[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe you just weren’t this prone to jealousy before?[/quote]

Who's jealous? It's just shallow and boring conversation. Shallow and boring is fine among professional work associates but family are only together a couple of times a year and THIS is the most spirited dialogue now? It's sad.[/quote]

Travel is not “shallow and boring conversation.” What do you want to discuss? Little Larlo’s soccer? Little Larlo is going into AAP? [/quote]

You piss money away [b]flying places to eat & booze to try to appear interesting. [/b]It's just mindless consumerism.[/quote]

I don't know anyone who travels for this reason.

Some influencers seem to, but that is there job after all. [/quote]

Not an influencer, but [b]we are foodies and wine snobs[/b], so yes our travel often revolves around picking restaurants and wine tasting.  But not like an influencer.  It's simply because it's something we love.  So if we are visiting France, it will include 2-3 days in a wine region, same for Italy or Spain.  Because it's something we love.  [/quote]

I love to eat and try new and different foods, but if I ever call myself a “foodie”….
