Travelling is absolutely awesome, full stop, but it's not for everyone. If you dont think that then dont bother reading the next paragraph because it'll offend you and it's not my intention to offend anyone in this post.
I've travelled a shitload and it took me a while to realise there's barely any point discussing your travels with people back home who haven't travelled much, they either get it or they dont. Those that get it you dont need to tell them about it because they already know, whilst those that dont get it never will get it and arent on your wavelength with regard to it anyway so why bother...they'll completely miss your passion and enthusiasm and will only think you're a w***er if you get all deep on them.
I personally think it's got to do with feeling left behind or intimidated but you cant say that either because that'll be a friendship killer. Occasionally you meet people who feel inspired by your stories but they're few and far between. Ultimately it's like lots of things, you cant do absolutely everything in life and I've got lots of friends who haven't travelled and i dont think less of them as people for that.
Well said... and no offence taken.Travelling is absolutely awesome, full stop, but it's not for everyone. If you dont think that then dont bother reading the next paragraph because it'll offend you and it's not my intention to offend anyone in this post.

As mentioned in an earlier post, a very good mate of mine has travelled pretty extensively. I personally don't feel "left behind" or "intimidated" by people who've travelled. This particular friend actually does tell some pretty interesting stories at times.I personally think it's got to do with feeling left behind or intimidated...
I convinced a couple of mates to come overseas on a 'boys trip' a number of years ago, Amsterdam Paris San Sebastian Madrid etc, it was supposed to be a 4 week trip and they were home by the end of the 3rd week (i continued on and didnt come back for 7 months). I really understood at that point travelling wasn't for everybody. In many ways I find it very hard to understand because i personally crave to experience other cultures and see stuff i haven't seen before, whereas other people dont seem fazed by that sort of thing and like to just do what they like to do within the society they grew up in and know everything about. I dont get that way of thinking but I can accept it's each to their own.Well said... and no offence taken.
I think the classic travel w***er is more of a J. Peterman-type who thinks you'll be thrilled to death with his/her stories of travels to exotic locales. There's a fine line between telling an interesting story and coming across as a pretentious tossbag, IMO.

I've never travelled overseas simply because I've had other priorities (both financial and personal). I'm certainly not jealous of those who have, as it's something that's never been a high priority for me.
Of course travelling isnt for everybody.
Lots of people these days around my age group seem to love going to places like Bail, Vietnam, Thailand.
Personally im not particularly interested in going to any of those questions.
However, sometimes you meet people who seem to think that just becaues they have travelled extensively they seem to think that they are better then you for some reason.
Dyslexic much?

Anybody met or is one of these. Can't stand them. There are two types IMO
1) Always has got rooms/transport/anything bargainable for cheaper than everybody else, always been to rougher and/or better(depending on what sort of w***er they are) places/hotels/hostels than you, always been to more countries than you, know any country better than you.
2) How tourism is ruining the area or how it was better when they went there and now tourism has ruined the area.
Are you a travel w***er or do you know one?
I guess one tries to not be a travel w***er but when you have actually been to a lot of places and people say something like "...I am going to KL and got a pretty good deal at Hotel X, do you know it? .." what are you supposed to say?
I mean I am in KL every month at least once (w***er comment 1) and I spend 60%+ of my time in countries outside Australia (w***er comment 2). I have been on over 200 flights in the last 2 and a bit years (w***er comment 3) and stayed in God knows how many hotels (w***er comment 4)... after a shit load of time in airports (w***er comment 5), conversing with travel w***ers (w***er comment 5) I can safely say that I have heard of pretty much every site, place or way to get the best deal in many locations (w***er comment 6).... In response to the KL question, the guy was getting an ordinary deal at a very poor hotel in a shit location (w***er comment 7) - what should one do??
Sometimes we become travel w***ers unintentionally (w***er comment 8) and we hate ourselves for it..
What I would say, for what its worth, is that the vast majority of Australian travellers, particularly to SE Asia, are bloody embarassing - almost as "fish out of water" ridiculous as Yanks in Europe (biggest w***er comment of the lot number 9!!) ....
I hope that helps.
My hates.
1. People that live in Sydney/Melb for 8 months and think they are so much cooler now, comments like 'Jeez Perth is so quiet', 'Melbourne is so arty', 'Only Melbourne has real coffee'. Shits me
2. People about to travel and the write on their facebook status "Lennox is NY"
3. People that are travelling and are updating their facebook every day with new photos. It is your ****ing holiday not mine.
