I don't understand why you don't travel more, anon! It really is so easy... Some people just don't know how to be happy in life ;)

Get off Facebook you antisocial dick

She's right. If you like to travel, do it.
If you don't, then don't do it.
It's that easy.
>>
>>767458818
Gah. Those obnoxious travel people. Like I’m an idiot or something. I have a job I need to be at, to pay for my car/house/life/whatever.

One of my best mates spent 20 grand on a eurotrip, spent the whole time doing drugs and getting shitfaced drunk.
Always goes on about what an experience it was when in reality he took on zero culture and spent a month doing the exact same thing he does when he's home.
Fucking dumb.

What especially bothers me about people like this is how they so often act like they're enlightened or special for taking these trips. Always posting a million photos of sunsets to show off how unique they are

>>767459423
You know you can unfollow them? Or better yet just delete Facebook?
>>
>>767459423
You get me man.

Doesn't change anything if you're friends in real life. And shit its not like its that big a deal to me just a mild annoyance.

Why would you get mad about people asking where you're going? Only time I ever got mad is when nobody would ever come with me for various reasons.

Ive never understood people that "travel". I live in the US, outside a major city in a nice house in a completely white suburb. I can go to world class museums, eat at Michelin stared restaurants, go to the beach, visit a state park, and be home to sleep in my own bed all in the same day... Why the fuck would I spend a few thousand dollars to fly to some shithole country that has none of that so I can be surrounded by crime, disease, and poor people?

I honestly think for Americans it is about the "status" of traveling. For Europoors they think "traveling" means going to the country next door, or 2 countries over not realizing they "traveled" the same distance I would going from Wisconsin to southern Indiana.
>>
Never realized people were so upset about people traveling. Kinda silly. Sure, some people go places just to take pictures and brag about being somewhere. But that isn't the norm.
>>
>>767460146
From down under. For me it's about exploring, different cultures and adventure. Though I suppose I'm in the minority there because I don't do all the touristy shit. I hitchhike, sleep on the side of the road and eat out of dumpsters.
>>
I visit the Netherlands annually to enjoy freedom in using legal drugs.

> Sweden is a hellhole
>>
>>767460063
It does change it, because you can have a real life conversation about it with them rather than some sunset photos, they can tell you in gripping detail of their journeys rather than pictures. You can meet up with them when they return and have a drink and hang out in the real fucking world!

Went to Bali (Indonesia) for three weeks, in total spent less than 4,000 AUS which is like 3200 USD back then, fucked 4 women, cheap food and liquor

Fuck I love my Australian citizenship

My youngest brother is always posting shit like this. He's adopted, has a multimillion dollar trust fund from his biological family, and has never worked a full-time job. Meanwhile, I gave up my career to care for our sick mother while he contributes neither time nor money. Fuck these fuckers.
>>
>>767461153
Nope. Glad there are others though. Can count on my fingers the number of hitchhikers I saw in three years of fucking around.
>>
I know people like this. Their life is pure irony. They travel to get away from their stressful life. But their travelling cranks up their credit card payments, which make them stressed, which makes them travel more. After 10 years, this chick will be filling for bankruptcy.
>>
>>767461079
One problem...in my experience, when you actually try this with them, you discover that they simply got hammered in a bunch of clubs and did shit they could have done at home. Paying for your booze in euros instead of dollars is not a mind-expanding experience.
>>
>>767458818
Because life is work you lazy degenerate, you can go live in your filthy hostels in various shitholes, I'll live on my 10 acres in peace and quiet

Visit Asia. Lmk when you get back.

Is a life-changing experience. Also, I thought I had the dream also, white neighborhood in the suburbs and everything else. But I recently moved right in the middle of a big city downtown and I absolutely love it
>>
>>767461441
Yeah, and then not pay any of it back. Gee, she sure is stupid

>traveling on money you don't have
How the fuck? What level of irresponsibility is this shit?

WOW LOOK AT ME I'M SO SPECIAL AND QUIRKY BECAUSE I LOVE TO TRAVEL!! :kiss_emoji: <3

>>767461515
Oh, I've talked to him about it. He just doesn't care. He'll only regret it when he burns through the fund and has nothing. Which, at the rate he's going, will be in about five years.
>>
>>767460470
I generally don't care that people travel. I do get annoyed when 2 things happen. 1) they don't shut up about it. Especially when the culture they go on and on about is usually just them getting drunk or high in a new location. 2) they can't really afford it. My wife and I are friends with a couple. The one works for an airline and get heavily discounted airfare when there are open seats. We get to listen to them bitch about money and lost vacation time because they will jet off at a moments notice. This happens all the time because airfare is cheap, everything else on the trip is not. Also they are at the mercy of the airlines for return trips. They have taken overnights that turned into weeklong trips because there were no open seats on the return.

>>767461674
Spend over a week in a country and you learn it isn't special, it's just a bunch of people trying to live their lives and make ends meet, just like back home
>>
>>767462556
I've noticed that people today are much worse at thinking ahead than they were 20 years ago...maybe a consequence of the constant communication and instant gratification of the smartphone age?
>>
>>767461449
This has been my experience too. I'll take exploring my own area. Not to mention in the US I've used camp latrines that were nicer than the public facilities in some countries.

I understand what she means, the poor delusion fat yanks think that by going abroad all the time America's money is going with them.

Cause fatties have to fat.
>>
>>767462751
I've noticed it too. It's funny because this couple is older than me. Early 40s I think, and they act like teenagers when it comes to planning and life.

I work in down town Chicago and I can say I hate the city more every day. Its just a shame most of the entertainment around is in the city. I would never consider even for a second living there

I encourage people to try travelling abroad. Either you will love it, or not. Personally it opened my eyes to a lot, and I think it's money well spent. Other retards go abroad, and they're pissed that the McDonalds in South Africa didn't have their favorite #5 meal.
>>
>>767462892
I'm 43. Most of the people I know in the same age bracket do OK, but there are about 10% who act exactly as you describe. I have no explanation other than that some people would be fucktards in any era.
>>
>>767458818

Everyone should travel. This way more people will die when Malaysia crashes, Southwest explodes, or whatever. Travelling is a good way to get closer to death, so I approve it. Just shut your fucking drugholes about it, stop posting your manic shit online and die.

She’s gonna have 0 savings when it comes time to retire, or if something unexpected happens.
>>
>>767462556
I see. My wife and I always wait to book until we have enough to at least pay for all of the travel parts (airline, hotel, car, etc.) Upfront. We also limit our drinking when traveling because blacking out on vacation is a bit of a waste.
>>
>>767464902
Also we both have multiple retirement accounts with no weekly investments. So we aren't spending all of our money traveling. We just really enjoy it. Mainly for food, culture, experiences we can't do at home (SCUBA and whatnot)

Bi weekly. Whoops
