If your hunger for immersing yourself in local color has been piqued over the past day or so, schedule some solo time. A desire to charge into heated discussions or seek out new neighborhood gems is a good thing. But if you’ve found yourself debating with the cashier or bustling when you should still be resting, pause. Instead of identifying with only the happenings nearest to you, tap into your sense of purpose away from the crowds as well. Recharging will make your banter more impactful when you return.
