For those who used to love traveling, why don’t they go now? Why?

The epidemic forced us to stay at home for many months at the beginning of this year. Many people have found ways to enrich themselves at home, such as reading books, learning English, painting, watching movies, etc., and making arrangements for themselves every day. The food is full, and I can even go out now. Some friends told me that I no longer want to move, and I am more accustomed to the days when my home has WIFI and I have takeaway food. In fact, many people feel the same way about travel nowadays. The attraction of travel to them is gradually decreasing. There are also travelers who once loved traveling, but now they rarely look for distant places. So what exactly causes this phenomenon? Today we will analyze it together.

The first reason is a very realistic factor. We always say that nothing is easy in the adult world. Indeed, adults bear greater responsibilities, bear more pressure, face expenditures in all aspects of life, and travel funds are also shrinking. The cost of traveling is actually very high. Accommodation, transportation, food, and souvenirs are all a big expense. If you want to improve the comfort of your trip, such as booking a high-quality and comfortable hotel or buying an instant flight ticket, you will need to pay more money. No wonder when we were young we just waved our hands and walked away, but now we look at our bank cards and silently close the guide.

The second reason is that there are fewer unknown experiences. With the development of technology, we have more and more channels for obtaining information. In the era of information explosion, perhaps we have all seen related videos and pictures of unknown scenery. We may even feel sorry for not seeing the spectacular scenes posted by others due to wrong timing or climate reasons. The reduction of novelty is also one of the reasons.

The third factor is time. Modern people’s lives are getting busier and busier, and the pace of big cities is getting faster and faster. Most people who work or go to school can only travel on statutory holidays, which are also when people across the country take a break. Many people have seen the traffic jams during the National Day. The experience of being stuck in traffic for three days and a half after going out really ruins a good mood and makes people lose the idea of ??traveling.

The last point I want to talk about is the commercialization of scenic spots. In fact, we can also find that in recent years, many tourist attractions that used to be called "Paradise on Earth" can only feel one after going there. High street atmosphere. In addition to eating the same big squid, grilled skewers, and freshly squeezed juice, buying Yiwu small commodities with ethnic characteristics, and taking two photos of the trip, maybe when I get home, I just feel that I have gone and felt lonely.

The meaning of travel should not be linked to marketing sentiments, nor should it become rushed. What’s more important when traveling is savoring the history, culture and customs of the places you visit, enjoying the local rhythm, meeting a few friends, and seeing scenery you don’t usually see. This is the real journey. There are countless ways to love life, and there is more than just one way. Even if the coordinates do not change, simple life, as long as we enjoy it, is the value of realizing the journey of life.
