[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This was the norm where I grew up. Caribbean for spring break, ski in the winter, beach house or Europe in the summer. I think social media and the internet has made this lifestyle more visible, and especially compounded with the anti-snob snobbery/pressure our generation puts on each other against owning material things (or maybe it’s anti-Boomer backlash), more people follow it and aspire to it since it’s a more socially acceptable way to spend your money.[/quote]

Honestly this seem like boring travel. If you’re just going to Europe and the Caribbean, you’re not very adventurous.[/quote]

Few places are "adventurous" these days. Going back packing in Indonesia isn't an adventure. It's an extremely well-trod place.

Having been to many countries (50+ though doubtlessly some will sniff and say that's nothing) I've lost some of that wonderlust and now prefer to return to favorite places. A tradition of returning to your favorite country in Europe or island in the Caribbean is a pleasure to enjoy and savor if it gives you pleasure. And "harder" travel requiring longer flights and greater inconvenience does get old once you've done it a few times, especially just to see something slightly different from a very similar environment you've already been to.
