[quote=Anonymous]I know nothing about the people you refer to but I suspect I know more about you from your single post.

Why do you take Instagram seriously? People only put their best photos on it. By default it can give you a misleading impression of the vacations without them meaning to do so.

Travel does not have to be expensive. Indonesia is very cheap once you get there. Perhaps they used points for the airfare. A couple can easily travel on $100 a day in Indonesia including everything and guess what, they’re still travelling in comfort. It’s called flashpackers. Upscale backpacking. You can do this all over SE Asia and China. Even in Europe it’s very feasible to have a great and yet frugal travel experience (and, no, I’m not taking about staying a hour away from the prime tourist areas). We are experienced travelers with a high household income but we rarely stay in fancy hotels or resorts and prefer to go as local as we can, mainly for the experience and because fancy hotels are boring after a night or two. We rent apartments on Airbnb, we do things like stay in university dormitories during the summer months (London universities rent out their dorm rooms, they are institutional but clean and fine and in fantastic central locations and for less than $100 a night and breakfast is included). We enjoy self catering because eating out all the time is tiring.

Last but not least, people have different priorities. They spend their money on travel. They don’t spend money on other things. You probably spend money in a way that has your friends shaking their head and wondering why for you could instead save it for travelling. [/quote]
