Why do people even like travelling literally everyone I know is a huge travel enthusiast

To fill the empty void that is their personality. Also an attempt to run away from all personal responsibilities.

Yeah it’s fucking annoying. I don’t want to spend my time in a car or plane and I can’t afford plane tickets anyway. I hate rich people, especially teens/young adults, who go on like five international trips a year for non work reasons

Have you tried not being a poorfag?

Most of them don't even actually like to travel, they just like to go to nice hotels in different countries and do the exact same things they do at home (go to bars, party, eat good food), just with the bonus of it being in a different country.

I dated a girl once that always told me how much she loved traveling and just wanted to see the world. So I took her along with me when I sailed from Seattle to Vladivostok aboard my sailboat, she was fucking miserable and bitching the whole time and then did nothing but bitch during our port stay and we broke up upon returning to the States.

Current materialistic world has nothing better to offer than to let you see how other people live
Traveling is like porn - why bother changing yourself when you ca get enjoyment from a fleeting glimpse of other's experiences

novelty and bragging rights. most places seem cool initially and when you are just there for a short time and don't build a routine like you would have at home. it gives such places a sheen of excitement that is missing from their regular 9-5 life.

god i know so many people like her.
these people can not stop talking about traveling and how amazing it is.
I wish they would realize how similiar their stories are.

>Why do people even like travelling literally everyone I know is a huge travel enthusiast
Travel expands the mind and stops you from being a parochial, prejudiced fuckstick. Interesting people are those who have traveled. No exceptions.

I like traveling in Germany and sometimes Europe. Enough to see for a lifetime.

Lmao, yeah im sure that going to fucking Vladivostok wasn't the ideal travel destination lmfao.

have you ever considered that maybe you're just an unlikable jerk?

Probably didn’t have enough foreign brown cock for her to pick up at clubs.

Women in the states just blindly copy each other’s personalities and right now they all love The Office, microbreweries, dogs, traveling, debating pineapple on pizza, and hiking.

>they just like to go to nice hotels in different countries and do the exact same things they do at home (go to bars, party, eat good food

That is traveling. Sure it’s not super adventurous but seeing different cities and cultures is all part of it. Like I usually end up traveling in business class to different countries and staying in 4+ star hotels but thank god im super unlikable so no girl has tried to get me to beta buck her.

Why not? It has everything these retards who claim to love traveling want. It's on the other side of the world, thousands of miles from home, it has a foreign culture and language, almost no one there speaks English. And we traveled there on a picturesque sailboat, the kind you see Instagram models posing on with their stupid posts about traveling the world.

It reinforces my point that these people don't actually enjoy "traveling." What they enjoy is the same warm weather and ethnic food they could get in any resort town in Florida, they just want the bragging rights of saying they did it in another country. Between my 15 years in the merchant service and the places I've gone on my personal sailboat, I've seen just about every part of the world that has a coastline. There are some really amazing places tucked away in hard-to-reach corners of the world, completely isolated from modern comforts and globalism. But white college girls don't want to go to these places, precisely because they are tucked away. There's no other white college girls that they can brag to there, no guys to party with and fuck, and no comfy resorts with staff waiting on you hand and foot.

>tl;dr
These people don't love travel, they just love the "bragging rights" that come with it.

Fucking globalized patternized crap. Travel is rarely enough to truly understand shit all. Live in another country for a few years, learn the language, and largely remove yourself from shitty expat circles and then you might learn a thing or two that isn't superficial.

It’s pretty cheap to fly these days. When I lived in London my wife and I would hop flights (Ryanair) all over Europe for what we would spend on a nice dinner.

Because it's nice going to new places.

flying in Europe is ridiculously cheap.
now the flying price is almost the same as the transport to and from the airport

Why do people like to do anything? We should all just stay inside and pay for internet to shitpost on.

>Travel is rarely enough to truly understand shit all. Live in another country for a few years, learn the language, and largely remove yourself from shitty expat circles and then you might learn a thing or two that isn't superficial.
Exactly. This is real travel. Get to understand difference in the world. Learn that you are not the same as everyone else. And never ever go to Starbucks or other homogenizing global food retailers.

there are a people who enjoy the act of travel like you and there are people who enjoy the destination instead of the travel.

holy shit, the cope.
You know damn well you would if you had the means, but you're trying to rationalize it away due to personal poverty.
focus on improving yourself, not festering hate for someone that is successful in some small way

>Sure it’s not super adventurous but seeing different cities and cultures is all part of it.
No offense but you're being a bit foolish and naive if you think you're getting an authentic experience of a foreign culture when you go to places like Cancun, London, Rome, or Tokyo. The "culture" there in the modern day is all superficial, it's knee-deep. Yeah there's the different food, but by and large you'll have no problem communicating because it isn't difficult to find English speakers. The few "authentic" cultural events you usually see in these places cater towards tourists who want a glimpse of a culture that doesn't really exist anymore. Globalism has destroyed the original essence of traveling in most major population centers.

