As a person living in #Iceland, I feel compelled to respond.
> On a recent trip, I found sites like Rainbow Street and Seljalandsfoss packed with tourists.
This indeed is a problem, turns out tourists like touristy sites. 🤔

@rysiek @morquessewen I read this and it seems like they are so well travelled they expect something better every time - or they’ve never travelled at all and expect it to be like a magical movie. But regardless, it makes me want to go to Iceland! 🥶
