      @@michaeltravelingtheworld4688 These 2 are already great suggestions, but (I wasn't clear at all) personally I was thinking of European, African or Asian cities. They may be there, but it's hard to find them and mostly you'll have stumble upon them (I think). There are enough guide, but I feel like locals know more (as I am sort of local in Ghent, Middelburg, Zeeuws-Vlaanderen -you probably don't know where that is- or used to be in Rotterdam/The Hague).
      (as Dutchie it's easier for me to go away for a small and not expensive weekend trip to these parts as for America (north till south) and it has to be longer. 😊)

      Thank you! I'm a Dutchman and visited Czechia two years ago for the last time. Thanks to Janek and Honza my friend and I were prepared and knew how to avoid tourist traps. We also gained more respect for your wonderful country and left Prague several times to visit other cities and villages. Often due to a recommendation by Janek and Honza. Outside Prague we've visited: Karlovy Vary, Kutná Hora, Český Krumlov, Brno, Benešov (Konopiště), Lednice-Valtice, Olomouc, Pardubice and Trěbič. But one of the villages I like the most is Mnichovice, probably because friends of ours live there. My friend is half Slovak and can communicate with the Czechs. I don't speak Czech, so I try to speak English or German with the Czechs. So far it has been great every time. I like the down to earth mentality of the Czechs. I hope the Czechs do realise how wonderful their country is.

    He underestimates their impact on Czech tourism. He and his buddy have single-handedly increased tourism to Prague tenfold. That congestion of tourists he talks about? ALL HIM. He and Honza did that. When they started out on youtube, it was mostly other European tourists. Now it’s this worldwide attraction and, I dare say, bordering on over-touristy. I had never thought of Prague as a destination before watching their vids. But I went and, thanks to Janek and Honza, I loved my time there.

    Wow I just came back from Prague last night and saw this talk happened the week before I went. This university (Drew) is next door to my own! I wish I had been able to attend. But I probably watched all of the honest guide videos before I went and they were a great help!

    And on top of showing our beautiful city, Janek also introduces Czech (a little bit) outlandish sense of humor :)

    This is a nice talk, but I'd really like someone to discuss what tourists can do to avoid ruining the places they visit. Because they do, and Prague is a great example of it.

    • @acmulhern
      @acmulhern 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      EricDerLetsPlayer yes, but someone started it and then millions of idiots followed.

    • @EricDerLetsPlayer
      @EricDerLetsPlayer 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Mulan 121 yeah but you dont have to be that creative to use a lock to show that youre love standa for ever. (I still dont get why they do it but yeah) but i THINK the most people used the lock on their own city?

    I was worried when I traveled to Paris with my grandmother that it was going to be an over crowded and terrible experience. However, we stayed somewhere far away from the Eiffel tower and we had access to some of the coolest local things. It made me see traveling differently if you just think outside the box a bit.

    This is for sure on my list to do for some time already but it will happen and I hope to see Janek somewhere around 😊

    I did a master in prague in 2004 and wrote a memoire about the city and yes each time I'm coming back I'm sad to see the negative influence of mass tourism : my favorite cinema became a stip club, a library I used to go is now a fast food etc etc.
    Still, it's one of my favorite city in the world and I'm glad to see people like Janek working on this matter without putting the fault only on tourists. Like in Barcelona or Venise local and foreign promoters and the mafia are the one to blame.
