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.

Translation: OP is only interested in traveling to expensive locations for boring people, and then turns around and blames those same people for making travel "overrrated".
Travel is fuking awesome and the best way to spend money. But you just aren't smart enough to do it correctly.

Couldn’t imagine staying in one place all the time.
Travelling monthly is my ultimate goal in life srs.
I don’t even care about money I just want freedom and to me freedom is mobility.
Travelling is goated.

Its always underrated. Go out and explore the world. We only live once and people want to sit around in their basement every day.

brb pay 5k to go to mexico resort and just get drunk at the hotel/beach everyday
why not do that in your own state? im sure theres bodies of water and campgrounds. you could even just go to the otherside of the city and get a hotel with pool for much less.

I think Europe my be the goated place to live
Imagine working your 9-5 then taking Ryanair to Barcelona for the weekend for like $100 (what I pay on Ubers for a weekend going out anyways)
Whereas us cucks in North America get drunk on weekends and hit the same pubs/bars in our cities we live in

Some people have lives that don’t require travelling to take photos of themselves in front of landmarks or other places to be happy.Originally Posted by Berts
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.

Man travels to tourist trap and surprisingly only finds inexperienced travelers who are only traveling to show off to their similarly boring friends back home! What a surprise!Originally Posted by OldBookReader

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.Originally Posted by WeOnNow
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.

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.

No, It's more like you are saying you want to get stuck on the same place your entire life. Go explore and enjoy life. We only got 1 and you will be thankful in your self that you did try to live and have some adventure in your life.

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.Originally Posted by Berts

Traveling is fun. Traveling and exploring new places is what humans do best. I just prefer places that have less people. Love historical sites, museums, and any other place my kids get bored.One party system; Most Republicans are Democrats, but no Democrats are Republicans.

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.Originally Posted by ArnoldLibCuck

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.Originally Posted by Mj-drewfan32
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.
