As amazing as it is that the world has become so easy to travel, it is sad to think how superficial these experiences have become for many stereotypical sightseers; F*cking Tourists by Jolipunk, a French photographer, captures this sentiment. The photo series revolves around locals who have no patience for "the tourists who are always looking for [folkloric photographs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/all-within-the-detour)," as Whitezine puts it.

Although the gestures captured in F*cking Tourists by Jolipunk are crude, they are also telling. In a single gesture, these locals are able to convey a variety of messages to the ubiquitous traveller from move along to get over yourself and more. Whether captured with a straight face, an apologetic one or even a bashful expression, the gesture will hopefully encourage tourists to have broader experiences when [traveling](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-travel-campaign).
