The point is using skills, your intelligence, your money or capital assets, with a social conscience and intention of increasing collective wealth, security etc, will cause more happiness which will make you happier long term, I find it fairly counter productive to buy somebody a holiday for two weeks when they need £39 to pay their bills or something you know, holidays are something fairly counter productive the capitalist class market as if you need them, many people don't know their own immediate environment or locality but feel quite the globetrotter once they've stayed in a holiday park on various continents for a few weeks, or spent a few months getting drunk and working in Australia, living in ignorance of their surroundings and the indigenous culture as they did at "home".

I would certainly encourage young single people to travel as much as possible before getting married and having kids.
It doesn't have to be about just going to a holiday resort and getting drunk so to speak. Although I can see how that would be the easy option for travel yes Gue.

I cannot stress this enough.

I have only one regret in life and not traveling more is it. It's painful to even type it let alone say it.

I also dont often speak from the soul on forums but what I just said is from the very depths. You get one shot and the world is a big place. Grab every available option to see any part of it.

My life is a constant travel, recently I realised I was lost on the road, so it's been lucky the internet left me a trail of breadcrumbs i could trace back to gain some direction, I was so lost I nearly just built a rickety shack in the woods and fucked it all off, but I've seen signs of life walking this way again so I think I'm nearing a place ^resembling^ home.

But yeah travel in the bourgeois/consumerist sense, where you do it so you can talk about it and seem all cultured and experienced n'that doesn't interest me in the slightest.
