8. The Kindness Diaries
2 parts, 26 episodes
Many people, especially Western tourists, proudly boast that they travel without (or with very little) money. They rely on the kindness of locals wherever they go, a practice criticized by many as "abusing local kindness." In the series *The Kindness Diaries*, Leon Logothetis demonstrates that Western tourists are not simply "colonials." They must utilize their skills, get to know and connect with locals, exchange cultures, and contribute to the development of tourism at their destination.
The Kindness Diaries emphasizes that human connection and kindness, not money, are what truly matter, and in short, if you're smart enough, traveling doesn't have to be expensive.
