This week The Pod Well Travelled sets off on a journey to explore two trends taking flight in the travel industry.

Expert photographer Mogens Johansen and travel editor Stephen Scourfield chat to host Megan French about the concepts of “second city” travel and destination dupes — from prioritising a “more authentic” experience to stretching your wallet even further abroad and building genuine connections.

Plus, Stephen is challenged to a “quick-fire question” round disclosing his top suggestions of alternatives for some of the world’s most popular tourism destinations.
