It really depends. Most people are incredibly friendly, give lots of local tips, are interested in where I’m from. People are genuinely excited and welcoming. But I’ve also been yelled at—“fucking tourist!”—for stopping on the street to reverse parallel park…an hour south of the border for the numberplate my car had 🤷

I don’t think it’s much tha you meet people that hate tourists, just that you meet any other asshole that hatess the things that aren’t them. So of course they hate tourists too. Good thing the majority of society aren’t at all like that.
