Why waste money travelling...

[samsbolton]

I could wreck you on the golf course m8 and I'd rather play pebble beach, pinehurst, kapalua... Than those rinky dink links courses where there is a hole in the middle of a hill windy field. I see why you are red

All great courses but I'm afraid Scotland beat you by 200 years. Can't buy history

[iceypain]

why leave home when the internet is GOAT? brb accessing the whole world with a few clicks

[RealityKings]

Because only when you leave America will you realise that you actually live in a pretty ****ty country.
Been around the world and America is a pretty crappy place. Only Americans think America is that good.

But yeah, stay in that bubble bud.

It's called sexual tourism boyo. You have to sample the local goods like Brazilian and Thai ladybois.

When you live in America, land of the goats? Just seems like a trend hipster thing to do to waste thousands of dollars to see inferior countries and cultures. If liberal hipster Americans weren't so infatuated with mimicking these inferior cultures we wouldn't have any problems over here.


Stay out

Because I can stay in parts of other countries with a room and buying all my food for less than it costs me to live day to day in the US because of the stupidly high cost of everything here. Other than a plane ticket, a lot of these places are so cheap that you could take 10k there and probably live for 10 years if you budgeted well. It's nice seeing your dollar go far and doing fun things. You don't understand because you've probably never left the country. Maybe when you move out of mommy and daddy's house you'll figure that out.

[DesiredUserphag]

I've fukked more foreign girls in their own countries than most guys have fukked period. That's one reason I keep traveling. Good times indeed


44/195. Hopefully I'll hit 50 soon

[MajesticLion]

I've come to this very strange place where the Aussie "f*ck off, we're full" mantra has never seemed more appropriate.


Oh well, trollin' OPs gonna troll.

[AWillis]

this is the view of someone with no money.

if you had unlimited funds, travelling with freinds and having new experiences is the goat.

[Blueblob]

ITT OP is too poor to travel

Came in to post this. OP is poor and boring

[AndYUKnowThis]

Wish I could rep 100x. Must spread reputation around before giving to BearTactics again. Traveling, for 99% of people has zero to do with "experiencing new cultures", trying new foods, seeing a beautiful place, and 100% to do with rubbing in your face the second you get home. I have one ONE ONE reason to travel:

Banging exotic foreign sloots abroad because I am American.

THAT'S IT. If I don't think I gonna fuk a ton of strange hole when I get there, I am literally lighting money on fire by booking a flight in my eyes. And if you can get laid domestically, the travel to get poosy incentive gets smaller and smaller. But I at least respect guys who are honest enough to admit it. Not saying it isn't fun or enjoyable sometimes, but it's not even CLOSE to justifying the money and headaches that packing, planning, flying, expenses, etc. I liken it to a night out with the brahs at the bar. I enjoy going out, getting a few drinks, getting yucky, partying on a Saturday night. If going out to the city with my boys cost $1500, required a plane ticket, I had to wait 8 hours to get there, well suddenly getting drunk doesn't sound that appealing anymore. Traveling gives me close the same satisfaction, but a chit ton more time and money ("b-b-b-b-bbbut you get social media bragging rights!") Yea. You can keep it lol.



Yea all that's cool and all, but I'm willing to bet you fall into the 99% who parrot this bullchit to act like your enjoying yourself when eating chit food, getting chit service, and burning up your savings. I tell sloots the same thing and they eat it up, you look so "worldly" and hot when you talk about where you been, where you wanna go, etc. And even if you do fall in the 1% of people who are REAL travelers, who have a serious traveling bone, who have a natural born thirst for adventure, even then, the cost of traveling makes it almost not even worth it. Traveling would make sense if I were CEO10k/day and traveling was equal or less than half of 1% of my yearly income. If I could snap my fingers and teleport to Hawaii or Nepal or South America or whatever location gives you hipster *******s a boner so you can take pictures with your giant SLR, and this teleportation cost me the equivalent of a night bowling a few lanes, then I could see the appeal. But fukking lol at people making 40-50k, pulling money out of their 401k, starving themselves for weeks so they can fly halfway across the world to impress some chick at the bar. Protip: just read some travelblog, photoshop your face onto his "trying tarantula casseroles in Thailand!! #adventurous" selfies and you can fuk the same basic bish using traveler game and it'll cost you nothing except the beers to get her drunk.

