Why Traveling Is Often a Colossal Waste of Time and Money
You’re better off spending your vacation at home and saving money
I bet you’re itching to travel again. Can’t wait to pack a suitcase, go to the airport, and fly off to an exotic destination? Catch up on all those vacations you missed out on while in lockdown? Stay at home. Traveling is an overhyped waste of time and money!
Did you spend the last 14 months wistfully looking at the Insta feeds of your favorite travel influencers? Binge-watch the 60-second promotional videos of the best places to visit on TikTok? Did you see yourself strolling along the Champs Elysee in Paris, climbing the Spanish Stairs in Rome, traveling the Canale Grande in Venice on a Vaporetto?
Or are you the Bali beach type? Ah, East Asia. Did you see the pictures of the luscious green forests, the waterfalls, the inviting beaches, the tropic fruits?
Forget about it; traveling sucks. Remember airports? The first circle of hell is a more welcoming place than a modern airport. Your travel starts with overcharged water and being groped by strangers. And this may well be the best part of your entire journey. At least they speak your language.
