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 :)

Probably cost and also a negative bias that the US and Canada don’t offer cultural experiences. Having spent time slow traveling in different provinces and states, I disagree that we have no culture. You find what you look for.

I’m based in dual citizen US-Canada. Based out of Toronto and wfh so I decided to take long workcations in different cities across Canada. Ended up going to the same ones over and over again. Montreal and Quebec City. Monthly rentals are the best value and varied from 1200usd (Quebec City - low) 1800 usd (Halifax - mid) 2800 usd (Montreal - when I splurged on a really nice place in the summer. Can be done for less.)
