Just a small reminder (as I am from a place very very close to Hallstatt): DRONES ARE FORBIDDEN THERE! The pics are beautiful, but it's prohibited and offends the privacy of the people living there. Everywhere you go it's written on doors and and signs... Please RESPECT what the people want. It's not a museum where you have no restrictions of what to make pictures of.

That's what I thought. It's quite ironic that Berlin hipsters' darling Bad Gastein is the example he came up with. This romanticized view on travelling is one of the main reasons that lead to the problems of modern tourism, the problems residents of Hallstatt or Venice, Barcelona or Dubrovnik face today.

Maybe not the best choice, but better than you make it out to be. Bad Gastein is almost three times bigger than Hallstatt therefore having the same amount of visitors (didn't check if that's actually true) still means that it's less crowded. Plus tourists in Bad Gastein are not on some bizarre pilgrimage to one specific place like they are in Hallstatt.

Finally, someone who is the same as me. I always travel to other countries following my family to generic tourist spot. But whenever I wander off to place other than that, I always get that feeling of wanted to know more about the people, culture and the history of the place. Once, I wander off when my family is buying souvenir at a shop at Turkey with other tourist. I met a Syrian refugee who are working in a shop with less visitor. He is trying to learn Malay since there are a lot of Malaysians and Indonesians visitor there. We talk about a lot of things from language to how he live his life and his family To me, that is the most valuable thing I cherish from that trip.

I loved the message of this video. The internet has changed the way we travel for sure. Before I started backpacking my uncle gave me a guide book for Italy (first destination) and I remember thinking how crazy it was that people actually used to use them before Google. But after months of skipping around to different countries, I realized that I don't travel for the new places or the food or the photos. I travel for the people I meet and the memories I share with them. The locals, the blow-by's, the other travelers and all their stories. Everyone will eventually find their way off the beaten path, and hopefully find the thing that makes it worth the journey in the first place.

This video really resonates with me because each end every year I pass this town heading to one of the most beautiful places on Earth that noone knows about. You´re absolutely right that the best places are those you discover yourself. When your friends don´t say "I know this place" but "Where is this amazing place?" then you´re doing something right. (Also how did you get the drone permit? Heard that Hallstatt is a pretty no-go for drones.)

I agree so much with this message and this was so beautifully put. I love travel but I have a disdain for what mass, especially organised travel can do to a place, in the pursuit of vanity and profit. You try to distance yourself by calling yourself a "traveller" and not a lowly "tourist" but at the same time you still have some doubt as to whether you're part of the problem. There's some places I've been that I'm just reluctant to share because I don't want those places to be ruined. Travel for me is, like with you, exploring places that aren't well known, involve adventure (like unexpectedly exploring an abandoned Grand Budapest Hotel, that was dope), getting off that beaten track and taking pride in the fact that no one else was there. With the touristy places of course they're worth visiting - they're popular for a reason - but also because they're way more easily accessible than others. To avoid the tourist hordes on those (even worked for me in extremely touristy places like the south of Iceland in September) you simply visit those places at sunrise. None of them can be bothered getting up that early 😂

@@derry9755 everyone's sick of it tbh lol but on the other hand, we're glad that the tourists spend their money here. (Also, as good as this video seems, drones are prohibited in our town!! and it's very annoying if someone just plainly ignores that. Furthermore, the second town he went to is just as famous and touristy as Hallstadt lmao)

It's ironic that the guy preaches this message to "don't be like a tourist, go to quiet places & soak up the environment", while spending most of his time taking pictures & flying a drone, wherever he goes.. :) P.S. Before everyone attacks me, just know that I suffer from the same condition.

The odd thing about the social media marketing aspect of travel is that it has started to dissuade me from going to places. For the longest time I've wanted to visit Iceland - basically since I have discovered this Island on the map the far north. But after Walter Mitty the amount of photos I've been inundated with is staggering. So many photos of people in bright colored jackets standing in front of Skógafoss. So many photos of that plane wreck from WWII with someone walking on it. Oddly, it's kind of annoying. So much so that I don't feel like I want to see those places anymore. Isn't that weird? Usually seeing something advertised a lot makes you more likely to want it... What do you think?

Alan, I think that I agree with the essence of what you are saying. When so many people go to a place and just snap a quick photo of it, that place no longer seems as special. But don't let other people dissuade you from going where you want to go! I think this video is a good example...Even though thousands of tourists visit this little Austrian village every day, Johnny was able to go to the same location and tell a powerful, completely different story. We will always be able to find an adventure...just might have to look a little harder in the age of Instagram Cheers buddy.

I think that makes a lot of sense. I have the same reaction to places that are plastered over the internet. The main reason for travel (for me at least) is to experience something new. If you've already seen hundreds of pictures and videos of a place then by the time you visit there isn't much to discover.
