Use to be a big travel guy but kinda cringe at people that keep saying to 'travel' this and travel that especially girls on social media.
also traveling is privilege, when people say why dont you travel bro? like buddy not every person can afford it. also with all the prices increasing and crimes up is it even worth traveling anymore these days?
only places i would travel to is the ultra mogger spots: Monaco, St. Barths, The Hamptons, Lake Como, Turks and Caicos, The Bahamas.

Some people have lives that don’t require travelling to take photos of themselves in front of landmarks or other places to be happy.
Inb4…”muh I go 4 the culture and experience” or “ahah poorcel I can travel”
Both cope, the fact is 99% of people who travel only go for two reasons
1- to take pictures for other people to see they are at another destination
2- for hotels/restaurants (which can be done in any major city in the world)
If you think travelling is cool it means you’re upset at your own life and are unfulfilled.

You sound fun. I actually booked a all inclusive trip to Mexico last week for November. $1300 each, everything included, even flights. I am not a fan of the all inclusive but I have a 18mo old so figure that would be way easier.
I camp a lot, always by a lake or river in Idaho. I camp 30+ days a year. Vacation to a warm beach destination is completely different.

Sounds fun srs. really want to go to brazil cuz i like their culture. Want to do backpacking throughout latin am, asia, and europe some day.
Agreed 100 percent. Feel like its so goated to live in Europe can see a complete diff country and culture within 3 hour flight. also yes here in north america its the same thing with nightlife, same pubs and bars.

If by travel like 95% of people (In UK anyway) you mean go to X beach and waking up early to call dibs on a sunbed every morning... I can't think of any thing worse. Several of my family holidays were like this and I got bored within a day.
Active travel holidays involving sight seeing, experiencing different cultures, city breaks are where it's at.

My son is 18 months old. I bet he has been to more places than most miscer. The entire west coast so CA, OR, WA, Montana. Idaho. Nodak, Sodak, Minny, CO, UT. Might be missing some. A ton of camping in places the misc dreams about. Rafting downs a river. XC skiing in a trailer. Biking all the time in a trailer. Tons of hiking. Backpacking trips. Just took him to a fire look out tower on top of a Mtn for 4 days. Remote forest service cabins. Going hunting with me in a couple weeks, mom will watch him but we are camping. We take him to ski resorts most weekends in the winter and trade off skiing and watching him. Just got his passport. Going to Mexico next week. Dominican in February. All before 2.
Get out, the world is our play ground. Enjoy it brah. At the end of the day it’s only about experiences in life. Go make some.
No excuses, make it happen, enjoy life. That’s the entire point of all this.

if i'm honest there's really not much in any state that i want to see. people show me scenery pics from their travels and i'm usually just like "ohhh ok that looks nice" but really i'm thinking whatever. they ask me where it is i'd like to go and i draw and blank...i've never sat around browsing places i'd like to see. might would go look at the bottom of the oceans in a vessel if that was safe...but not even dying to do that.

Travelling is great if you do it with a purpose. And the key to travel mogging is to have someone else foot the bill if you can't nix the cash for your own travel. Which is understandable since international travel can be expensive, I would know, I live on the bottom of the world far removed from everywhere else.
I went to Europe (Scandinavia) recently paid for by my university as I was there on business. Nothing really beats the feel of landing in a new continent or country for the first time. It was my first time to Asia and Europe. Don't go there and just take random photos like an insta thot, plan destinations and places which give you as much of a feel for the culture as possible.
Famous restaurants, museums, landmarks, stores, natural wonders etc. Go with someone if you can, I had to go alone and it was nowhere as good, but saw and did stuff with new friends I made whilst in Europe.Back off, Warchild.
Seriously.

aint that the truth. if i've seen one or two lakes i've seen 'em all...if i've seen a mountain i've seen 'em all...people are mostly the same in any western places you go. buildings and crap people have made...ehh. pictures can show me all i want to see. perhaps a little envious of people that can have mental orgasms by seeing stuff in person.

Honestly, most are just tourist going to tourist traps.
It really is. It's not just the money, but it's the time, and the lack or responsibilities or being able to get those things taken care of.
Most people work all of the time, and when they do get time off they just want to rest or have a lot of things to take care of outside of work. Some have obligations that make it damn near impossible to just up and leave.
