I disagree with this comment. I'm way down from middle class and I just got back from a very long trip in a developing country.
The experience has changed me from head to toes in ways I wouldn't have conceived. I am so happy that I had was able to change who I was and to deviate from the life that I would have lived if I hadn't gone.
Not everyone who travels does it for "status" (in fact I would say that people who do that are a vocal minority)
- empath75 8y agoI did the same thing — I had $5k to my name and quit my job and traveled through Central America for 3 months. A completely life changing experience, and I met my eventual wife who was taking Spanish classes down there and happened to live near my home town. I don’t think anybody stays at $5 a night hostels in Guatemala for status.
