I need to save up and try going somewhere completely different
You’re very fortunate to have traveled that “small” rectangle.
That’s true. I certainly feel fortunate that my life exists within it. It’s more of me noticing how limited (globally) my thinking/perspectives are.
Seeing europe in this orientation really threw me for a moment.
No worries, almost all of us have never been outside this rather small circle either:
I’ve never been inside that rectangle!
By our powers combined…
That’s ok. It doesn’t matter.
“you don’t need to look over the fence to know it’s a dog barking”
Yeah, information is as easy to get as ever. Travel is for bragging, mostly.
This is the take of someone who really needs to see more of the world
By jet? Or by internet?
Plane train or automobile, Volkswalken or Shoebaru, really anything besides blind trust in what filters through your screen. Only thing you can see online is the internet
You are aware that I am reading your thoughts about tourism on my screen, right? Could you show me some of your travel photos so I don’t take the same?
Every time I try to package an experience for transmission it just turns into content, might be better if you went outside for yourself
Come to Brazil!
Would love to travel to South America in general, Mexico first tho. Seems so big that it’s hard to think of where to start
Where’s banana for scale?
Can you not see it?
No, can you put a red circle around?
Yeah… “Small”
I’d make a math joke about how technically you’ve only been to an infinitely small subset of that rectangle because your movement is 1D on a 2D plane but I don’t know enough math to make it funny.
Since we live on a globe, all those angles are bigger than 90°, making it only a quadrilateral.
Travel is enlightening. When you unlock more if the map, you’ll find out the orientation is different, too!
Luckily you can draw the rectangle as big as you want and still say “I’ve never been outside of this rectangle”
I know someone who’s never been outside of south England
I also know your mom
If you plan on travelling do it sooner rather than later, while it is still possible to travel. By this time next year there may be global fuel shortages.
You could also try to travel during period of air company strike. It’s a gamble, but it could pay off.
My wife and sons where in south asia in april. And they should have returned to EU through a flight with Lufthansa. There was a strike that delayed there return by 4 days. I agree this was a shitty and stressful situation to manage.
After their return, I filled a form to ask for a refund at least for the hotel room. I didn’t expect anything. Well they refund me more than the full price of the flights go and return.
My rectangle is bigger than yours.
Dann right, it’s bigger than yours.
Meanwhile, people like me are practically banned from entering that rectangle.
I’d suggest traveling to Asian countries, because they are cheap and offer completely different experiences.
