I’m the same! When I couldn’t afford it I loved it. Now that money isn’t an issue I hate it. First of all, it’s unhealthy as s***. Secondly I seem to always have stomach issues afterwards. And lastly, I start putting on the lbs super fast. Studies show that people who eat out frequently have a lot of health problems. Diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart disease and obesity.

What made me hate traveling was experiencing private jet travel. After meeting my DH, we flew private for the first 5 years. I was completely unaware of the absurd costs! For example, 25k for a 3-hour round-trip weekend. My DH had flown privately for years before meeting me. Places as far as Hawaii and Europe!!! I don’t even want to know what that costs. I’d probably get sick. He is a multimillionaire, but you need to be worth a minimum of 20 million, with continued income, to afford this. I told him, are you nuts after finding out the costs. I saw a trailer in my future.

We now travel commercial first class, but the process is excruciating. That once private hour-and-a-half travel time is now 7 hrs, including the luxury of crying babies, annoying people, delays, lines, customs, etc…

I now hate traveling. My friends, who have never flown private, don’t get it.

I’d rather stay in my beautiful home and watch travel TV.

If I could pick a super power I would want to teleport. Skip planes/trains/automobiles and the head aches involved.

+++1000!
Why can’t they just contact the producers of Star Trek and ask them how they did that?

Who knew we owned a thousand salad plaaaates… 🎶

As I sit in my in laws’ cabin in Tennessee just itching to get on the road to home today, I find myself agreeing with this post. I would typically say I love travel- in years past my family has taken 3-4 vacations a year. But in the last year or so I just want to be home.

It’s been great, now everything fits me well. I find that if I travel in order to stay in a hotel that would equally pleasing I’d have to spend a ton of money. Then I think....why spend thousands on a hotel stay? I could just use that money for a house update.

Are you me? Lol! I hear you Op.

Dorothy said it best. There’s no place like home!

Hate traveling! Love my house. Renovated a 6000sf house and now I never want to leave it. Hate hotels, commercial airlines, cruise ships yuck. I’ll travel private but we can’t afford that much these days.

I have a friend who hates restaurants and refuses to eat out and this is what this post reminds me of. The whole thing just makes me sad.

Yes. My house is insanely nice. I have a nicer pool than any hotel I go to. I designed it myself and it's always at the right temperature and no one else is around. The music always fits my mood. The landscaping is always perfect. I use the Hotel Collection whole house scent system like a hotel and its always the scent I want. The furniture is perfect. The wine is always top notch. I have to travel for work and I hate it because I have to stay at places like Fairfield Inn. When I travel for vacation, I enjoy myself but am always so happy to get home.

It’s me. I LOVE our ordinary life. Kids have friends over. We go out to Rio or the city or wineries. We cheer on our kids at their sports and relax in a clean beautiful home that is spacious and has plenty of play areas for variety- ping pong, outdoors basketball, a stocked basement. At night I read my book with all my candles lit and rest in the most amazing bed. I just love it. I know I am lucky!!! Every air bnb we go to is a dump by comparison. Every hotel crammed. Ah I love and and am so thankful for our life!!

I love my house, my pets, my garden. I miss all that tremendously and don't crave travel at this point. I only do it for dh and dcs and to see family.

I hate the process of traveling. I love exploring new places, but I also love the comfortability of home. I LOVE MY HOUSE. I get home sick after 5-7 days.

No house would ever be enough to make me hate travel. I’d cry every night if I was told I could never travel again.
