Holidify Released A Series Of Images Illustrating The Differences Between Tourists And Travelers (12 Pics)

Back when I was traveling the difference was camera or no camera.

Not confused, not mostly, point of depiction here is that average tourist goes straight to point B and back, while a traveler actually enjoys the journey, takes detours to explore and completely lives the place, not focused on just getting there. Tourist is analogical modern, too busy and not appreciative of nature, more appreciative of selfies.

So travellers like Twister?

The traveller is alone because no one likes him / her ... seems about right.

This whole post is just someone(s) trying to feel superior by putting others down - oh so you're a tourist - well I'm a traveller ...seriously!!

What's the difference? Both have bought souvenirs from where they visited.

The "tourist" here could just as easily be a "traveller", be it for business or visiting family. The wish for sleep very much implies exhausting travel. Nothing to do with seeing the sights, which is what I would call tourism.

Sleeping in a comfortable bed is such a tourist thing, what a loser!

Sure but I don't think anyone is gonna let you climb on the Eiffel Tower

Just because I don't like being eaten by bugs and sh$&&ing in the woods does not mean I'm a tourist

Ah yes, tourist wants to see some famous places, the traveller does paragliding. Typical traveller.

Yep. Hitchhiking is NOT safe
