My old stomping grounds. Actually somewhat further south, but only 30 miles from where my mother and her father were born.

There are multiple places in Cape Town that need to ban influencers - tidal pools are absolutely jam packed at sunrise (from 5am onwards) with people posing in front of their iPhones! Certain areas of Cape Town are a no-go zone in the summer months and it's only getting worse.

Locals know where to avoid and the best months to enjoy the mother city

I have a rule - if I take someone I trust off the beaten track in Yosemite, I make them promise not to post any photos from our day. My preference is no photos.

If I don’t trust them fully, we stick to the beaten path.

No All Trails or Strava or any of that stuff allowed either.
