Traveling Is One Of My Biggest Life Regrets

I think I've mentioned this before, but the irony is when I was was younger I always feared that I would regret if I didn't travel enough.

But after the travel, and I mean particularly International travel I've done in my life, I've come to heavily regret most of it.

Travel is really so overrated and I suppose it's because I learned how much the rest of the world and the people in it are more or less the same on a relative basis.

Seeing some unique buildings or hearing another language really doesn't interest me, actually if there was anything I did find most interesting it was only the different species of birds in other countries.

All my life, the same disappointment I've found in American people, I've found out it's predominant pretty much everywhere in Europe and everywhere else too.

For me, that made travel mostly worthless to me.

I think before World War II, traveling internationally might have been much more interesting and fulfilling but like everything else, notice how they only release technologies or make something affordable to the public when the experience has already lost its luster or you'll never be able to take full advantage of it.

Around WWII, travel by plane was almost restricted to the very wealthy and was not really accessible by the general public.

All the stress involved with planning a trip, between booking flights and hotels or apartments, all the shutting down your life at home for a bit to prepare for living overseas, the jet lag, constant disappointments, all of it just not worth it. Having to get used to the new flora and fauna, dealing with pollution of which I'm also very sensitive too, and dealing with Roma Gypsies. All of it is super annoying.

I look back at all the traveling I did, and it really had a negative impact on me as it turns out and it also made me become more impatient because of all the time waiting around and feeling trapped, just to experience something different.

The time Goatis was temporarily stranded in Mexico, I so identified with him in the stress and agony and the lack of help you get when being in a foreign country and I've even had many experiences with that all too often myself that put a bad taste in my mouth on it, including the bitch I had a relationship with abroad.

I'm extremely sensitive to new environments as well including different ergonomics, and I don't miss all the issues I had with door looks and showers and slipping constantly on surfaces.

If I could have undone the traveling I did in my life,.and give it all back, I would do so in a heartbeat but then it's like if I never did it I'd be dying left wondering. It's so stupid!

But the point in me writing all this is don't get too upset if you have little opportunity to travel or never have yet or never may.

Travel is worse than ever now, and you won't experience anything that much different than you already do at present.

The only things I may have regretted is missing out on epic concerts by certain bands which were one in a lifetime experiences... Thanks to my stupid decisions in wasting time being involved with Women. The way they timed everything badly in my life or came into my life at times when these great events were going on that I couldn't make it seems suspicious.

It kind of eats away at your soul when you travel thousands of miles around the world to talk to people who repeat the same beliefs and words that you grew up with hearing in the United States.

Believe you me, as much as a trip to Italy may seem and sound very Romantic and wonderful, when you get there to see what you deal with because of the fucking tourists, they ruin the whole experience...