As I said here:
there are most certainly still really cool places you can find tucked away. But these places are beyond the interests of most "travel lovers," because it doesn't have the glitz and glamor that they want when they tour foreign countries.

That's the point. These people don't like to truly broaden their horizons via travel. They just want to signal status, while remaining comfortable in hotels that offer the same service everywhere and cities with the same shops as anywhere.

Honestly, if some Anonette were to take me from Hamburg to Iceland in her sailboat, I'd lick her cunt the whole time.

Wanderlust. See new places. I don't understand people who don't want to travel. Seeing places in person is way different than in pictures. Driving through Tokyo at night for the first time is a shock. Walking through an old castle in Ireland makes all those stories from the middle ages real. Seeing the glaciers in Alaska makes you feel so small. Even seeing the Lincoln memorial for the first time is so reverent. Going to Africa...jk, I'm not going to fucking Africa.

Precisely this, maybe I haven't done a good job at communicating this point in the thread. These people do not want a truly foreign and exotic experience, because the thought of lacking the same comforts available at any major tourist destination frightens them and turns them off. These college girls that go to Florence don't go there because they want to marvel at the architecture, they do it because they want to take a picture with the architecture like they've seen other girls on Instagram do. They don't go to Japan because they want to try some of the bizarre authentic seafood the Japanese eat, they do it because they want to take a picture of them eating a squid and post it on Twitter. They don't go to France because they want to be immersed in a new language and learn something, they do it because they want to hang out at a hotel and other people that all speak English, so they can return home and impress their friends by telling them the whopping 2 or 3 words and phrases they picked up.

lol pol trying to pretend like traveling is for chumps just because they're too poor, pussy and insecure to ever actually do it.

cmon boys. it builds culture, and amazing life experience. I suppose sitting on your computers all day is the TRUE BASED way to live and die right?

Displays social status. Occasionally it's fun. Lots of attention for/from women.

Yeah but these dumb cunts dont do that stuff. They just go to hotels in those areas.

>driving through tokyo at night is a shock
Kek What you never seen somewhat tall buildings with lights before. That isn't worth the shit you lick out of your moms cunt everynight.

dude there is nothing to see on a boat trip to vladivostok on a slow ass sailing boat. there is only endless water and then at the end there is a russian shithole that not even russians want to live in.

My girlfriend loves to travel and I don't so I just let her travel without me.

Same reason people date someone for a few months and get bored and break up, they’re in it for the novelty.

The challenge of doing it is pretty cool, though.

And for some people, that's a new and exciting thing to see.

My first time I felt like I was in Bladerunner. Get back to class you drunken gaijin monkey. Go shuck and jive for your pittance.

ive been to tokyo and I walked the city at night.
what makes it special is that everything is so tight and small and everyone is shy as fuck.
if you are a big western guy its like walking through a movie set.

My wife was with me for almost all of my traveling. Thailand was like the back streets of Deer Hunter. Australia is just so crazy wide open. I miss it all. Mexico kinda sucked but probably in wrong area.

Thats bullshit dude. I've been to 32 different countries. Mainly europe, middle east, and central America plus Australia and Japan. The absolute vast majority of normies that travel do it to party for each somewhere foriegn or to "find themselves ". Aka They are trying to fill a void inside them. Every white person I met in Egypt was there to like connect with "real" history or some shit. Then they found out Egypt is a massive shithole everywhere you look other than directly at the pyramids.
When I tell people I've been to so many countries, lots ask oh what did you learn from all of it?! I tell them I learned the world pretty much fucking sucks and is a shithole outside of the PNW/Alaska/Montana.

Some pictures just don't need captions...

Then why did you keep doing it?

>The challenge of doing it is pretty cool, though.
not for a girl, they want to be entertained all the time. he should have done summer interrail in europe. girls really love it, they dont care about hotels, they actually like hostels more where they can intermingle and socialize and go and leave with whoever whenever they want.

I did it all before I was 24. Haven't traveled anywhere other than the US and Canada in over 6yrs now.

