You don't have to go far to have a nice trip somewhere. You could literally go on foot. Yeah some people do it just for the 'gram, but actually, meeting new different cultures always is a very enriching experience. Putting yourself into unusual situations is a very enriching experience. Don't miss out on this pleasure in life.
I love near a metropolitan city, so I feel like the world kind of comes to me. And each passing year my small town becomes more and more diverse, along with my work and friend groups.
Obviously not the same as going somewhere with different history and culture, but I feel like my cup is full. Like, I'm good for pleasures. ๐๐ป
I understand that, but it can't actually be literally true. Wherever you live, even if it's the literal belly button of the world, you won't notice what all people that pass through your town or live in your town have in common until you go outside and see what living without that thing you have in common is like. And thanks to that, you'll get a deeper appreciation of what makes your town your home.
It's not like tech: once you see a new technology at the store you won't want to go back to your own crappy technology at home. It's more like reading a book in the same genre, it will only make you appreciate what you love about your favourite more.
What can't be true?
I do realise there are experiences I'm missing out on. I miss out on plenty of experiences other than traveling, though.
It would be neat to go somewhere I'm a visible minority, though. I don't get a lot of that life, except maybe at weddings, big cultural events, etc.
Anyway my wife is a traveller. She gets that wanderlust from time to time, so it's only inevitable that she take me on one her trips one of these days.
The airport sounds like the worst part tbh so much indignity
