So I see where this post is coming from. Many people use travel as a sort of status symbol or don’t actually learn anything about the places they go to and are simply there for personal enjoyment. It can be superficial.
But that’s ok. I think the douchebag here is the person questioning the value in travel (likely assuming this woman took a superficial approach). That’s not fair, people should be given the benefit of the doubt. For all we know she may have connected to her heritage and learned some key life lessons.
In this case if the person is of Europoid heritage (sometimes referred to as European) it might be a good opportunity to learn more about why they travelled and where they may originally be from.
Plus, if someone goes on a big trip outside their home country, and especially if it’s their first international trip, then it’s a profound experience. So many new things to see, hear, eat. Adventurous days exploring. There’s a lot of substance here to build conversations.
