I'm so glad you brought that up. Be specific in what sort of recommendations you want. So I think we should pivot to how to get recommendations. And I have to say my number one pet peeve is I see this in online posts on Reddit, even in work Slack channels where someone will say something like, I'm going to Hawaii. What do I do? Yeah.

There are 500 people in this Slack channel who we don't even know who you are. What are your interests? First off, where in Hawaii are you going to? What island are you going on? What's your budget? Do you like to drink? Do you like to be active? Do you like none of the above? So when you are searching for recommendations, definitely be specific about all of those things.

No matter where you are asking for recommendations, whether it's online in a local subreddit or to a large group of friends, be specific about what you want.

One of my other best ways to get recs is by actually going to locals. And if you don't know any locals, you might have a hotel concierge who's very friendly and can be a local. One tip that I actually read in Nomadic Matt's book, he has a book called How to Travel the World for $75 a day. So I'm stealing this tip from him.

But he says, ask the hotel concierge not where should I go to eat, but where would you go to eat? That way they send you to the cool hole in the wall, not to like Rainforest Cafe.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes. I love that. Yeah.

Interesting. I do like ChatGPT to get some general advice, but I do find that it can be a little difficult sometimes to really understand that full itinerary that you have where you're staying. Again, though, it goes back to being specific. So a lot of travel websites will just list the top 10 attractions in San Francisco, and they're all spread apart.
