Avoid The Tourist Trap: Travel Like a Local

Travel with smaller budgets and bigger experiences — learn how to eat, walk, and breathe like you belong.

About the show

Avoid The Tourist Trap is for travelers who are tired of paying premium prices for mediocre experiences. Each episode focuses on a specific region — from the villages of Saint-Émilion and Sarlat in southwestern France, to Mexico’s less-traveled states, to budget-friendly corners of Europe — and shares exactly what to do, what to eat, where to walk, and what to skip.

The hosts speak multiple languages, grew up across cultures, and believe that the best travel is built on cross-pollinating ideas. If you plan trips, dream about them, or want to make your next one radically better without spending more, this show is for you.

Who this show is for

  • You want to travel deeper and spend less without sacrificing the experience.
  • You love hearing from hosts who actually speak the language and understand the culture.
  • You're planning a European or Latin American trip and want local-level intel.
  • You've been burned by generic tourist advice and want something more human.

About the host

Hosted by Kev and Gonz, a multilingual and multicultural duo who have traveled across Europe, Latin America, and North America in search of the experiences that guidebooks miss. They break down costs, cultural etiquette, and the practical moves that turn a trip from generic sightseeing into something you actually remember.
