I feel like I am finally experiencing my city for the first time! If you have lived in your town for a little while, yet feel burned out like you have done everything there is to do, you may want to download the Near to Here iPhone app. This is a fantastic choice at around two dollars, and it gives you information about stuff to do nearby. I started out by using it in my own city to do a little bit of fun exploration, but it will tell you the 411 anywhere that you are at.
As an example, if you are traveling in New York City, it will tell you detailed information about what to do nearby, including the best landmarks. You can consider this to be your pocket tour guide, and it can be used all over the world. Oftentimes, it is so easy to overlook something interesting in your neck of the woods, or even when you travel to a new city. This is your opportunity to begin to unearth new sights, especially if you want to try out something different within your own town. Maybe you haven’t visited a specific landmark in your city since the fifth grade, so why not try it again?
