You're funny. Degenerate activity? Maybe education is a degenerate activity too?
Travelling is so incredibly superficial and degenerate, I can't even find proper ways to describe how much it disgusts me. Let alone, just consider for a second when in the history of mankind was such an extremely wasteful privileged experience even possible in the first place?
Then you annoy people for a few days in a foreign country that hate your touristy guts for good reason basically being the same ashole you are at home, expecting a degenerate tourist experience, or if you are the special kind of ashole, an "authentic experience". And after you lit the money on fire, paying a premium for sh!t you could have cheaply have had at home. Wasting the money that you worked your hours, days and weeks in the wage cage off to have one or two weeks of respite instead of, I don't know, work less in the first place? Make your life at home way more comfy instead? Anything that would have been exponentially better for the price?
No one in the history of ever "expanded their horizons" travelling. And those who did already had solid grounding and knew the names of their immediate neighbors and were usually some kind of scholar or could at least take something useful out an experience. And those did not just stay a few weeks or months in the country they actually wanted to properly experience which you can't by just being there a weeks, not even a few months will have any impact, really. And you must have some seriously good reason to abandon your real community, anyway.
