I find seeing other parts of the world to be vastly overrated. It is sometimes good to get away from your normal locale just to disconnect from it if that improves your ability to relax. But seeing the Great Wall or the Louvre.... not compelling to me.
I think that with travel, you really have to focus on what you would like to do, and everything else is really secondary.
For me waiting in lines for tourist checklists is not really my thing, I am more happy sampling food and nightlife and whatnot. Everyone likes something different.
On the other hand, it is my reason for living. I work to be able to travel.
People have different wants and priorities. That’s ok.
