[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a few friends and acquaintances who give off this vibe. Like you are somehow a "better," more sophisticated, cultured person if you opt for international travel over domestic. I think this is really weird. There are a lot of cool things and places to see in this country. A colleague was asking me about my travel plans this summer and when I told her we are going to Seattle next week, she as like "oh." Apparently Seattle is boring, who knew? I guess if we were going to Greece though it would be worth discussing  :roll:  Do you get this vibe from people too? It's weird right?[/quote]

i prefer international to domestic travel for two reasons:

[b]1) i don't like american beaches/oceans, much prefer croatia and greece for summer fun[/b]
2) the US has a lot of stunning nature, national parks etc, but i don't care much for that. i am more of a city person and american cities are in general small and not that interesting (plus i have already seen so many of them). [/quote]

I hope you don't go around saying this irl because this is such a ridiculously pretentious thing to say. I wouldn't know what to say if someone said this to me but laugh in their face. Are we supposed to believe you go to Greece or Croatia every summer? In addition to other extensive foreign travel? Are you a socialite who doesn't work? It sounds like something someone like Olivia Palermo might say. "Oh Darling, if your'e not at St. Bath's over Christmas you're no one."[/quote]

i am sorry if i made you feel inadequate. my point was that i don't like american beaches and oceans, people in the US like the surf and water is often dark or there are animals in it. i am not saying that's bad, just that i don't like it and much prefer what i am used to (i grew up in souther europe). and yes i do go there frequently.[/quote]

What about the US Virgin Islands or Hawaii?  And I'm pretty sure there are animals in almost all bodies of water...[/quote]
