[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I actually enjoy looking at (curated not 30+) travel photos. Gives me ideas of places to go! Much better than endless posts about dogs, kids, politics etc. [/quote]
It’s a type of peer pressure though. You see others traveling and having wonderful experiences and adventures, your kids also see this and want that. You want to provide similar experiences for your kids so you book trips just to check off a box. [/quote]

As they say, that’s a “you” problem that is not limited to travel. If I see my friends post on SM that they bought the latest new car, do I run out and get a new fancy car? No, I don’t care about cars and am happy driving old cars. I don’t care that my kids want a Tesla.

I like travel. If my friends go someplace cool and share photos, I’ll add it to my list of trip ideas. But I’m not going to do something I’m not genuinely interested in just to check a box or keep up with the Joneses. [/quote]
It’s insidious though. Maybe you aren’t affected by it, but many are imo. Especially younger people.[/quote]
