Tourist or Traveler? – which one are you

Tourist or Traveler? - which one are you

An eternal discussion in which there is no answer. Tourist or traveler? Which one are you?

Forums and facebook groups talk all the time about this topic. What are you? A tourist or a traveler?

I think this is a very large question and more complex than most people think.

I found this set of photographs at Bored Panda. These are supposed to be 14 differences between a tourists and travelers. What do you think about them. Do you really agree with this?

In my personal opinion, the one started this discussion about traveling has probably not much idea of what traveling is about

Traveling is not competition. It is a very personal experience in which you can do it the way you like.

I’m a tourist, visitor or traveler every time I left my home and any label would make me better or worst than the other.
