Most people claim to love travelling but they go the same touristy places every time. They totally ignore entire continents while focusing only on a few countries they like. Travelling is a shallow hobby to do when one retires.

Most people just want to be tourists, they have no concept of cultural immersion or experiencing something the way a native would. After a while it becomes tiresome coz being a tourist is tiring.

This of course does not apply to all but most people who say they like travelling are like that from what I can see.

Gatekeeping? You guys are really on the defensive, must've hit a raw nerve somewhere.
