Traveling use to be for the rich and well off. Now you have check to check people going in debt to getaway.
Funny how traveling has become so popular amongst the working/broke class. Just as purchasing high-end designer clothing. I find a lot this has become popular at the same rate.
As a person that has been to Spain, France 2x, Turkey, Greece, Italy, Slovenia and the Caribbean, I'm not jealous or hating just making an observation. Usually when I travel it's go meet someone. I don't get a damn about culture or explore.
Seems most people just travel for to show others how successful they are and/or make other jealous.
If they wasn't able to post pics on IG and FB, they probably wouldn't be going.
Broke people don't need to be going anywhere or wearing designer. That's why they broke.
Some people on my Instagram only ever post stories if they're out vacationing or at some fancy restaurant some shyt
Like why do you gotta let people know that you doing or where you are
Social media is the devil
man, I'm so tired of these broke hoes tryin to stunt by traveling and then turning their nose up if you don't travel enough to meet their standards.
I recently cancelled a chick who told me she expects a man to take her on a mini vacation once a month. WTF I look like potentially financing that kinda excess???
Greece is the new hot spot, particularly islands like Mykonos & Santorini. Funny thing there is more lowkey & cheaper Greek IslandsI agree with the social media part, and I blame celebrities. For example, Ibiza is the new hot spot. People going out there just to take photos on a yacht all day.
It's just black folk stunting with the travel pics. Yall gotta stop that.
That's what I'm saying, Ibiza been rocking since the 90s, the hype has died down a bitThis sums up the thread right here. Fam, where you been that you think IBIZA is a new thing for partying??

December in Africa is the best, folk celebrate the whole month. Diaspora from across the world come to the motherland for Christmas too. Folks don't know about having a BBQ on a Christmas day, with sunshine heatYou can tell whose actually in the know and who aint
Lol detty December comes around we all going back to Africa because that’s where the REAL enjoyment is
Places like Ghana, Kenya, Morocco, Gambia, Nigeria, South Africa. Can’t be beat during that time, insane levels of enjoyment. I would post my IG if I would to show some of things I was doing.
What makes it even more fun is that you have to be plugged in to even find the good spots. A private mansion that can only be reached by boat? They not advertising that to just anybody
Im not putting it down you fukking retard. I just said it’s overrated to me. Also I never said nothing about just staying in my own city just to eat. Even in your own explanation you didn’t say nothin that was super extravagant. I know how people are affected by politics, food, geography, economics, culture. Powerful rich people fukk over people with no money. That’s common sense
Have you watched Anthony Bourdain (RIP to the GAWD)? All that nikka did was eat on his travels, but you would have to be a simple minded nikka (nothing wrong with that) to watch the depth of what he experienced and showed to us, and say, "all he doing is eating, I can eat in my home city".
Part of travelling (not including the vapid social media stunting from a closed off resort) is witnessing first hand how people just like you are impacted by history, politics, food, geography, economics, culture... I'm am avid history buff so I visit museums, historical landmarks and (if possible) converse with everyday folk about the impact of historical events on their lives today.
It's ok not to appreciate that. What I don't get is the putting down of travelling as a hobby that has merit.
