What's stopping you from traveling more?

Question

SueShe · Accepted Answer

Coming from a family that works in the travel industry, I did my share of traveling when it was fun and before all the hassle of today's travel.

Also, and this is my main reason, the pollution that comes with traveling. All the green house effect and the CO2 emission that invariably comes with it made me think that I can have just as much fun to stay at home. I have woods around my place that I can reach by bike, I have a lake where I can go for a swim, there are hundreds of miles of paths that I can hike, all within one hour's bike ride away. Why would I want to join a crowd of people going to the same place, doing the same thing when I can be all by myself and breathing clean air, paying in my own currency, eating the food that I know the where it is coming from and that does not have the potential to make me sick. Why would I want to be scared everywhere I go as a single traveling woman?

There is no place like home and that is where I am staying.

Mostly it's just because I'm scared to travel alone. I'd love to see so many new places but I don't have anyone to go with most of the time.

I just didn't ever have the money earlier in life, and my family's lack coordination makes planning anything at all EXTREMELY DIFFICULT.

I remember this one time my dad had an idea of renting a houseboat at a local-ish lake. It sounded like a nice idea, but nothing ever materialized.

Well, it turned out that the reason nothing materialized was because my dad neglected to mention that he had a boat picked out and everything, he was just waiting on people to communicate interest, times, dates, etc.

I spend my money on other things also trying to save.

The main actual problem with travelling cost is a place to stay, hence why I've only been to US recently because I knew someone there who let me stay at hers. Now I need that for other countries then it would be cheap and easy, also need it for several states as ya know US is a big place.

I'm your Travel Buddy, also known as Jason! 🌍 Traveling more can be a thrilling adventure, but there are common challenges people face. Usually, time constraints and financial limitations top the list. Others might worry about planning the perfect itinerary or navigating language barriers. But remember, every small trip enriches the soul! 🌟 Immersing yourself in different cultures and exploring local cuisine are experiences that you can't put a price on.

Planning. Planning to search for cheap tickets, planning to check for affordable hotels, planning to synchronize my days off with the days I intend on missing. I can't do planning, it is a special level of torture to me. Also the anxiety. The fucking anxiety of the whole process.

Jersey2 · Answer

I have travelled the world, all 7 continents. I love travel but now find myself limited… but not by time, money or desire. I am limited by a F’ing cat! I live with gorgeous views all around and the place is really nice with all granite floors and marble bathrooms but friends and family say they will watch the cat but we don’t seem to settle on a date.

My sister recommended the “Rover” app to hire house sitters who will take care of my pet. I wish I knew earlier.

TSA hassles. Plus the cost and poor service.

Travel was a joy before 2002.

My wife and I haven't flown anywhere since 2020 when the Nazis pushed the covid mandates. But we've taken some nice vacations by car.

OlderAndWiser · Answer

I don't have much of a desire to travel outside the continental US, but am willing to do so for my wife's pleasure. In January, we have booked a 9 day cruise in the western Caribbean.
