I think about this sometimes. In a way it's a super antiquated idealism. And while you might be missing out in some aspects, you might actually have a more varied series of experiences because you're not tied down to any one particular spot. I mean you're paying someone else's mortgage (plus some change), but I figured I would point out the kinda muddy bright side? Eh.

I don't know your life or your living situation but if you have some change daycations are always fun. Bring a buddy, do simple shit, go as far out as you can take in a car (and still drive back). It costs way less than you think, and you get to do some stupid shit and it's a really good time for some off-the wall talks. So actually, bring someone you like talking to. If you aren't about that life, I used to grab the cheapest bus tickets I could find (I'm mostly talking Megabus which is only in certain locations...) pack a backpack chill at hostels and eat trashy to save money. So like, takeout rice - gobs of it. A loaf of bread and a chunk of cheese - sammich! That kinda crap. But you can get around and do fun stuff even if you're broke as a joke as long as you, you know - don't have things dependant on you. So it's kinda like...all up to what you've got going on. But daycations are choice, and I really hope you give a go if you have the time and a (little bit) of money. Pack food (or snacks if you're gunna grab food) because you will get hungry. Pack water. Please for the love of god pack water!
