My best travel memories are also from just wandering around a scene and soaking up the moment. I completely agree with this!

I've long been a fan of experiencing places and people, soaking up the atmosphere of the streets, getting caught up with the crowds at events, and just kicking back and taking in the vibe of a destination. And I've definitely noticed a trend toward this sort of local travel in recent years and a shift away from sightseeing. Destination NSW in Australia has actually just embarked on a campaign to promote Sydney in Winter that we've been a part of over the last seven weeks (wearing our Grantourismo hats), and, called 'Sydney, love every second', it's exactly about bottling those moments. It will be interesting to see how they use the content we've been creating over coming weeks/months, much of which has been made by travel bloggers, writers, filmmakers and photographers like us who've just been out and about experiencing the city.
