Affordable Hidden Gems: Off the Beaten Path Cities Beyond Popular Tourist Spots | TRAVEL TALK #189
Tired of the crowds? Let’s talk about how to travel to hidden cities that’ll make you feel like a local.
In this week’s Travel Talk episode, host Kim Anderson shares why exploring hidden cities—also known as secondary cities—might just be the travel upgrade you didn’t know you needed. Inspired by her conversation with Jake and Michelle Schomp (Episode #188), Kim digs into why skipping the big-name destinations can lead to more meaningful, affordable, and sustainable adventures.
You’ll hear why these lesser-known spots often offer richer local experiences, fewer crowds, and a chance to connect more deeply with the people and places you visit. Plus, Kim shares practical tips on how to actually find these under-the-radar destinations (hint: it’s easier than you think).
If you’ve been craving something different, maybe something more grounded and real, this episode will show you how getting off the mainstream travel trail can be the most rewarding decision you make.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- The perks of basing yourself in a secondary city
- How traveling off the beaten path supports more sustainable tourism
- Practical ways to find hidden gems and plan your next not-so-typical adventure
Perfect for curious explorers, slow travelers, and anyone tired of overcrowded “must-see” spots.
