Stop gatekeeping tourism. "Oh, if you don't live in each city of each country for at least a week, are you even outside your home?" Who TF you think has money for that? People will choose what they want to see. If they stay in one or two cities, they haven't seen enough. If they run through 10 countries in 12 days, it was only a shallow visit. Who can win? Fuck off with that bullshit.
Traveling [place] implies you're seeing a large enough portion of it to be representative to all of [place]. That's what this is making fun of. Nobody says 'im travelling the US' when theyre just going to NYC and Florida. At most they'd say they're going TO the US. That's just what those respective phrasings imply. The meme isn't ripping on not travelling or not travelling everywhere.
You can also just go to one of the other countries instead
I just said people will go to where they want to go. Did I fucking stutter?
If they want to go to Paris instead of the just as romantic Prague, you don't get a say in it. None of your business.
evidently people feel like they do, or they wouldn't updoot memes about it
And people will start listening when said opinions pays their mortgage. Until then "lol, no" will be your answer.
people don’t get to do many overseas vacations. Makes sense they would want to go to the best countries first? Yes every country is unique beautiful and people are interesting and if someone can afford to keep exploring, it’s endless delight. but Italy, France, Spain are not deemed the best for no reason. It’s because they genuinely are
idk i think "best" is doing rather a lot of work here. smaller countries can be quite interesting and hospitable as well. i quite enjoyed my time in finland personally
i emphasized several times that other countries can also be interesting and enjoyable and terrific. Does not mean one is not much better. You might choose to go to Finland if you’ve already visited Italy but, again, not everyone can afford multiple trips, even over the course of their lifetime. And when you can only choose one, you don’t start with niche. Very few people would pass on visiting many different places, it’s just that most people don’t have that option