History is my favorite subject of all time. If I here rich I'd build a library and travel just to college books and artifacts of several different cultures. Not saying I wouldn't fuk foreign sloots, but to say that's the main purpose is wrong. It would be your main purpose, not mine.

I've been everywhere I want to go in America. Time to go abroad and fill my life with other cultures. Drink beer and liquor from other countries and smoke all the legal weed I want all the while eating foreign cuisine. Sounds pretty fukking amazing to me...

Eat food, smoke weed, and drink? You can do that at home.

[Jw.]

lol, pretty sure OP is poor af and can't afford to travel without breaking out his credit card. I can feel his bitterness.

I've been to 18 countries so far(mostly in Europe) and loved every single one of them. Even the poorest country (yes, poorer than Brasil), in Africa.

one day, maybe, you'll have enough money to find out the beauties of the world... and then, you'll change your mind.

hehe ty bye

[jwlee7ucla]

I enjoy spending the amount of money you make in a year on frivolous things, so i can be constantly reminded how much I am better than you op.

[BearTactics]

I love how not feeling compelled to travel to less than countries makes me poor. Typical Traveller mentality. Probably took a million pictures and didn't even experience anything bc you were bombarding ******** with your travel pictures to prove you aren't poor. Lmao. What suckers

[cowboywayne]

While my hatred for "cultured" hipsters is similar, living the 9-5 American Cubicle Dream while fighting the rat race everyday leaves many regular people wanting to get as far away as they can for vacation and I don't blame them. It's hard to believe, but some of these people don't ******** and don't share their traveling excursions with anyone outside of close family.

I feel you. But I make a distinction between people who are having their soul sucked by being a cubicel all year round and want to go visit a tropical beach once a year to rejuvenate their spirit, and people getting "wanderlust" tattoos, criticizing others for being "close-minded" and boring not burning $$$ on superficial vacations, and thinking their Christopher Columbus because they took the most cliche selfies at the most cliche landmarks to impress others.

Whilst this is pure trollery, I'll give you just ONE example

Met a large American group at Trumps golf course in Aberdeen recently. They had already been to Turnberry, St Andrews, Troon..

As much as I like the USA, you don't have these things. The famous Scottish golf courses are a pilgrimage for golf fans as much as a Muslim goes to Mecca.

Now, transfer that same concept to a thousand other activities, hobbies, study subjects..opera, museums, churches, universities, sport, whatever. There really are things that you cannot do or see in the states, promise

Cotdayum brah what happened to your reps lmao, been rustling jimmies again I see lol.

But this I actually agree with, going somewhere with an actual PURPOSE makes sense to me. If you are a die hard soccer fan, and you want to see the next world cup in Russia, and you plan a big trip with some brahs, then that seems like a logical thing to do. Or you wanna try Ayahuasca, so you go down to Peru, take the trip there and have a crazy psychedelic experience, etc. Because then, if you're a big fan of that particular thing, then the trip is actually worth it. For me, back in 2007 if I wasn't a kid and I had some money, I would absolutely pay an arm and a leg if it meant that I could see the Led Zeppelin concert at the O2 Arena in London. THATS an actual thing I could do and feel the money is well spent because I fukking love Jimmy Page. But these are rare things tbh. And I have interests in a whole lot of chit, but it has to be some badass chit for me to spend that much money. Honestly, seeing Jimmy Page live in front of me, shredding that Les Paul, would be worth the experience. Same with Woodstock in the 60s. But otherwise, I could give 2 chits about the Taj Majal or Stone Henge or the fukking Great Wall, which I'm sure are cool to visit, I do love history. But I'm not gonna take some "deep" selfie staring into the distance with squinted model eyes in front of the great wall of China talking about how my spirit is enlightened with the history of our world. Ehhh yea I'll keep my money and look at a few HD pictures on google images and watch a documentary on youtube, I don't care enough to spend that much money and more importantly, I'm not going to PRETEND THAT I DO.

