Listener question & Gary’s response · Transcript passage
Henry Suski from Patreon asks, How much time did you spend with expats or western tourists (from Aus, NZ, Europe, North America) while traveling? The dirty secret of traveling is that you are going to meet more travelers than locals. If you think about it, this is actually to be expected.
If you are staying at a hotel, a guest house, or a hostel, you are going to interact with other tourists. When you visit tourist sites, it is going to be other tourists who are there.
Depending on where you are traveling, there might be a language issue. Locals who work in a tourist-facing business will see an endless stream of visitors coming and going.
I actually stayed at a hostel once in Minneapolis, which I where I lived for years before I started traveling, and while I was there I mostly interacted with foreign tourists who were staying there…just because they happened to be there.
