[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My family is UMC but I suffer from anxiety so traveling isn't my thing.  Since I think I can look at this objectively, I don't see people sharing their travels as bragging moreso that it's a lot of people's hobbies.  As most people get into their mid-40s and up, there aren't a ton of hobbies that can give people joy like travelling - especially those who like to plan their trips themselves.  So it can be all-consuming and they can talk about it a lot but it's not usually a look at how much money I spent, but look at how much time and effort I spent and it's fun for them to share.  I still like to listen even though I have no desire to travel :)[/quote]

The best travel experiences I had were in my 20s when I was backpacking and prepared to slum it. Now everything has to be organized in advance, there's little flexibility to change the itinerary and my spouse likes a certain standard of accommodation. It's not the same experience that I had in the past where I met locals and other travelers, and made things up as I went along.[/quote]
