1. Landscapes ain’t the sole reason for travel.
2. Someone getting on planes to see all of that but never once wanted to see something not with in the confines of US boarders?
The two attitudes I hear most often with this is “I’m not comfortable leaving the safety of the us” or they on some American exceptionalism shyt and think everything is better here.

Traveling internationally is cool if you can afford it but domestic US travel also has a lot to offer. America is pretty diverse landscape wise and culture wise.
Salt Lake City and New Orleans might as well be different countries culture wise for instance.
The same with Denver and Honolulu

I’ve been to all these places, can’t disagree.
Now affordability, most Americans I know go to either Miami or Vegas once a year of not multiple times.
I’ve been to several countries for significantly less than what it costs to be in those cities. International travel is not expensive in general. Especially when everything is dirt cheap in a lot of these countries.
My experience in Italy.
Flight: $425
2 bedroom Airbnb: $90 x night
Food: we had 6 corses, bottle of wine, for 4 people for 90 euros and you to tip have to tip.
I just booked Portugal at a similar price point. I’ll do two trans Atlantic trips for what people be dropping on a weekend in Miami, EASY
Did nikkas just never left their hometowns or what???
Not even Mexico or Canada???
Yeah international travel laws were probably a bit looser back then but it been a requirement to have a passport when leaving the US since 1941
It just doesn't compute
As recent as 1999 you didn't need a passport to go to Mexico.
Are you from CACanada?
USA does not need to travel to other countries to experience other cultures

Until the late 90s, with the advent of budget airlines and the internet. Traveling internationally was considered an upper middle class luxury. Tickets if you adjusted for inflation could cost up to 2000 dollars plus accommodations overseas, basically you needed a travel agent to sort out all the details for you. The other thing was you didn't need passports to go to NA countries or most of the territories until pretty recently.
It took a while for travel to open up fully to the public. To keep it a buck a ton of west coast people hadn't even been to the south nor east coast let alone overseas, and vise versa. Then the internet blew up fully to a higher level and you could finally buy airline tickets online. Cheap airlines came about like Southwest, Air Tran, etc., the majors airlines started having deals, an explosion in newer and better hotels, Then it went a step further and you got to see articles, pictures, Wikipedia, Instragram, Google, etc. You got to actually see and learn about foreign places. Then acquire a passports and literally go these places.
There was a huge explosion in travel and simply knowing about the world in general in the late 90's and 2000's.

I live in Brooklyn fool.
plenty of diversity in a 10 block radius..
you satisfied staying in 1 country, I’m not. I enjoy the US from coast to coast, islands and territories. I don’t have to pick from domestic or international travel. I’m going to do both until i physically can not get on a plane. I’ll enjoy my travels, you enjoy yours
Not even Mexico or Canada???

Ya'll claim to be super blackity-black, but, you don't know this already?
My family, after I moved, only came to visit us and we were just 4 states over.
Yes, most black people don't even leave their home state unless it's for college.
