WHY PRETENTIOUS TRAVELERS fill ME WITH hate

Updated: 1/3/2020 | January 3rd, 2020

Nothing irks me much more than people disparaging people’s travel choices. I don’t get why people do it. The whole “traveler vs. tourist” argument, talking about what makes someone a “real traveler,” and making fun of people’s routes — people waste so much energy trying to lift themselves up above others.

Isn’t travel expected to make you open-minded?

I do this for me. This is all my journey. I’m not in a race for the most countries visited, street stalls eaten at, or festivals attended. I do what makes me happy, even if it’s some “touristy” destination.

There isn’t a single “authentic” version of travel. getting off the beaten path, finding some hidden island, or living with some man in a yurt in Mongolia don’t make someone a better traveler than anybody else. It just implies your schedule and experience were different.

I’ve been riled up about this for quite some time and chose to make a video about this subject. Here’s how I really feel and what I think you ought to do when you meet a pretentious, judgmental traveler:

At the end of the day, travel is not a competition. It’s not a contest. Yes, it’s awesome to travel to far-flung destinations and get off the beaten path. but that doesn’t imply you’re a “better traveler” than someone else. You’re just a different traveler.

We all travel our own way because travel is a personal experience.

I travel the way I want and go to the place I want to see. I don’t have anything to prove; I’m just traveling the way I want to. It’s my life, after all!

As I’ve learned after ten years of traveling the world, there are always going to be people out there who try to get you down. just disregard them. They just want to belittle your experience to make themselves feel better.

Don’t waste your time on them. There are tons of other awesome travelers you can chat with instead!

So, go where you want.

Rob si čo chceš.

See what you want.

Eat where you want.

Maybe I’ll disagree, maybe I’ll try to get you to do something else, but, as Sheryl Crow said, if it makes you happy, it can’t be that bad — and at the end of the day, I’m just pleased you left the house. That’s all I care about.

The next time someone starts harping on your travel choices or giving you grief, turn the conversation around on them. tell them part of being a traveler is being open-minded and if they can’t respect your choice, the conversation is over. call them out on their crap.

And then walk away.

It’s your trip. Don’t let people destroy it.

Book Your Trip: Logistical suggestions and Tricks
Book Your Flight
Find a cheap flight by using Skyscanner. It’s my favorite search engine because it searches sites and airlines around the globe so you always know no stone is left unturned.

Book Your Accommodation
Svoju hostel si môžete rezervovať s Hostelworld. If you want to stay somewhere other than a hostel, use Booking.com as they consistently return the most affordable rates for guesthouses and hotels.

Don’t forget travel Insurance
Travel insurance will safeguard you against illness, injury, theft, and cancellations. It’s extensive protection in case anything goes wrong. I never go on a trip without it as I’ve had to use it numerous times in the past. My favorite companies that offer the best service and value are:

Safetywing (najlepšie pre všetkých)

Insure My trip (for those over 70)

Medjet (for additional evacuation coverage)
