A traveler's Dream, or Expectation vs reality

Nowadays, most people don't wear pink glasses, for this they have numerous Instagram filters. Perhaps that is why trips to popular tourist destinations are often disappointing. Where are these perfect and delightful beaches with white sand and turquoise water that beckon from the photos? 

After all, it used to be much better when we could only read about these places and dream about them. Now, because of Instagram, the harsh reality breaks our fantastic expectations.