History is my favorite subject of all time. If I here rich I'd build a library and travel just to college books and artifacts of several different cultures. Not saying I wouldn't fuk foreign sloots, but to say that's the main purpose is wrong. It would be your main purpose, not mine.

I love history too, I plan on building a library for myself as well, I already have 30-40 or so books, but I love books, love reading about many things, especially history, I watch old documentaries of all time. Of course traveling offers cool chit that you wouldn't see in your own home country, my biggest beef with it is:

1. Way too expensive and not enough benefit to justify the cost, time, headaches of traveling (most of the time).
2. Hipster sheep acting superior and enlightened when they waste time and money on the most generic vacations Buzzfeed and liberal blogs to them go on, and then these *******s criticizing you, calling you boring because you don't want to spend thousands on a product/service that gives you as much benefit as a night at a Medieval Times Dinner Theatre plus a lunch date at a Hibachi grill. I love Hershey's chocolate bars too, but I'm not going wait on 5 hour Black Friday line for a ticket to pay $150 for a chocolate bar. To take selfies with it because cool people, and the internet told me I should do it, and I will enjoy myself and this chocolate will change my life.

We are explorers

Why not take advantage of our ways of travel and see the beauty of our planet? You honestly sound like a full on idiot tbh, negged

Stay out

I've been all over the US and I've been to Europe and Eastern Europe.

There's not really that much to see in the US. There's only a few cities, there's just farmland in the middle, there's no real amazing food that's "from the US" and nothing anything great about any city, except NYC. Also, our cities are choked with violent and degraded minorities, thus making them dangerous, or at least seem dangerous in most parts.

The US has nothing really that special regarding landscape. I've been to the Rockies and once there, you look at the mountains, and that's it. It's not like Europe where towns are built into them, you can go there and do things, but rather the mountains are just there and that's it.

Meanwhile, Europe has many great cities that are well maintained and pretty to see. The crime rate is low, the food tends to be special in each area. Italy is a small country, but it noted for all different types of food per region. Towns line the coasts, are in the mountains, and so on.

The US is very underdeveloped and when you go to small towns people are usually living in great hardship and having a tough time. There's nothing much "cute" or thriving in the US outside of the very few giant cities, which are also filled with people living in poverty.

[anonkunbrah]

kinda agree. these hotels are crazy with $100+ a night with all sorts of crazy taxes

[buzkil]

Just came back from travelling throughout China for a month, Whats up OP?

If this is your stance, why not try to move there? I dont think you've seen what you claim to have in America. The Rockies fukin suck other than for hiking trails btw. When you live there for a while and you get off the travelers high you'll find more of the same things you hate about America. Wherever you go, there you are

Also, you keep acting like America is so poor, yet we have a very small percentage of the world's population and the standard of living is higher than almost every other country. Your perspective is skewed for some reason

[vsportsguy]

Solution: travel for work.

[BearTactics]

Just came back from travelling throughout China for a month, Whats up OP?

You want a trophy for enduring street chitting, roach eating, overpopulated hell hole for a month? Sorry about your waste of resources and lack of a job

[dawktwenty]

I only agree beach wise. I've been a lot of places in the Caribbean and I will take like half the beaches in the Carolinas over any Caribbean beach. The only place I like down there is Marigot on St Maarten and I don't even parlay vou francine.

Why would you rather a beach in Carolina than the Caribbean? Dark, murky, rough ocean vs calm, warm, clear ocean.

[Gsxr25]

There is some truth to what the OP speaks

A lot of people hate their jobs and are looking for a way to escape, just to come back to the same chit reality a week or two later. brb working chit job for 6 months just to go on vacation for a week. ayyyylmaooooo

But if you have the time and means to do so I don't see why not

I'm semi-retired and travel on a whim all the time, but also live in the GOAT state so have plenty to do here

[CaliSuperSport]

Kinda a silly question tbh

Traveling abroad exposes you to different cultures, sights, people, and experiences.

While traveling around the US is definitely cool, it doesn't compare to traveling overseas.

[dawktwenty]

I don't know. Take a globe and really stare at it. Spin it around. Then take a pencil and circle the area you spend 99.99% of your life at. Seems pretty silly doesn't it? That's just the way I see it..
