31. I want to reply,, but I like to keep my favorite places in Ireland away from others

For example… Wales, North Wales wonders have been ruined by Social Media.

What was once charming quiet spots —- have been overrun and ruined
by too many people.

I even know of small village(s) in North Wales that took down info
on internet to keep people away. And get locals to remove info too.

I LOVE a few somewhat private, private paths that the fact so few use,
those walking pathways in North Wales, but now I have noticed
a few YouTube videos of those walks are GONE. Good!

Only at a local BnB can you get info now.

Over tourism is a BIG PROBLEM now in the entire world.

Social Media is an absolute HELL by ruining a LOT

AND I LIKE GOING PLACES IN THE WORLD THAT ARE NOT TOO CROWDED,
OF COURSE MANY TIMES ITS JUST NOT POSSIBLE TO AVOID—

There is a REASON so many people want to visit some places.
And thus crowds are hard to avoid.

ADD…

Got to admit…..I most enjoy places in the world that have few to no
American visitors—- Prefer not going on vacations to only then be around
other Americans —- I WANT TO GET AWAY FROM AMERICANS WHILE
I AM ON VACATION
