I can't stand seeing tourists in my area

Nothing personal with them, it's not their fault for ending up here, but only foreigners I want are refugees and immigrants. Maybe some international students and volunteers too, depends. Tourists just don't fit this place.

Hey sweetie... I used to hate tourists too and what tourism does to my island and the locals... Not only it robs them their homes but it puts them in a ridiculous money hunt...

But now that I kind of experience and see for myself how traveling can cure racism, discrimination and separation... It's truly amazing to see the Afghans next to the Germans next to the Americans next to the Thais next to the Nepali... Under different circumstances these people would behave and obey under different laws. But when they meet all together as tourists, the priorities list kind of changes, and firstly they realise they are all humans and then come the rest...

So it's not a win win situation , but it has certain positives 🤗

@being travelling is amazing and I wish everybody to experience it but some places really suffer from overtourism, they should know they can't take them all at a time because it creates problems to the local population and also the nature. Meanwhile there are places that aren't popular enough and nobody wants to visit and there are so many misconceptions about them. It's like places going in and out of fashion. I like seeing people coming together from all around but not excessive things.
