My Adventure Store recommends - The World According To G

Don't just visit, move right in!

If you want to experience a culture in-depth, G Adventures' Local Living trips are for you. These meaningful small-group travel experiences are centered around a comfortable, unique home base and deliver an excellent balance of spontaneous situations, personal encounters with local people and their culture, ready-to-go activities, and a level of insider access you couldn't get by renting a home or cottage on your own.

Intimate adventures deep inside great destinations

Adventurers come in all ages, origins, and income levels. G Adventures' groups are diverse, which is one of the things that makes them so special. The one thing all of G Adventures' travellers have in common, though, is that they hate being herded around like tourists. Local Living is a unique concept that puts a refreshing spin on the traditional small-group travel concept. Have a look at what makes it different from the rest.

Centre-Based Travel

You won't stray too far from your home-away-from-home on a Local Living trip, which is entirely the point. The centrepiece of each trip is a charming and unique home base steeped in local character and atmosphere; just unpack once and start getting the lay of the land.

Character-Rich Accommodations

G Adventures picks accommodations that reflect the character of the place you're in whenever possible, and often you've got the entire place to yourselves. You could find yourself bunking down at an agriturismo overlooking the Amalfi Coast, aboard a French canal boat, or in a traditional Mongolian ger on the steppe.

Plenty Of Room Options

Most of the properties G Adventures uses on Local Living trips are converted homes or farms, and as a result feature a variety of room types, from master bedrooms with private bathrooms or twins with shared bathrooms. In the more out-there regions, rooms are determined by the location, such as tents in Kenya.

Regional Cuisine

Designed with foodies in mind, most Local Living trips feature cooking lessons or demonstrations with local experts to give you an intimate introduction to the local cuisine. These trips feature more included meals than your typical G Adventures trip and can include anything from a jungle lunch cooked in bamboo to a picnic pulled together at the market.

Skilled CEOs & Hosts

Your Chief Experience Officer (CEO) and local hosts are well-versed in the inner workings of your destination and are always available to answer any questions. Need a restaurant recommendation? A good hiking route? Directions back to that amazing courtyard you discovered yesterday? Just ask. Your CEOs and hosts are well-connected.

Helpful Starts

The grocery store is often the first sight most travellers see when they're lodging outside a major city. Not here. On most Local Living trips, breakfast is either included or your CEO will equip you with a starter kit of essentials and local delicacies at the beginning of your stay, so you won't have to rush around in search of a market as soon as you arrive.

Global Groups

Local Living groups are limited to a maximum of 16 travellers per departure (and are usually way less), and are often a mix of solo travellers, friends travelling together and couples, all of varying ages and from all over the world. You'll find just about every type of person in your group. Come prepared to make plenty of new best friends.

Freedom & Independence

Local Living itineraries provide a nice balance of freedom and structure. G Adventures includes most of the regional highlights and arrange activities to fill most of your days, but you're always free to opt out of the planned events and relax or go explore on your own. Your CEO keeps a cheat-sheet of suggestions in case you're stuck.
