I would disagree here. Selfie puts you into the context. It's not just what you see or smell or feel. It's you in it. It is the interaction. Apart from the selfish side of the selfie there are many other sides too.

A GoPro on an extension makes no one a tourist. I love my "selfie stick." I agree with the point of taking photos of yourself while travelling isn't always the best option, but if it makes you happy, then go for it.

Narcissist vs someone in the way pretending to be semi-pro wanting the same photo thousands of others already have. Look first, take photo, move on - don't waste a day "waiting" for the perfect shot - be a traveller, not an obstacle.

-1point

PaulSuke 8 years ago

First of all, Traveler is spelled with one L. Secondly aside from the selfie stick, a traveler can do all of the below. It's a state of mind not acrivity driven. A tourist goes to a destination to look at sites and take in a little of the culture while generally sticking out like a sore thumb. A traveler blends in by submerging himself into the culture and surroundings and be one with the environment he is visiting.

I joined Bored Panda as an image editor back in 2014, during its early stages. It's been quite a journey since then! Over time, I transitioned through different roles until I eventually became the Content Lead. In this position, I now oversee the creation of the viral content published here on Bored Panda. While my primary focus lies in raising awareness about important social issues like gender and race equality, as well as mental health topics, I also enjoy sharing lighter content, such as memes, cat images and intriguing world curiosities. Outside of work, you'll likely find me engaged in one of five activities: planning a vacation, browsing thrift stores, experimenting in the kitchen, watching movies, or spending quality time with my two cats.

This might be the first "article" in BoredPanda that I really dislike. It feels like the author is a traveller and wants to take the "I am the coolest" credit while saying that the tourist is a show-off a**e. The beauty of travelling is totally missed in this one and that is a thing that both tourists and travellers share: the love of discovering new places, in whatever way it feels right and nice to us. Plus, the two things doesn't exclude one another. I can be a traveller and a tourist at the same time, even in the manner of this article.

This is absolute b******t. I don't agree with any of these comparisons. Not one.

A tourist can be a traveler and a traveler is often a tourist.

This is dumb. So to be a traveler I have to sleep in a tent and only wear 1 shirt and never see any major symbols of the place I'm seeing? I love to travel to experiance the local flair but I don't sleep in a tent and I don't miss out on seeing what I want to see and I bring more then one shirt. I'm not going to sleep outside in Iceland in November .

It's so popular issue. Nowadays there are a lot of "travellers" and "travel bloggers" who is pretending to travel exciting but, in fact, they don't travel for enjoyment, they explore for content. Indeed, travelling might be very complicated: to understand correctly the country, to interact with locals, to understand their language and dialects. There is a huge difference between traveller and tourist.

I think calling this Tourist VS Traveler isn't right. It should be something like indoorsy travelers vs outdoorsy travelers. I mean I don't think I'm a tourist or a traveler really, however I love the mountains and whenever I go I do all of the above on both sides. Sometimes drive, other times hike, I'm a photographer so sometimes shoot photographs, other times take photos of myself/family with a nice background for memories, etc.
