What's a "Local Toolkit"?

It's the 10–20 apps and services locals in that country actually use day-to-day — the taxi app they call, the food app they order from, the bank, the eSIM, the metro card, the doctor hotline. Not a global list. The real one.

Why not just use Google, Uber and Booking everywhere?

Many countries have local apps that are cheaper, faster, in the right language — or the only option that actually works. In Georgia people use Bolt and Wolt, not Uber Eats. In Japan it's Suica, not Google Pay. We surface the real defaults.

What is Land Like a Local?

A free guide to the apps and services locals actually use in each country — taxi, food, stays, eSIM, transport, tours and more. We give you direct links so you can install or book in seconds.

How do you choose what goes in a toolkit?

We combine on-the-ground research with feedback from travelers and locals. We update each country regularly and clearly mark Sponsored or Partner placements so they're never confused with locals' default choice.

Yes. Some links are affiliate or partner links — if you book or install through them we may earn a small commission, at no extra cost to you. It funds the research that keeps this guide free.

Can I save a toolkit for my trip?

Yes. Tap the bookmark on any app to add it to your toolkit, then create a shareable link to send to yourself or a travel buddy.
