After years of being cooped up in our homes, many of us have been and continue to be bitten by the travel bug. We’ve come across social media posts of beautiful destinations waiting to be explored—but the question is, how are we going to have a memorable or unique experience?

Bard can definitely help you spark unique ideas for your next trip. Let’s start by asking Bard, “Hi, Bard! Can you help me create an off-the-beaten path travel itinerary?” Here is Bard’s response:
Do your research
The first step is to do your research on your chosen destination. Look for information on smaller towns, cultural festivals, villages, and natural attractions that are often overlooked by tourists. You can find this information in travel blogs, guidebooks, and social media groups.
Talk to locals
Once you have a few ideas of places to visit, talk to locals to get their recommendations. They can tell you about hidden gems that are not well-known to tourists. You can find locals to talk to at your hotel, at restaurants, and on the street.
Take a cooking class
Food is a mirror of a country’s culture. Get to know the place’s culture in a more personal way by learning how to cook or trying out their unique dishes.
Be flexible
When traveling off the beaten path, it is important to be flexible with your itinerary. Things may not always go according to plan, and that is part of the adventure. Be prepared to change your plans if necessary, and enjoy the unexpected.
