[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]First time I’ve ever read about aggressive travel. [/b]What a sad view on something that’s supposed to be enjoyable and educational. If l had more time off and more money l would choose to travel about 1/4 of the time. Because l enjoy it. [/quote] That's because it's not an actual thing. Just a term someone here came up with to describe someone travelling in a way they decided they didn't like.[/quote] It’s in your face aggressive travel like everything else now. It’s a great description actually. It’s ‘look at me, I am so wordly’ travel, ‘I am better than people who stay home’.[/quote] I like competitive travel because it more specifically captures what I dislike about it. I love travel, I just don't like this culture where people always seem to be trying to one up each other and it's about proving how worldly you are instead of just doing something you enjoy.[/quote] Again, I don't understand why you would assume nefarious intent. Why isn't someone going on a trip just "doing something they enjoy"? How do you know they are "trying to one up each other"? Sure maybe someone found out about a place via an Instagram post or whatever. Not sure how different that is, really, from reading about it in a guidebook 15 years ago.[/quote] Why can’t people just enjoy themselves on vacation without the constant need for validation? Do you need to announce it to everyone? Take multiple international trips per year? Why? Is constant posting to SM relaxing? Constant posing for pics? Is that relaxing? International traveling, with a family nonetheless, is not relaxing to me. It’s like running marathons, another insane trend. Is it really fun? Aren’t you tired? Or are you just doing it because you are easily influenced by others and you want to share every detail with others. If no one knew or cared that you were going to Tuscany, Lisbon, Galapagos Islands, Venice, Osaka, Croatia, Cairo, Marakesh or Iceland, would you still go? If no pictures were posted and no one gave a crap would it mean the same to you? [/quote] But not one poster on this thread has said that this is their motivation for travel. Not one! Maybe there are people doing this, but maybe you need to stop assuming that this is why people are traveling! [/quote]
