Traveling is boring?? Most cities have 3-4 interesting sights to see, the rest is stuff you sort of force yourself to do and sometimes its a pleasant experience and other times you just feel like you wasted your time and money. I unironically look more forward to the food

Have specific activities to do at your destination. Travooling just to walk around looking at things is dumb as frick
>specific activities to do at your destination
like what
Like things that you're interested in.
thats why you do it with someone and try food and alcohol
>Most cities
>cities
There's your problem.
rural travel requires transportation, planning and significant outlays
even gluttony gets old unless yer a lardass
>renting a car and using Google maps is too complex for your dumb mind
>rural travel requires transportation, planning and significant outlays
jesus dude step outside your comfort zone once in a while
not all cities are devoid of wild greenery. >urban forest
>look at our 2 city blocks of managed plants, it's just like being in the real outdoors!!
city slickers lol
Nope, it's a 2500' tall rainforest mountain park I walked to from the city center of Kluang, Johor
The ramble in Central Park nyc is pretty cool, but y’a, not quite the same.
Doesn’t necessarily have to be rural.
>Most cities have 3-4 interesting sights to see
So don't go to most cities. Rome, Paris, London, NYC, Tokyo, Singapore. You could spend months in each city and not see all the interesting stuff in them, except perhaps Singapore, which is still worth at least a week. But really if you don't enjoy travel that's okay, some people are just boring and like to stay inside or have purely digital interests. It's okay to be a homebody just don't get butthurt when people don't find you interesting.
>dude... ANOTHER old building
Rome is nice. Paris and London suck. NYC is good for business not tourism. Asia blows ass.
That's about it.
Then stay home. Travel simply isn't for everyone.
Paris and London are incredible. Yeah there's a lot of migrants around but stay in a nicer place and don't wander the bad places after dark and there's a TON of stuff to see and do. NYC has a decent amount of tourist stuff to do, and is within easy distance of Philadelphia and Washington DC if you get bored.
>Asia blows ass.
One has to wonder what you even travel for.
>Then stay home. Travel simply isn't for everyone
lmao wait do you ACTUALLY think travel is about going to cities to look at the old buildings like a boomer
I have a personal goal to see all the fine art in the world that I can. I certainly wouldn't travel for food or pussy or anything else that's easily found at home.
You sound like a homosexual
You sound boring.
You sound like a snob.
What does travel or interesting cities have to do with being interesting as a person?
This pretty much sums up OP.
The point of visiting other cultures is the people. You should try to be more social and start conversations with strangers, exhanging points of view, learning other ways of living...
This being said, small towns are probably friendlier than big cities but that depends on what you are looking for
>the point of visiting other countries is the people
Yes. That's why I like Thailand so much. I speak maybe 20 words a day here and enjoy good social-minimalist vibes while doing business
Kuala Lumpur had great nature preserve parks as well

I actually think it’s completely legitimate to prefer rural travel to urban adventures. I like cities, personally, so I’m happy to spend some days digging into the mundane and ordinary stuff spread out around conventionally-popular tourist attractions in cities, which can indeed be limited in some urban areas.
I get a lot of fun and interest out of comparing details among cities. How do the supermarkets work? What weird-looking stuff is everywhere here that wasn’t everywhere in the last city I visited? How well does the transit system work? What do I wish I had at home, and what do I scratch my head to wonder why they haven’t eliminated or improved it here?
It’s absolutely blameless to dislike cities in general, and even to not really like travel. My brother, with whom I’ve visited probably thirty countries and at least a hundred cities and towns, isn’t an avid traveler. He’s game, and often really enjoys it, but it’s not something that drives or excited him, and he wouldn’t go if I or another family member didn’t invite him. He’s quite happy to stay in his apartment with his tech/nerd/geek hobbies and work almost all of the time.
But it’s undeniable that, even in cities, there’s a lot to hold one’s interest beyond the famous bits, if looking for those bits and experiencing them is interesting. And it’s ignorant and closed-minded in my opinion to think that rural areas are in any way inherently better than urban areas, but it’s still OK to like the country more than cities.
Anyhow, I’m sorry you don’t like to travel, but I’m sure you can come up with ways to fill your time that you enjoy more.
once you understand that humans are like bacteria to earth and cities are like colonies of bacteria you will see that urbanism is inherently bad. A repulsive destructive growth. It is only your ant like human conditioning that finds value in them, not the mention that they are places of suffering and you must actively ignore the suffering you see around you when you visit them.
You'd have to be insanely nihilistic and cynical to actually believe this
There isn't anything inherently bad about bacteria, they're just another form of life. You just think of them as bad because you mostly hear about the ones that cause disease.
Well baited, sir, but either psychotic or otherwise unbalanced if sincere. Humans have been urbanizing for millennia, all around the world. They’ve also been suffering in rural areas as well as in urban centers. Where one has crowds, dirt, expense, the other has deprivation, lack of opportunity, and, well, other kinds of dirt. Loneliness, too, although of course it’s easy to be lonely in the city also.
Neither is inherently good or bad, and neither is all shortcomings and no advantages.
I’ve lived in rural areas and in major cities, and visited 70-something countries at this point. I still like cities.

>places of suffering
That's the entire physical universe, get over yourself
Yeah it’s basically a surrogate activity, something to distract yourself from the horrible mundanity of modern life and to excite the nerves with unfamiliar faces and streets. That’s it.
>Travelling consisting of looking at shitty old buildings
You're describing visiting Europe, OP. The most overrated shithole on Earth.
Go to Asia or South America if you want a good time.
like hookers? beaches? people treating you good because relative to them you have lots of money? what's really so great about these places?
Everything is boring with a nihilistic lens.
What do you enjoy doing? Go somewhere that specialises in that.
Drugs aren't boring for a nihilist
I wouldn't know since I've never taken them but I don't even think that's true, obviously, it's great when you're on that high but afterwards, you feel like shit and wish you could get off the stuff.
Not the same thing but I've never met a smoker who encourages it
boring compared to what? heroine?
you guys set these bizarre expectations for shit. not everything has to be an orgasm
i travel just to walk around with gf, we’ll spend 3 days just walking. we don’t even talk much, it’s just something to do, we’re content with passing time that way
i dont know if id solo travel but people who do that are badasses
Do people go on SighSee and say all movies are garbage because they saw avengers and it sucked and there's nothing else anyway ?
Why is this board full of posters with no imagination who come here just to say they don't like travel wtf ?
This thread sucks shit I wish people would stop bumping it and let it die
Traveling in 2024 is only good from a financial perspective to increase your purchasing power and live cheaper for longer extended stays overseas of minimum 3 months per year to maximize your savings and leverage the power of your dollar. Everything else involved in travel, including the idea of dating the local women, has become a giant tourist trap or scam sold by snake oil salesmen online for views and likes. Social media has completely killed any genuine, life changing experience that travel used to provide.
