Affordable Adventure: Discover the Charms of Second Cities
00:00:00.000 | Is there a place that someone looking for some travel inspiration can take from you?
00:00:04.240 | I think the second city, like as a general rule, it's going to be more affordable,
00:00:09.840 | you're going to have less foreigners, so more of a chance to meet local people who maybe aren't
00:00:16.000 | overwhelmed with how many foreigners there are. So like right now in Korea, I'm talking to you
00:00:20.560 | from Busan, which is the second city, and I can list a lot of advantages over going to Seoul
00:00:26.320 | because of how more of an authentic experience I'm having, but still having the comforts of
00:00:31.920 | being in a city. Obviously you're going to be even more authentic if you go to a village somewhere,
00:00:36.240 | but the city life I happen to enjoy, so the second city in a lot of countries, I'm a huge fan of
00:00:43.280 | basing myself there for a certain period of time to get to know the culture in a different way,
00:00:48.480 | and generally I tend to be one of the few foreigners who is in that city to be able to
00:00:54.800 | have a bit more of an authentic experience.
