| I thought it was common knowledge that all these locales were for rubes. |
You’re the striver OP, right |
These sound fairly miserable imho. |
Nope. Wherever we go we make a point of not being a “tourist.” |
OP here. I wouldn’t go to Antarctica. Too fragile of an environment and I care about the planet. Plus there are no people with whom to interact. We went on a Safari about a decade ago which was cool Spent months in Chile and know the country from top to bottom Not a fan of caving. Tried it once and no thanks. Diving sounds cool |
But you are a tourist. You really think the locals like people like you? People who stay in Airbnb’s instead of hotels? Flood areas where only locals used to hang out? |
Hahah, imagine stating the need to travel far off locales to “interact with the locals” and build your travel dilettante resume while simultaneously claiming to “care about the planet” Now we know you’re a troll, no one can be this ridiculous. Well played. |
| They forgot Bethany Beach. |
Bethany is hardly aspirational. But it’s family friendly, nostalgic for people from the area, and you can drive there. Works for me. |
| OP’s vacation consists of trips out of mommy’s basement to the kitchen for beer and chips. |

I know everyone here trashes Myrtle, but have you actually been? There are hotels, motels, beach rentals, and really nice parts of Myrtle. It's the #1 place in the country to move for a reason. There is the beach, mini golf, go karts, etc. It's a fun place time. There's plenty of restaurants too. I don't get the hate.

Ah, yes. Not one of the 63 US national parks, nor NYC are great American destinations. It’s funny how many foreign visitors flock to these very locations. Be sure to tell them they’re doing it wrong. You are completely ridiculous. |
I don’t stay in Airbnb’s |
This. La-di-fricking-da!!! “Living like locals” is trashy and just pretentious. Nobody cares and nobody is impressed. |
| Thread has gone off the rails. |
