What I can really recommend to everyone, especially when you don't have a huge travel budget and though want to see a lot, is to discover places and cities next to where you live/grew up. It helps you to understand and realize how beautiful the region is, where you live and/or grew up.
So, last week I did it: I spent a whole day at the Montfort City Tettnang, just like a normal tourist.
(I went to school there for two years, but I still didn't knew some of the Places I've visited)
