There seems to be a fetish around travel with people these days, like it is the greatest thing in the world. When, in reality, it mostly sucks. Travel is just something suburban white kids / pathetic "influencers" do to flex. And a way for otherwise boring individuals to feel they are special. People act like travelling somewhere for two weeks makes them appreciative of other cultures and different people. That is straight up laughable. Eating a burrito in Mexico does NOT make you Hispanic anymore than drinking some wine in France wine makes you culturally French. Shitting in the alps doesn't make you Swiss. Getting head inside Big Ben as the clock strikes 12 doesn't make you British. What travel is really like: Pack up all your stuff, but probably forget things you need. Go to a transportation hub like an airport where you are elbow to elbow with other people rushing around to get invasively probed by the TSA. Board a plane where you are crammed in a really small space with the humanity's worst people. Have to listen to some Z blast music from his cell phone or some silly parenting podcast all flight. Get to the destination and figure out where your lodging is. Then try to figure out where to get food 3 times a day. Pay lots of money to stand in lines for long periods of time. When you do get to see something cool, you have like 10 seconds to see it before you have to move along because the line behind you is so long. Explore places jammed with other people, mostly acting dumb and doing selfies and livestreaming. Don't even get me started on how awful travel is for the environment and global warming. Travel is way overrated.
