    People generally know that if you’re traveling you’re probably not one of them. Unless you fit the stereotype or you’re the obnoxious loud american tourist or whatever.

    That being said, a lot of places are dealing with their own issues right now. People are stressed about the cost of living rising while wages stagnate, jobs are scarce and so are homes. Fascism is making a resurgence in many places too. People are on edge.

    Not everyone wants to talk to tourists but some people are open to it, especially if you hang out in hostels, and if you actually talk to people they’ll probably be able to tell you’re not a magat. There’s still genuine human connection to be had.
