I prefer my house to hotels and my cooking to restaurants, but that's because we are not crazy rich people so we never do luxury anything. I am sure I'd like it better if we could go to $$$$$ hotels and amazing restaurants.

My mom and me too I guess I miss my house so much when I travel. I feel more relaxing and feel cleaner. Especially when hotel have carpet I feel like it’s very dirty

I live in a small shitty condo in the valley in LA. I do it so I can afford to travel the world. I’m at 143 countries and counting. Once I get to all 193 countries I’m moving far far far away from the valley!! For now it’s worth it, to afford travel.

I love to travel but have become much pickier about accommodations as I have gotten older. I rarely find a hotel that is as nice as my bedroom & bathroom at home. It kind of sucks. I end up shelling out a lot of money for nicer places to stay.

I’m not a homebody… I’m never home.

I don’t see why I have to go overseas or to an island to do what I do at home, a short drive or a flight to see a friend.

Are you being intentionally obtuse. People travel to do things and see things that they can't do at home. Our family loves the outdoors and hiking. We hike a ton in DC, but we still loves to travel to other places and hike there as well.

You you being intentionally obtuse?

I just don’t find “the other places” all that different.

Once went on a vacation and the other couple we went with the h got sick bedridden for 3 days. The rest of us were so happy not to have to do his itinerary. There are just so many museums, ruins, mountains you can see before they all become a blur.

Also I don’t mean stay 3 miles from your house. But I doubt you’ve seen everything within a short drive here in the US let alone the whole US.

I love traveling, because there're experiences that I cannot get staying home: snorkeling, paragliding, kayaking with seals, hiking among the sequoias, eating street food in Asia, people watching, bird watching, taking a Turkish bath, looking at great architecture and art, exploring castles and historic gardens, on and on.

Home is nice, but the world is huge.

I love to travel but I also feel a sense of relief when I get home and have all my things and can relax in my bed etc.

Im with you , OP. Hotels are gross. Rentals are icky. I’m rarely impressed and overspend. My house is clean and bed is cozy. I do enjoy traveling but love coming home

I like being at a resort where I can be served food and adult beverages... away from the loads of laundry staring at me every day, away from household chores. Traveling is a very healthy thing for us.

Girl treat yourself!

Every few weeks you should get a wash and fold service, a cleaner and order in!

Do.not.live.this.way!

Just don’t do chores every few weeks!

I sometimes miss certain comforts of home, depending on where I am, but travel is temporary - the house is not enough of a reason to not do it.

This. Love my house and love traveling. It sure makes it easier when it’s time to end the vacation and come back to reality.
