Traveling


So, this is our world. And may I tell you something... You're free to do absolutely anything you want to do in our world. Sure, there's a few limitations but we can explore a lot without much issues. Yet, traveling could get costly so it's a luxury to many...


I love the idea of discovering new things, but I dislike the part how easy it is to travel through the internet. You can really see just about everything a country has to offer without ever going there. Where's the surprise at? You can even navigate through a museum virtually! 

Back in the days you would travel using a map and a destination. Now, you see 99% of what's going on at your destination. Then, you enter the destination in a GPS and you drive your car like a zombie following it every step of the way. You've got no real idea where you are passing by, you won't lose the road and discover something you didn't expect. You won't ask the way and meet interesting people...


And then there's this all-in disease. You book a cheap ticket online with a cheap flight and you fly to a huge complex. All you do for 2 weeks is sit there, all you can eat and a swimming pool and some other activities to keep you entertained. Why would you do that? Not to mention, most of these hotels got prison walls sort of protection you from all the poor people surrounding it...
