In this episode of In Conversation with Tourists, I’m joined by Charlie for an unexpected follow-up to our recent trips to Stockholm.
By pure coincidence, we found ourselves on the same departure flight , and we’ve decided to record an episode of experiencing the city in completely different ways.
Charlie’s trip was shaped by friends, gym, some quirky bars and exploring Stockholm’s more youthful, social side. Mine leaned towards slower days, family time, and, unsurprisingly, a few museums along the way.
Together, we reflect on how the same city can offer entirely different experiences depending on where you are in life and personal needs, rather than being mainly guided by a list of must-do activities.
