Look in any travel magazine or publication and there is bound to be an article on the future of travel in the next few years. In fact, this is even one of my favorite questions that I ask my podcast guests this season and the variety of answers is quite fascinating. But one common thread that I see among the articles and the answers is that travel is definitely going to be vastly different than what we have been used to in the past – especially in the near future. No more forced mega adventures for the sake of popularity and social media status. And nowhere is that message clearer than with my guest today Rania Kalogirou who lives in Thessaloniki, Greece.CulturallyOurs Explore Thessaloniki Greece With A LocalRaina calls herself a third culture kid having lived in a few different countries in her childhood, but home is still this part of mainland Greece known for its historical significance, museums, beaches and of course incredible Greek cuisine so many of us love. Even though it is part of mainland Greece and not so well known as compared to some of the famous Greek islands, Rania says that this is what makes Thessaloniki that much more special. Off the beaten path yet so culturally rich, it is well worth a visit, especially at a time when people are craving staycations, mini-adventures and localized experiences that bring forth the love of exploration that much more.
