Method of Travelling where you leave the big city for last

i'm having issue remembering where I read a similar travel blog/article. the premise was that, when you go travel somewhere, you immediately go rural and then work your way inwards to the city. the reasoning being that so many large cities are increasingly homogenous with looks or businesses, that the real distinction or differentiation is seen in more rural environments. thus, by ending the trip in the city, youre more appreciative of being in the city and back to it's usual/accustomed amenities that you are used to from the city you came from prior to traveling.
anyone recall which article im talking about? was posted maybe 2-3 months back somewhere.
