Travel peeve: Death by selfie stick!

Oh. My. Goodness. Selfie sticks are flailing about at every tourist spot across Europe and one could get a whack in the head if one isn’t careful (I met a man who wasn’t careful on our cruise. He also wasn’t happy. At least he still has his eyes).

Here are some pics I took WITHOUT A SELFIE STICK of the Selfie Stick Users for your eye-rolling pleasure…

Selfie stick peeves

African men sell selfie sticks in every city we’ve been to. They’ll ask for €10 but you can get one for €5. Not that I’m encouraging it!!
