    Sounds like me. I don’t give a shit about super famous stuff and standing in lines for hours. If I’m not doing nature things like hiking in the mountains or chilling at the beach I’m hitting food places, clothing stores, book stores, maybe try to catch a concert.

      some destinations are irresistible but yeah by and large I want to see what a place is actually like when travelling

      Like, the great wall seems like a worthwhile trip if I’m in china for a long period of time, it’s literally a wonder of the world or whatever, but like, busy tourist trap iconic buildings? not gonna be a worthwhile experience usually. Like I’d skip the space needle in seattle, or the sears tower in Chicago. You can get a better view of seattle from Kerry Park on a nearby hill than you do from the needle tbh, taking the trolleybus over there and doing that beats sitting in line downtown any day. But seeing the space needle from the ground level and taking the monorail were still interesting

        There are several options for visiting the Great Wall, it’s not a single destination. Just go to like the third most popular section and you’ll be good.
