"We didn't know about that cool exhibition, happening right when we were there!".... but we missed it" - Do NOT let this happen again. Talk to a local friend that is aware and can advice you according to your preferences.

The value of your time triples when you are traveling. Mainly because you don't have a second chance. There is no room for mistakes.

You may get a cheaper taxi - eventually. But you will most likely increase your travel spending as you don't know the local secrets, the savings, or the hidden costs.

Traveling is discovering. And discovering the best from every place and moment is, frankly speaking, priceless.

You may forget the name of the streets, but you will not forget the fantastic feeling of what you enjoyed and lived. Earn memories, not miles.

Yep. Your friend will share with you his wifi connection if needed.
