From what I read on this sub, the focus seems to be in developing countries or Eastern Europe. Just curious as to why US/Canada isn't as popular as DN?

I get that it's more expensive but there are ways around it. I think the beauty and stuff to do in such country tops a lot of places!

Just being curious and would like to know your point of views, not trying to take away anything from other countries :)

The draw of DN is not to see the same five chains in every American city but to experience the entire world at a much more affordable price. I've been to almost every big American city and a ton of medium-sized ones. They are largely all the same with the same generic bars, restaurants, shops, and generic downtown attractions. American culture is boring. I've lived here my whole life. I'm trying to eat street food every day and live in a walkable community in a country I've never been to.

What major cities have you been to? I’m from NYC and I found all the cities in the US so different. Can’t compare Brooklyn to SF to New Orleans to Scottsdale.
