Back home in Colorado, USA, I took a job in a b&b where they signed me up for a class with the Denver tourism board so I could be a better resource for our guests. I learned so much that I never knew about the city and went on tour of places I wouldn't have thought of visiting in the process. We all get complacent in our home towns, often wondering why anyone would want to visit because it's nothing special to us. I housesit in Denver now when we go back to visit family, and I love getting to explore new neighborhoods. I would encourage everyone to be a tourist in their home town, especially if vacation is out of reach. They might be surprised what they learn.

Well said, Alicia. We need to look not just see.
