Do I have to buy buy buy to travel abroad?

Shopping is not necessarily a trip abroad, it depends entirely on personal interests and needs. There are several reasons:

1. Tourism purpose: People travel abroad for different reasons, some for cultural exchange, exploring historical sites and enjoying delicious food, while others are for shopping. If your main purpose is to experience local culture and customs, then shopping may not be your top priority.

2. Travel budget: For most people, travel budget is a very important issue. If your budget is limited, you may need to spend money on more important things, such as transportation, accommodation and catering, rather than shopping.

3. Shopping demand: Shopping may be a way to relax for some people, but not everyone likes shopping. If you don't like shopping and shopping, there is no need to spend time and money shopping.

4. Environmental protection: Shopping may bring a lot of rubbish and waste. If you care about environmental protection, you can choose to buy local handicrafts and sustainable goods to avoid buying too many useless items.

To sum up, shopping is not necessary for traveling abroad. Everyone's travel needs and purposes are different, so you should decide whether to shop according to your own needs and budget.
