[quote=Anonymous]Yes and no.

I know nearly a dozen people who have traveled extensively (several dozen countries including off the beaten path places). They prioritized travel when they were young and poor. One guy often slept in bus stations or hostels if he didn’t hook up. He’s an immigrant who eventually became a US citizen and now he works a blue collar job. He’s literally been everywhere.

I also know old east coast money families who have traveled throughout Europe, the Mediterranean, African safari, fabulous islands, etc. Think: first class flights and luxury accommodations.

But it’s really a mix.

Re: where people summer - the most affluent people I know have vacation homes in Cape Cod, Tuscany, and DE beaches. Why DE? Because most people buy vacation homes that are accessible and have a nostalgic connection. Having said that, literally every greek person I know has a vacation home in Greece…although they don’t call it a vacation home. They tend to go “home” for a month at a time each summer. They are mostly blue collar professionals.

Mixed bag. [/quote]
