We saw the above video on TikTok and it got us thinking outside the box.
Of course, we know that beauty exists is various places around the world, but the fact that this exists at all astonished us.
Which is why it shocked us even more when we saw a varied perspective of places in the world.
The reason we were shocked is because sometimes pictures, even videos, don't do justice to a place.
We mean that in a good way, and other times the multimedia over-exaggerates the experience.
Of course, this was just one of those posts that tries to open our eyes to the fact that you are not always going to get the brochure experience. But you must embrace it for what it is.
Well, that's our opinion anyway...
The truth is there are a range of factors that come into play when you visit a place. You are not always going to get what you see on social media.
For instance, the weather plays a big part in it, not to mention the plethora of filters that come stock standard with social media apps nowadays.
