「Not antisocial. Just allergic to tourists」
You hate lines, you hate crowds, you hate seeing a place through a lens before your own eyes get there. While everyone's busy posting, you've already slipped into a side alley. What you want is to actually get inside a place, not to photograph it and leave.
🪞 The real you
Crowds at a hotspot make you queasy. Everyone goes to Shibuya; you go to the café in the next alley. 'That's so touristy' is your catchphrase, and your itinerary is full of places nobody's heard of.
✨ Your travel superpower
Your trips have a texture others don't. While the crowd piles into the same photo spot, you've found the place only locals know — you're the kind who plays a city on 'secret mode.'
⚠️ Your travel blind spot
Sometimes you reject 'good' just to be 'different.' Classics are classics for a reason; your contrarian streak occasionally costs you something genuinely great, just to prove you're not like everyone else.
👯 What your travel buddies know
Travel with you and you'll see the other side of a city — but your 'this is too touristy' can be a buzzkill. They sometimes want one cheesy landmark shot too. Let them. It's not embarrassing.
