The blog is nice. Well, Said George Mikes. It is true that travel nowadays travel has become seems to have become some kind of social status that everyone wants to show online it is also true this thing has become the race. But genuine travelling gives you peace of mind which you never get from other things. Visit the places you like the most without worries. Just enjoy! Don’t take the part in the race and competition which people does. Go to hilly places, enjoy the beauty of this world.

I love travel pictures as well the way you posted in article I liked a lot That is a wonderful piece and I actually read it twice. George Mikes letter is fantastic. He said it right- you stay at home and let the world come to you. You too have said the truth. Travel has become a cat race. Everybody wants to post travel pictures and bost his/her achievements. I love what you said about the Delhiwallas. Completely a fun piece with so much of truth.

In reply to Suruchi. Glad you enjoyed it, Suruchi. I loved the way Goerge Mikes writes about travel and how it, in essence, remains the same even today in the times of omnipresent social media.

In reply to Megan Jerrard. Megan - I live at a popular tourist destination and I can literally see the world coming here to us. It is lovely to have those conversations, watch those films and those art shows in the neighborhood then going around the world to see them. Working for me :-)

In reply to Julien Mordret. Julien - yes, some of us realize that travel is more than stepping foot in a country and ticking it off. For me, travel is all about learning. It is all about expanding my horizon.

In reply to melody pittman. True Melody - Tourism is a big economic angle and it feeds a lot of people while giving pleasure to others.

It’s funny, because I think a scientific study last year (2017) actually did conclude that wanderlust was a mental condition. Idiots! Lol. I had to laugh at George Mike’s letter – it’s actually very accurate! Especially laughed when I read that those infected are now actively seeking to infect others … guilty!!

And he’s actually not too wrong about the idea of staying at home to let the world comes to you & shares its stories with you. With the extent of tourism now, in all honestly that probably is an easier and cheaper way to broaden your mind!!

Awesome read! It’s true that today travel seems to have become some kind of social status that you need to show off online, and it’s so true that the whole thing has become a race or competition, to see who have visited the most countries or who has been the most off the beaten track. People travel to tick items off a list, luckily there are still people online to inspire us to really enjoy the process of exploring and understanding the places we travel to.

Great essay, I really enjoyed reading. I got bitten by the travel bug at 15 years old and couldn’t wait to be able to travel the country all by myself, doing and seeing the things I loved. While I think the travel scene has definitely changed its focus, it also is making opportunity for many parts of the world that otherwise may not see any travel benefits or tourism dollars at all. The quest or thirst to see and do it all fuels the economy so that can’t necessarily be a bad thing. 😉 Besides, I love a good selfie. LOL Nice job!
