"travelling" is popular with women because it's a way for her to say she wants a man with a lot of money, without making it too obvious that's what she's saying.

it's why their idea of a man who travels is one who jets out to upmarket european cities or tropical islands, the sort of places a woman can brag about going to either to friends or online, and not one of those weirdos who goes to those random impoverished dumps because they feel like it. no woman's gonnna be impressed if you say that you travel and then your itinerary consists of places like sofia, kazan, tripoli or skegness
