The reality of tourist attractions.

Unfortunately, tourist attractions don’t always look like their photos.

The Taj Mahal looks a lot more stately when photoshopped.

We all have a bucket list of tourist attractions that we want to see before we die. One of the biggest ones on my list is Michael Fassbender’s dick. Unfortunately, just like a Tinder catfish, tourist attractions don’t always end up looking like their photos. We have all see glorious photos of the Seven Wonders of the World, but those photos are normally taken on beautiful days when there isn’t a soul around (for some reason). The ugly truth is that these places are normally swarming with tourists trying to make memories, even though whomever they are traveling with is probably in need of a stiff drink.

My advice to you, so that you don’t fall into one of these tourist trap pitfalls, is to travel during the week, get all your tourist photos out in the first 2 days (in the morning, when there are less people), and then spend the rest of your trip off the beaten path, going places other tourists don’t dare to go. If you really want to have an amazing adventure, get as far away from people as you can.
