this was so well-written, and i'm saying this as someone who loves travelling. all your counter-arguments are correct, and i like that your main takeaway seems to be that travel should not be a replacement for appreciating what you have in your own community or hometown. i also like your point on how travel can be a form of escapism for many people, when we can work instead on healing the life we have now than planning vacations to get away from it. thank you for sharing this post!

As someone who makes a living from writing about travel, I really appreciate that this piece allows me to consider something so normal to me from a completely different perspective. Thank you for sharing this!
