A kind of belonging barometer, the tourist test was developed as ‘a bit of a wake-up call’ to teach people more about their surroundings
I took a test. A fun test. Its overarching question: are you a tourist in your own home? Absolutely not, I thought. Almost three decades in Sydney makes me a local. But when I tried to answer the questions, I was shocked – I couldn’t pass.
Because it’s not about “where to eat, play, and stay”. The tourist test is a kind of belonging barometer that explores how much we understand and participate in our home environment.
