As most of the people I know are going on to start their careers, I am still very unsure about what my future holds. So as I navigate this new post-grad life I have decided to go back to what I know and love - traveling. 

Growing up my family has always been traveling. I am only 21 years old and have already lived in 4 different countries across 3 separate continents and I am also a third-culture kid (check out <a href="https://www.facebook.com/markianb" > @Markian </a>   to learn more about what that means)!

To put it simply, I am a citizen of the world and I want to keep exploring it 🌍 

Among our numerous family travels we of course visited a lot of typical tourist attractions, but what really stood out to me were the many unique adventures we did that allowed us feel like we were experiencing a much more authentic and local way of living. For example trying all the local foods, being invited into people’s homes, learning about a city’s unique history and culture, and hearing so many amazing stories.

There is something so special about experiencing local lifestyles and embracing authentic adventures. I have learned so much through my years of traveling and I know there is still so much more to discover. This is why I love to travel. Traveling as a means to learn, to discover, to be curious. 

Additionally, to tell stories. Learning about different cultures, meeting new people, and understanding the world better. Not only will I be discovering the world, but I’ll also be discovering myself, my own background and culture, and finding where I belong. 

I plan to continue my family’s tradition by traveling the world and finding all the local people, spots, and adventures to share with you! I will explore hidden gems, find the best local businesses, and share people’s stories. You can follow all this (and more!) on this Top City Spots blog as well as my [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/kalinabenhamou/) and [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/kalinasbenhamou) pages.  

Now, more than ever, after our world has experienced a global pandemic, it is important to support small and local businesses. Focusing on sustainable travel to maintain healthy economies - but that’s a whole other blog post in itself… 

My goal right now is to discover what the world has to offer and share it with you. While I was graduating college so many people kept telling me that there is a world of opportunities out there… so let’s go explore! And make sure to DM me your favourite local spots in your city for me to visit!
