I disagree. Indie travel is about whatever the person wants it to be about. That’s why it’s indie travel. Every journey (and person) is different. ‘Nuanced realities’ sounds a bit arty-farty. Surely the indie traveller values a destination according to where they are in their life, why they’re there and a swag of other personal reasons — which might even include things some other indie travellers think are too prescriptive.
Broad expectations = black and white
Nuanced realities = shades of gray
In my experience, most travel occurs in the shades of gray. Nothing ever happens exactly as you would wish it to, and that’s part of the beauty and growth of travel.
I have yet to meet a country that met my expectations: good, bad, or ugly. There is always a surprise-
I agree if that is the mindset of the traveler. There are instances where travelers with hard broad expectations can be influenced to accept others by nuances of realities of the their destination. I’ve listened to many travel stories by returning travelers who’s unmet expectations absolutely ruined there travel experience.
anyone with broad expectations is up for a surprise!
