How did our travel culture become so obnoxious?

I’m tired of people like “I’m flying in for the day! I’m going to see 10 places in 5 hours and take 500 photos.” I love to travel but it’s also ok to relax and enjoy the moment at your destination. I don’t need to document every step of my journey because somehow that makes it more “worth it.” I don’t have FOMO about missing out on experiences. I don’t have to go on vacation and tell people how great it was and how I saw everything. I can enjoy a simple dinner. I don’t need to take a selfie in front of a famous landmark. I don’t need to take a photo of my airplane ticket. I don’t need to take a photo of the airline’s meal. I can just enjoy my meal. Traveling seems too much about getting content and less about actually enjoying the experience.
