Travelling today is rather a past-time/hobby than a life event.
Travelling pre-facebook meant something. When you travelled you truly did immerse yourself in a foreign culture since there was no real escape. It was even better and more of an experience pre-internet days as well.
But today in 2014, people are travelling across the global just to take pictures and post on facebook to show others that they are cultured now. They travel across the global so when the topic of travelling comes up in the suburban house party they won’t be left out. People don’t even experience the country they are in most of the time. They just spent majority of the time in the city center and tourist areas. Take Thailand for example. People travel there just to have sex with whorish locals and other tourists. It is pure madness now. Same applies to the contiki tours of Europe.
The group that has devalued travelling the most is white women. Such sheeps, they don’t want to be left out and seen as uncool. So they load up on debt or use mommy and daddy’s saving so they can tell a story and look edgy.
Even white people are treated better overseas; travelling as a black person you will experience more of a foreign nation than cacs IMO. So contradictory as it might sound, get your passports brothas

Travelling is one of the best things you can do in life and opens your mind up to so much more.
So what if people stunt on social media? People also take pictures of their meals, has eating been devalued too?
I see what the OP is saying though. Folks be doing shyt for the gram instead of just living in the moment and enjoying themselves. Nothing wrong with taking pictures. It's usually the purpose behind that shyt that's the issue which is ego. Trying to make other people feel sad about their lives by bragging about being able to travel and having the time and money to travel and all this ego driven shyt. It's not good. That's inviting negativity.
...shyt done changed long time ago....
Nah let people live their bullshyt lives. Why do you give a fukk about other people doing harmless shyt? The world is smaller anyway cause of all this advanced tech. Who the fukk cares? Mofukkers are doing awesome VR travel tours in their homes now.......shyt done changed long time ago....

The point I'm making is that theres folks out there who are living their lives for other people. They want other people to give a fukk because their ego depends on that shyt. Traveling is one way they go about it. shyt is sad.

social media era, we should all be used to it now. all those born after the yr 2000 have no problems with the shyt. it's the old school people fighting against apps like ig the most.
That shyt you're worried about is your own self worth. Life aint sweet like people try to make it seem especially by those clowns you're talking about going on them vacations. People can show off all they want but when you come back home, you still gonna deal with what everybody is dealing with which is the unpredictability of LIFE and the constant hardships that we can't control...
So stop bothering yourself about others... enjoy everyday as much you can cause tomorrow isn't promised to any of us....

just wait.
