POTTERS BAR AND SOUTH MIMMS, WELWYN GARDEN CITY, AND SAINT ALBANS: THREE DAY TRIPS AROUND HATFIELD IN COUNTY HERTFORDSHIRE

I recently visited a few locations around my current home of Hatfield England. Two of these trips I had company and one was alone. I find it personally important to travel to smaller towns while abroad because it gives you a more authentic feel for the overall culture of a country as a whole. When you are traveling as well it is good to see small towns for many reasons. As a student studying it gives you a much needed break from campus and is far more affordable than heading into the big city every weekend; for Backpackers it can be easier to find hosts on sites such as couchsurfing.com in small towns, and for tourists it provides a chance to experience a quieter lifestyle and a much needed break from snapping endless photos of major well known attractions.

I can give all the reasons for traveling and for visiting different places that are uncommonly seen in tourist brochures and magazines or I could let you listen in to a few fellow travelers and their thoughts on these benefits and their experiences.
