What a well written article... I really enjoyed the read. I agree with you 100% you have no idea how many people get into arguments with me about the same subject matter. I for one have not traveled nearly as much as you but I'm definetly going to get there. This year alone I have been to 6 countries (Domincan Republic, Enlgand, Irelan, Peru, Argentina and Brazil). If people were less concerned with the idea of money and just more open minded about what's in the world they would see that there isn't a price tag that can be put on the experiences had on these trips. Another thing that one does to limit their experience is the (All Inclusive) way of traveling which really isn't traveling its a vacation that isn't really worth the $$$.
I am far from a history buff and never really enjoyed the subject being taught in school, but upon touching down in an unfamiliar place with the limited knowledge gained from google; I gain a history lesson like no book could ever give. To hear someone talk about their country with the love and passion means so much more than you can ever get from anything in pictures. Seriously, how does one really describe a place like Machu Picchu to another who has never been there? You simply can't put an actual mind blowing experience in words.
I love how you touched upon "If you want a beach, go to Florida.” This is something I have a lot of debates with because I think Florida is completely overrated being from the Caribbean. I refuse to even step one foot in a beach here in the US. I have been pampered with amazing beaches to settle for less and I know when I hit Thailand that I will be blown away even further.
I only wish I could travel more and till this day refuse to take a vacation day unless im heading on a flight somewhere...
All in all great post Thank You.
