I don't like tourists traps and touristy areas (I live in Florida and I know Disney and Universal are great, but Orlando is a straight up nightmare of a city and the touristy parts are just god awful). I do wanna go to typical vacation spots- Europe, Hawaii, NYC, etc. but I tend to avoid anything too touristy unless it's a really amazing excursion/sight/etc. I'm a little more inclined to hit tourists spots in foreign countries, but in the U.S. they just annoy me and I can't spend too long or I go off-peak times, and I would rather hit the less known and equally as neat areas of cities and states (For example while everyone roams typical areas of Manhattan in NYC, I am off exploring Brooklyn). I don't necessarily think I am difficult cuz I will go along with the crowd with a smile on my face...but I would just prefer to vacation with people who are on the same page as me.
