    100% travel has been so stripped of wonder and adventure. I loathe “destination resorts” where you take a plane to chill in an hotel with a pool and buffet, which is identical to the thousands of destination resorts all over the world. a vacation in a Thailand resort is practically the same as a vacation in a Mexican resort.

    leaving the traveler with zero personal growth

        Reading your post and looking back makes me realize that some of my best travel experiences were when, for some reason or other, things got out of control.

        100% Travel isn’t what’s fun. is the adventure, being open to the chaos of humanity in unknown places.

        resorts are the opposite. once travel is “safe” and predictable, it’s the exact opposite of what those vacation ads sell
