When putting together an itinerary, we usually gravitate
towards seeing as many big cities in as many countries as possible. Big cities are
wonderful for a reason, but I think smaller cities are sometimes are even
better. When I originally was creating my itinerary I wanted to hit as many big European cities as possible. It wasn't until I started traveling that I realized that mixing in smaller cities makes your adventure worthwhile.
Most of the best experiences I had did not occur in big cities. Places I
would have never planned to go but ended up in by chance. Some places were Montpellier, France, Figueres, Spain, Fethiye, Turkey, and Busia. Kenya. Each city has a special story to it and an adventure I loved. In Figueres, we went for the Dali Museum but ended up having our first couchsurfing experience because we didn't want to pay for a hotel. In Fethiye, we spent the day by ourselves hiking along the Mediterranean coast. Small cities still have much to offer even if they are off the beaten path.
