Yes, I've done travel photography and hope to again someday. But my way. Experience and new friends come first. Food and drink, second. My camera was simply along for the ride. Relax and enjoy.
Over-tourism is a problem, by the way. If you've been caught on a tour bus that dumps you into a small town swarming with selfie-sticks, then I sympathize if you felt shame. Next time, think about how you can travel differently. If you live in one of these towns and want to throw eggs at that bus, I get it. In either case, I ain't your judge.
