about us

The Localist is an online travel and culture magazine, with an emphasis on storytelling and personal experiences.

It is a resource for travellers – those who travel by foot, bus, train or plane, and those who travel in their minds, as they read about far away places and peoples while sitting in their armchairs or propped up in bed.

The Localist gives “locals” a voice. All posts about particular countries and/or cities are written by locals. We want to give readers an opportunity to find out where the locals go, what the locals think, and how the locals experience life.

Experience the world from a local’s perspective.
