Creator's Key Takeaways
I've walked straight into ports that looked Instagram perfect on paper, only to be greeted by pushy street vendors, stray animals, and armed guards standing on every corner.
I once took a 3-hour round trip to Pisa just to find the leaning tower wrapped in scaffolding.
I still remember arriving in Santorini last summer. It was supposed to be dreamy. White rooftops, blue domes. Instead, it was a traffic jam of people.
In Barcelona, I once saw protest signs sprayed in red paint that simply said, 'Tourists go home.'
