Are vacations overrated?

Is it too expensive and too much of a hassle just to spend a week in a foreign country?

What do you guys think? I'm a broke neet who can't afford to go on vacation but it seems pointless.

best is the 'staycation'
home and comfy

Depends on how outgoing and wealthy you are.

If you're counting your shekels and deciding whether to go, then it's already a bad feeling. Vacations are meant for people who treat the expense like a drop in the bucket.

It's not ideal for neet hiki types since they prefer a reclusive lifestyle and are bothered by normalfags.

For the average /pol/ user I assume it's not worth it.

>>510881997 (OP)
I hate normalfags so it's not for me.

Why would i go to a place far away from were all my shit is?

Also, you go, comeback and have nothing to show for the money you spent

I am not allowed to legally leave the country and am driven with religious conviction towards my goals. My vacation will be Heaven.

if you dont like vacations
dont go.

>seems too complicated for some ppl

The answer has been yes since at 2008, outside of maybe that brief window between 17-19 where it looks like maybe things have recovered. It's so bad I know co-workers with only 1 or 2 children who have big earning husbands (and who make like 80k a year themselves) say they can't afford them anymore. Prices have skyrocketed and quality has declined so drastically that unless you're pulling in at least 500k household a year it's not worth it. Of course I'm talking about cross country/international trips, it's possible to go somewhere driving distance 2-3 times a year but even then you're not getting value for the prices you're paying. It's disheartening because in my youth if you pulled in >=80k yearly you lived rather comfortably

if you're actively dating, telling a girl you don't travel / go on frequent vacations immediately breaks the illusion that you're neurotypical / might be a normie

speaking from experience

have at least 1 or 2 international travel stories under your belt

>actively dating
>telling a girl
Do you know where you are right now?

>>510881997 (OP)

I don't mind travelling for camping and outdoor activities. I've gone to Oregon and Vancouver Island for hiking, surfing, and rock climbing.

But going to big cities to take pictures and eat at restaurants and do normie shit is boring and a waste of money to me

People have begun to lose their hopes and forget their dreams.

Nobody cares about anything anymore.
Nobody wants to get together anymore.
Nobody does anything without getting paid anymore.
Nobody wants to do anything anymore.

Why would I leave the United States? We have everything the rest of the world has. Why go to Africa when I can go to Detroit or Alabama?

Not if you know how to travel. Wife and I leave the US 3-4 times per year. Never pay over 500 total for flights and always get discounts for stays. Picked up business tickets to Londonistan for 50k points each, so effectively $1k.

Destination vacations are for women and homosexuals to waste money at pretentious overpriced hotels and restaurants

Acceptable vacations for men are camping, hunting, fishing, motorcycle touring, etc

Men take vacations to engage in satisfying activities, women go places to tell people about it and post photos

girls like europe and like hearing that you like europe and you've been to europe
maybe girls are different where you're at idk
something is better than nothing, if you've roadtripped all over the US I think that counts too.

>Is it too expensive and too much of a hassle just to spend a week in a foreign country?
In the Internet Age, for most part. Unless you have a specific purpose to go somewhere, it's a waste of time. It's just a massive hassle to travel, and once you're wherever, it's more pressure to "make the most of the time", which makes it borderline stressful. That, and with so many niggers, poojeets, and chinks spread out over the past couple of decades, oftentimes it's "Paris shock" anywhere you go.

Also, if sitting around a pool getting blackout drunk between buffet visits at a resort in some brown shithole is your idea of a break from your day to day, you should kill yourself

A week is pointless. Make it a month or two. Whatever the tourist visa allows. As your home base, book a room in a shady hotel in the red light district that offers monthly rates. They're cheap for the quality and the mafia protects you from trouble. Then do what a man does best. Explore. Expore by day, explore by night. Any walkable city has a million little secrets, a million stories, for you to discover. After four weeks, you will walk 20km a day and it will be the most normal thing in the world.

>it's all about illusions
I pity you mutts. You are people who can do nothing and have to fake everything.

I'm fucking sick of vacations mom use the money to renovate the house a little you dumb bitch

>giving a shit about some femoids opinion of your travel history
I hope this is bait, but ishygddt

>>510884131

Exactly man. I drove to Smith Rock Oregon with a buddy and spend a week rock climbing. We bought a guidebook and tried to climb all the hardest routes we could. Cooked meat over a campfire. Watched the stars with no light pollution. It satisfied the male drive for conquest and exploration.

It was way more satisfying than going to some big liberal city, taking selfies and eating at overpriced restaurants. That's an inherently feminine activity.

vacations are fake and gay. you dive into an unreality which is toxic. you gaslight yourself into believing you 'experienced a different country/culture' but its a fake relic idea of a time when countries were actually different, cultures and nations existed, instead of now where everyone in the world is just an American speaking a different language.

>>510881997 (OP)
Vacations should be short and sweet. Last time I only went for 2 nights and went by train. Didn't even have to leave the country, there is so much culture right here. Why should I go to fucking Spain or Portugal when Leipzig is just as mysterious to a wessi like me?

Everything is the same everywhere
Inside a casino is the same as every other casino
Every mall has the same major retail outlets as all the others
Every resort offers the same "experience" as the rest
Waiting on line at Disneyland is the same as being on line at the DMV
Imagine spending all day flying coach to get to your colonoscopy

Traveling is too much like work to be fun anymore. Also, (((they))) ruined flying. It used to be fun but now it's gay. Unless you're renting a house near a beach for like two or three months it's just not worth the hassle. Actually, beach towns are pretty gay too. Too many people.

>>510881997 (OP)
Yes, it's a waste. Get a job that pays you to travel. You'll get sick of it after a few months.
There's no place like home

THANK YOU! FINALLY A MAN WITH SOME SENSE

>>510881997 (OP)
Unless you can do it for months at a time, it is stressful and rushed and yeah, $$$$$$.
I feel as though it's once was worth it. Doesn't feel that way anymore. Everyone is doing it wrong. People don't do anything at a human pace anymore.

>women go places to tell people about it and post photos
I once knew an obviously retarded woman who flew all the way to Italy just to get her photo taken in front of the Colosseum. She was gone for like two days.

>>510886777
checked and true

its mostly women who push this "you need to travel to be considered a normal human" = "if you dont play my game im going to shame you behind your back"

women are really nasty like that. if they hear you dont travel they will ruin your reputation and try to bully you out of that social environment. because it devalues her own life. nooooo you cant not care about traveling!! i took a loan for this trip!!! respect meeeee!

>>510888272
I'm a friendly hermit, Hans. I can't be bullied in that sort of way nor have my reputation ruined by a miserably harpy the likes of which you describe. I checked out years ago and simply don't play those silly games.

> i took a loan for this trip!!! respect meeeee!
Kek. I don't respect anyone who goes into debt.

>>510881997 (OP)
I always get cheap Airbnb's near the resorts but then I lurk around the resort areas, much cheaper that way.

Vacations to visits a place are usually boring and disappointing. Vacations to do a thing are usually more fun.

My wife and I consider doing anything that's not our usual day-to-day activities a vacation. We rarely go out to other states or countries but my state has shitloads of activities and different biomes.
My gen X parents on the other hand fly out to different parts of Mexico and the Caribbean like 3 times a year and all they do is lay by the beach, eat, shop, and do whatever activities they have there like tours, ATV rides, horseback riding, etc

>>510881997 (OP)
I work remotely and make ok money, could go anywhere and stay as long as I want, but I dont care, I have never left my country, I just don't see the point
