🗺️ Local Legend
Be a tourist where you live. Six things visitors do in your city that you never have.
You know your commute, your corner shop, and the fastest way home when it rains. You probably do not know the view from the top of your own skyline, or which building on your street has been standing the longest.
This badge costs almost nothing and needs no flights. It only asks you to walk around a familiar place with a stranger's eyes for a while.
Mark each item when you have genuinely done it. The sightseeing bus only counts from the top deck.
Milestones
-
Ride the sightseeing bus
The open-top tourist loop around your own city. Top deck, audio guide on, no shame.
-
Eat where the guidebooks send people
The restaurant every visitor is told about. Find out whether the hype is deserved.
-
Visit the oldest building still standing
Every city has one. Look up when it went up, then go and put a hand on the wall.
-
Ride a transit line end to end
Pick a bus or metro route and stay on well past your usual stop, all the way to the terminus.
-
Climb to the highest public viewpoint
A tower, a hill, a car park roof. Anywhere you can pick out your own street from above.
-
Ask a stranger for their favourite spot
A barista, a bus driver, someone walking a dog. Then actually go where they send you.
