Welcome to this week's #WeekendWanderlust chat!
Tonight, we're discussing #SecondCities (I'm making up that hashtag, I think!) - the lesser loved cities because they deserve it too!
Where are you chiming in from?!

It’s here! The Second Cities Edition of the #WeekendWanderlust #Travel Chat starts now! We’ll chat about our favorites plus tips, and a very special announcement a little later. But first, say hello and let us know where you’re checking in from!

Hey everyone!
I'm chiming in from home this week after being in Costa Rica for the past two weeks! Excited to be back home for a couple weeks!
Also, excited to be talking about an easy form of #responsibletravel - visiting 'second cities!'

Hellooooo #WeekendWanderlust'ers! Rob + Ann checking in from DFW's Second City! (Hint: it's the FW part.) We're ready to chat and learn about 2nd Cities, but we're super excited about tonight's special announcement! Stay tuned.

As much as this group travels, you'd think airplanes would count as our Second Cities! Especially this one - I'd move in in a minute! #WeekendWanderlust

A1: A second city to me means a city that's not the capitol, most visited, and/or most popular city in a state/country.
For example, @visitknoxville instead of Nashville in my neck of the woods!

A1 The underrated cities of a specific location, hidden gems of the world. Many know Paris but have you heard of Strasbourg? #WeekendWanderlust

#WeekendWanderlust A1: Marginally off topic, but whenever we hear the term Second City, we think immediately of SCTV and the Second City improv troupe. Just us? #travel

replying to @ABritSoutherner @ABritSoutherner I’ve heard of it but not been there - hence the need for promoting the second cities! #WeekendWanderlust

replying to @TravelLatte @TravelLatte A1) The lesser known or less visited city (sometimes for good reason, other times not) of either a region, state, or country #WeekendWanderlust

replying to @wildheartedblog @wildheartedblog @visitknoxville But sometimes it's a capital over a bigger city, like Victoria over Vancouver or Quebec City over Montreal. #WeekendWanderlust

A2: Some underrated and less popular cities I love include @VisitOKC, @explorestlouis, @VisitAsheville - I realize these aren't small cities but they aren't given enough love.

@ParksandPoints @TravelLatte I like your point. Not all lesser known areas are exciting but there are so so many that are worth visiting!
Nice to see ya here tonight! #WeekendWanderlust

A2 I would have to say #Killarney in #Ireland. Beautiful and so many people never make it out of Dublin. @GoToIrelandGB #WeekendWanderlust
TravelLatte
#WeekendWanderlust A2: Our home base is a second city locals call Funky Town: Fort Worth, the FW in DFW! And our Rob is from Phoenix Arizona’s smaller, cooler neighbor #Tucson. Both are worth getting to know! #travel

replying to @yosecormier @yosecormier @visitknoxville Good point as well! Second cities take many different forms! #WeekendWanderlust

replying to @ABritSoutherner @ABritSoutherner A2) We love Boulder (and their great park system) as the "Second City" of Colorado (yeah, it's almost a suburb of Denver, but it's not.) #weekendwanderlust
wildheartedblog
replying to @ABritSoutherner @ABritSoutherner @GoToIrelandGB Yes! One of my best pieces of advice for Ireland - leave Dublin! #WeekendWanderlust

replying to @wildheartedblog @wildheartedblog @TravelLatte We're glad to be here! Love the #WeekendWanderlust !

#WeekendWanderlust A 2) We really enjoyed staying in Jersey City, just across the water from NYC
TravelLatte
replying to @ABritSoutherner @ABritSoutherner We generally think of the smaller "outskirts" or nearby cities. So like Beauvais, outside of Paris, where the budget airlines fly. #WeekendWanderlust

replying to @yosecormier @yosecormier I’ve wanted to go here for a really long time! Time to find a good flight deal there I think! #WeekendWanderlust

replying to @obligatraveler @obligatraveler And even just visiting the outer boroughs of NYC is a great example. It’s not all about manhattan! #WeekendWanderlust

replying to @wildheartedblog @wildheartedblog @VisitTucsonAZ @visitphoenix @VisitMesa Tucson is fantastic! Full disclosure - Rob's hometown. :) Even more nature on the doorstep - Mountains, Saguaro NPS, Picacho Peak SP, fun spots like Old Tucson & Sonora Desert Museum. If you need a guide. ;) #WeekendWanderlust
