Welcome to Episode 084 of my “Travel Tales From Beyond The Brochure” podcast.
Of course it’s the New Year, and as such, the travel world is plastered with lists of ‘where to go in 2024’, ‘best places to visit in 2024’, and the like. Now, I have to say I’ve never been terribly fond of these sorts of things on a fundamental level for a number of reasons. I mean, sure they provide a good quick way of inspiring people, especially people who are relatively new to travel, but sometimes I feel that they tend to be quite … well, have a listen and see if you agree with me.
Topics discussed in this episode are:
- Back to Glasgow for re-coloured hair
- My eyes are getting old
- Time Out’s “The World’s Best Cities For 2024”
- Great Cities are Big and Western
- Forbes’ “Where To Travel And Avoid The Crowds In 2024”
- What does ‘lesser-visited’ even mean?
- British Vogue’s “Best Places To Travel in 2024”
- National Geographic’s “The Cool List 2024”
- CNN’s “Best Destinations To Visit in 2024”
- Conclusions
