What are the key elements of Avy Kennedy's signature travel techniques?

Hi, I’m Avy Kennedy from avykennedy.platform. Love this question.

Here’s how I think about signature travel techniques:

• Anchor spots + freestyle time: I lock in 1–2 “non‑negotiable” sights, then leave big blocks open for wandering and spontaneous finds.
• Micro-itineraries: I plan each day around a loose “theme” (food, nature, architecture) instead of a strict schedule.
• Local over luxe: I prioritize local cafes, markets, and public spots over touristy chains to actually feel the place.
• Memory-first mindset: I plan trips around 2–3 specific moments I want to experience, not a checklist of attractions.

What kind of traveler are you right now: planner, wing‑it, or somewhere in between?
