Anyone love their house so much they hate to travel?

I just read somewhere that being flexible is the sign of healthy mind and being stubborn or inflexible is the opposite ofcourse.
I have to tell you that I was much more flexible when I was younger. My top may be going...
Home is still the best, but I'd gladly get out to see other places.

The music always fits my mood. The landscaping is always perfect. I use the Hotel Collection whole house scent system like a hotel and it's always the scent I want. The furniture is perfect. The wine is always top notch. I have to travel for work and I hate it because I have to stay at places like Fairfield Inn. When I travel for vacation, I enjoy myself but am always so happy to get home.

Oh dear God.

Why is it binary? I love both. I also love both Mexican AND Italian food. I don’t have to choose.

I don’t really get “travel”…

Beach, lake, mountains, cities, art, museums…. Yawn

When I do enjoy life most… traveling or not is when I meet interesting people.

I’ve travelled 7 times this year but the thing I like most is meeting people. I tend to do that when I go places, doesn’t matter where I go every place has interesting people.

Traveling in Europe became tolerable once I established a no-museums-castles-or-cathedrals rule.

Nope absolutely not.
I would rather live in 600 square feet and see the world than live in 6000 square feet and never leave my comfort zone.

I hope at least one person is around.

I know two people who brag about having "sh!tty" (their word) houses because they want to spend their money on travel.

I get it!

I love to travel. And I have a great house that I'm thinking of putting up for one of those home exchanges (it's close in, near the metro, four bedrooms).

Np, and wow, I was literally just thinking this earlier. I am on leave this week and had considered traveling, but I changed my plans last week. I had my house built 2.5 years ago and adore everything about being in it; it is my favorite place to be.

Plus, since Covid, I am super squeamish about hotels and cleanliness and have a hard time relaxing in a bed that thousands have slept and humped in.

It’s been great, now everything fits me well. I find that if I travel in order to stay in a hotel that would equally pleasing I’d have to spend a ton of money. Then I think....why spend thousands on a hotel stay? I could just use that money for a house update.

Op, you and I have very similar views. I am the pp who canceled last-minute vacation plans, and I am instead redoing my powder room. My logic was that I'd get more long-term use from enjoying the powder room over a trip to Maine. I do still plan to go to Maine, but I am waiting for it to warm up more.

What’s the point, then?

I would consider OP’s attitude grounds for divorce.
