I believe travel is a sin, but I like when I don’t recognise anything.
Have to go quite far to find that these days though. Perhaps it will happen again in the future
That’s true for flying, but taking a bus or train really isn’t so bad.
Though I suppose ‘travel’ often means flying, especially for people in the US.
Haha I’m just curmudgeon, but it’s mostly carbon footprint, personally. Additionally I’m also thinking exploitation of people in the global South by wealthy Northern tourists (those trips are where you get the most bang for your buck because of inequalities I find unpalatable). Then finally there’s like the cultural aspect of rich(er) people vampiring off the rich cultures of poor(er) people as they “find themselves” or draw inspo for their next venture or whatever
So yeah a lot of personal hangups that keep it from being enjoyable.
PS For anyone who chooses to take offense to the above, if this doesn’t describe you, then I’m not talking about you
Getting home.
Airport security.
Paying an escort for a cavity search costs too much.
Food. I also enjoy flying and weirdly, airplane food. I’m an urban person and most of my travels are to cities, and my favorite part is urban exploration and walking around.
Getting to my destination.
