What's your take on travel? A great experience or overrated?

[bstoffParticipant 4878]

The key to enjoying travel is to travel by yourself or with people you really like.
Obviously, if you travel with a woman or women, you will not enjoy the travel.

In the internet age where you can look up photos of anywhere and anything you want to see I think takes the fun and excitement out of seeing things first hand. Save your money. And besides, not many people who travel come back more interesting for it anyway.

You’re not paying the money for f~~~ing photos. Jeez man! I mean, no s~~~. You can google earth what you wanna see, but the whole purpose is the EXPERIENCE. You don’t get that from staring at a photo. Jumping off a cliff into the ocean isn’t the same as watching a guy on a video do it, or staring at a picture. If I wanted to live vicariously through someone else, and see someone else white water raft, I’d watch videos on youtube. The point is to experience it for myself, first hand, to feel the water under the raft, to get splashed in the face, to work with a team of people navigating down a river and around rocks.

Over the course of the last three months of my skydiving tour:

Kind of brutal and it has wore me out.

Sleeping in plane hangers at drop zones, in my tent system above my Jeep in the middle of the desert, drop zone bunkhouses, a few Motel6 stops and a three week run when two strippers that I was jumping with let me stay at their house and I woke up every morning with two cats sleeping on top of me in the guest room and they were purring & doing that thing where they open and retract their claws repeatedly.

F~~~. . .

I’m typing this right now from a Motel6 near my next stop.

Had a rental car for 32 days at one point after my Jeep had a fire due to the air filter falling out and turning into an inferno. Followed by getting it back and slamming into two deer on I-80 which resulted in it getting towed and getting another rental car.

Jumping out of planes everyday for what reason, I still haven’t figured out. Maybe I’m trying to redefine the meaning of my existence. Or just going alpha-insane because a beta cuckold is waking up every morning next to the only woman I’ve ever loved.

It’s getting fckng rough out here and I’m continuing the onslaught through summer 2018.

I get uncomfortable being in places that I’m not familiar with. I have been to a few beautiful places though it was difficult breaking out.

its not the destination.

thaveling starts the moment you leave house, and ends the moment you get back.
So make the trip to the destination part of the experience.

Car to get out of the snow, bike and foot when further away in the sun.
not only be SOMEWHERE else… also do SOMETHING else. talk to SOMEONE else…but careful. the world out there is an exciting and dangerous place.

Mr Nuk-em:
Another tip is planning your travel.

Get out a map and maybe a brochure to have an idea of what you want to see/do and then how and when to best do those things.

I study airport layouts so I know where the gates and car rental places are.

I try to schedule things so I’m not arriving during rush hour or busy season.

Learn the layout of the places you’re going to visit so you won’t get lost or disoriented.

Have a hotel already reserved so you won’t have to search for a hotel room if you end up during a convention or something.

I always feel a lot more comfortable when I have some confidence of what to expect on my way and after arrival.

It all depends on your nature as a man.

Some men love it. Some hate it. Some can take it or leave it.

I am the third type. Done my share of travelling. It was great at the time mostly but now, like all things in life, the trips are all just blurry memories and some photos.

If I never got on another plane or ship again (been on plenty of both), I’d be fine with it.

Depends on why you are traveling. Going back home to visit family, 16 hour drive. Salt water fishing trips along the gulf coast 3+ hours depending on where I want to go.
Going to some sandy beach just to be going to a beach? Heck now a solid waste of time.

It’s only a waste of time if you have one of THESE at home.

I love to travel. Wish I could do more of it. I plan on getting a small camper or just throwing a tent and some supplies in my truck and off I go. When I finally do retire my plan is to be next to the house after or mountains then at a moments notice pick up and go off to see somewhere else. I dont need the material things. I always did wanna do the vanishing point route.

Going to Asia changed my life forever. I recommend a cheap trip to the Phillipines or Thailand. Both are very US friendly and most speak english. But, the culture is completely different. The women don’t have resting bitch face. Thailand is called “The land of smiles”.

“The best traveller has no fixed plans and is not intent on arriving”

“Travel” as many people know it is overrated for me. Spending lots of time with idiots, lots of planning, worrying about getting here or there.

Nowadays “travelling” is all about cupcake/mangina impressing people on Fakebook and ticking something off their bucket list. F~~~ that. I wouldn’t travel with a smart phone, you might as well take a ‘drive’ around your destination of choice on Google Street View.

Road trips with a good friend are good. If alone then I must have large degree of spontaneity/adventure and observing/living the local way of life.

Hell Yes – go some where. You can get some cheap flights to the Bahamas. Look at VRBO – great deals.

I love travel and as soon as I divest myself of my money sucking whorebitch I will be planning some trips.

Some of the best and cheapest getaways I’ve done were just cooked up in my head and researched (That is half the fun) and then just pull the trigger.

I ended up drinking beer with the locals, they showed me how to spear fish and lobster. Fking incredible.

The weather isn’t as nice as you’d think. It’s usually hot and muggy, furthermore the people are terrible and don’t know how to drive. The Hispanics drove away anyone who used to call this area home, so it’s an area filled to the brim with rude Latin Americans who seem fresh off the boat (less than 50% of the people here speak English, look it up). Everything is overpriced, the main nightlife is just bars and clubs, nothing special. If your goal is to sight-see or fish, you may have fun, but you can do that elsewhere. Let’s just say when Florida sinks into the sea, I won’t miss it.

I know exactly what you’re talking about. I know grew up in Fort Lauderdale. Went away to college and never moved back. People are often aghast when I tell them that I left Florida. I tell them ” You didn’t grow up there. You wouldn’t understand.” I also tell them that no one I knew as a kid still lives in Greater Miami. Now that I’m retired I started wintering in the Stuart Florida area. Nice little town for the cold months, but I’ll never live in Lauderdale again.

I’ve had Vietnamese-American gf and a fling with a Japanese-American. I’d love to go to the PI or Thailand and have a 4-way between me and 3 women there. Just for s~~~s and giggles because I’ve already done menage a trois with 2 women several times.

If I do that, it’ll have to be before my sex drive falls completely off the map.

All my life I've had doubts about who I am, where I belonged. Now I'm like the arrow that springs from the bow. No hesitation, no doubts. The path is clear. And what are you? Alive. Everything else is negotiable. Women have rights; men have responsibilities; MGTOW have freedom. Marriage is for chumps. If someone stands in the way of true justice, you simply walk up behind them and stab them in the heart-R'as al Ghul.

I guess if you’re traveling to a federal prison in some s~~~hole desert county in a bus full of other federal inmates then traveling SUCKS!

However,

If you’re in an airliner traveling to a famous winter mountain resort in the Wasatch range then traveling is a soul warming experience!

Especially Snowbird/Alta after a serious storm when avalanches were sweeping cars off the road and knocking down buildings!

I’ve personally set my boots on over 1/2 the countries in the world. I’ve been through all of the Americas, all of Europe, parts of the middle east, south east/far east Asia, and Africa. So I am perfectly qualified to state that for myself, that travel is over rated.

I can agree with that statement to a certain extent.

There was a time in my life when I gave a fuck. Now you have to pay ME for it
