‘Behind The Screens’ is a podcast of British origin whose profile on the TikTok social network is as follows: @behindthescreenspodcast. It is an informative and dissemination format led by two young Englishmen called Curtis and James, who present conversations of all kinds, without filter and where chaos invades in some situations. Additionally, this program usually invite public figures related to the world of the internet to talk about the social media industry, controversial topics or personal experiences, among others.
In the video that now concerns Bart, the guest on this occasion, you can see. It is a conversation between himself and one of the presenters, Curtis, about something very clear: “The top five most overrated destinations to take a trip”. Both have made their ranking, from lowest to highest, and have accompanied each position with a series of explanations that have led them to make that decision.
Barcelona: the fifth worst destination to travel to according to some English people
The first to offer his verdict of the fifth worst city to visit was Bart, who pointed out VeniceItaly. The reason for this has had to do with its smell and the price of things. “It smells bad and it’s expensive, it’s not the authentic Italian experience. So much water everywhere… Who cares, man? Go somewhere else. “Go to Florence”he argues. For his part, Curtis points to Barcelona this timesomething that seems to Bart to be a “mistake”. Curtis explains what it is “one of the worst places for pickpockets.
It just doesn’t seem that good to me. Yes, they robbed me there”.
Regarding number four, Bart sentences bali while expressing his incomprehension as to why people go there so much. “Why does everyone go? Nowadays it is full of digital nomads. They tell you: “I’m going to work from Bali.” Come on, it’s total ‘cringe'”he reasons. The counterpart is Bart, who focuses on a European destination like it isGreece and of which he says the following: “Let me flush the toilet paper. In fact, it should be higher up.”.
New York or London before Santorini and Marrakech
The top three begins, and here the ones indicated are New York and London. Regarding the American destinyBart explains that the city is completely overcrowded. “Okay, it’s crowded. It’s very expensive. Times Square is basically a circus with screens… Grow up!”he declares. On the other side of the world, in Europe, Curtis has pointed to the English capital. The truth is that he loves the city, but “As a tourist, it is very expensive to stay anywhere and everywhere is very full. Great place to live, shitty place to go on vacation”he states.
The second destinations indicated are both Santorini as Marrakech. The first, according to Curtis (although it is the one chosen by Bart), is easier to enjoy in a video game than seeing it in person. “Buildings aren’t even white all year round. If you want to see that, play ‘Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare'”. From the Moroccan city, Curtis assures that the food is good but that there is always the same problem. “If I want to spend the day haggling in the markets, have them try to steal my children and make all the women in the group feel insecure… that’s why I stay in London”he argues.
Dubai and Paris, the most overrated destinations
Finally, the two most overrated destinations for a trip are Dubai and Paris. Bart is unable to understand why they are so obsessed with that city. “Why is everyone moving there? There are a lot of taxes and it’s just a few buildings in the middle of the desert”he declares. On the other hand, the city of love being pointed out by Curtis causes Bart to say the following: “Go now!”. As a result, Curtis reports that “Paris is terrible. It is one of the worst places I have ever been. The people are rude and, no matter how good the croissants are, it is the worst place to go on vacation”they conclude.
