I have only been to places that are “trendy” or have been commercialized. What am I missing?

I have only been to places that are “trendy” or have been commercialized. For instance, I haven’t been to Italy, but I’ve been to Spain twice, I haven’t been to Japan but I’ve been to South Korea twice, I haven’t been to Iceland but I’ve been to Ireland twice. If I were to go to Iceland I’d want to go to the blue lagoon, if I were to go to Japan I’d want to go to Tokyo, if I were to go to Italy I’d want to go to a vineyard and eat pasta in Florence.<br><br>I’ve asked friends and they’ll be like “I’ve only been to this part of Japan because I love Japanese culture and food” or “I’ve only been to this part of Italy because this is where our grandparents were from.”<br><br>I’ve been to places like Costa Rica and found a little spot that allowed me to disconnect, but I think that our modern day society has created an expectation for vacations and we view vacations and traveling as something like going to the beach or going to a city for food. I’ve realized I don’t find joy in traveling anymore because I’m only going for the social media minute.<br><br>What am I missing?
