The kind of tourism that you do is also pretty different from the giant cruise ships and other bulk tourism which is particularly destructive. I'm an advocate of spending a significant period of time in one place as much as possible. It's less resource-hungry and you get to know a place much better.

Exactly. We're definitely trying to also stay in different parts of the world longer, where we can also travel by train or bus between destinations (not planes)

They couldn't possibly disappoint. I visited Budapest in December 2019 and I was so excited but then I got really sick and couldn't leave my room for 90% of our stay. I was devastated and do not consider myself to have even been to Budapest so it's back on the list as somewhere I can't wait to explore. So......it will be fantastic to visit there through your blog!

Here here, well said! As a non-traveler your perspective makes a lot of sense to me. Good luck in Budapest, it's in the news for all the wrong reasons.
