Staying calm when they expect you to be triggered is top tier growth.

Is it such big an effort to at least have a little look into Canada or Mexico or Cuba?

I suppose it depends on what part of the country you’re in. I don’t really know, but my guess would be that people who live closer to the borders of Mexico or Canada may be more likely to visit those countries. A lot of the country is quite far from those borders though. To me, seeing one country close to you is probably a lot different from truly ‘seeing the world’.

I have never really done this before and I feel bad/embarrassed for coming onto this ask but the way this question was worded got to me and led me to have a lot of thoughts that I wanted to remember hence me typing it out.

As someone who has had the privilege to travel the US and the world, it made me realize how much of a privilege being able to travel is.

I don’t like to assume but based on the wording I am guessing this person is not from the US or at least has been privileged enough to travel.

Traveling doesn’t just cost money but also time. To get an approximation of size, approximately 30 European countries can fit inside the US. So unless you are on the border of Mexico or Canada then the amount of time it would take to get there is a ton and that's not factoring in the number of stops you might have to take along the way for food or sleep.

If you have the means to fly to Europe, for example, that is still going to take 2 days of your vacation time just spent traveling. It's approximately 7 hours by plane from New York to western Europe and that based on the assumption you're even in New York or a place that flies to Europe. If you are in other parts of the country then you will need to take a flight just to get to a place where there are flights to Europe.

Time is also related to money because not everyone who has a job gets PTO so the more time you take off are days you are not making money which is not an option for a lot of people. Unfortunately, many people in the US have to decide between going to the doctor or paying next month's rent. Going on vacation isn't even a feasible option.

So back to the going to Mexico or Canada scenario if you're not on the border. If you drive then you have to factor you are taking time off while also paying for gas, food, and possibly hotels on the way. Plane tickets are rarely "cheap" and even when they are on the low end of the spectrum you are still talking a few hundred dollars and those prices are usually for cities and places with larger populations. If you live in a less populace area then prices are much steeper with fewer destination options. The same goes for international flights where prices jump significantly. Then you have to factor hotels and eating out.

While someone living in Germany, for instance, who borders 9 different countries and depending on where you live could visit one of those 9 in a few hours by car or train has a lot more opportunities to travel to a different country than a person in the US.

That all being said, I think some people underplay the variety of land, culture, people, and food the US has alone. For example, Miami is completely different from Boston with entirely different landscapes, people, and food. I don't think you need to leave the US to experience different things especially if someone is unable to afford all that traveling outside the country would. Even traveling within the US is not affordable to many.

To judge people for not traveling feels strange and ignorant.

I didn’t really see myself as poor as a kid because I knew a lot of kids who were far worse off. We owned a house and never worried about food or those sorts of things. But I only left my home state twice as a child and both were on school field trips. My school did two big field trips that were out of state and they were something like $100 per child as they were able to get discounts when taking so many of us on a couple of greyhound type buses and for packing 4 kids into each hotel room and renting a whole hallway of a hotel, etc. I was in my mid 20′s the first time I flew on a plane. I know many people who have never flown anywhere who are a lot older than I am.

There’s definitely a level of privilege to travel. I think some who are sort of in a wealthy social bubble assume that people who say they can’t travel are just choosing not to prioritize it in their finances. For some that is true, i’m sure some people buy a boat instead of going on a trip or something. But many people truly don’t have much discretionary income at all so it’s not about financial priorities. I know many middle aged or older adults who have never had a real vacation as far as like flying to a place to spend a week or something - ever. I’ve heard the statistic that 40% of americans would struggle to come up with $400 for an unexpected expense. Hard to go on a trip for under $400.
