Traveling in a Bubble?

It's hard to try to actually meet people because you are a tourist. And so I'm like, I need to travel in a bubble. So the important thing for us is how to get out of the bubble. What helped that was the duration in the places and not just for a few days. We had met this family that was the extended family of the guy who was owning the Airbnb that we had chosen. They became family friends.
