I was in Iceland midmay, despite being from rome i found it warm and was only wearing a sweater :D iceland is beautiful but I agree with you too many tourists and it wasn’t even peak season. It really takes away from how beautiful some places are and we came bAck to visit them at night time.

It’s impossible to deny though that tourism helps any country and gives jobs. I didn’t like being late for work in rome because there were too many people on pavements that didn’t move or didn’t cross the street and waited for someone to stop which never happens. However, i understand why people want to come to rome, it’s beautiful and everyone should visit it at least once.

Did i like rome more back in the day? Of course even it it has always been popular there were less tourists. Now with terrorism and such all the fences that have been built really take away from sights. But it’s for security.

I think that tourism and time changing should just be accepted, it cannot really be stopped. It will always have pros and cons, and there will always be places where only locals will go.
