"Growing up in the market town of Ulverston on the edge of the English Lake District we were aware that visitors to the region rarely ventured off the beaten track. When travelling further afield in our gap years and throughout university, we found that travel can be frustrating if you are trapped in a tourist bubble and found that one way of escaping this was to speak to the locals".
Sally
