glass of local wine, the plan for locals travel advisor hatched.

We started Locals.travel travel advisor a few days later. Our travel blog is a series of unique travel tips & PDF city guides with the best and always up to date tips spotted by locals who love their cities.

Every travel advisor is written by 4-6 local bloggers handpicked by us. Hundreds of Spotters from Europe & US write about their favorite spots in the city they really love (yes, we've traveled to all 59 cities, met and selected all our Spotters).

All travel hacks were spotted by real locals! Our writers are locals who live in the city (at least 5 years), speak the local language and know their city well.
