In our discussion we talked about if vacationing sometimes is a way to “flex” on other people rather than just for pleasure. For instance some people go on vacations and take hundreds of pictures. When you focus a vacation on taking a lot of pictures, you do not get to fully endure everything around in the experience. I believe when you go to a place it is better to embrace what is around you and go for pleasure. We also talked about whether it was better to go somewhere you are unfamiliar with or a place you are familiar with. I gave my input of how this upcoming winter I am going to Paris and Barcelona with my friends. I will be incredibly unfamiliar with my surroundings as I have never been outside the country. It’s better to try new things and see different parts of the world. When you don’t have expectations of things you will see, you will get much more enjoyment from where you travel to. Traveling should be about fully seeing your environment rather than taking pictures solely for the purpose of posting them on Instagram.
