[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The thing that really makes me laugh is that those who “travel” here all go to the same tired destinations and spend tons (miles or points or cash or whatever) to do it. We have been to all the big places, but now [b]focus on really affordable out of the way places that are certainly more enjoyable and cheaper than even daily life in the USA. And they’re not filled with the mindless Instagram or DCUM UMC wannabe crowd. [/b][/quote]

Not for long.

With the multitudes of YouTubers and the advent of AI, these affordable out-of-the-way locations are swiftly becoming a thing of the past.

We are frequently amazed to be in an almost-unheard of place where we THINK we are the only tourists and everyone else is local, speaking the local language and then in walk other travelers taking videos and most assuredly blasting out information about how great this place is. Which means the hoards will soon be there too.[/quote]

Yes, and also all those "really affordable out of the way places"? They are affordable and out of the way for a reason- because they are difficult to get to, or they aren't especially nice. Note how PP didn't give any examples.[/quote]

PP here. Fair enough. This week, for instance, we are in a small town with a Christmas market today that would require a flight to Paris, a four hour train ride, and then a two hour drive into the mountains. We heard two American accents today, but that was it. But yes, the game isn not as fun as it used to be, that is true. But at least it’s not Iceland, Japan, Copenhagen, Cartagena, or whatever else fuels the DCUM crowd these days. We did those places ages ago[/quote]
