Traveling the world spending hundreds of thousands is great and all, but have you tried exploring everything about your community? I find it far more rewarding to invest my time into my own community and learning about others that are my neighbors. My community has a wealth of people and experiences and going through that is way nicer instead of not even scratching the surface of other countries people and cultures.
That’s why people that make videos like this tend to come off as so superficial. They never really take the time to get to know someone and invest in their life. They go, see and take what they want, and leave feeling like they’re profound and found the meaning to life.
Depends on where you live. My community really sucks (Terre Haute, Indiana), but I do a lot of regional exploration. You don't have to travel all that far, maybe a day at most, to find new and interesting things.
Does Terre Haute still have that smell? Been a while since I’ve been there but when my wife was in school at ISU, I distinctly remember that funk of the wind was blowing right.
Thankfully, no. The paper plant closed down. Instead we now have a performance space that hosted Ted Nugent a couple of months ago. And we're getting a casino for some reason.
My condolences. But at least it wasn't Trump, gotta find that silver lining where you can.
No, but Vigo County used to be a bellwether. It voted for the winner in every election for something like 80 years. Then it went for Trump in 2020.
I definitely assume that this county is named for Vigo the Carpathian, the Sorrow of Moldova.
You know what annoys me? Half the people here pronounce it "Vai-go." like rhymes with 'eye.' Did they not watch Ghostbusters II?
That’s the last straw. Time to move.
If I only could...
Just out of curiosity, do you know the name of the paper mill?
It was owned by International Paper.
Thanks for the reply!
I almost moved to Terrible Hole for a while ... I still wound up in Indiana, though, so I guess it was moot.
Depends on where in Indiana. We grew up in Bloomington and have many friends there and it's a decent town overall, even though it's in Indiana, so we'd love to move there. We can't afford a house there, but it's a nice dream.
Shit, prices there are skyrocketing, aren't they. Are they trying to catch up with Seattle?
It's not Seattle bad, but you're lucky if you can find a small house for less than half a million and our house is probably worth a third of that.
Hey, it could be worse. It could be Bay Area bad.
Ahh terrible haute
Depends on you. My community sucks but I enjoy gardening, grafting, hiking, hunting for delicious mushrooms, bird watching, boating and building stuff. Not to mention flying and fishing.
I don't really like most of that, but I do like exploring diverse cultures. And I can do that if I just drive a little. Which is a hell of a lot cheaper than backpacking through Europe.
That's all well and good, but my community would probably kill me eventually so...I'll stick to not talking to them.
Woman/minority/not-christian in a conservitive area?
Transfem atheist in the south so yes yes and yes
Found the dude not in a red state!
True, I’m also in a really diverse city within the blue state so I have access to so many cultures within my region. I can go to open events at a mosque or even at events hosted by the local synagogue or local Pakistanis or local Indians or local Chinese. So many cultures, it’s really nice and I’m very lucky.
Sure, but even in Texas, you can drive to either Mexico or a bluer state within a day and experience more culture. And Alaska has all the indigenous culture to explore.
Yeah if you drove for 8 hours
Faster than flying to Europe.
What if I just don’t care about the people though? What if I want to see cool places and climb cool mountaints, etc?
I think that’s pretty different then what the people in this meme tend to do
Idk, I live in a small town and I'm kinda tired of my community.
I suppose that is something to consider. Find a city you love and can see yourself calling home for a very long time
They also only ever go to Europe. Nobody that wants profound life changing experiences goes to Europe other than to put it on as a badge of honor that they did.
Traveling through places like Lybia or Cambodia you are seen as some sort of humanitarian, whereas if you travel through Germany or France, you are getting a life changing experience... If you really want a life changing experience, get a minimum wage job.
Protip: Live in Europe and you don't even need to go anywhere :-)
If they lived in Europe their life would probably be the same level of exciting as if they had just stayed in the US
Nah, SEA is the new hotness for "life change" tourism
Still pretty up and coming though since the infrastructure isn't as well built out and foreign language accomodation isn't as present outside of the already touristy areas, but when has the reality of a situation ever stopped a trust fund baby before?
I think there's still validity to globe trotting though, living international experiences will genuinely lead to better matured people, and serves as a pretty solid means of cultural diffusion, especially music and cuisine.
As for minimum wage work, I think that's best handled by adopting those laws Aus did specifically criminalizing karen tantrums.
It's interesting to look up the tourist things in your local area and do a day trip around home - perhaps I'm spoilt though, living in a federal capital with plenty of national things
