Alright, real talk: When people travel and claim they're "immersing themselves in authentic culture," isn't it mostly just an excuse to eat questionable street food and take pictures of poverty without actually, you know, helping? Or is there some magical point where the Instagram likes transition into genuine enlightenment? Asking for a friend who's tired of seeing influencers pretend to care. Discuss, or just admit you're all doing it for the gram. 😉