Did you learn what it means to live according to different religious frameworks and what this does for your daily life? Or did you just stay in Western hotels everywhere and contemplate how much you hated all these weird people.

And no, most people don't travel as a form of psychotherapy. They do it because of curiosity and a desire to learn. Being able to see the world through other people's eyes and via other people's experiences makes us all better, more understanding, and more empathetic people.

Bimbos, perhaps.

That doesn't answer the question.

The dicks (You) take in other countries are no different than the dicks (You) take in Australia, other than hue, fag.

Posturing.

>PNW/Alaska/Montana.
should i travel there? i would really like to see it for myself but im afraid of bears. really. and foreigners arent allowed to carry guns in usa so that would be a real problem for me.

>dude there is nothing to see on a boat trip to vladivostok on a slow ass sailing boat
Really? Because I've seen shit you've probably only ever read about in nautical fiction. But there isn't any hotel I'm aware of on the ocean with maid service and a tiki bar, which is probably why you assume it is boring and there's "nothing to see." You sound like a travel roastie yourself.

Man, you don't do that much of it without having fun.

its an ocean

This isn't necessarily true. You aren't legally allowed to purchase and carry firearms in the US as a foreigner (illegal spics do it all the time though), but if you have a validly issued hunting or temporary carry permit (some states issue these), you can carry it for the purposes of hunting.

Also, there really aren't that many bears in the Pacific Northwest anymore. Plenty in the Rockies and in Alaska, but they're a rare occurrence in Washington, Oregon, etc. If you're that worried, just hire a guide. Not only will he be able to show you cool shit, he'll be packing a revolver or lever-action with a bore as thick as your cock.

Bears aren't anything, just bring a bag of chips and if you find yourself face to face with a bear just give it the chips and slowly back out. It might follow you after but it just wants more chips. Bears are cool.

Imagine being such a brainlet that you think something that covers 70% of this planet isn't as varied and amazing as the 7 continents.

How about a global maximum tax rate of 0%

This is horrible advice, I'm genuinely convinced you're just trying to get the guy killed.

kill yourself

>Did you learn what it means to live according to different religious frameworks and what this does for your daily life?
I spent 4 months traveling with a buddy I grew up with who spoke Arabic all around the middle east and north africa. I saw little boys and goats be raped regularly. Everyone was out to swindle foreigners, you couldn't trust anyone you didn't know. This was in 2011 before Libya went to shit. Libya is the only country in the area that I speak positively about. Egypt, Jordan, Palestine, Lebanon. All shitholes full of pedo goat fuckers that spend all day praying and sitting around doing nothing. All their food is a mix of 6 different ingredients too. Its not a mystery their countries are shit once you actually spend time there instead of being a faggot like you who just watchs tv and thinks he knows the truth.

>you can carry it for the purposes of hunting.
i want to carry it for the purpose of bear defense. i dont want to be eaten alive.

That's what happens when you say nigger bear.

Rampant Narcissism.

Same reason you must buy a $6000 shiny rock to get marries, extremely effective marketing

They've convinced everyone that travel = happiness. The more pictures of yourself in exotic places you have on your instagram, the higher your score in life.

I say this as someone who fell for the meme, I spent my 20s going all over thr world, been to every continent except Antarctica, it's really the same shit everywhere. Go to some restaurants and bars, take a bunch of pictures, convince yourself that it's life changing, go home and expose yourself to more cleverly dusguised ads to find the next place that you just HAVE to visit, rinse and repeat

Exactly.
Get a friend in the area. I spent a summer camping in Alaska with two of my swedish friends and they always had one of my guns on them the entire time. You can carry one if you're with someone who owns them legally.

Travelling to certain countries and getting in with the locals just confirmed my prejudices in most cases. I enjoyed living in Japan (it’s not paradise though). Going to China confirmed to me they are soulless communist husks. Twain is wrong on this.

Yeah so just tell the DNR you want to hunt for deer or something and then just don't. Or, like I said, hire a guide. This is honestly the better idea if you want to visit someplace like Alaska. Many bears in Alaska have literally never seen a person before and they just automatically assume you're lower on the food chain than they are.

Whatever you do, do not buy into the retarded hippie propaganda about how bears are nice creatures who just want to be left alone. The people who repeat this shit are faggots in Seattle who have never interacted with wildlife outside of a zoo a day in their fucking lives. A bear is not cuddly, it is not friendly, and while they may leave you alone if they spot you, they may just as easily decide to rip your fucking intestines out and eat your spleen while you're still semi-conscious. Especially if it's a mother with her cubs nearby.
