Wander in Wisconsin: Live Like a Local
What is Live Like a Local
Live Like a Local is a destination-focused series by Wander in Wisconsin designed to help travelers discover the small towns, local businesses, food, lodging, and experiences that make Wisconsin unique.
Many of the places featured throughout the series come directly from recommendations shared by locals, visitors, and travelers who know and love these communities.
Through on-location storytelling, feature videos, photography, and social media coverage, the series helps shine a spotlight on communities across the state while encouraging people to explore beyond the typical tourist stops.
How the Tour Helps Communities
Bringing More Visibility to Wisconsin Communities
Each Live Like a Local destination feature is designed to help create visibility not just for one business, but for the surrounding community as a whole.
By showcasing restaurants, lodging, coffee shops, boutiques, attractions, trails, events, and hidden gems together, the series encourages people to explore communities they may have otherwise never considered visiting.
Through social media coverage, photography, video storytelling, and website features, the goal is to help communities become places people want to stop, visit, and return to.
What is a Premier Featured Partner?
How Featured Partnerships Work
Premier Featured Partners are the businesses that help make each Live Like a Local destination feature possible.
These partnerships allow Wander in Wisconsin to travel to communities across the state and create destination-focused storytelling that highlights the local food, lodging, shopping, attractions, and experiences that make each town unique.
Rather than functioning as a traditional advertisement, Premier Featured Partners become part of a larger tourism-style campaign designed to encourage people to explore, visit, and experience Wisconsin communities like a local.
Each destination feature is typically built around 4–6 featured partner locations to help create a complete and well-rounded community experience. These partnerships also allow Wander in Wisconsin to organically explore and showcase additional stops throughout the area, helping highlight the overall personality, atmosphere, and local charm of the town.
Because each destination is filmed on location and carefully planned, feature availability is limited and only a select number of businesses can be scheduled during each tour stop.
